A Sliding Kick (otherwise known as Slide Kick or just Slide) is an attack that Kirby can perform in most games in the Kirby series.

Overview

To perform the attack, the unknown reader must press the jump button while Kirby is ducking. This causes Kirby to slide a considerable distance forward (depending on the terrain) with his feet out front. If he hits an enemy that isn't invulnerable, he will deal damage to that enemy and bounce off. This can be done anywhere out of the water, and requires no Copy Ability to use. In addition to its offensive capability, Kirby can use a Sliding Kick to dodge an attack, or just move quickly forward.

Sliding Kicks can be used to break barricades of Star Blocks or cracked stone blocks that lie under Kirby's feet, making it a quicker method of destroying such blocks than attempting to Inhale them.

Starting with Return to Dream Land, Kirby and his friends can also perform this move while holding an item, making it their only attack option whilst doing so.
