| “ | 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 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.
Boss Battle[edit]
| “ | Executive assistant to the president of the Haltmann Works Company. While her job title is "secretary," she is the stakeholder of the ongoing invasion project. | ” | — Kirby: Planet Robobot Pause Screen description |
The following lists all of Susie's attacks in Kirby: Planet Robobot.
| 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:

Once Susie has lost roughly two fifths of her stamina, 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's drones detach from her mech and home in on Kirby. These can be swallowed for the Spark ability (or Bomb ability if swallowed during explosion). Susie may sometimes fire several drones in pairs to strike at Kirby, leaving behind stars and brief lingering flames on the ground where they strike.
|
| 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. |
In this phase, Susie attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:
- Drillbit
- Drillbit (launched from Business Suit) x2
- Tower Spin Cycle
- Driver Slam
- Drillbit (launched from Business Suit)
- Drillbit (launched from Business Suit)
- Tower Spin Cycle

When Susie's stamina has been roughly fifthed, 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:
- Tower Strike
- Tower Strike
- Drillbit x2
- Tower Strike Bolt
- Tower Strike Bolt
- Tower Strike Bolt
- Drillbit x2
- Drillbit x2

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 (American version) |
| “ | Susie went missing when she was a child, when an experiment with the Mother Computer went horribly wrong. 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) |
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. 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. In phase 2, 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 up first, flies into the air, and repeats this attack from top to bottom. |
| 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 |
In phase 2, Susie 2.0's drones detach from her mech and home in on Kirby or Meta Knight. These can be swallowed for the Spark ability (or Bomb ability if swallowed during explosion). She may also just send the drones slowly descending towards Kirby or Meta Knight from atop the central platform, deactivating them after a short time. In phase 3, Susie 2.0 fires several drones in pairs through the central platform to strike at Kirby or Meta Knight. They leave stars and lingering flames for a short time on the ground where they strike. |
| 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, and 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, and leaving stars on impact. This also causes damaging shockwaves to appear and spread out on both sides of her. |

Kirby Star Allies[edit]
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 move-set 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 mid-air 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. The Japanese version is 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！」 ("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 has some cameo appearances 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.
- Another statue of Susie with a stand microphone was added to the Stone transformations in Version 4.0.0.
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:
- Team Kirby Clash Deluxe - The "Susian Bolt Blade" and "Haltonium Helm" for Sword Hero Kirby is based on Susie and her Business Suit. It is only available to players who have Kirby: Planet Robobot StreetPass data on their Nintendo 3DS system.

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.
Etymology[edit]
Susie's name is derived from the Japanese word for digit,「数字」(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]
Trivia[edit]
- It is heavily implied in-game, and confirmed by Shinya Kumazaki[3], that Susie is President Haltmann's daughter, but 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. In Japanese, it's "Familiar", while it's "Patrya" in English (derived from "patriarch", meaning "father").
- 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.
