The Three Mage-Sisters are a trio of antagonists who serve Hyness in Kirby Star Allies.

The members of the three mages include:

Francisca - Frozen General;
Flamberge - Blazing General;
Zan Partizanne - Lightning General, and the leader of the trio.

Kirby Star Allies

Story Mode

Main article: Kirby Star Allies#Story

In the opening of Kirby Star Allies Story Mode, a mysterious hooded man, Hyness, failed to revive the Dark Lord in The Divine Terminus, located in their headquarter Jambandra. He ordered his three mages to recycle dark hearts, the pieces of the Jamba Heart splattered all over the universe. The mages arrive in Planet Popstar along with their mobile fortress Jambastion, the third level where Kirby & Friends would fight them for the first time:

Upon Zan Partizanne's first defeat, she, the leader of the trio, destroys the Jambastion fortress but Kirby & co. manage to escape. The mages then go to other stars in the universe to recycle the rest dark hearts.

The three mages would be fought again across the universe in Far-Flung Starlight Heroes, the fourth level:

Francisca - Blizzno Moon;
Flamberge - Sizzlai Moon;
Zan Partizanne - The Divine Terminus.

Template:Spoiler Upon Zan Partizanne's second defeat, the hooded Hyness appears and fights Kirby & co. When Hyness is seemingly defeated (with very little health bar left), however, he becomes unhooded and reveals his true face. Then, he summons the three mages and turns them into rag dolls as his weapons and shields, continuing the boss battle.

Upon the final defeat of unhooded Hyness, he realizes they still don't have enough dark hearts to revive Void Termina, so he forces the mages to join himself and become the last sacrifices to their dark lord. It works and Kirby & co. have to defeat the revived Void Termina in the final battle.

When Kirby & co. enters the body of Void Termina after defeating his first phase, the Demon God Form, Hyness and the three mages are found trapped inside his core. Kirby & co. defeats his first core and saves the four sacrifices from his body. Upon Void Termina's defeat, the whereabouts of Hyness and the three mages are unknown, but they are confirmed to survive.

Heroes in Another Dimension

Main article: The Three Mage-Sisters (Boss)

In Heroes in Another Dimension, Kirby and co have to battle all three of the mages at once in a boss battle. Whether they and the three mages from Story Mode are the same characters are unknown yet.

Dream Friend

This article or section is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it's being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.
No reason has been specified.

The Three Mage-Sisters can become a playable Dream Friend to join Kirby's allies by clearing certain conditions.

When playing as the Three Mage-Sisters, the unknown reader can switch between the three characters at will with a certain command, which is different from Rick & Kine & Coo. The three mages share the same health bar, but each mage has her own moveset based on their attacks as bosses. The active mage on the field is indicated by the Blizzard/Sizzle/Zap icon beside their health bar.

Francisca attacks with her icy axe, ice-based magic and soda gun.
Flamberge attacks with her fiery sword and flamethrower.
Zan Partizanne attacks with her electric spear, thunderclouds and lightning drums.

The Three Mage-Sisters can use their exclusive Friend Ability to form a Friend Circle (albeit with only the three mages themselves) and attack the full screen, similar to Copy Abilities like Crash and Festival.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

The Three Mage-Sisters appear as a Support Spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, using their villain render illustration. Their class is Advanced (★★), and their skill is unknown yet.

Trivia

The character designs and names of the Three Mages are directly based on their weapons: francisca the axe, flamberge the sword and partisan the spear.
With the release of Kirby Star Allies, the Three Mages would become the news presenters on Kirby's official JP Twitter, similar to Susie for Kirby: Planet Robobot and the spin-offs therein.
The Japanese name of the Three Generals of Magic, 三魔官, has the same pronunciation (sanmakan) as サンマ缶 ("saury can") which has become a common nickname for the trio in the Japanese community.
When introduced as a Dream Friend on the official Twitter, the Three Mage-Sisters are given the nickname 信号機三人娘 ("traffic-light trio girls") by Magolor.
- In Japan, the traffic lights are blue, yellow and red.
- This is Magolor's payback to Zan Partizanne calling him イカサマたまご ("deceptive egg") in a previous Twitter post.
