| “ | "I'm Plugg! What? Never heard of me?" Plugg has been updated to shoot plasma! He might not be well-known, but for all who couldn't join him now, he will shine brightly for all their sakes! | ” | — Guest Star Plugg Powered Up Pause Screen description inKirby Star Allies |
Plugg is an aptly named plug-like enemy that debuted inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Plugg is typically cyan in color and resembles the end of a power cord (though without the cord itself), with two prongs coming out of his head, two stubby feet, and two black dots for eyes, with no other facial features to speak of. As an enemy, Plugg attacks by jumping up and pushing his prongs into the ground, causing small electrical waves on both sides. While his attacks do minimal damage, the electrical spark it creates tends to travel a bit of a distance before dying out. As an ally, Plugg gains the ability to charge and release bursts of electricity just likePlasmaKirby, making him much more potent.

Plugg appears inKirby Air Riders as one of the route characters inSilent Side Street in theRoad Trip mode, destroyingShadowbite by plugging itself into the road, turning it into a neon path and allowing the rider to continue towardsNeon Promenade.
Trivia[edit]
- InKirby Star Allies, Plugg has a little metal screw in his back.
- It is stated in one of theDedede Directory posts fromKirby JP Twitter that the screw on Plugg's back is part of an upgrade that made him more powerful, which is also why he grants thePlasma ability inKirby Star Allies.
- Plugg's quote from hisKirby Star Allies pause caption is meant to highlight his obscure origin. InGuest Star ???? Star Allies Go!, his Japanese subtitle is忘らるる希望の光 ("Forgotten Light of Hope"), which is coincidentally similar to the Japanese title ofZan Partizanne'sboss battle theme -忘らるる閃光のライトニング ("Forgotten Flash of Lightning").
- Plugg's prongs represent aType A power plug that is used in North America and some Asian countries including Japan.
