Susie's Dream Friend jingle from Kirby Star Allies

 This box: view  talk  edit 
You know, it's wonderful to work in a perfectly controlled environment. But that's something you'd never understand.
— Susie in Kirby: Planet Robobot

Susie (full name Susanna Patrya Haltmann[1]) is a spry magenta-haired girl who first appeared in Kirby: Planet Robobot. She is the executive assistant and presidential secretary of the Haltmann Works Company, the primary stakeholder of the company's Mechanizing Occupation Project, and the daughter of President Haltmann, who seems to have forgotten this about her. Susie is adept with machinery, able to pilot many different robotic weapons, including a personal mech referred to as her "Business Suit", and also carries a personal blaster. Her motives are not entirely clear, but it is implied that she intends to usurp the Haltmann Works Company from her father.

In Susie's debut appearance, she was a villain and antagonist to Kirby, fighting him personally as a boss and later sending other creations of Haltmann Works after him, while also being the primary source of information about the company through her expository dialogue for most of Kirby: Planet Robobot's story. She would make a truce with Kirby and his friends after the company's mother computer went haywire and attempted to end the universe. In Kirby Star Allies, she would become a playable protagonist as one of Kirby's Dream Friends, gaining her own part in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! and Heroes in Another Dimension. It is explained in said game that she wishes to revive the Haltmann Works Company after its destruction in Kirby: Planet Robobot.

Characteristics[edit]

Susie has two distinct profiles, with the first (left) being her on her own, and the second (right) when piloting her Business Suit.

Susie is possessed of a vaguely human body shape, though like both Magolor and Taranza before her, she has disembodied hands and a large head. Her face consists only of two large completely cyan-colored eyes and blushed cheeks, with no nose or mouth to speak of. She also has long magenta hair, held on the left side by a gold clip. Her outfit seems to consist mostly of a v-neck suit with a collar that extends all the way up past her head, and also forming a hood, with a long gray skirt below, which rounds out to a vaguely boot-shaped piece on the bottom.

Despite her appearance on the box art of Kirby: Planet Robobot, Susie cannot fly or hover. Instead, she relies on a helicopter unit (referred to as a "Transporter" in Kirby Star Allies), which she summons whenever she needs to get away. Using this transporter, she is capable of performing maneuvers and attacks similar to those of the Jet Copy Ability. However, her true potential as a fighter is revealed when she dons her "Business Suit"; a large decorated robot with a pair of arms and a drill bit in place of legs that she pilots from the top. This suit is meant to serve as an analogue to Kirby's Robobot Armor, and gives Susie a number of new attack options, including spinning arm attacks, a drill bit slam, and the ability to deploy autonomous drones.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

Story Mode[edit]

Heehee... I didn't expect to see a native inhabitant all the way out here... Excuse my manners. Let me introduce myself. My name is Susie, executive assistant of the Haltmann Works Company. Pleased to make your acquaintance. Just look at this planet. Clean air, fresh water... There is a wealth of natural resources to be found here. But all of you who live in this world take that wealth for granted. Regrettable, but at any rate... Our Mechanizing Occupation Project is now under way... and your people have unfortunately been identified as...obstacles. Our most sincere condolences, and I'm sorry you had to come all this way... but I'm afraid... you must be destroyed!
— Susie before her first fight in Kirby: Planet Robobot

Susie is first encountered as the boss of Overload Ocean. Kirby sees her for the first time in the boss chamber, where she introduces herself. Here, she explains that the Haltmann Works Company came to Popstar specifically to exploit its natural resources. She declares that Kirby and his friends take their resources for granted, and this justifies her and her company in doing away with them. She then declares to Kirby that he must be destroyed, and hops into her Business Suit to fight him.

Susie is seen again at the end of Gigabyte Grounds, singing praises to her boss, President Haltmann. She then brings in Mecha Knight, a subdued and mechanized Meta Knight to attack Kirby as the boss of that realm. She later releases another monstrosity to deal with Kirby at the end of Rhythm Route, a Dedede Clone.

Susie appears again at the end of Access Ark, in the Haltmann Works executive office, using an upgraded version of Mecha Knight to attack Kirby once again. When Kirby defeats him again, Susie is then dismissed by her boss, who takes over the situation from there. After he is defeated, Susie takes the opportunity to attempt to steal the Mother Computer, Star Dream from him. This fails, however, as Star Dream itself zaps her away, and then declares its intentions to erase history. Susie, begrudgingly, offers Kirby a suit of Robobot Armor and sends him after it.

When Star Dream is finally defeated, and Planet Popstar returned to normal, Susie, along with her Business Suit, depart from the planet to an unknown fate. In Kirby Star Allies, it is explained that Susie intends to rebuild the Haltmann Works Company and become its new president.

