'''''Kirby Star Allies''''' is a [[Kirby (series)|main-series ''Kirby'' game]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]] released 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), South Korea, and a number of Southeast Asian regions. 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". 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. While ''Kirby Star Allies'' received mixed impressions from reviewers, it 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. 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.

Daroach is a mouse-like caped thief and magician who serves as the mysterious leader of the Squeaks and a recurring character in the Kirby series. He first appears as the secondary antagonist of Kirby: Squeak Squad, where he earns Kirby's ire by stealing a chest which Kirby believes to contain his missing Strawberry Shortcake. After Kirby defeats Dark Nebula, who was actually sealed in the chest, the misunderstanding is cleared up and the two make amends. Daroach would later appear as an ally in Kirby Mass Attack, where he helps the Kirbys by giving them hints to find the Medals, and would appear again as a playable Dream Friend in Kirby Star Allies.
