Zan Partizanne is a Boss who made her debut in Kirby Star Allies. She is described as the Lightning General of the Three Mages, and serves as a counterpart to the other two generals; Francisca and Flamberge. She is also the eldest and highest-ranking general of the trio, taking orders directly from Hyness.
As her title implies, Zan Partizanne uses electricity in battle, conducted through her polearm when she swings at the Star Allies, as well as a giant set of drums she straps onto her back.
She is first faced in battle at the end of Heavenly Hall in Jambastion. Once defeated, she destroys the core of the fortress, prompting the Star Allies to escape before it collapses. Zan Partizanne is faced again at The Divine Terminus, just before the battle with Hyness.
Attacks
The following lists all of Zan Partizanne's attacks. Attacks in italics are used during the second phase only.
Zan Partizanne's Attacks during the first battle in Kirby Star Allies | |

Attack | Description |

ザン・サウザンド Zan Thousand |
Zan Partizanne rapidly thrusts her spear while dashing, finishing with a forceful thrust. |
カミナリオコシ Thunder Candies |
Zan Partizanne begins with this attack during the second phase of her first battle.

As long as her drums are not destroyed, she may fire parabolic electric blasts from the drums for 5 rounds, leaving stars on impact:
Under her is the safety zone where the electric blasts can't hit Kirby & his allies.

The middle under her is the safety zone where the lightning bolts on her both sides can't hit Kirby & his allies. |
Electro Eclair |
Zan Partizanne conjures her Raijin drums in order to use this attack, similar to 'Thunder Candies'. As long as her drums are not destroyed, she may use her drums as a bow and shoot her spear horizontally like an arrow.

Music
Zan Partizanne's battle theme is titled 忘らるる閃光のライトニング[2] (The Forgotten Flash Lightning, a reference to how her name is often forgotten).

Trivia
- Like the previous two generals, Zan Partizanne's English name is based on the name of the polearm she carries.
- Zan Partizanne is voiced by Ryōka Yuzuki.
- Zan Partizanne is the second boss in the series who forces an escape sequence after being defeated, the first one being Meta Knight in Revenge of Meta Knight.
- Zan Partizanne refers to her sisters lovingly as 'Franny' and 'Berge'.
- Zan Partizanne appears to be personally fond of Hyness - a feeling which is not reciprocated.
- Zan Partizanne is the only one of the Three Mages to have her own boss battle theme, albeit just being an arrangement of Francisca and Flamberge's battle theme.
- She is also the only member whose name does not begin with the letter F.
- If Zan Partizanne's health is lowered to half before her health bar even appears, the bar won't appear for the rest of the battle, possibly due to a glitch.
- Her very long name has become a running joke on Kirby's official JP Twitter. When she presents news on the official Twitter, she often reminds the readers to remember her name.
