Make Friend is an ability thatKirby and his friends possess inKirby Star Allies. It allows them to tossFriend Hearts at enemies on the field to make them intoallies.

Overview[edit]

The power of Friend Hearts comes from the scattered pieces of "four spears of the heart" afterHyness failed in the ritual as seen in the opening movie ofKirby Star AlliesStory Mode.^[1]

This ability only works on certain enemies which provideCopy Abilities, andKirby can only have up to threeFriends at a time. If a fourth is claimed, the game will prompt the player to replace one ofKirby's existing friends with the new recruit. If tossed atBomber,Tootlebam,Noddy andWalky, they are instead turned into the hat of their respectiveCopy Ability -Crash,Festival,Sleep andMike, respectively.

To pull out a heart, the player must press theX button. From there, any enemy that can be charmed will have a small heart icon over their head whenKirby draws near. From there, to charm the enemy,Kirby must toss the heart at the enemy and hit them with it. When quickly pulling out and tossing a heart, it will automatically be arced toward a friend-able enemy's position if thrown near one.Kirby can also cause a friend to appear if he hits aCopy Essence orAbility Star with a heart, in latter case having element of said Ability Star if it had one applied to their weapon.

When an ally tosses a Friend Heart, that ally will transform into whichever enemy the heart was thrown at, instead of recruiting it as a new ally.

SomeBosses andmid-bosses are also recruitable as friends. However, before they can be recruited, they must be defeated in battle. Once they are downed, a heart can be tossed at them. Story Mode bosses likeWhispy Woods (only atFruity Forest),King Dedede, andMeta Knight can be befriended by throwing hearts at them quickly after defeated. Tossing hearts at the latter two adds them toKirby's team asDream Friends. While the others are optional,Pon & Con must be befriended to continue forward after their Story Mode boss fight.

When allies are turned into enemies by specific attacks fromMorpho Knight andVoid Termina's Final Core /Void Soul, Friend Hearts can undo that effect. In addition, though throwing a friend heart to most bosses does nothing during battle, throwing it at Void Termina's Final Core / Void Soul /Void damages them slightly.

Unfriend[edit]

Like inKirby Super Star andits remake,Kirby canunfriend his allies when he has noCopy Ability. To do so, the player should press the- button or press and hold theY button. Kirby can also unfriend his allies regardless of if he has a Copy Ability if he presses theL,R orZR button, and theY button at the same time.

Alternatively, Kirby can alsoinhale and swallow aFriend to obtain theirCopy Ability, but this has no effect onDream Friends.
