"Even the stoic Meta Knight has fallen prey to the enemy's evil influence, and now their foreboding fortress has suddenly appeared. Why have they come to this land? WHY?! Undeterred, Kirby and his friends charge forward with gusto."

- World Select

Fortress of Shadows - Jambastion is the third level in Kirby Star Allies, following Planet Popstar and preceding Far-Flung - Starlight Heroes.

General Information
Jambastion is a giant fortress that has landed on Planet Popstar. The player fights Pon & Con and the three Jambastion mages in this level, and appears to be a warship of Hyness. It is unknown how he acquired the Jambastion, or the abilities it has other than space travel. It is shown to be quite fragile, as after Zan Partizanne is defeated she only punctures a yellow orb in the background and the Jambastion is destroyed.

Physical Appearance
The main body of the Jambastion appears to come from an asteroid of some sort, as it appears to be made of an asymmetric rock. The Jambastion's design features four long off-white horns, bat-like wings and that may have been made in the likeness of Void Termina's third phase, and five red octohedrons that surround the palace's metal rings. On top of these rings are blue runes that appear to made of energy. Under the horns is a giant red eyeball symbol.
