You'd think Soarar is in another stratosphere, but he's actually a rather approachable sort. If he starts attacking, however, best to just get out of his way. I mean it. Run!
Soarar is a yellow orange flying wedge-shaped creature who frequently appears as a minorenemy in theKirby series. First appearing inKirby & The Amazing Mirror, he is a relatively common sight in the air in the games he appears in, usually flying in straight and slightly diagonal paths at a modest pace. He mainly attacks by collision, and may swoop in from the background, though he could also shoot projectiles inKirby & The Amazing Mirror. Soarar is usually a minor feature in whatever games he appears in, but has a more outsized role in bothKirby Mass Attack andKirby and the Rainbow Curse. Soarar is fairly easy to defeat and can be inhaled, but provides no ability if swallowed.
Its name is derived from "soarer", another word for "sailplane".
Soarar debuted in this game, where he flies through the air, often flying in circles. His methods of attack include running intoKirby or shooting small purple lasers. However, he does not provide Kirby with any Copy Ability, even though his lasers might indicate he gives theLaser ability. Soarar is defeated rather easily, as oneAir Bullet is enough to take this enemy down.
Soarar reappears inKirby: Canvas Curse. He acts almost in the same manner as in the first game, but rarely shoots lasers. In Paint Panic, a Soarar can appear as one ofPaint Roller's paintings.
Soarar appears again inKirby Mass Attack. Here, Soarars are typically seen flying in straight lines, carryingFruit and other goodies. Standard Soarars are harmless in this game, but there is a gray variant calledMono Soarar which will attempt to divebomb the Kirbys and deal them damage. Soarars are also involved in a minigame that involves the Kirbys attempting to collect fruit cards. When they collect a fruit card, they are awarded with fruit that fills the meter. If they collect a Soarar card, then Mono Soarars attempt to bombard them. This minigame first appears in Level 7 ofGreen Grounds. ABig Soarar andSmall Soarars also make an appearance in this game.
Soarar makes his first 3D appearance inKirby: Triple Deluxe. He acts in a similar manner to a Cerulean, flying in set paths after Kirby or King Dedede. He will often fly between the foreground and background to hit his target.
Soarar makes an appearance in some stages ofDedede's Drum Dash Deluxe as a course hazard. Here he tends to fly in from the background at various points, causing a penalty ifKing Dedede collides with him.
Soarar reappears inKirby and the Rainbow Curse. He is often seen flying in wide arcs or on straight paths. He almost always trails items behind him as he moves, with one in particular trailing aTreasure chest inUp the Big Ol' Tree. Defeating Soarar is worth 100 points and 3Point Stars.
Inthis title, Soarar's job is to fly in a straight line or to home in on Kirby at a modest pace. He is worth the same amount of points as any other enemy when defeated.
