Team Attack is a special attack that can be performed when human-controlled characters ride piggyback on one another. It debuted in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and appeared again in Kirby Star Allies as well as Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe.

| “ | If all players Piggyback on one another, hold A, and then release at the same time, they will perform a powerful Team Attack. | ” | — Kirby's Return to Dream Land manual |
To perform a Team Attack in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, human players should ride piggyback on one another, hold the A button (guard), and then release at the same time. Once done, the player at the bottom will launch a powerful attack, the effect and the power of which depend on the user and the number of participants. Notably, the base power of Kirby's Team Attack is 86, which may be an easter egg.
Team Attacks return in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe and function the same. To charge a Team Attack in this game, players must hold down the shoulder buttons (L and R). The trigger buttons (ZL and ZR) will not charge up players for a Team Attack. Additionally, in Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler, Magolor is also capable of using a Team Attack.

Kirby Star Allies[edit]

To perform a Team Attack in Kirby Star Allies, human players should ride piggyback on one another, hold the L/R/ZL/ZR button (guard), and then release at the same time. Once done, the player at the bottom will launch a powerful multihit laser beam that can pass through enemies and obstacles. It's impossible to perform a Team Attack with CPU players.
The Team Attack's power increases when there are more participants, but is not affected by who the user is. Some users have unique firing poses and/or sound effects:
- When Marx performs the Team Attack, he fires the laser with the same strange expression he has when firing the Marx Cannon during his boss battle in Kirby Super Star (Ultra). The Team Attack's sound effect is also unique.
- When Magolor performs the Team Attack, he will cast a magic circle to fire the laser.
- When any of The Three Mage-Sisters performs the Team Attack, the current active sister will fire the laser in a prayer pose.
The Star Allies Sparkler can also perform a Team Attack called Team Star Allies!. During the Marx battle in Heroes in Another Dimension's Happy Ending credits, he can fire his laser in much the same way as the standard Team Attack in Star Allies.
Other team-based attacks[edit]
- In Kirby Fighters Deluxe, there is an item called Team Cannon. If two or three Kirbys on the same team mount the cannon together, they will be able to fire a powerful laser beam in a similar fashion to a Team Attack.
- In the Team Kirby Clash games, if each member of Team Kirby collects a Power Tablet from the boss after it gets furious, they will perform the Team Meteor attack.
- Kirby Fighters 2 has an item called the Buddy Star Blaster. If two players on the same team combine both halves of the Star Blaster and hit at least one opponent with it, a powerful laser beam is fired on the opposing players much the same way as the Team Cannon or a Team Attack.
