Festival is a single-use Copy Ability that debuted in Kirby Star Allies. The Festival ability gives Kirby a captain's hat with a frock of colorful feathers attached to the back. When used, time freezes and Kirby and any Friends present will dance, dealing massive damage to all enemies on screen and turning them into Point Stars once the dance concludes. Festival's power increases if more friends are present to dance. Once the dance is performed, Kirby will lose this ability.

Festival is the first limited-use Copy Ability to be introduced since Magic in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror - a 14 year gap.

Game appearances[edit]

Kirby Star Allies[edit]

Festival made its debut as an ability in Kirby Star Allies. It can be obtained from a Mix, by swallowing Don Puffle or by swallowing the golden cherries dropped by Yggy Woods. When used with multiple players, it automatically turns into the Festival Dance Friend Ability.

The Festival attack's damage is:

  • Dance Solo (1 player): 180
  • Festival Dance (2 players): 200
  • Festival Dance (3 players): 210
  • Festival Dance (4 players): 220

(For reference, the basic Star Bullet does 52 damage.)

Super Kirby Clash[edit]

Though not appearing as an ability in Super Kirby Clash, Festival Kirby is seen as a sticker, which can be purchased at Magolor's Shoppe for 20 Gem Apples.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]

Despite not appearing in the original Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Festival returns in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, where it works the same way as in Kirby Star Allies (though without the formal Friend Ability designation). Magolor will also appear during the dance if Helper Magolor is turned on. Magolor may either play an instrument (a trumpet or tambourine) or toss confetti during the dance.

If Kirby is performing the dance while wearing a Dress-Up Mask, he will not vocalize at the start, and the mask's unique sounds will be used instead when the dance is finished.

The Festival attack's damage is:

  • Dance Solo (1 player): 150 base power/damage
  • Festival Dance (2 players): 200 base power × 0.8 multiplayer modifier = 160 damage
  • Festival Dance (3 players): 227 base power × 0.75 multiplayer modifier = 170 damage
  • Festival Dance (4 players): 258 base power × 0.7 multiplayer modifier = 180 damage

(For reference, the basic Star Bullet does 52 damage.)

Trivia[edit]

  • The Festival ability was designed to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Kirby series, further proven by the ability using the graphics of the 25th anniversary logo ring at the end of the dance.[1] This also applies to its appearance in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, which was released during the 30th anniversary of the series.
  • In The Ultimate Choice, Point Stars are still created when using Festival on common enemies, even though there is no counter for them. The player has to go out of their way to try this, obtaining the ability during the Yggy Woods fight and then keeping it until a mid-boss ambush.
