'''''Kirby Star Allies''''' is the twelfth [[Kirby (series)|main-series ''Kirby'' game]] released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] in 2018, making it the first main-series release on a home console since ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' in 2011. It is a side-scrolling platformer game with three-dimensional visuals that succeeds the [[Nintendo 3DS]] titles of ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' in general style, though it takes on a set of features and attributes more reminiscent of titles like ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. Designed as a "culmination" title of the whole series, the game is largely designed around celebrating it, including several references to past titles in multiple forms, and was released as part of [[Kirby Anniversary|the series' 25th anniversary celebration]]. In place of a special power-up or vehicle specifically for [[Kirby]], ''Kirby Star Allies'' features extensive [[multiplayer]] co-op, allowing Kirby to recruit allies from [[Helper|various on-stage enemies]] or summon [[Dream Friend|special partners]] from the [[Dream Palace]]s. With the aid of these partners, Kirby can then perform [[Friend Ability|combination moves]], including some special transformations that can only be done with a full party of four.

''Kirby Star Allies'' was initially announced at E3 2017, known then as '''''Kirby for Nintendo Switch'''''. It subsequently released on March 16, 2018 in nearly all regions, seeing later releases in Hong Kong (for the digital version only),{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby Star Allies|<ref name="release-hk"/>}} South Korea,{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby Star Allies|<ref name="release-kr"/>}} and a number of Southeast Asian regions.{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby Star Allies|<ref name="release-ph"/>}}{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby Star Allies|<ref name="release-th"/>}}{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby Star Allies|<ref name="release-my"/>}} Unlike past mainline games in the series, ''Kirby Star Allies'' received three free updates over the course of the next several months; this was done to keep interest in the game, as well as to "keep long-time fans happy".{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby Star Allies|<ref>[https://kotaku.com/kirby-star-allies-developers-explain-how-they-improved-1833813511 Kotaku interview about the updates of ''Kirby Star Allies'']</ref>}} The added content mostly came in the form of additional Dream Friends and an [[Heroes in Another Dimension|Extra Mode]] that involved them heavily, along with extra bosses and bug fixes. ''Kirby Star Allies'' was a commercial success, and is the third best selling game in the series, with 4.38 million copies sold worldwide as of December 2022.{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby Star Allies|<ref>[https://www.perfectly-nintendo.com/cesa-white-book-2023-additional-shipment-data-for-nintendo-and-third-party-games-nintendo-switch-nintendo-3ds/ CESA White Book 2023: additional shipment data for Nintendo and third-party games (Nintendo Switch, Nintendo 3DS)]</ref>}} Moreover, it, alongside the following main-series game, ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', are considered a big, connected project that led HAL Laboratory to finally create a mainline 3D ''Kirby'' game.{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby Star Allies|<ref>[https://gigi9714.wordpress.com/2022/07/31/translation-of-the-kirby-and-the-forgotten-land-interview-from-the-june-2022-edition-of-nintendo-dream/ Translation of the ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' interview from Nintendo Dream's June 2022 edition]</ref>}}

