'''Jet Mode''' is one of the [[Robobot Armor]] modes. It transforms [[Kirby]]'s mech into a free-flying jet with loads of missiles and gatling ammunition. When acquiring this mode, the armor flies off into a separate area of the stage and is controlled in a side-scrolling shooter style, moving automatically to the right. When this concludes, the armor crashes, and is not usable again.
