'''Soarar''' is an enemy in the ''[[Kirby series]]''. He is a flying enemy, similar to a [[Shooty]] or a [[Cerulean]]. He provides no Copy Ability if swallowed.
'''Soarar''' is a yellow orange flying wedge-shaped creature who frequently appears as a minor [[enemy]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. First appearing in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', he is a relatively common sight in the air in the games he appears in, usually flying in straight and slightly diagonal paths at a modest pace. He mainly attacks by collision, and may swoop in from the background, though he could also shoot projectiles in ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''. Soarar is usually a minor feature in whatever games he appears in, but has a more outsized role in both ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' and ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]''. Soarar is fairly easy to defeat and can be inhaled, but provides no ability if swallowed.
 
Its name is derived from "soarer", another word for "sailplane".

Soarar debuted in this game, where he flies through the air, often flying in circles. His methods of attack include running into [[Kirby]] or shooting small purple lasers. However, he does not provide Kirby with any copy ability, even though his lasers might indicate he gives the [[Laser]] ability. Soarar is defeated rather easily, as one [[Air Bullet]] is enough to take this enemy down.

Soarar is a yellow orange flying wedge-shaped creature who frequently appears as a minor enemy in the Kirby series. First appearing in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, he is a relatively common sight in the air in the games he appears in, usually flying in straight and slightly diagonal paths at a modest pace. He mainly attacks by collision, and may swoop in from the background, though he could also shoot projectiles in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. Soarar is usually a minor feature in whatever games he appears in, but has a more outsized role in both Kirby Mass Attack and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. Soarar is fairly easy to defeat and can be inhaled, but provides no ability if swallowed.

Its name is derived from "soarer", another word for "sailplane".
