 Both Coo and Kine, the animal friends, will be used a few times in this game. Rick unfortunately is notoriously terrible in this game and it's very hard to include him in the any% segment. Coo is the fastest animal friend in the game, so in theory you are gonna wanna keep the bird as long as possible until you are at a point where his size gets in the way. <br/> |  Both Coo and Kine, the animal friends, will be used a few times in this game.

 When starting out, I heavily recommend abusing the fact that this is the only Kirby game in the series that keeps both your ability and animal friend after a soft reset. If you mess up and no longer have Coo and if you don't know a backup, you can soft reset and improve on it later. Another thing I recommend beginners use during runs is the HP you can obtain through goal games. More on both of these in the [[KDL2:Mechanics and Tech|Mechanics and Tech]] section.<br/> |  When starting out, I heavily recommend abusing the fact that this is the only Kirby game in the series that keeps both your ability and animal friend after a soft reset.

When learning the game, you can use soft resetting as a way to quickly go back to whatever animal friend or ability you had when you started a level if you lose one or the other. Also it is recommended to use a new save file for learning as boss stages in this game cannot be replayed as they become bonus stages. If you are on a platform that doesn't support save states you can soft reset (or turn the game off) immediately after a boss is killed to keep retrying the boss to practice.<br/> | |||
