Summary

Adeleine, or Ado for short, is a character from the Kirby series. She is a gifted young human girl artist who came to Planet Popstar to study art.

She first appears as a boss, attacking Kirby by painting various old bosses to attack him. She later befriended Kirby and assists him on his adventures by painting him a 1UP, various food, and hints for some puzzles that should obtain Kirby a Crystal Shard.

Resistances to:

As before,

Resistances to:

Her creations have or allow her to have the following powers:

As before (Her paintings have gotten even better.[8] "The power of her drawings" "has become even more powerful"[9]), on top of the following:

As before,


Attack Potency: Below Average Human level physically (Can only slightly harm Kirby while getting knocked out herself. Presumably as weak as a regular, young human), Varies up to Large Planet level via Subjective Reality (Anything she paints becomes real,[11] including inanimate objects and minor enemies that should be comparable to Waddle Dees in strength. The strongest beings she paints can put up somewhat of a fight against Pre-Canvas Curse Kirby.[2] Would become a Dream Friend later in her life, which were implied to "include those who were once Kirby's powerful enemies"[12]) | Continent level physically (Can harm and defeat minor enemies such as Knuckle Joes, and stronger beings such as mini-bosses. While this includes beings on the same level as Void Termina, the damage Adeleine generates is rather low, and she was stated to not be as powerful as her paintings/not being confident in her physical strength, unlike her drawing abilities[13]), Varies up to Low Multiverse level via Subjective Reality (Her paintings have gotten even better,[8] and were implied to be "even more powerful" than Artist Kirby's[9]; Her creations can be used to assist Kirby & two fellow Star Allies in the defeat of Void Termina, Corrupt Hyness, the Retaliators Three Mage-Sisters [at once], Morpho Knight EX and the stronger incarnations of Void Termina), can ignore durability with Friend Hearts, and likely via freezing attacks

Speed: Massively FTL+ (Can join the Star Allies who chased and kept up with Jamba Heart pieces multiple times, which were suddenly scattered across the galaxy from its edge. While there are a few characters with means of a slightly superior Travel Speed, all Star Allies show a comparable Travel, Reaction & Combat Speed, notable ones being Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Gooey, Marx, Ribbon, Magolor, and the Three Mage-Sisters. Can react riding a Friend Star for travel & in combat, when that vehicle is made by the energies & "the collective power of Kirby and Friends",[14] whereas a regular Warp Star can be made by a lone Kirby. Kirby & 3 Star Allies kept up in combat & defeated the Three Mage-Sisters, Hyness, and Void Termina, who in turn was able to keep up with an improved version of the Warp Star or the Friend Star, which Adeleine can maneuver in combat.[1] In side content, 4 Star Allies can defeat Morpho Knight EX, the stronger incarnations of Void Termina.[15] The attack speed of her Crystal Gun should be comparable to an incomplete Cystal, which repeatedly flew from planet to planet in short periods of time)

Lifting Strength: Below Average Human | Peak Human (Can carry up to 3 Star Allies lining up above her without being slowed down or hindering her mobility, even if the first one jumps away[1]), possibly Multi-Stellar (Same reasoning as her durability. Can survive harmed pressure-based attacks like Void Termina's Bon Appetit or Marx's Black Hole,[7] and manage to pull herself into the opposite direction on ground or air when in the weaker ranges of those moves, which affect the likes of Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede and Bandana Waddle Dee in the same way.[1] Can survive harmed a Black Hole from Magolor[note 1]) to Universal (If Post-Magolor Epilogue Magolor is correct about the potency of his Black Hole. Same reasoning as her durability)

Striking Strength: Below Average Human level, up to Large Planet level via Subjective Reality | Continent level physically (See her AP), up to Low Multiverse level via Subjective Reality (See her AP)

Durability: Below Average Human level (Kirby can defeat her with any attack, knocks herself out if she succeeds in hitting Kirby. Presumably as durable as a regular, young human), Varies up to Large Planet level for her paintings (See her AP. Her strongest creations can take several hits from Kirby) | At least Continent level (Same reasoning as her AP), likely Low Multiverse level physically (Can survive attacks from Void Termina, Corrupt Hyness, the Retaliator Three Mage-Sisters, Morpho Knight EX, and the stronger incarnations of Void Termina; Adeleine has the lowest health out of all the most powerful Star Allies. Official artwork shows her unconcerned while around an electric attack from the Retaliator Zan Partizanne[1]), Varies up to Low Multiverse level for her paintings

