| “ | Star Allies Sparkler is a secret technique based on the warmth of giving hearts. The desire to save everyone in the galaxy transforms into a sparkling star... which heads straight for the final boss! | ” | — Kirby Star Allies pause screen description |
Star Allies Sparkler is a specialFriend Action inKirby Star Allies, serving as the game'sLast Battle Ability. It is accessed at the very end of theStory Mode, and is used to battleVoid Termina. It is very similar in function to theFriend Star, but bears a unique look and is used in a 3D space. The Star Allies Sparkler is formed using the power of thefour magical spears which were formerly used to seal theJamba Heart. These spears can be seen orbiting Kirby's Friend Star as it transforms into the Star Allies Sparkler.
Overview[edit]
The Star Allies Sparkler doesn't fly per-se, but it can coast along the ground during the battle. It can also jump off the ground and again in the air to avoid Void Termina's shockwave attacks, and perform a dodging maneuver. Like the Friend Star, Kirby can swap out with his other allies to change the character of the blasts being fired. A specialTeam Attack called Team Star Allies! can be utilized in multiplayer mode if all human players hold the attack button and then release at the same time.
Bullets from the Star Allies Sparkler can have the elemental power based on the rider just like theFriend Star. In addition to Blizzard, Bluster, Sizzle, Splash and Zap, someCopy Abilities and characters also have their own variants (seePower Effect#Friend Star / Star Allies Sparkler). Void Termina's Blizzard/Sizzle/Zap attack effects can be negated by the respective weakness bullets from the Star Allies Sparkler.
The Star Allies Sparkler deals moredamage the closer it is to Void Termina, but the damage of Team Star Allies! is not affected by the distance. In addition, when Void Termina's Angel Form (Phase 3) performs his "Fallen Heaven" attack while one of his weak spots is visible and able to be targeted during the attack, the Star Allies Sparkler can enter a sort-of "bullet time" when Void Termina is swooping, which slows down Void Termina's movement while increasing the fire rate and charge speed of the Star Allies Sparkler.
Of the Friend Actions available in the game, the Star Allies Sparkler is the only one that can be used without a full team of four friends, albeit only inThe Ultimate Choice.
