Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe - Released in 2014 for the Nintendo 3DS eShop. It is a more complete version of the minigame Dedede's Drum Dash from Kirby: Triple Deluxe. [72] [ circular reference] [73] [ circular reference] Eventually, somewhere in the galaxy, the next generation of Star Warriors, Kirby, is born. Kirby was to gain strength against Nightmare as he slept in a spaceship he had acquired from parts unknown. However, the Star Warrior's spacecraft has the ability to automatically go to the planet where the monsters are located, and when the spacecraft catches the presence of Planet Popstar's monsters, it wakes Kirby up two hundred years ahead of schedule, and the inexperienced, clueless and baby-like Kirby, is unable to control the spacecraft as it crash-lands in Pupu Village (Cappy Town in the English dub). After crash-landing, Kirby makes friends with siblings Tiff and Tuff in the English dub and others in Cappy Town, and with their help, he was assigned to fight the monsters to overthrow Nightmare.Kirby’s very origin is one of malleability. When developing Kirby’s Dream Land, Iwata Satoru liked the fact that anyone could draw Kirby, and Sakurai Masahiro wanted to make a game that anyone could play. He can take on any hat, knife, or thiccness and retain his essence as a jolly fellow. Kirby even began life as a prototype sprite, one that Sakurai grew fond of enough to make the center of his creative life. If that doesn’t characterize his very essence, I don’t know what does.
