'''Parasol''' is an enemy in the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby'' series]]'' resembling a red and white parasol that can be swallowed for the [[Parasol]] ability. It is usually held by a [[Waddle Dee]], [[Waddle Doo]], or [[Shotzo]], enabling them to slow their fall. Prior to reaching the ground, the former two can be swallowed, enabling the [[Parasol]] ability, rather than no ability or the [[Beam]] ability. These enemies most often let go of the Parasol once they land on the ground. After this, the Parasol will float up, hurting Kirby if he comes into contact with it. Sometimes they home in on Kirby.

From ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'' and onward, Parasols would for the most part no longer be considered enemies in their own right, though they can still harm Kirby if he bumps into one that is detached and flying away. In ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', the Parasol cannot be possessed using the [[Ghost]] ability, and Ghost Kirby will simply pass through if he attempts to. If Kirby possesses a Waddle Dee or Waddle Doo who is holding a parasol, that enemy will immediately drop the parasol upon possession.

Parasol is an enemy in the Kirby series resembling a red and white parasol that can be swallowed for the Parasol ability.