==Story==
[[File:KSA story mode opening scene 05.jpg|thumb|250px|A botched ritual on a far away space station rains trouble across the universe and calls Kirby to adventure once more.]]
Far away, on a distant terminus in outer space, a [[Hyness|strange robed figure]] approaches a giant black crystal heart encased in a glass ball and punctured by [[Spear of the heart|four magical spears]]. The wizard-like being then raises an incantation to remove the spears and shell surrounding the heart, which causes the heart to shatter, shooting [[Jamba Heart|pieces of it]] all over the galaxy. Many of these pieces fly all the way to [[Popstar]], where they begin raining down on the normally peaceful planet. [[Meta Knight]] and [[King Dedede]] separately encounter the hearts as they land, and Dedede, in particular, becomes entranced by them. Meanwhile, [[Kirby]] is sleeping beside a hollow hillside, when a separate heart-shaped ray hits his head. This causes him to stir, only to discover that Dedede's [[Waddle Dee]]s are running toward [[Castle Dedede]] with as much food as they can carry, leaving Kirby to presume that Dedede is stealing all the food from [[Dream Land]] again. [[Kirby]] rushes off toward the castle to put a stop to this. Along the way, Kirby discovers a strange new power within himself that allows him to charm enemies and make them into his friends. With the help of his new allies, Kirby battles his way through [[Whispy Woods]], who drops one of the mysterious hearts upon defeat. Kirby then goes towards Dedede's castle and confronts the king, who, up to that point, was busy gorging himself on rotten fruit. Dedede immediately attacks, transforming into an overly muscular version of himself in the process. Despite this, Kirby manages to beat him, causing another one of the dark hearts to pop out of the King as he reverts to normal. The heart then flies away on its own, prompting Kirby to give chase.

[[File:KSA Longview Corridor 07.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Kirby and his allies run into [[Francisca]], the first of [[The Three Mage-Sisters]] in the [[Fortress of Shadows - Jambastion|Jambastion]].]]
Kirby runs all over Popstar in pursuit of the hearts, ultimately bumping into Meta Knight - who is also possessed - who forces a fight. After defeating the masked swordsman and freeing him of his possession, a [[Fortress of Shadows - Jambastion|giant alien fortress]] embeds itself into Popstar. Kirby and his allies board the hostile base, battling the gatekeepers [[Pon & Con]] and making their way to the top. Along the way, they encounter the Three Mage-Sisters; Francisca, [[Flamberge]], and the head general [[Zan Partizanne]]. As Kirby fights them, they make it known that they are in pursuit of the hearts which fell onto Popstar, intent on using them to revive their dark god. When Kirby defeats them, Zan Partizanne initiates the fortress's self destruct sequence, in hopes that Kirby will be trapped in the rubble. Instead, Kirby and his allies escape and fly off into outer space. They visit several alien worlds in pursuit of the hearts. In the process, they are forced to fight the Mage-Sisters again, along with other formidable opponents. Eventually, Kirby and his allies make it to the home base of the Mage-Sisters, a space station called [[Jambandra]]. They eventually reach the [[The Divine Terminus|terminus]] where the same wizard from the intro is attempting to repair the crystal heart by recombining the pieces. Zan Partizanne tries to stop Kirby from interfering but is defeated.

[[File:KSA The Divine Terminus 10.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Kirby and his allies barge into [[The Divine Terminus]] at [[Jambandra]] to attempt to interrupt a sinister ritual.]]
Upon the defeat of his finest general, the wizard (whose name is revealed as [[Hyness]]) turns and faces Kirby himself. After kicking his own general out of the way, Hyness proceeds to deliver a crazed rant at Kirby, blaming his kind for the woes that fell upon him, and reasserting his desire to awaken his dark god. He battles Kirby, but shortly into the fight, his hood gets knocked off, revealing his true face. From there, he uses the inanimate bodies of the Three Mage-Sisters as projectiles to fight Kirby with, his mad power proving difficult to overcome. Kirby ultimately beats Hyness, but this only forces the cornered officiant to resort to drastic measures. He sacrifices the Mage-Sisters, and then himself by plunging all of them into the heart, mending it completely and causing it to awaken.

[[File:KSA story mode ending scene 07.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Kirby and his allies return home after vanquishing yet another threat to the universe.]]
The dark god forms into a terrible masked giant (named [[Void Termina]]), but Kirby uses a special power with his allies in the form of the [[Star Allies Sparkler]] to battle it with. The fight is long and hard, but in the process, Kirby and his allies make their way into Void Termina's body and free Hyness and the Mage-Sisters from its grasp. After sustaining massive damage, Void Termina assumes its true form, and the allies battle it one more time. Kirby finishes it off by engaging in a prolonged laser tug-o-war with the dark god, and finishes by summoning all of his allies to attack the beast at once, destroying it utterly. Kirby and his allies escape as Void Termina's death causes the world they were fighting on to shatter. Kirby is knocked out by the debris but wakes up in outer space along with the allies he had just fought with. Together, they ride a [[Warp Star]] back to Popstar, having vanquished yet another great evil from the universe.