Stamina: Below Average. Gets defeated & tossed away after attacking Kirby, even when the latter doesn't attack her | Superhuman. 4 of any Star Ally can complete an adventure of several levels and bosses without any notable rest, ultimately defeating Zan Partizanne, Hyness (2 phases), and Void Termina (4 phases) one after another[1]

Range: Below Standard Melee Range physically, higher with drawings

Standard Equipment: Paintbrush, canvas | As before, Ribbon and a Crystal Gun. A floaty[1]

  • Optional Equipment: None | Maxim Tomato, various food items, Dream Rod, Friend Star, Star Allies Sparkler and Power-Up Hearts
  • Can Create/Summon: Items and creatures to assist her in battle | As before and a Friend Star

Intelligence: Below Average. If her creatures fail to defeat Kirby she will attack him herself in anger. Smart enough to use her powers to create healing items for Kirby during an adventure | As before with vast combat skills. A more active combatant, if keeping her distance and mostly fighting via her creations. During an adventure, she's smart enough to use her powers to create healing food items for herself & allies, keys that may open doors, and items that boost stats. Able to contend with, and defeat, Meta Knight, Hyness, Void Termina, Morpho Knight, Parallel Meta Knight, and the Retaliators Three Mage-Sisters[1]

Weaknesses: Standard human weaknesses (Beyond the fantasy aspects of her character). Is very young

Notable Attacks/Techniques

Note that there is no distinction between her keys in this section yet.

  • Space Jump: A technique most Kirby characters have, Adeleine transforms into a small ball of energy which turns out to be intangible, she uses this power to mobilize herself or regroup with mates faster. Any carried item is transformed too, as proven by other users of Space Jump[16]..
  • Friend Heart: Obtained in Kirby Star Allies, Adeleine generates a Friend Heart which is then quickly thrown to his objective(s). This can be done an unlimited amount of times as well as repeatedly. Upon contact or near it, the Friend Heart will generate a major change in the empathy of the being(s) affected to the point of making them change their morality towards being friends & allies with Adeleine. The Friend Hearts have also shown to make feel objectives extremely happy, make them have a deep appreciation for the one who used a Friend Heart on them, generate clothes in others, work on robots, heal & purify others, operate without making direct contact to others' bodies as well as affect more than one being at a time. Friend Hearts were also shown either creating or turning small areas they reached into Friend Platforms (Creation or Transmutation), an ability any Star Ally may possess, but no character in Star Allies uses Friend Hearts in this manner or were aware that this happened. The last function the Friend Hearts have is that their sentient targets will immediately be bestowed with the ability the generate and use Friend Hearts with all previously mentioned characteristics.
  • Positive Energy Manipulation: Called "positive energy" in America and left nameless & vague in the original version. It refers to the energies Star Allies manipulate while doing Friend Actions and Team Attacks; The white energy with colorful stars around recognized as "a mysterious power,"[17] which may trigger with a heart-shaped wave. What exactly positive energy is is a bit vague, but it's related to friendship and companionship, and should be the opposite of "negative energy" (American name)/ "substance of darkness"[18] (Original name. Since it can be translated as "dark matter," it is not to be confused with Dark Matter), which is conformed by, or related to, hatred, obsession, jealousy, desire,[19] and may be invisible[20] (Hyness says the Jamba Heart "is now being filled," but we don't see it being filled with physical things at the time). In short, they are[18] opposite[21] types of energies that respectively relate to morally good, healthy attitudes and evil, unhealthy attitudes. The use of positive energy allows Star Allies to form certain energy-based moves, power up attacks, and use certain abilities in the first place. The Star Allies' every move is filled with positive energy, considering how Void, a being born from darkness,[22][19] died emanating positive energy,[21] having been defeated with all kinds of moves by the Star Allies, not just moves that visually display this energy.
  • Friend Ability: Powers the Star Allies could use in Star Allies, they were bestowed to them due to being reached by a Friend Heart (be it by another ally, or off-screen from one of the many that scattered in space, much like it happened to Kirby) since these are new powers they had already had[23] when playable. The ability to bestow elemental abilities to fellow Star Allies, and their use of certain collaborative techniques, are also Friend Abilities. They all use the previously mentioned "positive energy."
    • Friend Action: They all supposedly need 4 allies in total to be done and, gameplay wise, a special platform to be used; This are only Game Mechanics, the narrative seems to indicate the Star Allies Sparkler to have been made by the Star Allies without mentioning said platform, Hyness can use his own version of the Friend Circle without it, even when using 3 woods as his partners, and the Three Mage-Sisters themselves can use a Friend Circle on their own too.
      • Friend Circle: The friends form a donut circle by holding each other, then they constantly roll forward while being coordinated enough to make jumps while they advance. They use this to travel faster on stages and power through minor enemies instead of bothering to deal with them with their moves.
      • Friend Star: Through their collective power, the friends use energies from their bodies that combine to create a Friend Star, much like how Kirby alone can create a Warp Star, the Friend Star is basically a better version of it. One drives while the others are behind sustained by nothing but the energies generated by the Friend Star, they can change driver mid-use. They can fly around with the vehicle, do spin attacks, and shoot projectiles which can be charged and have different attributes depending on the leading friend's ability (ice, wind, fire, water, electricity, cutting properties or explosives).
      • Friend Bridge: The friends hold each other in a line to form a bridge, which they can move up or down. They likely use some form of telekinesis to hold themselves too as energies go around them and they don't reach each other perfectly. They only use this for puzzle solving.
      • Friend Train: Using their powers the leading friend gets a train chimney created in their head, while the other friends line up behind. The train continuously runs forward powering through minor enemies, they can jump, travel up walls, across ceilings, and over the surface of the water (it can't jump while on a wall or ceiling).
      • Star Allies Sparkler: A Friend Star combined with the 4 Heart Spears, see the section of Optional Equipment for more info.
  • Revival Spell: A technique that, depending on the game, either resurrects dead allies or merely heals them from being defeated & unconscious. Both uses are applied to their users as they are doing the same process over what seems to be the same spell given the same name. Initially appearing in the Team Kirby Clash mini-game, the Kirbys there could approach others Kirbys and revive them when being defeated, which meant falling into the floor with their souls leaving their bodies. On the Team Kirby Clash Deluxe & Super Kirby Clash games the Kirbys there could even obtain items to improve their ability to resurrect others. Before the latter game, in Kirby Star Allies, every playable character became able to "Revive" defeated allies, but these defeated allies don't lose their souls and it's notable how some are still breathing.
  • Team Attack: In Star Allies when piggybacking an ally or more, they can briefly charge energy to shoot an energy beam. The more allies charging energy the more powerful the attack will be.

