ChuChu

Chuchu is one of Kirby's friends who appears in Kirby's Dream Land 3. Chuchu is a pink blob-like creature with a large bow on the back of her head, thought by some to be an octupus or squid. Presumed by some to be Kirby's mutual love interest, evidence given by the blissful expressions on each other's face when they're together. She has also appeared in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards as a cameo whenever Kirby obtains the Stone Friends ability along with Rick, Coo, Kine, Nago and Pitch. She appears in Kirby Super Star Ultra as the picture of Chuchu on the card in the sub-game "Kirby Card Swipe".

Abilities
Chuchu, as well as all the other animal friends, have the ability to share and enhance whatever ability Kirby currently has.

Fire: Kirby will spray a highly focused jet of flame that barely extends in front of him. While breathing flame, pressing the jump button causes Kirby to us Chuchu as a hot air balloon.

Ice: Chuchu uses Kirby's ice breath to make snowballs, these are then thrown at enemies.

Spark: Similar to Kirby's Dreamland 3's laser. Chuchu charges up electricity in one psuedopod, eventually releasing it. This beam, if charged fully, will bounce of hills.

Stone: Chuchu grabs Stone Kirby and swings him around. Movement while performing this is possible. This is also one of the few variations of the stone ability that have no effect in the downward direction.

Needle: Chuchu develops and fires off needles in five directions. These needles are weak and have a very small range.

Parasol: Kirby and Chuchu to ride atop a spinning parasol. Both seem to be laughing while this ability is being used.

Cutter: Chuchu to becomes the cutter and Kirby then swings her around.

Clean: Chuchu and Kirby fly on a broom. This ability only damages enemies who come into contact with the rear end of the broom.

Trivia
