The '''Animal Friends''' are a group of | The '''Animal Friends''' are a group of characters who serve as [[Kirby]]'s allies. They made their debut in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]''. More specifically, the term refers to the rideable animal companions which Kirby can mount and combine his [[Copy Ability|powers]] with. There are six of them in total, and are as follows: | ||
*'''[[ChuChu]]''' the octopus. | |||
*'''[[Coo]]''' the owl. | |||
*'''[[Kine]]''' the fish. | |||
*'''[[Nago]]''' the cat. | |||
*'''[[Pitch]]''' the bird. | |||
*'''[[Rick]]''' the hamster. | |||
Most of the animal friends are somewhat larger than Kirby, and all of them provide their own unique way of moving once they are paired up with him. Kirby can only travel with one Animal Friend at a time, and will have to switch out between them based on what task needs solving. | |||

Rick, Kine, and Coo first appeared in this title. They each have their distinct advantages and disadvantages when paired up with, and will use their own special version of whichever Copy Ability Kirby has equipped. Using their power is necessary to collect some of the [[Rainbow Drop]]s. To find them, Kirby will have to free them from a bag by defeating the [[Mid-Boss]] on guard. If that animal friend is already freed, [[Gooey]] or [[Blob]] will appear instead. | |||

In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', Rick, Kine | In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', Rick, Kine and Coo appear as [[Dream Friend]]s, though unlike the others, they are rolled into a single character. They switch out based on which attacks are being used, playing in tag-team style. Their abilities are based off of fusion Copy Abilities from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', and are capable of providing the [[Bluster]], [[Sizzle]], and [[Splash]] elements to other abilities. In addition, while using 'Stone Rick', Rick can participate in [[Curling]], [[Geokinesis]], and [[Rock Painter]]. Rick also retains his ability to stomp enemies and jump off of them. Kine has the distinction of being the fastest swimmer of all the available characters. While [[Guard]]ing, Rick hides in a bag which is similar to the ones they were held in from ''Dream Land 2''. | ||
Rick | For some reason, Rick & Kine & Coo cannot use the [[Spark]] or [[Needle]] ability. | ||
When played in [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]], several unique rooms appear in each level, which utilize Rick & Kine & Coo's abilities. | |||

== | ===Other Titles=== | ||
The animal friends often make cameos in other titles in the series. Most of the time, this entails appearing in [[Sub-Game]]s or having their likenesses made into collectable items. The most prominent cameo comes from ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' when Kirby uses the [[Stone-Cutter]] [[Power Combo]]. Doing so transforms Kirby into a stone replica of one of his animal friends, giving him a different movement option (or none at all) with each one. | |||
== | ==Anime== | ||
Rick, Kine, and Coo appear as distinct characters in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', with some episodes featuring them prominently. They appear to have no direct connection to Kirby in the show, and are merely intelligent creatures living in [[Dream Land]]. | |||
