Triple Star
| ||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||
Triple Star is theLast Battle Ability ofKirby: Squeak Squad, allowingKirby to launch up to three stars at enemies. When not being launched, the stars will orbit Kirby, and still deal damage to foes on contact. Kirby can launch the stars either straight ahead of him or upward at an angle, after which they will return to him. Kirby can also perform a spinning attack in the air using the cane itself. LikeMaster, Triple Star is not required to defeat the final boss, can be dropped, and is available to use in regular stages once the game is complete.
InKirby: Squeak Squad[edit]
InKirby: Squeak Squad, Triple Star is obtained fromDaroach (who initially uses it to battle Kirby with) on his second defeat after being freed from possession byDark Nebula. Once Kirby has obtained the ability, he chases the dark foe across an asteroid belt and then battles Dark Nebula in his true form using the Triple Star cane.
Once the game is completed, Kirby can obtain this ability from theCopy Ability Room which opens up on theWorld Hub, assuming he collected all of the Secret Map pieces from variousTreasure Chests. Triple Star can be used to solve every puzzle in the game: it can set fires, break metal blocks, remove clouds, cutropes and foliage, poundstakes, dig through dirt (cane only, not the stars) and more. Also, if Kirby loses Triple Star, theAbility Star will not break unless it falls into abottomless pit or other hazard. Notably, it is the only ability in the game which cannot be made into abubbled object.
For unknown reasons, Triple Star will not appear in the Copy Ability Room during the game'sExtra Mode, even after defeatingDark Daroach andDark Nebula.