|-
!Character
!Role
|-
!colspan=2|''Protagonists''
|-
|{{center|[[File:KSA Kirby alt artwork.png|125px]]<br>'''[[Kirby]]'''}}
|As usual, Kirby takes on the role of main protagonist and playable character in the [[Story Mode]], in addition to other peripheral modes. He sets off on a journey after the [[Jamba Heart]] fragments rain down across the universe and disturb the peace to find their source and put a stop to the chaos. Along the way, Kirby utilizes a new power bestowed upon him that allows him to turn his enemies into [[Helper|allies]].
|-
|{{center|[[File:KSA King Dedede Artwork.png|150px]]<br>'''[[King Dedede]]'''}}
|When the Jamba Hearts rain down onto [[Popstar]], King Dedede is among the first affected by their dark magic, which causes him to once again steal as much food from [[Dream Land]] as possible to gorge on it himself. Kirby and his allies have to barge into [[Castle Dedede]] and defeat the gluttonous king, who uses the power of the dark heart to turn beefy during his fight. Once defeated, King Dedede is freed from the heart's influence and joins Kirby on his quest.
|-
|{{center|[[File:KSA Meta Knight Artwork.png|200px]]<br>'''[[Meta Knight]]'''}}
|Along with King Dedede, Meta Knight is affected by the falling hearts, giving in to his older tendencies as Kirby's opponent rather than his ally. He meets Kirby's team at the [[Sacred Square]] on Popstar and challenges them to a duel, using the power of the dark heart to split into as few as two to as many as four copies of himself during the battle. Like Dedede, Meta Knight is freed from the heart's influence and joins Kirby after his defeat.
|-
|{{center|[[File:PoppyBroHeart.png|150px]]<br>'''[[Helper|Kirby's allies]]''' and '''[[Dream Friend]]s'''}}
|In this title, Kirby gains the ability to turn what would normally be his enemies into his most stalwart allies using [[Make Friend|Friend Hearts]]. He can also call upon help from more prominent characters from his earlier adventures by visiting [[Dream Palace]]s. In addition to their role in the story mode, each of these additional characters gets their own chance to be the main star in [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]]
|-
!colspan=2|''Villains''
|-
|{{center|[[File:Three Generals.png|150px]]<br>'''[[The Three Mage-Sisters]]'''}}
|These three generals of magic hail from [[Jambandra]] and scour the universe in search of the lost fragments of the Jamba Heart. They are devoutly loyal to [[Hyness]] and frequently clash with Kirby and his team after arriving with one of their [[Fortress of Shadows - Jambastion|Jambastions]] at Popstar. 
|-
|{{center|[[File:KSA Hyness veiled artwork.jpg|100px]]<br>'''[[Hyness]]'''}}
|A mad wizard who was banished along with the Jamba Heart to Jambandra, and who plotted a scheme to free the [[Void Termina|great evil]] sealed within the heart. His incantation broke the seal on the heart, but it also unintentionally caused the heart to shatter into fragments and scatter across the universe. As Kirby and his team make their way to [[The Divine Terminus]], Hyness is unable to completely restore the heart, so after being bested by the Star Allies, he sacrifices himself and The Three Mage-Sisters to complete the heart and unleash [[Void Termina]] onto the universe.
|-
|{{center|[[File:KSA Void Termina fight 03.jpg|200px]]<br>'''[[Void Termina]]'''}}
|A primordial entity of chaos and destruction with similarities to [[Dark Matter]] that was sealed away long ago by the [[List of rumors of ancient civilizations in the Kirby series|ancients]]. Hyness and his subordinates revere Void Termina as their god and sacrifice themselves to bring him back. Kirby and his allies must then use the [[Star Allies Sparkler]] to fight and deal the final blow in order to defeat him in a great and lengthy struggle.

