Additionally, multiple partners can be given a Face-to-Face using one food item, with no diminishing effect.

Face-to-Face (also called Item Share, sharing, lending a helping hand,[1] and Feed Me[2]) refers to the action of sharing a food item with a teammate to restore their health. This action is performable in almost every game in the series with partners, except for Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn due to the absence of health in those games, and Kirby's Dream Land 3.

Overview[edit]

The sound that plays when Kirby and his Helper perform a Face-to-Face in Kirby Super Star

To perform a Face-to-Face, the character in question must first grab a Food item to restore their health as usual. Then, within a short time window, that character must get close to a partner who is not at full health. If done correctly, both will pause for a moment and face each-other, almost as if they were kissing, and the partner will restore health equal to the Food item that was used. This action can be performed in midair, as well as underwater.

Any food item can be used to perform a Face-to-Face, but prior to Kirby Star Allies, the effect does not stack with multiple food items consumed, instead using the last one consumed in the action. Additionally, multiple partners can be given a Face-to-Face using one food item, with no diminishing effect.

Invincible Candy and Mint Leaves can also be shared using this method.

In the Team Kirby Clash games, Doctor Healmore's Science Lab move can produce a green potion which recovers health when used. This potion can be shared with other Kirbys using Face-to-Face.

In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Face-to-Face can be performed between Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee. Here, it no longer resembles kissing, but instead involves them giving each-other a high-five.

Game appearances[edit]

Face-to-Face can be performed in the following games and Sub-Games:
