— Kirby Star Allies Pause Screen description

Friend Train is a situational Friend Ability present in Kirby Star Allies. It allows Kirby and his friends to form up in a line and move very quickly in a train-like formation. Kirby also gains a conductor's hat with a smokestack coming out the top. While Friend Train is active, Kirby and his friends will run forward at very high speed, unable to stop or turn around. Any enemies they run into will be defeated, and various obstacles can also be broken. The Friend Train is also capable of moving up walls and running along the ceiling, contorting to whatever surface the friends run across. While running, the Friend Train can perform a single jump to alter their course, and prevent them from falling into a bottomless pit or other hazard.

Usage[edit]

The Friend Train is used in the following stages:

Trivia[edit]

  • The train horn sound effects were created by Jun Ishikawa via himself blowing an empty energy drink bottle.[1]
  • When a Friend Train section ends, the Star Allies will come out of their formation by falling on their face and then brushing themselves off. The only exceptions are Meta Knight and Dark Meta Knight, who land on their feet and look around curiously. This also happens with Friend Circle.
