'''Friend Circle''' is a situational [[Friend Ability]] present in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. It allows Kirby and his friends to form up and take the shape of a wheel, allowing them to roll down hills, crushing any foes in the way. To activate this ability, four Friends are needed (it doesn't matter which friends) and a Friend Platform must be found in the stage. Once activated, the Friend Circle allows the friends to move quickly down hills. While moving, they are invulnerable to attack, but they can still fall into [[bottomless pit]]s. To prevent this, they can perform a single jump, which can vary in height depending on how long the player holds down the button.
