Dream Friend
Dream Friends 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.
To obtain them, Kirby must unlock them via Story Mode and/or game update, enter a Dream Palace, and then use the Dream Rod within to call them forth. They can then remain with Kirby 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.
List of Dream Friends
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
These Dream Friends are available in the Story Mode, but two of them need to be unlocked by defeating them as Bosses first:
- Bandana Waddle Dee (available at start)
- King Dedede (unlocked once he is defeated in Clash at Castle Dedede)
- Meta Knight (unlocked once he is defeated in Sacred Square)
This trio are notably also the playable characters in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.
Wave 1 Update
These Dream Friends have become available from March 28th, 2018 when the game was updated to Version 2.0.0:
(Note that Rick & Kine & Coo are actually treated as a single character. They switch out for certain moves, and share the same health bar.)
Wave 2 Update
These Dream Friends would become available from the next game update on July 27, 2018:
(Note that Adeleine & Ribbon are treated as a single character. They move as one entity and share the same health bar.)
Fanfare
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!.

Trivia
- Aside from Dream Palaces, it is also very briefly possible to recruit King Dedede and Meta Knight directly after they are defeated as bosses if a 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 Switches in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!.
- Among all Friends in Kirby Star Allies so far, Rick & Kine & Coo and Daroach can provide Kirby and other Friends the most elemental powers at the number of three.
- Rick & Kine & Coo: Sizzle, Bluster, Splash. (While Kine has Kine Freeze and Freeze Kine, they can only be used underwater, which cannot provide the Blizzard element in reality.)
- Daroach: Blizzard, Zap, Sizzle.
