Even the stoic Meta Knight has fallen prey to the enemy's evil influence, and now their foreboding fortress has suddenly appeared. Why have they come to this land? WHY?! Undeterred, Kirby and his friends charge forward with gusto.
— Level description in Kirby Star Allies

Fortress of Shadows - Jambastion is the third level in Kirby Star Allies. It is a huge floating fortress which serves as an outpost of Jambandra, and is overseen by the Three Mage-Sisters - Francisca, Flamberge and Zan Partizanne. In pursuit of the pieces of the Jamba Heart, Jambastion embeds itself into Planet Popstar. From there, Kirby and his friends infiltrate the fortress in an attempt to drive them off. Once Kirby defeats the Mage-Sisters here, they attempt to stop Kirby by destroying the fortress with him inside it, though Kirby manages to escape.

Stages[edit]

The Jambastion is accessible once Meta Knight is defeated in World of Miracles - Planet Popstar. The Jambastion consists of nine stages, as well as a Dream Palace; some of these stages are accessed on the world map using 3D Warp Stars. There are four bosses to face throughout the stages, with Zan Partizanne being the last. Defeating her and then escaping unlocks the next level, Far-Flung Starlight Heroes.

For details on each stage individually, click the name of the stage.

Trivia[edit]

  • While Kirby and his allies infiltrate only one Jambastion, several more can be seen orbiting the great space station Jambandra. Despite the station's massive size, it has comparatively less areas for Kirby to traverse than the Jambastion which lands on Popstar.
  • Starting with Version 4.0.0, after clearing Story Mode, Shadow Kirby on a Warp Star may fly over the Jambastion level map on occasion.
  • Right before entering the boss fights with the Three Mage-Sisters, there will be candles surrounding the boss door representing each of the generals:
    • Francisca has four blue candles before her battle in Longview Corridor
    • Flamberge has six red-orange candles before her battle in Inner Sanctum
    • Zan Partizanne has eight chartreuse candles before her battle in Heavenly Hall
