==Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!==
In [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]], Dream Rods can be found by pressing specific [[Big Switch]]es.
When playing as any of the downloadable Dream Friends, several levels feature entirely new rooms not seen in the Story Mode or in the runs with other characters. Additionally, several areas resemble stages from the games in which these Dream Friends originate.
{{main|Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!#DLC Dream Friend}}
As of version 4.0.0, each of the Dream Friends has a unique icon that appears during the "iris-in" and "iris-out" between loading screens in [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]] and [[Heroes in Another Dimension]]:
*[[King Dedede]] has his V-sign emblem.
*[[Meta Knight]] has his "M" emblem.
*[[Bandana Waddle Dee]] has an icon of his face.
*[[Rick & Kine & Coo]] have an icon of Rick.
*[[Marx]] has an icon of himself on his ball.
*[[Gooey]] has an icon of himself with his tongue out.
*[[Adeleine & Ribbon]] have the [[Ribbon's Crystal|crystal]] emblem.
*[[Dark Meta Knight]] has an icon of the [[Dimension Mirror]].
*[[Daroach]] has an icon of a [[Squeaker]].
*[[Magolor]] has an icon of the [[Lor Starcutter]].
*[[Taranza]] has an icon of the [[Dreamstalk]]'s flower.
*[[Susie]] has the [[Haltmann Works Company]]'s logo.
*[[The Three Mage-Sisters]] have their winged heart emblem.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Aside from [[Dream Palace]]s, it is also very briefly possible to recruit [[King Dedede#As a Dream Friend|King Dedede]] and [[Meta Knight#As a Dream Friend|Meta Knight]] directly after they are defeated as [[boss]]es if a [[Make Friend|Friend Heart]] is tossed at them in Story Mode and [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]]. Dream Rods can also be found by pressing specific [[Big Switch]]es in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!.
*According to [[Shinya Kumazaki]], Dream Friends were chosen without taking into consideration their roles and stories in past ''Kirby'' games, because it would close the door to some of them as playable characters and them adventuring together with Kirby.<ref>{{Cite|There were more than a few times when we thought it would be difficult to include certain characters when taking the past stories into consideration, but we got past that kind of rigid thinking early on. Focusing on the story would immediately close the door to going on adventures with these characters.|[[Shinya Kumazaki]]|[https://kotaku.com/kirby-star-allies-developers-explain-how-they-improved-1833813511 Kotaku interview]}}</ref>
*Among all [[Helper|Friends]] in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' so far, [[Animal Friend#Rick & Kine & Coo|Rick & Kine & Coo]] can provide [[Kirby]] and other Friends the most [[Power Effect|elemental powers]], three in total: Bluster, Sizzle, and Splash.
*Characters initially considered as Dream Friends that didn't make the final cut included [[Shadow Kirby]], [[Drawcia]], [[Galacta Knight]], [[Prince Fluff]], and [[Elline]]. They were decided against once the team established the basic rule of only including one Dream Friend from each main-series ''Kirby'' game.<ref>{{Cite|There were other characters that we wanted to make special guest appearances, like Drawcia, Elline, Shadow Kirby, Galacta Knight, and so on. But we established a certain rule for our selection process. The rule was to select one character from each title in the main action games over the years, the so-called core Kirby games, the equivalent to numbered sequels.|[[Shinya Kumazaki]]|[https://kotaku.com/kirby-star-allies-developers-explain-how-they-improved-1833813511 Kotaku interview]}}</ref>
**While [[Kine]] has Kine Freeze and Freeze Kine, they can only be used underwater, which cannot provide the Blizzard element in reality.
*Aside from [[Dream Palace]]s, it is also very briefly possible to recruit [[King Dedede#As a Dream Friend|King Dedede]] and [[Meta Knight#As a Dream Friend|Meta Knight]] directly after they are defeated as [[boss]]es if a [[Make Friend|Friend Heart]] is tossed at them in Story Mode and [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]].
*Among all playable characters in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', [[King Dedede#As a Dream Friend|King Dedede]] and [[The Three Mage-Sisters]] have the highest [[health]], [[Adeleine & Ribbon]] has the lowest health, [[Gooey]] has lower health than Kirby, and the remaining Dream Friends' health is tied with Kirby.
*The game updates also added [[Stone]] ability transformations, [[Celebration Picture]]s, and hidden stone plates (see [[Kirby Star Allies/Update History]]) of the Dream Friends.

Former allies and rivals return as friends. Embark on the adventure of your dreams with characters from the Kirby series!
— in-game tip from Kirby Star Allies

Dream Friends[1] are special playable characters which Kirby can recruit in Kirby Star Allies. They are distinct from the normal Friends in that they do not represent any particular Copy Ability, instead having unique movesets.

Overview[edit]

To obtain Dream Friends, the player must unlock them via Story Mode and/or game updates, then use a Dream Rod within to call them forth, found in Dream Palaces and in various locations of Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! and Heroes in Another Dimension. They can then remain with the team indefinitely, only disappearing if they are un-friended or defeated.

Dream Friends are also playable in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! where they can be chosen as the primary character, and The Ultimate Choice where they can be chosen as any player. In both of these modes, they must be unlocked by completing the mode once. They appear for player 1 to use to solve puzzles and collect Friend Hearts after going through Hero Doors in Heroes in Another Dimension.

List of Dream Friends[edit]

Kirby can recruit one Dream Friend each time he visits the Dream Palace. He can also recruit multiples of the same friend.

From Story Mode[edit]

These Dream Friends are available in the Story Mode, but two of them need to be unlocked by defeating them as Bosses first:

(This trio are notably also the playable characters in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.)

Bandana Waddle Dee is unlocked once the first Dream Palace is unlocked, while King Dedede and Meta Knight are available once they are beaten in Clash at Castle Dedede and Sacred Square, respectively.

Wave 1 Update[edit]

Group art of Wave 1 characters

These Dream Friends have been available since March 27th, 2018, when the game was updated to Version 2.0.0:

(Note: Rick & Kine & Coo are treated as a single character. They switch out for certain moves and share the same health bar.)

In Story Mode, the Wave 1 Dream Friends can be summoned once the first Dream Palace is available.

Wave 2 Update[edit]

Group art of Wave 2 characters

These Dream Friends have been available since July 27th, 2018, when the game was updated to Version 3.0.0:

(Note: Adeleine & Ribbon are treated as a single character. They move as one entity and share the same health bar.)

In Story Mode, the Wave 2 Dream Friends can be summoned once King Dedede is defeated in Clash at Castle Dedede at the end of Dream Land.

Wave 3 Update[edit]

Group art of Wave 3 characters, minus The Three Mage-Sisters

These Dream Friends have been available since November 30th, 2018, when the game was updated to Version 4.0.0:

(Note: The Three Mage-Sisters are treated as a single character. They share the same health bar but can switch freely at any time, each with her own moveset.)

In Story Mode, Magolor, Taranza, and Susie can be summoned once Meta Knight is defeated in Sacred Square at the end of Planet Popstar. The Three Mage-Sisters are unlocked once at least 100 Friend Hearts are collected and the happy ending is achieved in Heroes in Another Dimension.

Fanfare[edit]

Each Dream Friend plays their own fanfare when they are summoned by the Dream Rod, or when they are selected on the title screen of Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!, as well as when reaching checkpoints in that mode. The fanfares are based on their main theme song if applicable, or otherwise an appropriate theme from their origin game.

"There were more than a few times when we thought it would be difficult to include certain characters when taking the past stories into consideration, but we got past that kind of rigid thinking early on. Focusing on the story would immediately close the door to going on adventures with these characters." –Shinya Kumazaki (Kotaku interview)
  4. "There were other characters that we wanted to make special guest appearances, like Drawcia, Elline, Shadow Kirby, Galacta Knight, and so on. But we established a certain rule for our selection process. The rule was to select one character from each title in the main action games over the years, the so-called core Kirby games, the equivalent to numbered sequels." –Shinya Kumazaki (Kotaku interview)
