Go on a friend adventure! Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! is now unlocked!
— Guest Star unlocked • Kirby Star Allies

Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! (sometimes shortened as Guest Star ????[1][2]) is a sub-game in Kirby Star Allies. This sub-game acts as the Extra Mode, like Dededetour or Meta Knightmare Returns, but the player is a friend, similarly to Helper to Hero.

Gameplay[]

In this mode, the player plays as one of the game's friends and tries to traverse through the five worlds of the game as quickly as possible. The levels are almost identical to those from the story mode; however, some aspects vary:

Instead of rare Picture Pieces, players may collect Power-Up Hearts to increase their attack, speed, and health stats. Starting stats, especially health, are lower than base stats in Story Mode, so earning Power-Up Hearts is important for a successful attempt. In this sub-game, all point stars are heart-shaped rather than star-shaped, as they usually are.

Pressing a Big Switch causes collectibles to spawn, some of which may spawn a Dream Rod (one in Donut Dome for every friend; a second one in Friendly Field if the player uses Sir Kibble, Broom Hatter, or Birdon; and a third one on Planet Earthfall if the player uses a friend capable of doing a Friend Throw, such as Knuckle Joe and Gooey), allowing one to summon a Dream Friend. One must complete this mode as one of the standard friends (e.g. Blade Knight, Burning Leo) in order to unlock the ability to play this mode as a Dream Friend instead.

There are five levels, and at the end and midpoint of each level, the player can use a checkpoint to save and return to the title screen of this mode; these checkpoints also fully restore the health of each player. As in story mode, King Dedede and Meta Knight can be made Friends by throwing a Friend Heart at them after their defeat.

If amiibo is used at all during the playthrough, an amiibo insignia will appear next to the player's clear time. Similarily, the game will show if the playthrough was done with two players or more by showing the player number symbols next to the time for each level (P1, P2, P3 and P4).

Playable Characters[]

The player can choose among 37 characters (ten of which are Dream Friends added in three separate post-launch updates).

Friends[]

Dream Friends[]

Changes with Dream Friends[]

After Update 2.0.0 and 3.0.0, changes were made to the Guest Star mode that mainly relate to the Wave 1 and 2 Dream Friends:

  • When reaching the final boss rush (consisting of Zan Partizanne, Hyness, and Morpho Knight) while playing as certain Dream Friends, the arena will be slightly different than the one used in the main story and post-story content. In The Ultimate Choice, this only occurs during Morpho Knight's fight in Soul Melter. Despite these changes, the gameplay of the boss rush itself remains the same.
    • Divine Terminus Sunset

      The updated arena in Wave 1.

      When playing as the Wave 1 Dream Friends in version 2.0.0, the dark, interstellar background is replaced with a cloudy sky at what appears to be sunset. The background architecture of The Divine Terminus has been flipped upside down, and pieces of it can be seen falling throughout the boss rush. The flowers, vines, and crystalline protrusions in the background have grown, and the buds of the flowers glow bright blue. A pool in the center of the arena resembles Hyper Zone, glowing with a light-blue aura.
    • Divine Terminus Wave 2

      The updated arena in Wave 2.

      When playing as the Wave 1 or Wave 2 Dream Friends in version 3.0.0, the arena is further altered. The upside-down Divine Terminus continues to deteriorate, and the boss arena itself has also begun to crumble. The flowers have grown even larger and now glow bright purple. Purplish vines hang above the arena, and the previously red crystalline protrusions have grown and now glow purple. The pool in the center is larger and now resembles the core of Dark Star, where was fought.
    • W3 Guest Star Arena

      The updated arena in Wave 3.

