Far away, on a distant terminus in outer space, a [[Hyness|strange robed figure]] approaches a giant black crystal heart encased in a glass ball. The wizard-like being then raises an incantation, which causes the heart to shatter, shooting [[Jamba Heart|pieces of it]] all over the galaxy. Many of these pieces fly all the way to [[Popstar]], where they begin raining down on the normally peaceful planet. [[Meta Knight]] and [[King Dedede]] separately encounter the hearts as they land, and Dedede in particular becomes entranced by them. Meanwhile, [[Kirby]] is sleeping beside a hollow hillside, when a separate heart-shaped ray hits his head. This causes him to stir, only to discover that Dedede's [[Waddle Dee]]s are running toward [[Castle Dedede]] with as much food as they can carry, leaving Kirby to presume that Dedede is stealing all the food from [[Dream Land]] again. [[Kirby]] rushes off toward the castle to put a stop to this. Along the way, Kirby discovers a strange new power within himself that allows him to charm enemies and make them into his friends.

Dedede immediately attacks, transforming into an overly muscular version of himself in the process. Despite this, Kirby manages to beat him, causing one of the dark hearts to pop out of the King as he reverts to normal. The heart then flies away on its own, prompting Kirby to give chase. | ||

Upon the defeat of his finest general, the wizard (whose name is revealed as [[Hyness]]) turns and faces Kirby himself. After kicking his own general out of the way, Hyness proceeds to deliver a crazed rant at Kirby, blaming his kind for the woes that fell upon him, and reasserting his desire to awaken his dark god. He battles Kirby, but shortly into the fight, his hood gets knocked off, revealing his true face. From there, he uses the inanimate bodies of the Three Mage-Sisters as projectiles to fight Kirby with, his mad power proving difficult to overcome. Kirby ultimately beats Hyness, but this only forces the cornered officiant to resort to drastic measures. He sacrifices the Mage-Sisters, and then himself by plunging all of them into the heart, mending it completely and causing it to awaken. The dark god forms into a terrible masked giant (named [[Void Termina]]), but Kirby uses a special power with his allies in the form of the [[Star Allies Sparkler]] to battle it with. The fight is long and hard, but in the process, Kirby and his allies make their way into Void Termina's body and free Hyness and the Mage-Sisters from its grasp. After sustaining massive damage, Void Termina assumes its true form, and the allies battle it one more time. Kirby finishes it off by engaging in a prolonged laser tug-o-war with the dark god, and finishes by summoning all of his allies to attack the beast at once, destroying it utterly. Kirby and his allies escape as Void Termina's death causes the world they were fighting on to shatter. Kirby is knocked out by the debris but wakes up in outer space along with the allies he had just fought with. Together, they ride a [[Warp Star]] back to Popstar, having vanquished yet another great evil from the universe. | Upon the defeat of his finest general, the wizard (whose name is revealed as [[Hyness]]) turns and faces Kirby himself.

Story
Far away, on a distant terminus in outer space, a strange robed figure approaches a giant black crystal heart encased in a glass ball. The wizard-like being then raises an incantation, which causes the heart to shatter, shooting pieces of it all over the galaxy. Many of these pieces fly all the way to Popstar, where they begin raining down on the normally peaceful planet.

Meanwhile, Kirby is sleeping beside a hollow hillside, when a separate heart-shaped ray hits his head. This causes him to stir, only to discover that Dedede's Waddle Dees are running toward Castle Dedede with as much food as they can carry, leaving Kirby to presume that Dedede is stealing all the food from Dream Land again. Kirby rushes off toward the castle to put a stop to this. Along the way, Kirby discovers a strange new power within himself that allows him to charm enemies and make them into his friends.

Dedede immediately attacks, transforming into an overly muscular version of himself in the process. Despite this, Kirby manages to beat him, causing one of the dark hearts to pop out of the King as he reverts to normal. The heart then flies away on its own, prompting Kirby to give chase.

