Dragoon



Dragoon is an incredibly powerful item from Kirby: Air Ride. In order to use Dragoon, one must find all three pieces of it (Dragoon Part A, Dragoon Part B, and Dragoon Part C). Once the player has collected all three pieces, they can aim the Dragoon from off-screen, and then charge through where they aimed, but it is still possible to miss the opponent if they manage to avoid it. If a character is hit, the result is 42% damage and almost always a one hit KO. Characters can attack each other to force the other player to drop the piece they have; a character can also lose a piece by being knocked out. The item will automatically charge after a certain amount of time; however, it can be fired at will before this point by pressing the A button. The chance of Dragoon Parts appearing is predetermined when the match begins, and once all three parts are in play, Smash Balls will not appear until they have been used. Some attacks with Super Armour can get hit by the Dragoon, but not flinch(eg. Ike's Aether). The item comes from Kirby Air Ride, in which the Dragoon had to be constructed in a similar manner. It is one of two legendary vehicles, the other being Hydra. The Dragoon is known for its flight abilities.

After firing, the Dragoon parts no longer appear.

Dragoon Parts


Dragoon Part A is the nose of the Dragoon; Part B, the body; and finally, Part C, its tail.

Trivia
If a character is Star KOed while possessing a Dragoon Part, the part will fall back onto the stage after a few seconds.

Trophy Info
''An attack-capable Air Ride machine you can assemble by combining parts A, B, and C. You can knock off parts held by foes in combat, so stealing parts is something that's sure to occur. In Kirby Air Ride, you control legendary machines, but the Dragoon not only towers above all others in terms of speed, it is also able to fly.''
