HAL Laboratory's 1995 Game Boy sequel brought the copy abilities from Kirby's Adventure to the handheld and then added three animal companions who change how those powers work. Rick the hamster, Kine the fish, and Coo the owl each carry Kirby through specific terrain, and combining them with an ability creates new attacks, and each friend has its own movement perk, such as Rick running across ice without slipping.
The story begins with the Rainbow Islands' bridges being stolen, with King Dedede apparently behind it. Collecting the seven Rainbow Drops, hidden in each world and often requiring a specific animal and ability combination, unlocks the true ending and the real villain, Dark Matter. The game also supported the Super Game Boy with a custom border and color palette. With seven copy abilities and three friends, there are 21 combinations to discover, which gives the deceptively easy platforming a strong collect-everything hook. Kirby's Dream Land 3 on the Super NES continued the story.