Gameplay
Kirby Star Allies is an action platformer, styled after previous games in the main series, greatly resembling [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Template:KRDL KAW]] in its art style, but in HD. The central premise of the game revolves around Kirby's ability to toss hearts at enemies to befriend them and turn into allies in the vain of the Helpers from Kirby Super Star (Ultra). Collecting certain friends will allow Kirby to solve various puzzles, and perform combo attacks called Friend Abilities. These attacks include combining Copy Abilities, as well as performing special moves with the friends. Once Friends are acquired, they can either be controlled by the CPU, or controlled by additional players. In the stages, Kirby and his friends can collect Picture Pieces. These serve as optional collectible items that are used to complete Celebration Pictures.
The main Story Mode has Kirby and his friends traversing four main areas (with a fifth being a final boss level) and visiting stages in each area, unlocking them by clearing them in succession. Optional extra stages can also be unlocked by finding and pressing Big Switches in certain stages. These switches also unlock the Dream Palaces at each level, where Kirby can recruit the special Dream Friends if he so wishes.
Control
There are two control types to choose from in the Control Options. Type A is the default one, and Type B resembles the control in Kirby Super Star.
If using a single Joy-Con, it must be placed horizontally: only the stick does the move control, the four round buttons (→/↓/↑/←) become A/B/X/Y respectively, and SL and SR function as L/R/ZL/ZR (L/R does nothing if using a single Joy-Con).

World Map
The Story Mode features a 3-dimensional world map similar to Super Mario 3D World, with Kirby controlled using the Control Stick or the directional buttons in World of Peace - Dream Land and Fortress of Shadows - Jambastion. In World of Miracles - Planet Popstar and Far-Flung Starlight Heroes, Kirby and friends are on a Warp Star instead, but are still controlled with the Control Stick or directional buttons. Both World of Peace - Dream Land and Far-Flung Starlight Heroes have collectible Point Stars on the map. Far-Flung Starlight Heroes is the only area in this game in which the player can control the camera themselves using the right Control Stick.
Modes
- Story Mode - The main game, where the player plays as Kirby.
- Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! - An Extra Game unlocked after Story Mode is completed, which consists of a time attack run through the main game levels as a Friend or Dream Friend other than Kirby himself. However, this mode could have been played with Kirby using a glitch prior to Ver.3.0.0.
- The Ultimate Choice - A Boss Endurance mode, unlocked after Story Mode is completed, similar to The Arena with nine difficulty levels and a scoring mechanic.
- Heroes in Another Dimension - A challenge mode added in Ver.4.0.0 unlocked after Story Mode is completed. Kirby and the allies set off for a new adventure in Another Dimension.
- Chop Champs - A Sub-Game where Kirbys compete to log down trees as quickly as possible while avoiding caterpillars and Gordos at the same time.
- Star Slam Heroes - A Sub-Game where Kirbys have to hit an asteroid with a baseball bat as far as they can.
- Theater Room - Where the player can watch the movies from the cutscenes. Unlocked after watching the opening movie in Story Mode.
- Jukebox - (サウンドルーム Sound Room in the Japanese version) Where the player can listen to the game music. Unlocked after Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! is completed. When a soundtrack is playing, the musical notes will change the color to indicate its composer, which was first used in Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Kirby: Planet Robobot:
- Blue soundtracks are composed by Hirokazu Ando.
- Red soundtracks are composed by Jun Ishikawa.
- Yellow soundtracks are composed by Yuta Ogasawara, a new composer who joined HAL Laboratory in August 2017. Star Allies is the first Kirby video game that he has composed soundtracks for.
Levels & Stages
Kirby Star Allies features a total of 40 stages in the Story Mode, not counting the Ability Planet or the final boss level. Additionally, the Heroes in Another Dimension mode contains another 5 stages of extended length.

Unlike in previous Kirby games, the first letters of this game's five levels won't spell out something, however the first letters of every stage in World of Miracles: Planet Popstar does form a word. When the stages are followed in clockwise order and the Dream Palace is excluded, the first letters spell out the word "FRIENDS".
- In the Spanish version, it spells out "AMISTAD" (friendship).
- In the French version, it spells out "COPAINS" (friends).
- In the Dutch version, it spells out "STERREN" (stars).
- In the German version, it spells out "FSIENDR". It doesn't mean anything, but note that it would spell "FRIENDS" if the S and R were swapped around.
- In the Italian version, it spells out "AMICONI" (buddies).
- In the Chinese version, it spells out "卡比与新星同盟 (simplified) / 卡比與新星同盟 (traditional)" (Kirby and Star Allies).
On occasion, these cameo characters/objects/places appear on the world map's background. (Requires clearing Story Mode.)