==Gameplay==
[[File:KSA Green Gardens 10.jpg|thumb|250px|''Kirby Star Allies'' is centered around the mechanic of recruiting certain enemies from stages to become Kirby's friends, who then help him overcome obstacles.]]
''Kirby Star Allies'' is an action platformer, styled after previous games in the main series, greatly resembling ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' in its art style, but in HD. The central premise of the game revolves around [[Kirby]]'s ability to toss hearts at enemies to [[Make Friend|befriend]] them and turn into allies in the vein of the [[Helper]]s from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. Collecting certain friends will allow Kirby to solve various puzzles, and perform combo attacks called [[Friend Ability|Friend Abilities]]. These attacks include combining [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]], as well as performing special moves with friends. Once Friends are acquired, they can either be controlled by the CPU or controlled by additional players. In the stages, Kirby and his friends can collect [[Picture Piece]]s, which serve as optional collectible items that are used to complete [[Celebration Picture]]s.

The main Story Mode has Kirby and his friends traversing four main areas (with a fifth being a final boss level) and visiting stages in each area, unlocking them by clearing them in succession. Optional extra stages can also be unlocked by finding and pressing [[Big Switch]]es in certain stages. Some of these switches also unlock the [[Dream Palace]]s at each level, where Kirby can recruit the special [[Dream Friend]]s if he so wishes.

===Control===
There are two control types to choose from in the Control Options. Type A is the default one, and Type B resembles the control in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''.

If using a single Joy-Con controller, it must be held horizontally: the Control Stick moves the player character, the four directional buttons (→/↓/↑/←) become A/B/X/Y respectively, and SL and SR function as L/R/ZL/ZR (L/R does nothing if using a single Joy-Con).

==Friend Abilities==
In addition to standard Copy Abilities, Kirby and his [[Helper|Friend]]s can combine their powers together to create distinct moves and abilities. This can be done in a number of different ways, as illustrated in the sections below.

There are several types of Friend Abilities on offer. They fall into one of the three following categories:
===Power Effects===
{{ImCap
|image=File:Sizzle Sword Art.png
|align=right
|size=150px
|caption={{center|Burning Leo giving Kirby the Sizzle Sword Power Effect}}
}}
{{main|Power Effect}}
Elemental enhancements can be applied to neutral-type Copy Abilities (typically those that resemble weapons). To do this, the weapon holder must raise their weapon, then the element wielder must use an elemental attack on the former ally to imbue it. There are five power effects in total, as follows:
*Blizzard - provided by ice-based attacks
*Bluster - provided by wind-based attacks
*Sizzle - provided by fire-based attacks
*Splash - provided by water-based attacks
*Zap - provided by electric-based attacks
In addition, weapons which have already been enchanted can be used in turn to enchant other weapons. Certain special attacks (like [[Gooey]]'s tongue attacks) can also be used to add elemental effects.

===Friend attacks===
In addition to the above, there are special one-time moves which the Star Allies can perform by combining specific abilities together, or by simply having the allies involved. These abilities are as follows:

==Friends==
Standard friends can be recruited by tossing [[Make Friend|Friend Heart]]s at them in the stages where they appear. There are also special friends (referred to as [[Dream Friend]]s) who can be obtained by visiting a [[Dream Palace]], or using a Dream Rod item. Dream Friends are special characters with their own unique move-sets. Friends are able to bear different [[Color|color schemes]] depending on their player number, being yellow for player 2, blue for player 3 or green for player 4. In addition, the Friends wear Kirby-style hats appropriate to their ability once they've been recruited.

