Pendulum

The Pendulum is a form that Kirby and Prince Fluff can take in Kirby's Epic Yarn. It is one of the transformations that takes place automatically at any time during the game. Kirby and Prince Fluff can take this form if the player presses "1" near a button with an "X" on it.

When the player does this, Kirby (or Prince Fluff) latch on to the button with their whip. They can then swing from side to side, which can propel high jumps that can take Kirby/Prince Fluff to higher places unaccessable before. This transformation is very common, and is needed a lot. There are also many buttons that lead to treasures or beads, so the pendulum is needed there as well.

The pendulum is also seen at the end of every level, when Kirby/Prince Fluff latch on to to the bell.
