Helper to Hero

Helper to Hero is a mode in Kirby Super Star Ultra that lets the player play as any of the twenty Helpers in the game (including Sword Knight) through a rigorous test of taking down 13 bosses and finally Wham Bam Jewel, who appears after defeating Wham Bam Rock, but without returning to the resting area. Unlike other arenas in the game, the battles actually follow a specific order.

Beating Helper to Hero with all helpers places a ribbon on the mode selection and bottom screen of the Helper to Hero title screen, and unlocks movie 00, which consists of cutscenes from the original Super Star. Although beating the mode with all helpers unlocks the final cutscene in the game, the player only needs to beat the arena with one of the helpers to get a 100% completion of the game.

The playable Helpers include: Knuckle Joe, Parasol Waddle Dee, Chilly, Blade Knight, Simirror, Sir Kibble, Plasma Wisp, Waddle Doo, Poppy Bros. Jr. Gim, Birdon, Biospark, Bonkers, Burning Leo, Capsule J2, Bugzzy, TAC, Wheelie, Rocky, and Sword Knight.

Helper to Hero is unlocked after getting past the 13 boss point in The Arena.
