This gang of intergalactic thieves possesses wide-ranging abilities, which they use to hunt down and capture treasures of all shapes and sizes. If Kirby loses a life in an attempt to get a chest, he has to replay the stage to get it. If a Squeak takes it to a hideout, Kirby must hurry before they bar up the entrance door.
To make sure he gets the chest, Kirby must fight them until they get knocked out, and then take it. Squeaks will appear in various circumstances to steal any treasure chest they can find, grab, and take to a hideout. Spinni slashes with the Animal claw, Doc orbits Daroach in a manner somewhat similar to UFO's Star Guard, and Storo performs three consecutive ground pounds. The Squeaks can be summoned by Daroach as one of his moves. It is unknown why Daroach re-introduces himself as Kirby defeated him in Kirby: Squeak Squad, an encounter which Daroach should have remembered, although it was most likely done for players who were unfamiliar with the events of Kirby: Squeak Squad. Daroach then leaves along with the rest of the Squeaks. After the Kirbys collect all of the medals, Daroach takes them off of the Kirbys' hands, and in exchange, gives them the final unlockable sub-game, Survival Rush. The leader, Daroach, pilots an airship and gives the Kirbys hints of where certain medals are. In Kirby Mass Attack, members of the Squeaks return to help Kirby return to normal. In the game's after-credits ending, the Squeaks give Kirby his shortcake back, presumably to apologize for all the trouble they caused. After Kirby frees all of the Squeaks from Dark Nebula's possession and defeats Dark Nebula, the Squeaks decide to look elsewhere for treasure, and leave for parts unknown. But the chest turns out to have neither Kirby's shortcake nor any ultimate power, but instead a dark, eerie cloud of smoke that envelops Daroach and the rest of the Squeaks and disappears into space. Provided he has collected all five Star Seals, Kirby opens the door, goes through the Secret Sea, and defeats Meta Knight, only for Daroach to take the chest again. Just as Kirby is about to finally reclaim the chest which he thinks contains his strawberry shortcake, Meta Knight steals the treasure and sails through a star door only openable via the five Star Seals. Kirby chases them through different worlds, all the way to their home in Ice Island, where their main hideout is located. According to Japanese sources, the Squeaks turn out to be after a treasure that Daroach believes contains an ultimate power.
