When Kirby and Nago are traveling together, the pink hero assumes the shape of a [[ball]] while the cat holds him in his paws, rolling him around. Apart from being able to defeat most enemies by jumping on them, he may perform double or even triple jumps if the B button is pressed while he is falling, allowing him to make higher and longer leaps.

Nago makes a cameo appearance ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards|The Crystal Shards]]'', although he himself is never seen. Instead, by using the [[Stone-Cutter]] ability combo, Kirby may transform into a moving statue of any of his Animal Friends from ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'', including Nago. While in this form, he is very slow, but may execute double and triple jumps like Nago does in his original appearance, as well as crush most enemies he touches as with the regular [[Stone]] ability.
