Dragoon
It has been requested that this article be rewritten.
- Not to be confused with Dragon.
Template:Item-infobox The Dragoon is a legendary air ride machine from Kirby Air Ride, appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Broken into three parts, the players have to collect Dragoon Part A, the nosecone, Dragoon Part B, the hull, and Dragoon Part C, the tail. The Smash Ball cannot coexist with all three of the Dragoon parts in play. Once the Smash Ball is used up while one or two Dragoon parts are in play, the remaining part(s) can be allowed to appear. Any player can collect any of the three parts of the ship, but when one player has all three at the same time, they can use it to crash into the stage, knocking out all players who are hit by the Dragoon. When players are damaged while holding the Dragoon parts, they may lose a part, meaning that an opponent can easily snag a lost part. The Dragoon parts don't always appear in every single match. When playing a team battle in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, unlike in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, if both players on a team collect all three Dragoon parts, the player who collected the final piece for their team is able to use the Dragoon.
Anyone hit by the Dragoon almost always are KO'd, but certain factors (such as walls, metallic, invincibility, etc.) might prevent the targets from getting KO'd.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Dragoon also appears as a Spirit.
Role in the Subspace Emissary
In the Subspace Emissary (the Super Smash Bros. Brawl story mode), the Dragoon appears once, and acts similar to the Warp Star (as Kirby's vehicle). With most of the other heroes in the game drawing all the firepower of Ganondorf and Bowser's Subspace Gunship in their respective ships (the Arwing, Gunship, Hocotate Ship and Falcon Flyer) following the destruction of the Halberd, Kirby, riding the Dragoon, managed to approach the Subspace Gunship from a separate direction undetected, flying through its midsection and causing critical damage. He then rode the Dragoon into the subspace portal alongside the other heroes in pursuit of Ganondorf and Bowser, who had abandoned the Subspace Gunship and retreated into the portal right before it exploded. The Dragoon's fate thereafter is unknown.
