Stone first appeared in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', and is typically provided by [[Rocky]] or [[Blocky]]. Other rarer providers of the ability include [[Gansan]], [[Cairn]], [[Moundo]], [[Golem]], and [[Hack]]. Certain boss attacks, like those of [[Wham Bam Rock]], [[King Golem]], or [[Clanky Woods]], may also provide the ability.

Stone is among the simplest and most straightforward of Kirby's Copy Abilities, though it has a lot of variants and emergent uses. In its simplest form, Kirby transforms into a solid immobile object which is affected only by gravity. In this state, Kirby becomes immune to all but the strongest enemy attacks, though this is counterbalanced by the fact that his movement options become extremely limited if not completely absent. Due to the amount of time it often takes for Kirby to use his Stone Change, whether turning into the stone or transforming back to normal, it is often impractical to use Stone offensively, particularly during boss fights. When transformed, Stone Kirby falls extremely quickly, which is useful for certain vertical stage sections, but Kirby should be careful not to fall too far in many places, as he might be lost to a [[bottomless pit]] before he can change back. Falling into a hazardous area like a [[spike]] pit can also be problematic, as Kirby is basically guaranteed to take a hit as soon as he transforms back. One other notable aspect of Stone Kirby in most of his appearances is his ability to slide down slopes, which can be used in many cases to travel quickly and safely through tight tunnels packed with enemies. Stone Kirby's heavy weight also allows him to quickly sink in water, pound [[Stake]]s, and break [[metal block]]s.

===''Kirby's Adventure'' / ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===

[[File:KA Grape Garden Stage 6 screenshot 07.png|thumb|200px|Using Stone, Kirby can pound stakes to open up certain barriers.]]

Stone makes its debut along with the concept of [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] themselves in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. This game establishes Stone as an ability that causes Kirby to transform into a rock, and plummet downward, becoming all but invulnerable and dealing damage on impact. However, Stone Kirby's signature ability to slide down slopes is not present in this game, nor is it in the remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. Kirby also only has one form here, that being a pink-ish rock with a level bottom and two closed eyes on it. The ability is provided solely by [[Rocky]] or via a [[Mix]].

===''Kirby's Dream Course''===

Notably, in the 2P Game, when Stone is used, it will be held during the opponent's turn, even if a different ability was acquired while using the Stone form. Additionally, while in Stone form, attacks from the other player can be resisted. Stone cannot be used to protect against hazards such as [[Gordo]]s, however.

===''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''===

The [[Smash Bros.|Smash]] ability can also use the Stone Change, which functions the same.

|'''Stone Change'''

|Kirby transforms into a random, invincible statue that is stationary on the ground, or immediately plummets when used in the air. Ending this effect causes rock shards to fly away, which can harm enemies.

|-

|'''Stone Smash'''

|Kirby transforms into a random statue and falls straight down, pounding stakes into the ground and dealing damage to enemies he collides with.

|-

|'''Turbo Stone'''

|Changes into stone out of a dash, leaving some momentum for Kirby to slide into his opponents on the ground.

|-

|'''Heavy Smash'''

|Kirby transforms into a larger statue and pauses in the air for a bit before slamming straight down with greater force. Using this directly above an enemy causes Kirby to deal additional damage while transforming.

|-

|'''Stone Uppercut'''

|Kirby performs an uppercut directly in front of him with a fist made of stone, dealing damage and catapulting enemies into the air.

|-

|'''Slope Slide'''

|Kirby will slide down slopes while in Stone form, which will damage any enemies he slides into.

====Stone sculpture forms====

Similar to ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|its remake]], Stone Kirby can transform into various sculptures, with greatly increased forms in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.

{{main|Stone Mode}}

Stone can be combined with the [[Robobot Armor]] to enter '''Stone Mode''', which allows the suit to punch away heavy objects.

Some changes were made to the forms that Kirby can take in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'', having a different list from ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''.
