Ball Kirby

Ball Kirby is one of Kirby's copy abilities, first appearing in Kirby's Adventure. It lets Kirby tuck his arms and feet into his body to turn into a bouncing ball and ricochet off walls and enemies. While this ability's only appearance in main series titles so far are Kirby's Adventure and its remake Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, it forms the basis for numerous Kirby spinoffs including Kirby's Pinball Land, Kirby's Block Ball and Kirby's Dream Course. It also appears in Kirby Canvas Curse in which Kirby is stuck in this form as a result of Drawcia's curse.

Abilities

Kirby can turn into a ball, rolling and bouncing into walls or the floor. Any enemy he hits in the air takes damage. His bounce gets stronger the higher he falls whilst the attack button is held. Kirby is invincible while moving in the air, but can be damaged at the pinnacle of his jump and as he hits the ground.

Enemies

Kirby can obtain this ability by inhaling:

• Bubbles
• Paint Roller's baseball

Description

Super Smash Bros. Melee trophy description

When Kirby swallows a ball enemy, he turns into a ball and can bounce off of floors and walls. It's tough to control, but well worth it for the strong attack power it gives Kirby. After his debut in Kirby's Adventure, Ball Kirby has popped up in several more Kirby games, such as Kirby's Pinball Land and Kirby's Block Ball.
