Jambastion

JAMBASTION


Star Allies came with one main distinctly unique location, the Jambastion, a giant space station with a curving outer wall where Lord Hyness and the Mage Sisters carried out their operations.

The stage representing this would be set on the Jambastion’s outer wall, not quite moving the way Butter Building would be, but carrying the fighters with its curve, so they get views of space and Dream Land during their fight. The stage would also have walk-off boundaries.

Jammerjab

JAMMERJAB


Last but not least, but a bit more understandably, Kirby gained the Staff ability, represented by Jammerjab, an enemy very obviously in the employ of Hyness and the Mage Sisters.

As a fighter, Jammerjab will be a bit on the average side, with long melee range. Its moveset will pull from the Staff ability.

Likelihood rating: Probably not.

Vividria

VIVIDRIA


Another newcomer in Star Allies represented the Paint ability and borrowed heavily from the designs of Drawcia and Paintra, a new painter sister named Vividria.

As a fighter, Vividria will be an echo of Paintra, if a little faster with less strength. Her moveset will pull from the same move pool as Paintra.

Likelihood rating: Probably not.

Driblee

DRIBLEE


Honestly, it’s surprising just how long it took for Kirby to get a Water ability. Even more surprising is that its representative in Star Allies, where Kirby had lots of potential allies representing certain abilities, almost all of which had appeared before, ended up being brand new. A playful seal creature named Driblee.

As a fighter, Driblee will move about on a small wave, being quick and flippy in its movements. Its moveset will pull from the Water ability.

Likelihood rating: Piranha Plant clause.

Wester

WESTER


Though Whippy has been the most standard provider of the Whip ability, a masked cowboy named Wester has provided it in a few notable appearances.

As a fighter, Wester will be quick and agile, with lots of attacks for racking up damage quickly. Its moveset will pull from the Whip ability, an echo of Whippy.

Likelihood rating: Probably not.

NESP

NESP


Another new ability in Planet Robobot was the ESP ability, provided by NESP, a little dude in a dark cloak. The ability basically turned Kirby into Ness from Smash, with lots of similar psychic-based moves.

As a fighter, NESP will be similar in that regard to Ness and Lucas, being floaty and great at ranged combat. Its moveset will pull from the ESP moveset.

 Likelihood rating: Probably not.

Clown Acrobot

CLOWN ACROBOT


Though Beetle, Bell, and Archer all got their due in Fighters and onward, the Circus ability provided by the Clown Acrobot has yet to see any time in the sun, despite being quite versatile.

As a fighter, Clown Acrobot would be bouncy and unpredictable, with fun and crazy moves hearkening back to the circus. Its moveset would pull from the Circus ability.

Likelihood rating: Never gonna happen.

Beetley

BEETLEY


Kirby Triple Deluxe had a heavy bug-related theme, so naturally, it came with a notable bug-themed copy ability, the Beetle ability, which gave him a big hercules beetle horn to attack with. The move came most from the enemy aptly named Beetley.

As a fighter, Beetley will be fast with high defense and decent strength. Its moveset will pull from all aspects of the Beetle ability.

Likelihood rating: Piranha Plant clause.

Leafan

LEAFAN


Starting in Return to Dream Land, Kirby will gain the leaf ability, which lets him hide in a pile of leaves or send a swirl of leaves out as an attack. Most often, this ability is given by Leafan, a plant bulb with sizable leaves of its own.

As a fighter, Leafan will be light and floaty, with minimal attack power. Its moveset will pull entirely from the Leaf ability in all its forms.

Likelihood rating: Probably not.

Plugg

PLUGG


Much like Hot Head and Burning Leo, Sparky tends to be the representative of the Spark ability, except when helper allies are involved, then Plugg, a living electric plug, tends to join the fray instead.

As a fighter, Plugg will be fairly durable with middling speed and a natural defense at the top of its head. It will be an echo of Sparky, its moveset pulling from the Spark and Plasma abilities.

Likelihood rating: Piranha Plant clause.

Como

COMO


Just like the Piders and the Skulltulas, what game series is complete without your token spider who drops from above on a web. This series’ variety is called the Como.

