'''''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]]''. Designed as a "culmination" title of the whole series, the game is largely designed around celebrating it, including several references to past titles in multiple forms, and was released as part of [[Kirby Anniversary|the series' 25th anniversary celebration]]. 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.

''Kirby Star Allies'' was initially announced at E3 2017, known then as '''''Kirby for Nintendo Switch'''''. It subsequently released on March 16, 2018 in nearly all regions, seeing later releases in Hong Kong (for the digital version only),{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby Star Allies|<ref name="release-hk"/>}} South Korea,{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby Star Allies|<ref name="release-kr"/>}} and a number of Southeast Asian regions.{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby Star Allies|<ref name="release-ph"/>}}{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby Star Allies|<ref name="release-th"/>}}{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby Star Allies|<ref name="release-my"/>}} Unlike past mainline games in the series, ''Kirby Star Allies'' received three free updates over the course of the next several months; this was done to keep interest in the game, as well as to "keep long-time fans happy".{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby Star Allies|<ref>[https://kotaku.com/kirby-star-allies-developers-explain-how-they-improved-1833813511 Kotaku interview about the updates of ''Kirby Star Allies'']</ref>}} The added content mostly 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. ''Kirby Star Allies'' was a commercial success, and is the third best selling game in the series, with 4.38 million copies sold worldwide as of December 2022.{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby Star Allies|<ref>[https://www.perfectly-nintendo.com/cesa-white-book-2023-additional-shipment-data-for-nintendo-and-third-party-games-nintendo-switch-nintendo-3ds/ CESA White Book 2023: additional shipment data for Nintendo and third-party games (Nintendo Switch, Nintendo 3DS)]</ref>}} Moreover, it, alongside the following main-series game, ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', are considered a big, connected project that led HAL Laboratory to finally create a mainline 3D ''Kirby'' game.{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby Star Allies|<ref>[https://gigi9714.wordpress.com/2022/07/31/translation-of-the-kirby-and-the-forgotten-land-interview-from-the-june-2022-edition-of-nintendo-dream/ Translation of the ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' interview from Nintendo Dream's June 2022 edition]</ref>}}
''Kirby Star Allies'' was initially announced at E3 2017, known than as '''''Kirby for Nintendo Switch'''''. 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]]''.

|As usual, Kirby takes on the role of main protagonist and playable character in the [[Story Mode]], in addition to other peripheral modes. He sets off on a journey after the [[Jamba Heart]] fragments rain down across the universe and disturb the peace to find their source and put a stop to the chaos. Along the way, Kirby utilizes a new power bestowed upon him that allows him to turn his enemies into [[Helper|allies]].

|Along with King Dedede, Meta Knight is affected by the falling hearts, giving in to his older tendencies as Kirby's opponent rather than his ally. He meets Kirby's team at the [[Sacred Square]] on Popstar and challenges them to a duel, using the power of the dark heart to split into as few as two to as many as four copies of himself during the battle. Like Dedede, Meta Knight is freed from the heart's influence and joins Kirby after his defeat.

Standard friends can be recruited by tossing [[Make Friend|Friend Heart]]s at them in the stages where they appear. There are also special friends (referred to as [[Dream Friend]]s) who can be obtained by visiting a [[Dream Palace]], or using a Dream Rod item. Dream Friends are special characters with their own unique move-sets. Friends are able to bear different [[Color|color schemes]] depending on their player number, being yellow for player 2, blue for player 3 or green for player 4. In addition, the Friends wear Kirby-style hats appropriate to their ability once they've been recruited.

Unlike many previous games, ''Kirby Star Allies'' features relatively few distinct [[Mid-Boss]]es, at only five (six if [[Big Bouncy]] is included). Each of these five Mid-Bosses are encountered numerous times throughout the stages and in [[The Ultimate Choice]], with each having a normal form and a more powerful variant with a different color palette, additional attacks, and greater HP. Both color palettes can be seen in both [[Extra Mode|extra]] and main modes unlike in previous games. These Mid-Bosses can also be recruited as allies after they have been defeated (with the exception of [[Mr. Frosty]], who turns into [[Chilly]] instead), in addition to being inhaled and swallowed to get their respective Copy Abilities.

==Legacy==
As a culmination of 2D ''Kirby'', ''Kirby Star Allies'' paid homage to almost every major ''Kirby'' game that came before it. However, it still established many new concepts and ideas that would carry over to future games, mostly to ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', but not only it:
 
*The development of ''Kirby Star Allies'' was considered as a whole the last main step before the realization of a full 3D mainline ''Kirby'' game, ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''. In particular, Void Termina's battle would become a basis for [[Gorimondo]]'s battle in that game.
*The usage of titles for bosses, as well as splash screens, would carry over to ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'' and ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''.
*Several songs of this game were used as inspirations for songs in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'', notably "Macho of Dedede" to "Roar of Dedede", "My Friend and the Sound of Those Crossing Blades" to "Sword of the Surviving Guardian", and "[[Wind Blowing on Earthfall]]" to "[[Northeast Frost Street (theme)|Northeast Frost Street]]".
*Fully 3D explorable level hubs, in particular the ones from World of Miracles - Planet Popstar and Far-Flung Starlight Heroes, would become the basis of all level hubs in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'', as well as [[Merry Magoland]] in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''.
*Giving unique names to every individual stage would carry over to ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''.
*[[Power-Up Item]]s from ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' appear to be heavily based on Power-Up Hearts, as both have three different types (health, attack and speed) and use the same icons.
*The concept of a game mode that happens after the main story of the game, and features different gameplay (Heroes in Another Dimension), would carry over to ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' in the form of [[Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams]], and to ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' in the form of [[Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler]].
*The concept of an alien language (of the people of Jambastion/Jambandra) would be explored even further in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'', in the language of the [[new world]] people. In addition, the two languages have some words with similar spellings or origins.
*The various 3D models of Dream Friends would be reused in various ways in later games, such as cameos in ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]'', as well as Dress-Up Masks in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''.
*The concept of showing tips while the game loads would carry over to ''Super Kirby Clash'' and ''Kirby Fighters 2'', as well to ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'' (albeit for the latter, unrelated to the game loading).
*The concept of a secret final boss related to chaos (Void Soul) would be explored even further in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'', with [[Chaos Elfilis]].
