*Acrobatics: Rick can instantly make leaps of around a meter, mobilize by spinning around & back his body mid-air to dodge attacks, and easily & quickly do flips and wacky moves during diverse victory dances.
*Space Jump: A technique most Kirby characters have, Rick transforms into a small ball of energy which turns out to be intangible, he uses this power to mobilize himself or regroup with mates faster. Any carried item is transformed too, as proven by other users of Space JumpKirby's Return to Dream Land.
*Revival Spell: A technique that, depending on the game, either resurrects dead allies or merely heals them from being defeated & unconscious. Both uses are applied to their users as they are doing the same process over what seems to be the same spell given the same name. Initially appearing in the Team Kirby Clash mini-game, the Kirbys there could approach others Kirbys and revive them when being defeated, which meant falling into the floor with their souls leaving their bodies. On the Team Kirby Clash Deluxe & Super Kirby Clash games the Kirbys there could even obtain items to improve their ability to resurrect others. Before the latter game, in Kirby Star Allies, every playable character became able to "Revive" defeated allies, but these defeated allies don't lose their souls and it's notable how some are still breathing.
*Team Attack: In Star Allies when piggybacking an ally or more, they can briefly charge energy to shoot an energy beam. The more allies charging energy the more powerful the attack will be.
*Positive Energy Manipulation: Called "positive energy" in America and left nameless & vague in the original version, it refers to the energies Star Allies manipulate while doing Friend Actions and Team Attacks; The white energy with colorful stars around, which may trigger with a heart-shaped wave. What exactly positive energy is is a bit vague, but it's related to friendship and companionship, and should be the opposite of "negative energy" (American name)/ "dark matter/substance" (Original name. Not to be confused with Dark Matter), which is conformed by, or related to, hatred, obsession, jealousy, desire, . In short, they are opposite types of concepts that respectively relate to morally good, healthy attitudes and evil, unhealthy attitudes, and is something that forms energy-based moves, powers up attacks, and allows Star Allies to use certain abilities in the first place.
*Friend Heart: Obtained in Kirby Star Allies, Rick generates a Friend Heart which is then thrown to his objective(s). This can be done an unlimited amount of times as well as repeatedly. Upon contact or near it, the Friend Heart will generate a major change in the empathy of the being(s) affected to the point of making them change their morality towards being friends & allies with Rick. The Friend Hearts have also shown to make feel objectives extremely happy, make them have a deep appreciation for the one who used a Friend Heart on them, generate clothes in others, work on robots, heal & purify others, operate without making direct contact to others' bodies as well as affect more than one being at a time. Friend Hearts were also shown either creating or turning small areas they reached into Friend Platforms (Creation or Transmutation), an ability any Star Ally may possess, but no character in Star Allies uses Friend Hearts in this manner or were aware that this happened. The last function the Friend Hearts have is that their sentient targets will immediately be bestowed with the ability the generate and use Friend Hearts with all previously mentioned characteristics.

|-|Star Allies Sparkler= The Final Weapon in Star Allies, used to take out Void Termina. The Star Allies Sparkler fires projectiles from the tip, fly around quickly and efficiently, and spin counterclockwise to avoid all damage on a relative scale (Sparkler Turn). Kirby canonically took the lead in the center of the Sparkler while his friends rode in the tail, but the leader can be rotated to imbue the shots with a different element depending on the leader (the technique is called Rider Switch). The Sparkler can fire different homing projectiles with varying power depending on charge time. An uncharged shot is called the Sparkler Comet, and it fires a star shaped projectile. A charged shot is called the Sparkler Starshot, and it fires a projectile shaped like two intertwining stars. The strongest attack is called Team Star Allies!, which, if everyone who's riding charges together and releases at the same time, fires a giant laser at the opponent. Rick uses this item on his own when used in The Ultimate Choice of Star Allies.
|-|Power-Up Hearts=Used to increase his statistics. The effects are shared with allies.

*Health Power-Up Hearts: Increases & heals all health.
