Jet Mode is one of the Robobot Armor modes. The Jet Mode transforms Kirby's mech into a free-flying jet with loads of missiles and gatling ammunition. When acquiring this mode, the armor flies off into a separate area of the stage and is controlled in a side-scrolling shooter style, moving automatically to the right. When this concludes, the armor crashes, and is not usable again. Due to its use in stages of the game, it cannot be discarded.

Other appearances[edit]
- In Kirby's Dream Buffet, the Robobot Armor's Jet Mode is depicted on a Character Treat, using the artwork from Kirby: Planet Robobot.
Trivia[edit]
- According to a Robobot Armor pop quiz, the Jet Mode cannot be used to fly back to Dream Land[1]. This is likely because it tends to crash after a short time in use.