The following lists all of Susie's attacks in Kirby: Planet Robobot.

Susie tries to spin cycle Kirby in Phase 1 of the battle.
Attacks - Phase 1
Attack Description
ドライバーフォール
Driver Slam
Susie jumps high into the air, spins her mech's arms around, then comes crashing down, leaving stars on impact.
ヘビーローテートダンス
Spin Cycle Dash
Susie charges up, then slides across the stage several times, her mech's arms spinning rapidly as she does so. She leaves behind two stars when this attack concludes.
ドライバーミサイル
Driver Missile
Susie jumps into the air, and fires four drill-shaped bolts from the bottom of her mech onto the arena, which explode shortly after landing. They can be inhaled before they explode.
Susie can do this attack from either the middle or one of the sides of the arena.
ヘビーローテート
Spin Cycle
Susie charges up, then performs a massive stationary spin attack, uprooting several stars as the attack progresses.

In this phase, Susie attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:

  1. Driver Slam
  2. Driver Slam
  3. Spin Cycle Dash
  4. Driver Missile (from center of arena)
  5. Spin Cycle
  6. Driver Slam
  7. Driver Slam
  8. Driver Missile (from side of arena)
  9. Driver Slam
  10. Driver Missile (from center of arena)
  11. Spin Cycle
  12. Driver Missile (from side of arena)
  13. Driver Slam
  14. Spin Cycle Dash
Susie detaches her mech's drones to chase Kirby in Phase 2 of the battle.

Once Susie has lost roughly two fifths of her health, she summons a large conical platform to rise in the middle of the room, changing the arena into a looping circular one.

Attacks - Phase 2
Attack Description
ドリー
Drillbit
Susie sends two drones slowly descending towards Kirby from atop the central platform, deactivating them after a short time. These can be swallowed for the Spark ability (or the Bomb ability if swallowed during the explosion).
Susie may sometimes fire drones in pairs to strike at Kirby, leaving behind stars and brief lingering flames on the ground where they strike.
  • In Japanese katakana, the word for "drill" is ドリル (doriru) for which this is a romanization for its shorthand ドリ (dori). It can also be seen in the Japanese name for Drill Cotta.
タワー・ヘビーローテート
Tower Spin Cycle
Susie attaches to the side of the platform, and then performs a whirling spin dash several times, tracing a spiral down the platform, and leaving stars when the attack concludes on the ground.
ドライバーフォール
Driver Slam
Susie deploys two drones, then hops down to the ground level, while the drones do the same. Then all three entities hop around the stage in synchronicity. The drones can be destroyed, though they are fairly durable. Susie deactivates the drones at the end of this attack, causing them to explode and leave one Star and fire on the ground.

In this phase, Susie attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:

  1. Drillbit
  2. Drillbit (launched from Business Suit) x2
  3. Tower Spin Cycle
  4. Driver Slam
  5. Drillbit (launched from Business Suit)
  6. Drillbit (launched from Business Suit)
  7. Tower Spin Cycle
  8. Drillbit
  9. Drillbit (launched from Business Suit) x2
  10. Driver Slam
  11. Tower Spin Cycle
Susie crashes through the platform in Phase 3 of the battle.

When Susie's health is roughly down to one-fifth, she causes the central platform's panels to unscrew and open up, revealing a large brass cavity in the middle. From here, she attempts to strike at Kirby through this hole.

Attacks - Phase 3
Attack Description
タワー・ストライク
Tower Strike
Susie sends her mech flying through the hole in the central platform, crashing into the other side, and leaving stars on impact. This also causes damaging shockwaves to appear and spread out on both sides of her.
ドリー
Drillbit
Susie fires several drones in pairs through the central platform to strike at Kirby. They leave stars and lingering flames on the ground where they strike.
タワー・ストライクボルト
Tower Strike Bolt
Susie sends her mech flying through static electricity in the hole in the central platform, crashing into the other side, and leaving stars on impact. This also causes damaging shockwaves to appear and spread out on both sides of her.

In this phase, Susie attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:

  1. Tower Strike
  2. Tower Strike
  3. Drillbit x2
  4. Tower Strike Bolt
  5. Tower Strike Bolt
  6. Tower Strike Bolt
  7. Drillbit x2
  8. Drillbit x2
  9. Tower Strike Bolt
  10. Tower Strike Bolt
  11. Tower Strike Bolt
  12. Drillbit
  13. Tower Strike

Once Susie is defeated, her mech explodes, leaving her unarmed. She gets up calmly, brushes dust off herself, scoffs, and summons a small helicopter device to carry her away, laughing as she disappears. This leaves Kirby to do his dance, and proceed to the next level.

Susie 2.0[edit]

As a child, Sue[sic] was involved in an accident during a Mother Computer experiment and went missing. Why has she joined the company after all this time? Her full name is Susanna Patrya Haltmann.

