Chop Champs can be played with up to four players, with non-human players being controlled by the [[CPU]]. Each contestant stands next to their tree with an axe, and lops off log sections one after the other. Each segment chopped is worth 50 points. On the log segments, [[Caterpillar]]s or [[Gordo]]s can be found. If they make contact with Kirby, they will hurt him, slowing him down. To avoid them, Kirby can switch sides on the trunk. If Kirby hits a trunk section with a Gordo on it, that Gordo will be passed over to the trunk of a different contestant.

There are three difficulty levels to Chop Champs; called Chop Amateur, Chop Chief, and Chop Champion. The primary difference between these modes is the speed at which Kirby can chop, and the height of the trees. The second and third difficulties cannot be played until the first one is cleared. To complete this sub-game, all three levels need to be tried at least once.
On the log segments, [[Capiller|caterpillars]] and [[Gordo]]s can be found. If they make contact with Kirby, they will hurt him, slowing him down. To avoid them, Kirby can switch sides on the trunk. If Kirby hits a trunk section with a Gordo on it, that Gordo will be passed over to the trunk of a different contestant.


There are different set heights for the trees, which vary depending on difficulty level. As such, there is only so much wood that can be chopped before the tree is completely logged. On the 27m tree, 5500 points can be earned before the tree is completely removed. This requires that Kirby not get hit even once while logging.
The higher a Kirby's rank is, the more accomplished their log house is in the results.

There are three difficulty levels in Chop Champs, ranked from easy to difficult:
*'''Chop Amateur'''
*'''Chop Chief'''
*'''Chop Champion'''
In higher difficulty levels, the tree is taller and Kirby can chop faster. There are different set heights for the trees, which vary depending on difficulty level. As such, there is only so much wood that can be chopped before the tree is completely logged. To reach the perfect high score, the player must chop ''every'' log as fast as possible.
 
Chop Chief and Chop Champion cannot be played until Chop Amateur is cleared. To complete this sub-game, the player must be ranked 3rd or higher in Chop Champion, which contributes 3% to [[100% completion]]. The first two levels don't count any percentage, i.e. Chop Chief is not required for 100% completion at all.

Chop Champs is a Sub-Game in Kirby Star Allies. It features four Kirbys competing to see who can chop the most wood from their tree in a 30-second time limit.

Tutorial[edit]

Chop your tree as much as you can before time runs out. Swing the Joy-Con to swing the axe!
Watch out for caterpillars and Gordos! Use ←/→ to dodge quickly!
Gordos fly to other trees! Chop down your tree as much as possible to build a log house!

— In-game tutorial

Chop Champs can be played with up to four players, with non-human players being controlled by the CPU. Each contestant stands next to their tree with an axe, and lops off log sections one after the other. Each segment chopped is worth 50 points.

On the log segments, caterpillars and Gordos can be found. If they make contact with Kirby, they will hurt him, slowing him down. To avoid them, Kirby can switch sides on the trunk. If Kirby hits a trunk section with a Gordo on it, that Gordo will be passed over to the trunk of a different contestant.

The higher a Kirby's rank is, the more accomplished their log house is in the results.

Levels[edit]

Easy does it! Chop away as much of your tree as you can. Avoid caterpillars!

— Chop Chief flavor text
A challenge for champions, with lots of Gordos and caterpillars. Chop away!
— Chop Champion flavor text

There are three difficulty levels in Chop Champs, ranked from easy to difficult:

  • Chop Amateur
  • Chop Chief
  • Chop Champion

In higher difficulty levels, the tree is taller and Kirby can chop faster. There are different set heights for the trees, which vary depending on difficulty level. As such, there is only so much wood that can be chopped before the tree is completely logged. To reach the perfect high score, the player must chop every log as fast as possible.

Chop Chief and Chop Champion cannot be played until Chop Amateur is cleared. To complete this sub-game, the player must be ranked 3rd or higher in Chop Champion, which contributes 3% to 100% completion. The first two levels don't count any percentage, i.e. Chop Chief is not required for 100% completion at all.

Level Unlock Requirement 100% completion Percentage Obstacles Tree Height Perfect High Score
Chop Amateur Available at start None Caterpillars 16 m / 64 segments 3200
Chop Chief Clear Chop Amateur None Caterpillars & Gordos 27.5 m / 110 segments 5500
Chop Champion 3% Caterpillars & Gordos 45.75 m / 183 segments 9150

Trivia[edit]

  • The gameplay resembles the mobile phone game Timberman.
  • Each log is about 25 cm high, which is close to Kirby's 20 cm (8 inches) height.
  • If Kirby refuses to chop any logs, the results screen shows Kirby in the last place pose with two piles of timber behind him, as opposed to the regular last-place house.
