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. In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', it is possible to survive the attack by using attacks that grant [[armor]]; in ''Ultimate'', it ignores armor. 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. In ''Brawl'', the Dragoon will not activate if multiple players on the same team each collect a piece, but this was changed in ''Smash 4'' so that the player who collects the third and final piece will receive the assembled Dragoon.

In {{for3ds}}, if any [[Daybreak]] parts have appeared, no Dragoon parts will appear until the Daybreak is assembled and used, or all Daybreak parts are sent off-screen. Similarly, if any Dragoon parts have appeared, no Daybreak parts will appear until the Dragoon is assembled, or all Dragoon parts are sent off-screen.

|image=Dragoon - Brawl Trophy.png

|desc=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.

===In ''Super Smash Bros. 4''===

|name=Dragoon

|image-3ds=DragoonTrophy3DS.png

|image-wiiu=DragoonTrophyWiiU.png

|desc-ntsc=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.

|desc-pal=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!

Shortly after the destruction of the [[Halberd]], Kirby uses the Dragoon to destroy the [[Subspace Gunship]] by flying through the ship at full speed while his fellow [[fighter]]s keep it distracted. Kirby then uses the Dragoon to enter Subspace along with the others.

*In the stage of [[Bridge of Eldin]] from ''[[Brawl]]'', when firing the item when the bridge is forming, the player that is riding the Dragoon will get [[star KO]]ed.

*If used when [[Tingle]] zooms in on a character, the screen will freeze in the area Dragoon was launched in.

*Contrary to its trophy description, the Dragoon was not strictly the fastest machine in ''Kirby Air Ride''. While its speed in the air was unsurpassed, multiple other stars in the game could travel faster than it on the ground; Hydra, the other Legendary Air Ride Machine of the game, was among those that could do so.

*In [[Training mode]], when any number of Dragoon Parts are on the field and the [[Smash Ball]] is spawned, all the parts on the field not being held by a character will disappear. This occurs vice versa as well.

**Once all three Dragoon parts are in play, Smash Balls will not appear until the parts have been used or have fallen off the stage. Similarly, if the Smash Ball appears, the third Dragoon part will not appear. This prevents the Dragoon's targeting sight from clashing with any [[Final Smash]]es.
