In this game, the player does not control [[Kirby]], but may instead choose from one of his numerous [[helper]]s or play as a [[Sword Knight]]. These differently col{{o}}red helpers take on the bosses, much like [[The Arena]], the final boss being [[Wham Bam Jewel]]. Unlike the Arena, however, the bosses in Helper to Hero are fought in a set order. Another difference is that the player's character is only provided with three [[Maxim Tomato]]es and three [[food|tomatoes]]. There is also a mode in Helper to Hero in which a CPU-controlled version of the same helper aids the player's character. If Helper to Hero is completed by all of the helpers, a secret movie is unlocked; however, it does not need to be finished with every selectable character in order to achieve [[100% Completion]] on a save file.

Helper to Hero is one of the Sub-Games that exclusively appears in Kirby Super Star Ultra. It is unlocked by beating at least 13 bosses in The Arena.

GameplayEdit

In this game, the player does not control Kirby, but may instead choose from one of the game's numerous helpers to play as, including the Meta Knightmare Ultra exclusive Sword Knight. These differently colored helpers take on the bosses, much like The Arena, the final boss being Wham Bam Jewel. Unlike the Arena, however, the bosses in Helper to Hero are fought in a set order. Another difference is that the player's character is only provided with three Maxim Tomatoes and three tomatoes. There is also a mode in Helper to Hero in which a CPU-controlled version of the same helper aids the player's character. Helper to Hero only needs to be finished with one helper to achieve 100% completion on a save file, but if the mode is completed by all of the helpers, the player is given multiple rewards: a unique screen that says "You became a hero!", a crown on the Helper to Hero option in the Corkboard, and a secret movie in the Theater.

Helper SelectionEdit

 
The Selection screen, showing every Helper available.

The player can choose between the following Helpers to play as. Each is based off a different Copy Ability, though some are differentiated further:

Each Helper has a different color scheme to the standard enemies they are based off. Each one also has separate records.

Helpers have more health in Helper to Hero than other modes. A tomato restores 12 HP. The first time player 2 is defeated, they are revived with half HP in the rest area; from the second time onward, they are revived with quarter HP (rounded down to zero decimal places).

Boss OrderEdit

Several bosses are the alternative color variants from Milky Way Wishes (noted as alt.) whose health is multiplied by 1.15. The alternative color variant of Computer Virus is exclusive to Helper to Hero and not fought in other modes. Each boss' icon on the touch screen features a different helper.