Optional Equipment

Heals all of his health when eaten.

Heal varying amounts of his health.

When collected, Adeleine becomes invincible for a short time, and almost any enemy she touches will be instantly defeated, or at least damaged.

When picked up and used Adeleine summons one of the following Dream Friends to assist her, some options coming in as a small team:

The Final Weapon in Star Allies, used to take out Void Termina. The Star Allies Sparkler fires projectiles from the tip, fly around quickly and efficiently, and spin counterclockwise to avoid all damage on a relative scale (Sparkler Turn). Kirby canonically took the lead in the center of the Sparkler while his friends rode in the tail. Still, the leader can be rotated to imbue the shots with a different element depending on the leader (the technique is called Rider Switch). The Sparkler can fire different homing projectiles with varying power depending on charge time. An uncharged shot is called the Sparkler Comet, and it fires a star-shaped projectile. A charged shot is called the Sparkler Starshot, and it fires a projectile shaped like two intertwining stars. The strongest attack is called Team Star Allies!, which, if everyone who's riding charges together and releases at the same time, fires a giant laser at the opponent. Adeleine uses this item on her own when used in The Ultimate Choice of Star Allies.

Used to increase his statistics. The effects are shared with allies.

  • Speed Power-Up Hearts: Increases speed.
  • Health Power-Up Hearts: Increases & heals all health.
  • Attack Power-Up Hearts: Increases attack potency.
  • All Power-Up Hearts: Gives all previous effects at once.

Note: Kirby's Dream Land 3 presents a character named Ado, and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards presents Adeleine, both being very similar. Whether or not Adeleine and Ado are the same character is consistently left intentionally unclear and unknown[24] across supplementary material.[25] However, since official compilation images of the character omit Ado from Dream Land 3, it's safer to assume that they're not the same character. (To be specific, they were the same character at first, the character was not used for many years, and then the narrative around their identity was changed, in such a way that retconned her identity.)
