Susie makes her playable debut as a [[Dream Friend]] in version 4.0.0 of ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. Her move-set is divided between two primary forms. The first has her on-foot, where she can fire at foes using her H.W.C. blaster or charge at them with rushdown attacks similar to those of the [[Jet]] ability. To fly long distances, she pulls out her personal Transporter, which can damage foes with its rotor blades. Her second form has her jump into her Business Suit, which functions very similarly to the Robobot Armor, having only one mid-air jump and being capable of clearing away heavier obstacles such as chains, [[stake]]s and metal blocks.

Her second form has her jump into her Business Suit, which functions very similarly to the Robobot Armor, having only one midair jump and being capable of clearing away heavier obstacles such as chains, [[stake]]s and metal blocks. Susie also takes significantly less damage while in her Business Suit, as did Kirby in the [[Robobot Armor]].


Her Dream Friend description states that she intends to bring back the company her father built. In the Japanese version, direct quotes from her are given: 「科学の力で 家族だんらん、幸せな くらしを ごていきょう…」("Through the power of science, I offer family harmony and a happy life...") and 「そんな理念の もと、ヤバンなヤツは くじょ、いたしますわ!」 ("I will exterminate the uncivilized!")
Her Dream Friend description states that she intends to bring back the company her father built. Part of the Japanese, Chinese and Korean descriptions are written from her perspective, and rather than saying that she "uses science to [...] mechan[ize] new planets and peoples", it gives her a slightly different goal: 「科学の力で 家族だんらん、幸せな くらしを ごていきょう… そんな理念の もと、ヤバンなヤツは くじょ、いたしますわ!」/ “她立志要用科学之力让全家过上幸福美满的生活…… 而这个理念的根本,就是要把那些野蛮家伙都赶走!" / 「과학의 힘으로 단란한 가족, 행복한 생활을 제공한다 는 이념 하에 위험한 녀석은 사라지게 하겠습니다!」 ("We provide harmony in families and happiness in life through the power of science... based upon this ideal, I'll exterminate you savages!")


Susie is capable of receiving a [[Power Effect]] such as 'Bluster', 'Splash' or 'Zap', adding to her arsenal and creating several distinct attacks which resemble the Robobot Armor modes.

==Etymology==
Susie's name is derived from the Japanese word for digit,「{{furi|数字|すうじ}}」(''Sūji''). This is meant as a reference to the Haltmann Works Company's use of technology as weaponry. Director [[Shinya Kumazaki]] wanted to choose a real woman's name as well. He found that the nickname Susie is frequently used outside of Japan, which coincided with the Haltmann Works Company being foreign to [[Planet Popstar]]. Other potential names included Beatrice and Melissa.<ref>{{cite person|quote=The naming comes from a word “digit” [“suuji” in Japanese] as a symbol of a company which uses technology as a weapon.
