Friend Abilities

Friend Abilities are a game mechanic introduced in Kirby Star Allies. They allow Kirby to perform new moves by cooperating with his friends or they can enhance his Copy Abilities.

Elemental Weapons

Elemental weapons consist of an ability that acts as a base and a second ability that adds an element to that base. Upon successfully imbuing an element to a base ability, its icon will have an elemental symbol dictating the element it has.

Base Abilities

Dream Friends

Main article: Dream Friends

Dream Friends are characters that are obtained via Dream Palaces,. Some of them can also be enhanced by elemental abilities.

Team-Up Attacks

Team-up attacks allow abilities to perform powered-up moves, usually in combination with another ability; they do not place an elemental symbol next to an ability icon, as they are only extra moves, not modifying the whole ability.

Friend Action

Friend Actions occur at specific sections of the game, signified by a Friend Platform, and they require the leading player to have three friends with them.

• Friend Circle: The leading player and their friends form a donut circle by holding each other. In this form, they constantly roll forward, only able to do a long or short jump. Any enemy or weak ground blocks they hit is destroyed; the Friend Circle is invincible to everything except falling into bottomless pits.

• Friend Star: The leading player and their friends ride on a star. They can move freely in the air, and they can shoot projectiles, which can be charged, with different attributes depending on the leading friend's ability. Any enemy with an ability that is defeated leaves behind an ability item, which can be obtained to grant the leading friend that ability. Players are vulnerable to all attacks while on the Friend Star.

• Friend Bridge: The leading player and their friends hold each other in a line to form a bridge, which they can move up or down. This form is mostly used to guide Key Dees to their respective locked door.

• Friend Train: The leading player gets a train chimney on their head, while the other friends line up behind them. The train continuously runs forward, and any enemy and weak ground blocks the player hits is destroyed; the Friend Train is invincible to everything except falling into bottomless pits. The train travels up walls, across ceilings, and over the surface of water, but it cannot jump while on a wall or ceiling.
• Star Allies Sparkler: The Star Allies Sparkler is a variation of the Friend Star from a 3D perspective, and was created after combining with the Heart Needles. It is only used when fighting Void Termina. The leading friend wears a heart-shaped visor, and uses halves of the star as their wings, which have a rainbow outline and glowing feathers. Until they are switched into the leading position, the other friends sit on the star's trail. The Star Allies Sparkler allows the leading friend to either aim manually or lock on to the target, shooting chargeable projectiles with attributes based on the leading friend's ability. As with the Friend Star, the player is vulnerable to all attacks.
