Dragoon

   

The Dragoon

Dragoon is a legendary Air Machine in Kirby Air Ride. It can only be ridden in City Trial mode where a player must collect its three pieces from mostly Red Boxes scattered throughout the city. To access it in Free Run, you must get 1000 feet in High Jump, glide 1300 feet in Air Glider, AND fly through 5 of the floating rings in one City Trial match. The three pieces then merge together to create Dragoon, which replaces the Air Machine the player was riding on when he built Dragoon. It tops the Winged Star in flight and is one of the legendary stars along with Hydra.

Facts

Even though Wheelie Scooter has the best turning, Dragoon is one of the best Air Machines in the whole game (the design may be derived from Dyna Blade). It has great stats in all areas and the best flight abilities.

In Super Smash Bros.

The Dragoon in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

The Dragoon appears as an item in Super Smash Bros. Brawl where, like in Kirby Air Ride, characters are required to pick up all three pieces: the nose cone, the body and the tail. The pieces can be stolen from other players by attacking them, and it is fought for in a similar matter to the Smash Ball (because it is high priority among the CPUs). When the Machine is completed, the player can select a target and launch him/herself at it, although it is big enough to strike more than one opponent. Because of the amount of preparation required, it boasts tremendous firepower; if it strikes you, it is usually one-hit KO. The Dragoon gets a Trophy, as do all the other items. Also, in the Subspace Emissiary, Kirby uses this Air Ride Machine to plow right through the Subspace Gunship, effectively destroying it and allowing him and the rest of his companions access to Subspace.
