Bandana Waddle Dee & Winged Star (Kirby Air Riders Series)

Description

The Bandana Waddle Dee & Winged Star amiibo was released to coincide with the launch of Kirby Air Riders, depicting a Bandana Waddle Dee riding Winged Star, which functions as a balance board like Air Ride Machine as a vehicle in the series. Differing from traditional amiibo, the figure is part of the Kirby Air Riders range featuring an unique modular design, allowing the rider and machine components to be physically separated and combined with other compatible amiibo in the series

The amiibo works with a range of titles but most notably:

• Kirby Air Riders (Switch 2) – Creates a Bandana Waddle Dee & Winged Star Rider and Machine combination, allows training of a custom Figure Player (FP), tracks machine proficiency, and can be combined with other compatible Air Ride Machine amiibo.
• Kirby and the Forgotten Land (Switch) – Grants Star Coins and a useful boost item

The figure is notable for introducing the distinctive swappable amiibo format. By combining a rider and vehicle into a single interchangeable collectible, it extends amiibo functionality beyond a single character and reflects the customisation mechanics of the game in the real world.
