Driblee can also be made into a Friend, whereby it dons a water crown similar to Kirby's. As an ally, Driblee can use the full move-set of the Water ability, along with the Friend Abilities pertaining. Like many allies, Driblee has lower health than Kirby, but benefits from an Infinity Jump.

Like other allies, Driblee gets a unique playthrough in the extra game called Guest Star Driblee Rinse and Repeat!.

  • According to its Chinese name, Driblee is an eel fish creature.
  • The English name "Driblee" is probably derived from driblet and the reverse spelling of eel.
