'''Friend Star''' (also called '''Friends Star''') is a situational [[Friend Ability]] present in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. It allows Kirby and his friends to ride a special winged star which can be steered freely through the air and allows them to fire powerful projectiles at enemies and hazards in their way. To activate this ability, a special pedestal must be found in the stage, and four [[Helper|Friend]]s are needed (including Kirby).

To activate this ability, a special pedestal must be found in the stage, and four [[Helper|Friend]]s are needed (including Kirby).


==Overview==
While riding the Friend Star, one of the four friends takes the lead, and the leader can swap out with another mid-flight. Depending on the power of the friend at the head, the projectiles fired will take on [[Power Effect|the character of that power]]. (See [[Power Effect#Friend Star / Star Allies Sparkler]].) For example, if [[Chilly]] takes the lead, the projectiles fired will be [[Ice]]-based. In addition, when entering a door with this ability, the friend riding back will pose as they enter. The Friend Star has a [[health]] bar of its own, and if depleted, all four Friends will be KO'd at once.

— Kirby Star Allies Pause Screen description

Friend Star is a situational Friend Ability present in Kirby Star Allies. It allows Kirby and his friends to ride a special winged star with a heart at its bottom which can be steered freely through the air and allows them to fire powerful projectiles at enemies and hazards in their way. To activate this ability, a special pedestal must be found in the stage, and four Friends are needed (including Kirby).

While riding the Friend Star, one of the four friends takes the lead, and the leader can swap out with another mid-flight. Depending on the power of the friend at the head, the projectiles fired will take on the character of that power. (See Power Effect#Friend Star / Star Allies Sparkler.) For example, if Chilly takes the lead, the projectiles fired will be Ice-based. In addition, when entering a door with this ability, the friend riding back will pose as they enter. The Friend Star has a health bar of its own, and if depleted, all four Friends will be KO'd at once.

The Friend Star can be used to battle some bosses, in particular Whispy Woods in Fruity Forest, Grand Mam on Grott Moon, and Yggy Woods on Extra Planet δ, but it is only required for the battle against Grand Mam.
