'''Helpers''' (also called '''Allies''' and '''Friends''') are friendly counterparts of enemies that assist [[Kirby]] in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. They are considered a type of [[Copy Ability#Special Abilities|Special Ability]].
'''Helpers''' (also called '''Allies''' and '''Friends''') are friendly counterparts of enemies that assist [[Kirby]] in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

When Kirby possesses a [[Copy Ability]], he may create a helper, but loses the ability in the process. However, in want of a Copy Ability, Kirby can use the [[Normal Beam]] to transform the helper into an item yielding the ability that was used in its creation, allowing Kirby to regain it. If Kirby attempts to call forth a Helper when there is already one in existence, he instead tosses his ability away in item form, allowing the current Helper to transform into a new one when it touches the item. In ''Kirby Super Star'', creating a Helper is the only way for Kirby to manually remove his ability, while in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' he can also remove it by creating an [[Ability Star]], evading the creation of a Helper.

Helpers follow the player around and attack any enemies which they encounter. They are usually able to use the same attacks as Kirby can when he possesses their ability, but can use them underwater and are capable of jumping in midair or teleporting in order to keep up with him. Although usually controlled by an AI, Helpers can alternatively be controlled by a second player. They will always have one reoccurring color scheme to differentiate them from the enemy variants.

Kirby's current Helper possesses its own, separate health bar. The health bar can be refilled by having the Helper pick up [[food]] or [[Face-to-Face|touching it]] shortly after Kirby himself does so. When a Helper's health runs out, it flashes and begins to explode. During this period, touching any enemy that yields an ability transforms the Helper into a new one that possesses the respective Copy Ability, instantly restoring all its health and keeping it from exploding. Alternatively, tossing a different Copy Ability at a Helper to transform it also heals it completely.

Helpers can be stolen by a [[Tac]] just like Copy Abilities. If it does, the player's helper disappears.

''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' introduces two additional modes where Helpers feature outside the context of being summoned to help Kirby:
*[[Meta Knightmare Ultra]] gives [[Meta Knight]] the Knight Call move, which summons Blade Knight or Sword Knight, effectively providing helpers but for Meta Knight.
*[[Helper to Hero]] is a [[Boss Endurance]] mode with only helpers as playable characters. Notably this mode also includes Sword Knight, featuring a slightly modified Sword moveset.

Friends who are KO'd will lie on the ground until revived, unless they fall to a hazard or go off-screen, in which case they will be removed from the stage shortly thereafter (or instantaneously if [[Crusher|crushed]]). To revive a friend, the player can press and hold X (or the Up button when holding the Joy-Con sideways). After a few seconds, the friend gets revived by whichever character the player was using at that time with half their stamina.