— vs Susie 2.0 Pause Screen description (British version)
Susie 2.0
Susie 2.0 attacks Kirby with a spin.
Susie 2.0 fires some long-range drones at Kirby.
Kirby evades the many drones raining from the sky.

Like most other bosses in the game, Susie has a 2.0 variant, which is fought in Meta Knightmare Returns and The True Arena. Susie herself does not change her look at all; her Business Suit, on the other hand, now has more elaborately decorated yellow/pink patterns, and the Haltmann Works Co. logo is replaced with a heart. The back exhaust pipes are larger and more triangular, causing the suit to resemble a cat's face from the back.

Most of her attacks move at a higher speed than in her regular iteration. The following lists all of Susie 2.0's attacks in Meta Knightmare Returns and The True Arena. Note that attacks that appear in multiple phases are only listed once:

Attacks - 2.0
Attack Description
ドライバーフォール
Driver Slam
Susie 2.0 jumps high into the air, spins her mech's arms around, then comes crashing down, leaving stars on impact, before doing it twice more.
In phase 2, Susie 2.0 deploys four drones, then hops down to the ground level, while the drones do the same. Then all five entities hop around the stage in synchronicity for three sets. In this mode, the final jump will be performed backwards. The drones can be destroyed, though they are fairly durable. Susie 2.0 deactivates the drones at the end of this attack, causing them to explode and leave one Star and fire on the ground.
ドライバーミサイル
Driver Missile
Susie 2.0 jumps into the air, and fires several drill-shaped bolts from the bottom of her mech onto the arena, which explode shortly after landing. They can be inhaled or destroyed before they explode. She may fire multiple waves of them. This attack can be performed from either the middle or one of the sides of the arena.
ヘビーローテートダンス
Spin Cycle Dash
Susie 2.0 charges up, then slides across the stage several times, her mech's arms spinning rapidly as she does so. She leaves behind two stars when this attack concludes.
ヘビーローテート
Spin Cycle
Susie 2.0 charges up, then performs a massive spin attack, uprooting several stars as the attack progresses, while slightly moving in one direction and then the other.
ドリー
Drillbit
Susie 2.0 fires six drones in pairs to strike at Kirby or Meta Knight, leaving behind stars and brief lingering flames on the ground where they strike. In phase 2 exclusively, she may also just send four drones slowly descending towards Kirby or Meta Knight from atop the central platform, deactivating them after a short time. These can be swallowed for the Spark ability (or the Bomb ability if swallowed during the explosion).
タワー・ヘビーローテート
Tower Spin Cycle
Susie attaches to the side of the platform, and then performs a whirling spin dash several times, and leaving stars when the attack concludes on the ground. She goes from bottom to top first, flies into the air, and repeats this attack from top to bottom.
キックオフパーティー
Kickoff Party
Attack exclusive to Susie 2.0, directly taken from President Haltmann's similar attack. Susie 2.0 fires a multitude of drones, which bombard the arena in a large wave. These drones can be destroyed. As the drones fall, Susie 2.0 fires a pair of them through the central platform in an attempt to hit Kirby or Meta Knight.
タワー・ストライクボルト
Tower Strike Bolt
Susie sends her mech flying through static electricity in the hole in the central platform. After doing it three times in a row, she flies through and crashes into the other side, leaving stars on impact. This also causes large damaging shockwaves to appear and spread out on both sides of her.
タワー・ストライク
Tower Strike
Susie sends her mech flying through the hole in the central platform. After doing it twice in a row, she flies through and crashes into the other side, leaving stars on impact. This also causes damaging shockwaves to appear and spread out on both sides of her.

  1. Driver Slam
  2. Driver Missile (from center of arena)
  3. Spin Cycle Dash

Susie's Dream Friend trailer
The exterminator will see you now! No mere secretary, Susie from Kirby: Planet Robobot is capable of corporate restructuring. She's all business with her Business Suit on, so schedule a meeting and see what she can do!
— Story Mode, The Ultimate Choice and Heroes in Another Dimension pause screen caption for Susie
"The company he built... I will bring it back!"
Cool and collected, Susie from Kirby: Planet Robobot is all business. Following in the footsteps of her employer, she uses science to advance her mission—mechanizing new planets and peoples.

— Guest Star Susie pause screen description

Susie makes her playable debut as a Dream Friend in version 4.0.0 of Kirby Star Allies. Her moveset 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 midair jump and being capable of clearing away heavier obstacles such as chains, stakes 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. 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 Power Effects, adding to her arsenal and creating several distinct attacks which resemble the Robobot Armor modes.

