[Kirby30] Fighters Deluxe sketch

For a little while I was back and forth about if I wanted to combine Fighters Deluxe and Drum Dash Deluxe into one float. Even though they released on the same day, they're still separate games in the end, so separate floats they shall be. They're purposefully made a little smaller than others, though, which isn't unlike some of the earlier spin-off games.

Fighters Deluxe in particular was hard to design. How do you make a float around a small game with not a lot of original visuals? Like I said in my last post though, these games give me an excuse to use some Triple Deluxe assets without making the Triple Deluxe float cluttered, so the Springy Hands seemed like a good option. Kracko was also going to be in the Triple Deluxe float, but I knew I could use him in this one. The animal friends are there in honor of their first 3D appearance, and all of the copy abilities featured will use their alternate hats originating from this game.

I think that strikes a balance between old and new!
