Nago in the Kirby's Dream Land 3 Instructional Booklet

Nago is one of Kirby'sAnimal Friends, debuting in Kirby's Dream Land 3, which remains his only major game appearance to date. He resembles a large Japanese Bobtail with a similar body shape as Rick, but with a pair of short legs instead of the hamster's big, round feet. Although his fur is mostly white, he possesses orange and brown markings on the top of his head and on his back, as well as brown ears and a stubby, orange tail.

Kirby's Dream Land 3[edit]

In Kirby's Dream Land 3, Nago is one of the first Animal Friends to be seen, appearing in the first stage of Grass Land next to Rick. He is also seen in the Cloudy Park intro, where he plays with Kirby until leaving him behind in favor of Pitch, and the Iceberg intro, where he assists Kirby and ChuChu in building a snowman.

When Kirby and Nago are traveling together, the pink hero assumes the shape of a ball while the cat holds him in his paws, rolling him around. Apart from being able to defeat most enemies by jumping on them, he may perform double or even triple jumps if the B button is pressed while he is falling, allowing him to make higher and longer leaps.

As with the other Animal Friends in the game, teaming up with Nago transforms Kirby's current Copy Ability into a new one, combining the animal's skills with the the ability's attributes.

His girlfriend Shiro, also a cat, appears in Stage 5 of Iceberg, and bringing Nago to his girlfriend rewards Kirby a Heart Star. Note that Nago cannot be found in this stage so Kirby has to bring Nago from another stage.

Combinations[edit]

Base AbilityAppearanceDescription
BurningKirby spits out a thin, tall flame that travels along the ground in a straight line, growing and then shrinking again until it disappears. Touching an enemy extinguishes it, but destroys the foe.
CleanNago charges forwards while the Y button is held, sweeping the floor with Kirby and eliminating opponents in his path.
CutterNago swings Kirby upwards very quickly, creating a crescent-shaped blast of energy that flies diagonally into the sky, defeating enemies in it path.
IceWhile the Y button is held, Kirby breathes snowballs that may freeze enemies downwards, slowly propelling Nago and himself into the air in the process.
NeedleKirby rapidly launches harmful pink spikes forward from his face as long as the Y button is held, but cannot move while doing so.
ParasolKirby and Nago use a parasol as a pogo stick, bouncing around on it and defeated adversaries while the Y button is held.
SparkNago rubs Kirby as long as the Y button is held, creating static electricity around him. Every enemy he touches while charged up is destroyed, but neutralizes some electricity. The longer Kirby is rubbed, the more foes he can defeat before returning to normal, up to a maximum of eight.
StonePressing and holding the Y button causes Kirby to change into his stone form while Nago pounds the ground with him, harming opponents in front of him. Nago cannot move while using this ability.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards[edit]

Nago makes a cameo appearance The Crystal Shards, although he himself is never seen. Instead, by using the Stone-Cutter ability combo, Kirby may transform into a moving statue of any of his Animal Friends from Kirby's Dream Land 3, including Nago. While in this form, he is very slow, but may execute double and triple jumps like Nago does in his original appearance, as well as crush most enemies he touches as with the regular Stone ability.
