Piggyback is the act of riding on the back of an ally. Kirby can do this with his friends in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby Star Allies. While riding Piggyback, the character riding cannot perform any action other than dismounting, and will generally not hamper the abilities of the character being ridden (unless they try to squeeze into a tight space, wherein the rider will be forced to jump off). However, if Kirby rides Piggyback on a CPU-controlled friend, he can take direct control of that friend, and use all the abilities pertaining to said friend (except for Friend Abilities which require holding up on the control stick/d-pad).

A character who is riding Piggyback can be ridden in turn by another character, stacking up to four friends high. In this case, only the character on the bottom will be able to perform standard moves. If all stacked characters are controlled by human players, however, it is possible to perform a Team Attack, where all friends attack at once.
