What Kirby: Triple Deluxe is

Kirby: Triple Deluxe is an adventure game developed by HAL Laboratory and released in 2014. It was published by Nintendo. It is available on Nintendo 3DS only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

One night while Kirby sleeps, a mysterious giant seed falls from the sky and grows into an enormous vine called the Dreamstalk, lifting Kirby's house, Castle Dedede, and much of Dream Land high into the clouds. Waking to the chaos, Kirby heads to the castle only to witness a spidery being named Taranza sweep in and abduct King Dedede, carrying him up into the sky kingdom of Floralia. Kirby gives chase, climbing through six vibrant worlds and battling Taranza's minions to rescue the king and uncover who is truly behind the invasion of Dream Land.
