WiKirby: it's a wiki, about Kirby!

Skits (title screen animations)[1] refer to a series of short animations featuring Kirby, Friends and Dream Friends, which are performed in the title, file select and mode select menus in Kirby Star Allies.

As of Version 3.0.0, there were 82 different skit patterns, 18 of which were added in Version 3.0.0.[1]

As of Version 4.0.0, there are 117 different skit patterns, 35 of which were added in Version 4.0.0.[2]

Not all skit patterns are available when the player creates a new save file. When the player starts playing a save file for the first time, only Kirby is seen in the title screen. Many of them are unlocked when the player meets unused Copy Abilities (including Friend Abilities) and their corresponding Friends. Some are also unlocked by that save file's progress, such as ones that feature Dream Friends. Kirby's design is also affected by the Dream Button toggle. Skit availability at the title screen and file select is determined based on the last save file to have been opened.