==Mid-Bosses==
[[File:KSA Vividria Artwork.png|thumb|right|150px|Artwork of Vividria.]]
Unlike many previous games, ''Kirby Star Allies'' features relatively few distinct [[Mid-Boss]]es, at only five (six if [[Big Bouncy]] is included). Each of these five Mid-Bosses are encountered numerous times throughout the stages and in [[The Ultimate Choice]], with each having a normal form and a more powerful variant with a different color palette, additional attacks, and greater HP. Both color palettes can be seen in both [[Extra Mode|extra]] and main modes unlike in previous games. These Mid-Bosses can also be recruited as allies after they have been defeated (with the exception of [[Mr. Frosty]], who turns into [[Chilly]] instead), in addition to being inhaled and swallowed to get their respective Copy Abilities.

The following table lists every Mid-Boss in ''Kirby Star Allies'':

|[[Big Bouncy]]
|{{center|[[File:KSA Big Bouncy.jpg|200px]]}}
|None
|This obscure enemy appears only twice in the game, and even then, only outside of Story Mode. It resembles the giant Bouncy from ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' in how it operates, not posing a direct threat to the star allies, bouncing in place and requiring many hits to defeat, while smaller Bouncies continuously spawn while the big one is still alive. Big Bouncy cannot be made into an ally and does not provide any abilities when defeated.
|-
|[[Bonkers]]
|{{center|[[File:KSA Bonkers.jpg|150px]]<br>[[File:KSA Bonkers EX.jpg|150px]]}}
|[[Hammer]]

|-
|[[Chef Kawasaki]]
|{{center|[[File:KSA Chef Kawasaki.jpg|150px]]<br>[[File:KSA Chef Kawasaki EX.jpg|150px]]}}
|[[Cook]]
|This infamous chef returns for the first time in 3D. His attacks include throwing dishes, spinning through the air, and grabbing Kirby with his ladle to cook him up. He can be recruited as an ally once defeated.
|-
|[[Mr. Frosty]]
|{{center|[[File:KSA Mr Frosty.jpg|150px]]<br>[[File:KSA Mr Frosty EX.jpg|150px]]}}
|[[Ice]]
|The walrus in overalls strikes again, this time focusing more heavily on his charging attacks and acrobatics. Unlike the others, he cannot be made into an ally, being replaced by [[Chilly]] if he is hit by a [[Make Friend|Friend Heart]] once downed.
|-
|[[Vividria]]
|{{center|[[File:KSA Vividria.jpg|150px]]<br>[[File:KSA Vividria EX.jpg|150px]]}}
|[[Artist]]
|The only newcomer of the bunch, this paintbrush-haired lass can float around the battlefield, and attacks by swiping with her hair, spraying paint around, and painting things to attack Kirby with. She can be made into an ally once defeated.

==Bosses==
[[File:Three Generals.png|thumb|right|250px|Artwork of The Three Mage-Sisters.]]
''Kirby Star Allies'' features 26 distinct bosses (distinct being defined as a boss which has a splash card, not counting [[Galacta Knight]]), more than any other ''Kirby'' game up to this point. These bosses can be faced in the middle of levels, as opposed to only at the end, which hearkens back to the structure of levels in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. Despite the official number of bosses being so high, most bosses are derived from each-other in some fashion, and can be considered to be tougher forms of previous bosses.

The following table lists every distinct boss in ''Kirby Star Allies'' in the intended order of encounter:

==amiibo==
''Kirby Star Allies'' is compatible with [[amiibo]]. Scanning in a ''Kirby'' series amiibo (or a [[Qbby]] amiibo) while playing in the main mode will grant Kirby with a number of items, including [[Food]] and some [[Picture Piece]]s. Scanning in any other amiibo figurine will also grant items, but not as many.

==Update history==
{{main|Kirby Star Allies/Update History}}
''Kirby Star Allies'' was updated from Version 1.0.0 to 4.0.0 during the first year of the game's release, bringing with it minor adjustments for a better gameplay experience, in addition to major additions or bug-fixes. See the main article for the changes that were introduced with each update.

