(There are some enemies that Kirby cannot swallow or cannot be defeated.)

When he has special powers, watch out! While with Coo, Kirby can't swallow and fly at the same time. Defeat the mini-boss who is on guard. When the friend comes out of the bag, you can go with him. When the friend's life meter runs out, he'll disappear, but you can continue the game. In some cases, it's better to let your friends go. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 14 WHEN YOU HAVE A FRIEND WITH YOU...
