'''Backdrop''' (also spelled '''Back Drop'''<ref>Demo reel for ''Kirby's Adventure''</ref>) 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!]]''). | |||

- 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 (also spelled Back Drop[1]) 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.

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!).
