Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Friends are nice to have, but for a Platform Game hero, they can be hard to keep. With all the difficult running, jumping, and sliding you have to do, what if your sidekick can't keep up? He could fall down a pit, get stuck behind a door, be left behind by a moving platform, or dozens of other inconveniences that get in the way of keeping an adventuring party together. But there's a solution to those problems. A Platforming Pocket Pal is an adventuring companion in an action game who, for whatever reason, is not hindered by the action segments. It could be a small flying or shoulder-mounted creature, or an Attack Animal that easily follows you wherever you run and jump to. It could be a sentient magic item that the hero carries around, or a high-tech device with artificial intelligence worn as an accessory. It could even be a ghost or spirit of some sort. Regardless of the reason, the benefit of the Platforming Pocket Pal is that the game makers can add another character and more complexity to the plot without having to worry about him getting left behind or being limited in how they design levels. They may or may not have direct impact on gameplay, but it doesn't matter. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Subtrope of Non-Player Companion. This trope is distinct from but may overlap with Exposition Fairy, Fairy Companion, Spirit Advisor, and Mission Control. Not to be confused with Party in My Pocket or Took a Shortcut. Compare Gameplay Ally Immortality, where the companion NPCs cannot be killed by the same things that kill the player characters. |

Starbound has S.A.I.L., your AI companion who constantly speaks to you from your ship through some unseen non-inventory device. (Esther and the other residents of the Ark sometimes hijack the comm too.) Additionally, people following you (crew members, mercs, escortees, pets) can teleport to your location if you get too far away or if they can't reach you through regular pathfinding. | |

Zigzagged in Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. In normal gameplay, Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky spend their time mounted on Donkey Kong's back, aiding him with their extra abilities (a jetpack to hover, a Double Jump ponytail twirl, and a cane pogo jump) while DK handles the actual platforming. However, they're perfectly capable of dismounting DK in multiplayer, at which point they're as vulnerable to the platforming as DK is, depending on the skill of the second player. | |

Cave Story has sections where you work with Curly; she moves, fires, and takes damage same as you do, but she can't be killed. At least, not while still fighting with you. In the bonus level, however, she follows the trope more closely, as she is strapped to your character's back. | |

The more recent games in The Legend of Zelda have given Link a wide variety of pocket pals. The tradition started with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which gave Link the Fairy Companion Navi to give him advice. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask gave him a similar companion, the fairy Tatl. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap partners Link up with Ezlo the talking hat. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess introduces Midna, an impish shadow creature who hides in Link's shadow while he's in human form, and rides on his back in wolf form. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass had Suspiciously Similar Substitute to Navi, Ciel. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks has Princess Zelda, as a incorporeal spirit. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword had the spirit of the Master Sword; Fi. |

In Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Clank takes this role for Rivet in the first half of the game, and Ratchet eventually finds Kit, who fills the role for him. The rough half-time point is when Ratchet and Rivet finally meet, and swap buddies, with Clank returning to Ratchet, and Kit joining Rivet. | |

RPGs in the Super Mario Bros. series, specifically the Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario series each have their own forms. The Mario & Luigi series, starting with Partners in Time, gives you a sentient suitcase named Stuffwell that carries your inventory and rarely interacts with the player to give them hints. He's replaced from Bowser's Inside Story onward with the much more active Star Sprite, Starlow. The first two Paper Mario games give you your Party Members, with one out at all times and all of whom have special overworld abilities such as providing detailed information, carrying Mario over gaps, or altering the environment to remove obstacles. As mentioned in the Platformer Folder, Super Paper Mario gives you the Pixls to replicate this functionality; and after returning to an overhauled RPG system, some previous Party Member functions are stripped down and condensed into Kersti in Sticker Star, Huey in Color Splash, and Olivia in Origami King. |

Prince of Persia (2008) has Elika, who is, rather unusually for this trope, just as human as the Prince (player character), but doesn't cause any trouble for the player during platforming section by the virtue of being a) just as good at Le Parkour and b) having a sophisticated AI that preemptively gets out of the Prince's way during complex acrobatic sequences. | |

Ratchet & Clank: Clank is a robot who can retract his arms and legs to sit on Ratchet's back. In a bit of a reversal, a number of vital items get built into him over the course of the first game (and carry on into most of the rest), so he actively helps you though the game. Levels in which he is unavailable often make you feel his absence. Then there's the Giant Clank sequences, in which the heroes do a bit of role reversal and Ratchet rides on Clank's back (which actually doesn't make much sense, as Ratchet and his little arsenal are a bit of a One-Man Army even at regular size, whereas normally Clank tends to rely on cleverness over firepower. Wouldn't it be better for Ratchet to follow on foot, or at least sit up on Clank's shoulder where he could aim some of those guns?) Played for laughs in Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One. In 1-player mode, playing as Ratchet, Captain Qwark, or Dr. Nefarious will have Clank on your back like in a normal Ratchet & Clank game (until combat or puzzles require him to get off). The exception comes if you decide to play as Clank himself; if you do, your AI partner is Qwark, who somehow folds himself into a smaller size than Clank in order to sit on his back. In Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Clank takes this role for Rivet in the first half of the game, and Ratchet eventually finds Kit, who fills the role for him. The rough half-time point is when Ratchet and Rivet finally meet, and swap buddies, with Clank returning to Ratchet, and Kit joining Rivet. |

NieR may be more standard action-adventure, but there's just enough platforming to make this an issue. Luckily, one of your companions is a talking book that the main character carries on his person, and another is a mage that just levitates to wherever you are. Oh, and your land-bound companion can teleport, but that's mostly to cover poor pathfinding and an inability to climb ladders. | |

Super Smash Bros.: Since the series was produced by the same guy (Masahiro Sakurai) who did the Kirby games, the co-op in Brawl's Subspace Emissary mode works much the same way as Kirby Super Star, with Player 2 as your Platforming Pocket Pal. However, since the second player-controlled character can still be killed by being knocked off the screen by an enemy, and both players share the same amount of extra lives, the platforming isn't any more difficult in co-op, but the fighting itself becomes ridiculously frustrating on higher difficulties. The Pokémon Trainer always follows his mons around by teleporting to different locations. Unused animations for him imply he was intended to run around in the background to follow the action at one point in development, instead of simply teleporting. |
