'''''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]]'' | '''''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]]''. 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. | ||

It subsequently released on March 16, 2018 in nearly all regions, seeing a later release in Hong Kong and South Korea. Due to a rushed development cycle, ''Kirby Star Allies'' had to be released without all of its planned content, with the rest being added in using free updates to the game over the course of the next several months. Most of this added content 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 generally sold well, though these sales would be eclipsed by the following main-series game: ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. | ||
