Friends are nice to have, but for a PlatformGame 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 [[NonPlayerCompanion 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 AttackAnimal 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.

* The Tenno in ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'' can go out on their missions with sentinels, tiny drones that provide support while dutifully flying over the Tenno's shoulder, effortlessly keeping up the pace with their incredible acrobatics. Alternatively, the Tenno can use kubrows or kavats, who can't keep up the pace like sentinels can, but have other advantages like being able to be resurrected infinitely.

* [=RPGs=] in the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series, specifically the ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi'' and ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' 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''.

** In ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankRiftApart'', 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.
