Damn, Kirby: Triple Deluxe was mine too. I'll just go with one of my other favorites, as I had no particular order after Kirby:
1. Shantae and the Pirate's Curse
2. Technically none, but
3. Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is the continuation of the Shantae trilogy, where Shantae no longer has her genie powers after they were taken away by Risky Boots. In Pirate's Curse, Shantae must team up with Risky in order to defeat the Pirate Master and save Scuttle Town from the curse being put upon it by him. Pirate's Curse is more of a Metroidvania style game than the first two games, where Shantae can find Risky's pirate gear in order to help her traverse the islands. Some of these include Risky's Pirate Hat which allows her to glide across a gap or move upward in wind, as well as a scimitar which lets her hop across spikes and defeat enemies below her, among others. Another great part of Pirate's Curse is being able to talk to characters, as they have humorous dialogue and are affected by whatever goes on in Scuttle Town as the game progresses, which is a cool touch.
4. I don't really have ideas for a sequel that actually changes the mechanics of Pirate's Curse. However, I would like to have the ability to play as some characters other than Shantae, including Risky, Sky, Bolo, and Rottytops. I would also want her genie powers to be brought back, where she can transform into the monkey, as well as new animals. There should also be a quick change feature that allows you to quickly cycle through different animals with L and R (or ZL/ZR) without having to go through the dance. Other than that, I'd just like to see some more unique gameplay mechanics and well-designed dungeons like in Pirate's Curse.
5. I'll post in here in a second, I was going to do that anyway.