Cameos[edit]

Susie also makes some cameo appearances elsewhere in this title:

  • Vividria and Artist Kirby have a rare chance to create a statue of a "goddess" with Susie's head on top from the Sculpture attack.
  • One of the Stone ability transformations in the base game has a golden statue of Susie and Ribbon, both girls originally with pink hair.
  • Starting with version 4.0.0, another statue of Susie with a stand microphone is a possible Stone transformation.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

Susie appears as a Support Spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. She is ranked ★★ Advanced, costs 1 slot and has the skill of equipping the fighter with a Beam Sword. Her Spirit Battle in Adventure Mode and Spirit Board features Isabelle possessed by her and Meta Knight in metal form, which references Isabelle being also a secretary in the Animal Crossing series and Meta Knight modified into Mecha Knight in Kirby: Planet Robobot. Susie is also one of the Spirits who can unlock the gate of the Base on the Light Realm map, possibly thanks to her technical skills.

Other appearances[edit]

Though not appearing directly in these games, Susie is referenced in the following titles:

Etymology[edit]

Susie's name is derived from the Japanese word for digit,「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.[2]

Profiles[edit]

Susie's profile in Japanese

Kirby: Planet Robobot UK electronic manual[edit]

  • "A mysterious woman working as the assistant to the president of Haltmann Works Co. As the commander of the invading army, she's a force to reckoned with."

Kirby: Planet Robobot Japanese Website[edit]

  • Job: Executive assistant / presidential secretary. (Commander/stakeholder of the invasion project.)
  • Experience: Unknown. (Earned her position through difficult trials, under mysterious circumstances.)
  • Hobbies: Karaoke, piano. (Performs special recitals for the President.)
  • Favorite food: Ice cream. (Ordered her subordinates to build an ice cream factory.)
  • Treasure: A golden hair clip with the letter H on it. (Always wears it at work, and every day...)

Play Nintendo[edit]

Susie’s going to show you who’s boss!
The Executive Assistant for the Haltmann Works Company has to juggle a lot of responsibilities. Susie’s in charge of scheduling meetings, screening calls, and of course, leading the plan to completely mechanize Planet Popstar.

Trivia[edit]

  • It is heavily implied in-game, and was later explicitly confirmed by Shinya Kumazaki, that Susie is President Haltmann's daughter.[3] She was separated from him many years ago after an accident with the Mother Computer. The President attempted to use Star Dream to bring her back, but it also stole his memories of her in the process, so by the time she returned to him, he no longer had any memories of her.[4]
    • Her middle name references this fact. In Japanese, it's "Familiar"; in English, it's "Patrya" (derived from the Latin word "patria", feminine form of "patrius", meaning "fatherly"); and in Spanish, it's "Dinasty", (derived from the English word "dynasty", meaning a series of rulers in a family).
  • After the release of Kirby: Planet Robobot, Susie was often used as a sort of presenter character when HAL Laboratory made statements regarding the Kirby series on social media. This was most evident on the Kirby JP Twitter. Later, her Twitter presenter role was passed to The Three Mage-Sisters from Kirby Star Allies (which she is implied to hold a grudge over), and then more concretely to the Channel PPP Crew.
  • Susie 2.0's pause screen description refers to her as "Sue" in the American English version. It is likely that this was a localization error, as she is not referred to as Sue anywhere else, and most other versions correct her name to Susie.

  1. "As a child, Sue[sic] was involved in an accident during a Mother Computer experiment and went missing. Why has she joined the company after all this time? Her full name is Susanna Patrya Haltmann." -Pause screen description for Susie 2.0
  2. "The naming comes from a word “digit” [“suuji” in Japanese] as a symbol of a company which uses technology as a weapon. Also, I wanted to choose a real female name if possible. Susie is used overseas as a nickname and the name fits precisely with the setting of the story, so it was chosen. Initially we had candidates like “Beatrice” and “Melissa” for the name of a mysterious woman."Shinya Kumazaki (Nintendo Everything)
  3. "Susie is not a clone; she is Haltmann’s real daughter. I’d had in mind two story paths - one in which you finish the game and the story concludes comfortably even without knowing Susie’s identity, and one that reveals more answers after you sink a lot of time into the game. But in Planet Robobot, the story is designed with just a small twist to surprise you when you find out Susie’s last name." –Shinya Kumazaki (Kirby: Planet Robobot Behind the Scenes on Miiverse)
  4. "In order to control Star Dream, you need a program controller on your head to have it directly interface with your brain. Haltmann may have suspected memory loss from the beginning, or it may have been an unknown side effect… But the fact is that he started losing his memories bit by bit. This tells you just how incomplete Star Dream really was. Later, after Susie grew up and came back, Haltmann sensed something about her and made her his assistant, but at that time he had completely forgotten that he’d even had a daughter to begin with." –Shinya Kumazaki (Kirby: Planet Robobot Behind the Scenes on Miiverse)
