Not just my favorite Kirby game, but my favorite video game of all time. I'm aware it's an unpopular opinion to prefer this over Planet Robobot, and in fairness that game's a strong second place in my eyes! Having replayed them both back-to-back, what edges Triple Deluxe to the top for me is how cozy it feels. The world themes are especially colorful and distinctive even by Kirby standards and the backgrounds go for more of a geometric look which gives the game a really unique identity compared to others in the series. It adds an extra bit of charm and style to modern Kirby's winning formula of rock-solid platforming, great boss fights, and a variety of side content, which have all been taken a step further compared to Return to Dream Land. It's my personal gold standard for Kirby games and one that I'm sure I'll continue to revisit a lot in the future.
