Make Friend
Make Friend is an ability that Kirby and his friends possess in Kirby: Star Allies. It allows them to toss Friend Hearts at enemies on the field to make them into allies. This ability only works on enemies which provide Copy Abilities, and Kirby can only have up to three Friends at a time. If a fourth is claimed, the game will prompt the unknown reader to replace one of Kirby's existing friends with the new recruit.
To pull out a heart, the unknown reader must press the X button (presumably while Kirby is on the ground). From there, any enemy that can be charmed will have a small heart icon over their head when Kirby draws near. From there, to charm the enemy, Kirby must toss the heart at the enemy and hit them with it. Kirby can also cause a friend to appear if he hits a Copy Essence with a heart.
When an ally tosses a Friend Heart, that ally will transform into whichever enemy the heart was thrown at, instead of recruiting it as a new ally.
Some Mid-Bosses are also recruitable as friends. However, before they can be recruited, they must be defeated in battle. Once they are on the ground, a heart can be tossed at them.
Trivia
- When a player takes control of a Friend made using the Friend Heart, it does not cost a 1-Up, unlike bringing another Kirby onto the stage.
