Space Jump

A Space Jump is an ability mainly used by helpers and helper characters such as King Dedede, Meta Knight, Bandana Waddle Dee, Gooey, and any Dream Friend. This ability teleports any helper to Player 1 if they lag off-screen, or is manually triggered by the player, as the camera is centered to follow Player 1.

This ability can be activated by pressing the X Button in Kirby Super Star and its remake. Holding down the X Button locks the teleport in Kirby's location until the button is released. Repeatedly tapping the X Button causes the Helper to self-destruct. This ability can also be triggered manually by pressing the A Button in Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Kirby Star Allies, or by pressing the B Button in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. In Kirby Mass Attack, this occurrence happens automatically if any Kirby is too far behind.

Trivia

 * In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, an identical phenomenon happens during the Subspace Emissary whenever Player 2 fails to keep up with Player 1. Coincidentally, the name for this ability is also referred to as a Space Jump.
