Editing Dragoon

The Dragoon hails from ''Kirby Air Ride'', as one of two Legendary Air Ride machines in the game, along with Hydra. The Dragoon could only be attained in the City Trial mode of the game; additionally, before it could be used in the actual mode, the player had to collect three pieces of the machine. Like its appearance in ''Brawl'', players could attack each other to steal pieces of the Dragoon from each other; furthermore, a probability built into the game chooses whether or not the pieces will spawn or not. In actual gameplay, true to being a legendary machine, Dragoon has the highest flight stat of all machines, as well as very high stats in all other areas.

In order to use the Dragoon, one must find all three pieces (Dragoon Part A, Dragoon Part B, and Dragoon Part C). Collecting one of the parts causes a unique soundbite to play and a small picture of that part to appear to the left of that character's icon at the bottom of the screen. Once the player has collected all three pieces, the Dragoon is assembled and the character flies off-screen, from where they can aim where they want to attack with the [[control stick]]. The item will automatically fire after ten beeps are heard; however it can be fired at will before this point by pressing the attack button. If a character is hit, they will take 40% damage and will almost always be [[one-hit KO]]'d. Dodging the attack is difficult unless the defenders can predict when the attacker will charge, though possible; additionally, as the attack acts as one giant hit, attacks that grant [[armor]], such as [[Aether]], can allow the player to survive. This however does not seem to be the case in Ultimate. The Dragoon can be aimed anywhere but off-screen which allows players to easily avoid the attack by simply moving off-screen on a stage such as [[Wii Fit Studio]], though the body of the Dragoon can still manage to hit a player if they aren't careful.

While a character is holding a piece, they can be attacked which may force them to drop a piece they have; a character can also lose all pieces they have by being [[KO]]'d. If the character revives, the parts they were holding will fall back onto the [[stage]]. In a [[team]] Smash, multiple players on the same team can collect the Dragoon pieces. The player who collects the third and final piece will receive the assembled Dragoon.

:''An attack-capable Air Ride machine you can assemble by combining parts A, B, and C. You can knock off parts held by foes in combat, so stealing parts is something that's sure to occur. In Kirby Air Ride, you control legendary machines, but the Dragoon not only towers above all others in terms of speed, it is also able to fly.''

:{{Flag|North America}} ''Collect parts A, B, and C to assemble the legendary Air Ride machine known as the Dragoon. Take careful aim, and then ride it toward your target. A hit will send enemies flying out of the battle. Taking damage before you've collected all the parts can knock them from your grasp, however.''

:{{Flag|Europe}} ''Collect parts A, B and C to assemble the legendary Air Ride machine Dragoon, which you can use to fly into an opponent. Aim well and they'll be long gone. If you're the one being aimed at, though, get out of the way, stat! By the way, if another player has one of the parts, attack them to steal it!''
