Release date(s): March 16th, 2018

Template:Game Kirby: Star Allies (Japanese: 星のカービィ スターアライズ Hoshi no Kabi: Star Allies) is an upcoming main-series title for the Nintendo Switch. It is set to release on March 16th 2018 in all regions.

Overview

Kirby: Star Allies is an action platformer, styled after previous games in the main series, greatly resembling Kirby's Return to Dream Land in its art style, but in HD. The central gimmicks of the game appear to be using hearts to befriend certain enemies on the stage to turn them into allies in the vain of the Helpers from Kirby Super Star (Ultra). Collecting certain friends will allow Kirby to solve various puzzles, and perform combo attacks called Friend Abilities. These attacks include combining Copy Abilities, as well as performing special moves with the friends. Once Friends are acquired, they can either be controlled by the CPU, or controlled by additional players.

In the stages, Kirby and his friends can collect Picture Pieces. These serve as optional collectable items which are used to form 'celebration pictures'.

Not much is known about the story. Recent trailers do suggest, however, that a strange wizard-like being is raining magic on Pop Star, and it is this magic that gives Kirby the ability to charm creatures on the field at will using hearts.

Returning Abilities

Friend Abilities

According to pre-release information, it should be possible to augment most Copy Abilities in the game with another elemental Copy Ability (such as Fire, Ice, and Plasma) to add an effect to that ability. When it comes to utility abilities like Sword and Yo-yo, the move-set doesn't appear to change after the combination, but attacks will cause lingering elemental effects, and be more powerful. Certain combinations (presumably those done between two elemental type abilities) create unique moves, such as Curling and Icicle Lance. It would appear that a Friend needs to be present to pull off these moves in particular.

In addition, there are more specific friend attacks, which can be done with four Friends. These don't appear to rely on any specific Copy Ability, but instead involve the four friends cooperating in some way to unleash a special attack and/or means of travel, like the Friend Train and the Friends Star.