==Legacy==
As a culmination of 2D ''Kirby'', ''Kirby Star Allies'' paid homage to almost every major ''Kirby'' game that came before it. However, it still established many new concepts and ideas that would carry over to future games, mostly to ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', but not only it:

*The development of ''Kirby Star Allies'' was considered as a whole the last main step before the realization of a full 3D mainline ''Kirby'' game, ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''. In particular, Void Termina's battle would become a basis for [[Gorimondo]]'s battle in that game.
*The usage of titles for bosses, as well as splash screens, would carry over to ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'' and ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''.
*Several songs of this game were used as inspirations for songs in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'', notably "Macho of Dedede" to "Roar of Dedede", "My Friend and the Sound of Those Crossing Blades" to "Sword of the Surviving Guardian", and "[[Wind Blowing on Earthfall]]" to "[[Northeast Frost Street (theme)|Northeast Frost Street]]".
*Fully 3D explorable level hubs, in particular the ones from World of Miracles - Planet Popstar and Far-Flung Starlight Heroes, would become the basis of all level hubs in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'', as well as [[Merry Magoland]] in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''.
*Giving unique names to every individual stage would carry over to ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''.
*[[Power-Up Item]]s from ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' appear to be heavily based on Power-Up Hearts, as both have three different types (health, attack and speed) and use the same icons.
*The concept of a game mode that happens after the main story of the game, and features different gameplay (Heroes in Another Dimension), would carry over to ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' in the form of [[Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams]], and to ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' in the form of [[Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler]].
*The concept of an alien language (of the people of Jambastion/Jambandra) would be explored even further in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'', in the language of the [[new world]] people. In addition, the two languages have some words with similar spellings or origins.
*The various 3D models of Dream Friends would be reused in various ways in later games, such as cameos in ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]'', as well as Dress-Up Masks in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''.
*The concept of showing tips while the game loads would carry over to ''Super Kirby Clash'' and ''Kirby Fighters 2'', as well to ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'' (albeit for the latter, unrelated to the game loading).
*The concept of a secret final boss related to chaos (Void Soul) would be explored even further in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'', with [[Chaos Elfilis]].

==Nintendo eShop description==
<big>'''''Classic Kirby enemies are his new best friends!'''''</big>

''When a new evil threatens Planet Popstar, Kirby will need a little help from his...enemies?! By making friends out of foes, up to three players can drop in or out of the adventure at any time. With new and expanded copy abilities, classic Kirby action is deeper than ever: combine abilities with elements such as ice or fire to create new friend abilities!''

''With tons bosses{{sic}} and enemies standing in your way, Kirby has a new bag of tricks. Take baddies out by taking advantage of their elemental weaknesses.''

==Trivia==
*In the game files, the codename for ''Kirby Star Allies'' is "eclair".
**In the opening cutscene for Story Mode, King Dedede is given a plate of eclairs and tea by his Waddle Dees.
**The Extra Stage in [[World of Peace - Dream Land|Dream Land]] is called [[Extra Eclair]]. 
**[[Zan Partizanne]]'s laser beam attack is called Electro Eclair.
*This is the first game in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] to be officially localized into both Traditional and Simplified Chinese.
*The Japanese subtitle for the game, スターアライズ, can be transliterated as either ''star allies'' or ''star arise''.
**The ''Kirby Star Allies'' Japanese official website mistakenly had the domain https://kirby.nintendo.jp/stararise/ for a short time. Though the link was corrected to the proper name, both links are now defunct, as the site was later moved to Nintendo's domain under its Switch product code.
**The sound effects track for when [[Void]] is defeated is titled "STAR ARISE" on ''[[Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack]]''.
*The main Japanese website of ''Kirby Star Allies'' was parodied by [[Waddle Dee 25th Anniversary]] in 2018 and [[Square Kirby]] in 2019 as part of official April Fools' Day pranks.