      When playing as the Wave 1, Wave 2, or Wave 3 Dream Friends in version 4.0.0, the arena is nearly unrecognizable. The Divine Terminus has seemingly collapsed at this point, with debris floating throughout the background along with crystal chunks. There is a strange black growth which infests the arena, holding some pieces of the arena together (like the platform where Hyness stands). The pool in the center now resembles Another Dimension. It should be mentioned that defeating Hyness in this arena will cause him to sink into the pool, which is likely in reference to the events that occur in Heroes in Another Dimension. This is also the default arena for Morpho Knight EX in Soul Melter EX, regardless of who Player 1 is.
    • The music in Morpho Knight's boss fight also changes under these conditions. When playing as Rick & Kine & Coo, the music is replaced by a remix of Dark Matter's boss theme and Cloudy Park. When playing as Marx, the music is an orchestral version of Marx's boss theme. When playing as Gooey, a remix of Hyper Zone's first theme plays. When playing as Adeleine and Ribbon, a mix of 0²'s theme, Miracle Matter's theme, and Ripple Star's stage select screen theme plays. When playing as Dark Meta Knight, a mix of the boss theme from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror and Dark Mind's theme plays. When playing as Daroach, a remix of the Squeaks' theme plays. When playing as Magolor, Supreme Ruler's Coronation - OVERLORD, a medley of C-R-O-W-N-E-D, Dangerous Dinner, Fly, Kirby!, Limitless Power, Road to Victory, and Sky Tower plays. When playing as Taranza, a medley of Sullied Grace, Fatal Blooms in Moonlight, and The World to Win plays. When playing as Susie, a medley of Vagrant Counting Song of Retrospection and VS. Star Dream plays. As of version 4.0.0, fighting it as Bandana Waddle Dee, King Dedede or Meta Knight will replace the music with a remixed version of Nightmare's theme.
    • When playing as The Three Mage-Sisters, the fights with Zan Partizanne and Hyness are skipped, and they immediately fight Morpho Knight EX. Morpho Knight's theme when playing as them is The Three Mage-Sisters' second phase theme from Heroes in Another Dimension. The only way for the sisters to fight regular Morpho Knight and have this theme play is in Soul Melter.
  • When playing as the Dream Friends added in post-launch updates, new areas appear at the beginning of Level 1, mid-way through Level 2, the beginning of and mid-way through Level 3, the beginning of and mid-way through Level 4, and the end of Level 5. The new areas in Levels 1, 3, and 5 reference other games in the series, and are different for each Dream Friend:
KSA Marx Name

Marx's name is spelled with blocks.

  • When playing as the Wave 3 Dream Friends, new areas appear at the beginning of Level 1, the beginning of Level 3, and the end of Level 5.
  • Before version 3.0.0, most characters had to go through the initial area of Extra Planet δ after Stage 5's first checkpoint. However, after the update, only the additional Dream Friends play through that area.
  • There are rooms resembling HAL Rooms, typically near the end of Guest Star, that contain blocks which spell out the names of Dream Friends added post-launch. Rick & Kine & Coo's room plays the title screen theme from Kirby's Dream Land 2, Marx's room plays the intro cutscene theme of Milky Way Wishes, and Gooey's room plays the Ripple Field stage select theme from Kirby's Dream Land 3.
  • At the end of every Dream Friend's curtain call, a unique picture will appear in the right-hand corner, showcasing a screenshot of them from the game they first prominently appeared in.

Trivia[]

  • In Level 5, the player's character falls through several rooms containing Room Guarders before moving right to a room with another Room Guarder. The Room Guarder here is based on the player's character. For example, Blade Knight must fight several Blade Knights and Chef Kawasaki must fight Twin Kawasaki.
  • When the player chooses a character, the name of the mode changes. The "????" is replaced with the name of the chosen character and "Star Allies Go!" is replaced with a unique phrase for each character.
GuestStar-Kirby-Desc

Kirby's Pause Screen description

  • Before the 3.0.0 update, through a glitch, it is possible to play as Kirby in this mode. To do this, one must have the Nintendo Switch in Handheld or Tabletop mode, and then tap between New Game and Best Times. If the right place is tapped, the mode will start as Kirby. However, Kirby does not have any flavor text (the text is in Japanese that means “No Data Set”).
GuestStarKirby

Guest Star Kirby on Play Nintendo

  • The credits theme for beating Guest Star ???? mode is a remix of the credit themes from Kirby's Dream Land, Kirby's Adventure, and Kirby Super Star.
  • Gim's special quote implies that he was unaware that the events of Kirby: Planet Robobot have already been resolved.
  • Prior to the 2.0.0 update, King Dedede, Meta Knight and Bandana Waddle Dee did not have their own unique intro menus and instead shared the standard intro menu that all the other friends shared.
  • In the 3.0.0 Update, Guest Star now allows the player to have multiple save files for each friend, and if the player has played the mode before the update, they can continue by creating a save file through the Best Times records. In the update, stages for the regular Friends have been slightly adjusted as well.
KSA Jambastion Mages Error

"Framberge"

  • In the 4.0.0 update, The Three Mage-Sisters' room features the trio's names like other Dream Friends. Unique to this is the fact that each name has some differently colored blocks that create the secret message "FRIENDS." However, to do this it uses the lettering "Framberge," presumably combining her English name "Flamberge" with her Japanese name, "Fran-Rouge." The fact that the names appear this way when playing in Japanese as well supports the idea that this misspelling is intentional.
