'''''Kirby Star Allies''''' is a [[Kirby (series)|main-series ''Kirby'' game]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]] released in 2018, making it the first main-series release on a home console since ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' in 2011. It is a side-scrolling platformer game with three-dimensional visuals that succeeds the [[Nintendo 3DS]] titles of ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' in general style, though it takes on its own set of features and attributes. In place of a special power-up or vehicle specifically for [[Kirby]], ''Kirby Star Allies'' features extensive [[multiplayer]] co-op, allowing Kirby to recruit allies from [[Helper|various on-stage enemies]] or summon [[Dream Friend|special partners]] from the [[Dream Palace]]s. With the aid of these partners, Kirby can then perform [[Friend Ability|combination moves]], including some special transformations that can only be done with a full party of four. | '''''Kirby Star Allies''''' is a [[Kirby (series)|main-series ''Kirby'' game]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]] released in 2018, making it the first main-series release on a home console since ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' in 2011.

Upon the defeat of his finest general, the wizard (whose name is revealed as [[Hyness]]) turns and faces Kirby himself. After kicking his own general out of the way, Hyness proceeds to deliver a crazed rant at Kirby, blaming his kind for the woes that fell upon him, and reasserting his desire to awaken his dark god. He battles Kirby, but shortly into the fight, his hood gets knocked off, revealing his true face. From there, he uses the inanimate bodies of the Three Mage-Sisters as projectiles to fight Kirby with, his mad power proving difficult to overcome. Kirby ultimately beats Hyness, but this only forces the cornered officiant to resort to drastic measures. He sacrifices the Mage-Sisters, and then himself by plunging all of them into the heart, mending it completely and causing it to awaken. | Upon the defeat of his finest general, the wizard (whose name is revealed as [[Hyness]]) turns and faces Kirby himself.

''Kirby Star Allies'' is an action platformer, styled after previous games in the main series, greatly resembling ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' in its art style, but in HD. The central premise of the game revolves around [[Kirby]]'s ability to toss hearts at enemies to [[Make Friend|befriend]] them and turn into allies in the vein of the [[Helper]]s from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. Collecting certain friends will allow Kirby to solve various puzzles, and perform combo attacks called [[Friend Ability|Friend Abilities]]. These attacks include combining [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]], as well as performing special moves with friends. Once Friends are acquired, they can either be controlled by the CPU or controlled by additional players. In the stages, Kirby and his friends can collect [[Picture Piece]]s | ''Kirby Star Allies'' is an action platformer, styled after previous games in the main series, greatly resembling ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' in its art style, but in HD.
