- This article is about the ability from Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. For the similar move from later games, see Suplex.
Backdrop[1] (also spelled Back Drop[2]) is a Copy Ability from Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, obtainable by swallowing Bugzzy. It is similar to the Throw, Suplex and Fighter abilities, and in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land Kirby wears a red headband identical to the one Fighter Kirby originally had. With it, Kirby can grab an enemy or other object, and then use one of four different types of wrestling-style slams to defeat them, depending on which way the player taps on the D-pad. He is very strong with the ability, being able to stop bullets and lift defeated mid-bosses. Additionally, Kirby appears with the ability on the North American and European game covers of Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land (which, in reality, is artwork of Fighter Kirby from Kirby: Right Back at Ya!).
Moveset[edit]
Backdrop does not have names for its attacks. However, the following moves can be performed with this ability:
- B - Lunge forward and grab an enemy or object. Kirby will stagger for a bit if he misses. (uses an inhale to grab enemies in Kirby's Adventure)
- (after grabbing opponent or object)
- B or → - Jumps forward and slams the opponent into the ground.
- A - Does a big leap before slamming the opponent into the ground.
- ↑ - Jumps upward and performs a "back breaker" technique on the enemy.
- ← - Dives backward with the enemy and slams them to the ground.
- ↓ - Jumps high into the air and then slams the opponent to the ground.
- (in midair) - Tosses the enemy diagonally downward and forward to the ground. This happens automatically after grabbing.
Backdrop cannot be used to grab Bosses or Mid-Bosses unless the latter have been downed. It can be used to grab Dropped Stars however, which can then be used to attack these foes by collateral collision.