As a fighter, the Como will use lots of sticky webs to bind up its opponent, and will be adept at climbing walls. Its moveset will pull primarily from the Spider ability and the Como ally both present in Star Allies.

Likelihood rating: Probably not.

Birdon

BIRDON


A commonly recurring ability of Kirby’s is the Wing ability, which lets him fly and occasionally throw feathers like darts. This ability is most often provided by Birdon, a little pink bird with green feathers.

As a fighter, Birdon will have strong aerials and decent range. Its moveset will pull from all instances of the Wing ability throughout the series.

Likelihood rating: Piranha Plant clause.

Gim

GIM


A rarely seen enemy throughout the series is Gim, a tiny little robot camera carrying around a yo-yo, which provides Kirby with the Yo-Yo ability.

As a fighter, Gim will be a little heavier, given his metal body, but not too bad, and his moveset will pull from the Yo-Yo ability.

Likelihood rating: Probably not.

Bio Spark

BIO SPARK


Though I don’t understand the name, Bio Spark is one of the more common providers of Kirby’s ninja ability, which provides him with a katana, shurikens, and all manner of ninja standards.

As a fighter, Bio Spark will be fast and stealthy, as befits a ninja, and its moveset will pull straight from the Ninja ability.

Likelihood rating: Piranha Plant clause.

Chef Kawasaki

CHEF KAWASAKI


In rare cases, some Copy abilities can only be used once before you lose them. Aside from the already mentioned Sleep, another is Cook, which has Kirby toss all his onscreen enemies into a pot and transform them into health items. The chief giver of this ability is Chef Kawasaki, a mid-boss who would go on to be an iconic figure of the series. He'd even get a major supporting role in the anime as Cappy Town's only chef, albeit not a very good one.

As a fighter, Kawasaki will be fairly speedy and bouncy, if lacking a bit in brute strength. His moveset will pull from the Cook ability and his own abilities shown in-game and in the anime.

Likelihood rating: Good possibility.

Knuckle Joe

KNUCKLE JOE


One of the most memorable and iconic enemies in the series is a young warrior named Knuckle Joe, who attacks Kirby with a flurry of punches, and acts as the most reliable source of the Fighter ability.

As a fighter, Knuckle Joe will be fast and strong, making good use of his training. His moveset will pull directly from the Fighter ability and his own attacks.

Likelihood rating: Good possibility.

Burning Leo

BURNING LEO


Though Hot Head is the standard Fire provider, in any game with a partner mechanic, it seems to always be replaced by a fiery warrior named Burning Leo.

As a fighter, Burning Leo will be similar to Kirby in his stats, with a lot of fiery intensity behind his speed and power. It will be an echo of Hot Head, pulling its moveset likewise from the Fire ability.

Likelihood rating: Could happen.

Bonkers

BONKERS


Possibly the most recurring mini-boss in the series is the big ape Bonkers, who carries around a giant hammer and is almost always the only major provider of the Hammer ability.

As a fighter, Bonkers will be big and powerful with a surprising amount of speed. His moveset will pull from the Hammer ability in general as well as the additional aspects of his boss fights.

Likelihood rating: Could happen.

Wednesday, May 22, 2024

Bugzzy

BUGZZY


Another recurring mini-boss is the giant stag beetle Bugzzy, best known for grabbing players in his mandibles and suplexing them. He often supplies a copy ability giving Kirby the same power.

As a fighter, Bugzzy will have a lot of strength and decent aerials. His moveset will pull from the Suplex ability itself as well as other aspects of his boss battles, like the bees he sends out.

Likelihood rating: Could happen.

Rocky

ROCKY


Another common copy ability of Kirby’s is the Stone ability, which allows Kirby to transform into a rock, giving him high defense and the ability to bludgeon his enemies in various ways. This is best represented by the enemy Rocky, a small boulder with feet.

As a fighter, Rocky will be slow but strong, with high defense. His moveset will pull from all aspects of the Stone ability throughout the entire series.

Likelihood rating: Piranha Plant clause.