Friend Abilities
In addition to standard Copy Abilities, Kirby and his Friends can combine their powers together to create combinations. This can be done in a number of different ways, as illustrated in the sections below.
Power Effects
- Main article: Power Effect
Elemental enhancements can be applied to neutral-type Copy Abilities (typically those that resemble weapons). To do this, the weapon holder must raise their weapon, then the element wielder must use an elemental attack on the ally's weapon to imbue it. There are five power effects in total, as follows:
- Blizzard - provided by ice-based attacks
- Bluster - provided by wind-based attacks
- Sizzle - provided by fire-based attacks
- Splash - provided by water-based attacks
- Zap - provided by electric-based attacks
Friend Combo Attacks
In addition to the above, there are special one-time moves which the Star Allies can perform by combining specific abilities together, or by simply having the allies involved. These abilities are as follows:
- Chumbrella (Parasol)
- Cook Potluck (Cook + one or more Friends)
- Supper Party (fully charged version of previous)
- Crash Rush (Crash + one or more Friends)
- Curling (Stone/Rick & Kine & Coo/Gooey + element)
- Clean Curling (+ Cleaning)
- Ice Curling (+ Blizzard)
- Splash Curling (+ Splash)
- Fatal Chorus (Mike + one or more Friends)
- Festival Dance (Festival + one or more Friends)
- Friend Bounce (Spider/Taranza + one or more Friends; can be used solo as well)
- Friend Super-Vac (Cleaning + one or more Friends; can be used solo to suck up enemies as well)
- Friend Throw (Beetle/Fighter/Suplex/Gooey + one Friend)
- Friend Wake-Up Call (Sleep + one Friend)
- Geokinesis (ESP + Stone/Rick & Kine & Coo/Gooey)
- Icicle Lance (Water + Blizzard)
- Rising Sizzler (Fire + Bluster)
- Rock Painter (Stone/Rick & Kine & Coo/Gooey + Artist/Adeleine & Ribbon)
- Still Life (Artist)
- Al Fresco (Adeleine & Ribbon's version)
- Summon Lor (Magolor + one or more Friends)
- Thundersplash (Plasma + Splash)
- Zap Splasher (Water + Zap)
Friend Actions
Finally, there are five special formations which can only be used by finding a Friend Platform at various points in stages. These require four allies of any type to activate, and are as follows:
- Friend Bridge
- Friend Train
- Friend Circle
- Friend Star
- Star Allies Sparkler (used only during final boss battle)

Friends
Standard friends can be recruited by tossing Friend Hearts at them in the stages where they appear. There are also special friends (referred to as Dream Friends) who can be obtained by visiting a Dream Palace. Dream Friends are special characters with their own unique move-sets. Friends are able to bear different [[Color Changes|colTemplate:Our schemes]] depending on their player number, like Sir Kibble in green armTemplate:Our. In addition, the Friends wear Kirby-style hats appropriate to their ability once they've been recruited.

Mid-Bosses
Mid-Bosses in Kirby Star Allies | |||
---|---|---|---|
Name | Appearance | Copy Ability | Description |
Big Bouncy | None | This obscure enemy appears only twice in the game, and even then, only outside of Story Mode. It resembles the giant Bouncy from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards in how it operates, not posing a direct threat to Kirby and his friends, bouncing in place and requiring many hits to defeat, while smaller Bouncies spawn while the big one is still alive. | |
Bonkers | Hammer | This powerful mallet-wielding simian returns once more to do battle with Kirby. His moves are largely the same as before, though when defeated, he can be recruited as a Friend. | |
Bugzzy | Suplex | The original Beetle-like wrestler appears for the first time in 3-D. His moves are largely the same as before, though he also gains the ability to dive at Kirby from the sky, as well as use the Pinpoint Kick. He can become an ally once defeated. | |
Chef Kawasaki | Cook | This infamous chef returns for the first time in 3-D. His attacks include throwing dishes, spinning through the air, and grabbing Kirby with his ladle to cook him up. He can be recruited as an ally once defeated. | |
Mr. Frosty | Ice | The walrus in overalls strikes again, this time focusing more heavily on his charging attacks and acrobatics. Unlike the others, he cannot be made into an ally, being replaced by Chilly if he is hit by a Friend Heart once downed. | |
Vividria | Artist | The only newcomer of the bunch, this paintbrush-haired lass can float around the battlefield, and attacks by swiping with her hair, spraying paint around, and painting things to attack Kirby with. She can be made into an ally once defeated. |
