Dragoon

The Dragoon is a legendary air ride machine from Kirby Air Ride. Starting with Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a Dragoon has appeared as an item in every Super Smash Bros. game.

Broken into three parts, named Dragoon Parts, fighters 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. 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.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl's The Subspace Emissary, Kirby rides the Dragoon in a cutscene, and he uses it similarly to a Warp Star. This occurs in the scene where Ganondorf and Bowser blew up the Halberd. After the explosion occurs, nearly every fighter arrives in their ships (Fox McCloud in his Arwing, Samus in her gunship, Olimar in the Hocotate Ship, and the others in Captain Falcon's Falcon Flyer). They all continue shooting the enemy ship and the enemy's ship also fires back. The enemy's ship is so large that the aircrafts do little damage to it. Just when it seems the heroes are losing, Kirby comes flying in on the Dragoon and flies straight at the ship's cannon. He flies through it, destroying the cannon in an explosion. The other ships then keep firing at the ship until it gets covered in flames. However, Ganondorf and Bowser leave into the Subspace right before the whole ship explodes.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
The Dragoon returns in both Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. In both games' Team Battle mode, if both players collect all three Dragoon Parts, the character who collected the final piece can use the Dragoon.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Dragoon returns once more as an item. There is also a spirit of a Dragoon.
