'''Throw''' is one of the rarer [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It is one of the few to utilize Kirby's core ability to [[Inhale]], which Kirby does to grab an [[enemy]], defeated [[Mid-Boss]] or a [[Star Block]]. After grabbing one of them, Kirby becomes invincible and is able to pack a powerful toss in one of the six directions specified by the directional pad. The thrown projectile will be able to decimate most common enemies and otherwise do large amounts of [[damage]], while also destroying any Star Blocks and [[Block|Metal Blocks]] in its path.

The ability is essentially an enhancement to inhaling; in particular, it allows Kirby to inhale [[Scarfy]], which normally can't be inhaled. Its concept is similar to [[Backdrop]] while it looks extremely similar to [[Suplex]].

Throw first appeared alongside the Copy Ability mechanic itself in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. In this game, the Throw ability is obtained from [[Rolling Turtle]], a [[Mid-Boss]] who attacks Kirby with various grappling techniques. In addition to throwing enemies and blocks, Throw Kirby is also able to capture inhalable thrown objects such as the [[Meta-Knights]]' weapons. Throw's ability to bust metal blocks with the objects he tosses makes it a useful tool, but its rarity means that there's almost always another ability that can be obtained quicker to do the same job.
 
In the game's remake ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', Throw Kirby gets his blue headband for the first time. Rolling Turtle is replaced by [[Phan Phan]], another Mid-Boss who attacks Kirby in a similar fashion to Rolling Turtle.

===''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''===
In ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', Kirby still obtains the Throw ability from the Mid-Boss [[Phan Phan]] like in the previous title. While in this game Kirby's regular inhaling ability tires him after a few seconds, Throw Kirby's inhaling can be used indefinitely.
 
===''Kirby: Squeak Squad''===
In ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', Kirby can obtain the Throw ability from the common enemy [[Bun]]. If Throw Kirby tries to inhale a major member of [[Squeaks|the Squeaks]], it will stun them and make them drop any [[Treasure|Treasure Chest]]s they happen to be holding, as if attempted with a regular Inhale. After collecting Throw's [[Ability Scroll]], it can also take on fire, ice or electric elemental attributes of grabbed enemies.

'''Throw''' is a [[Copy Ability]] [[Kirby]] can get by swallowing the [[Mid-Boss]] [[Rolling Turtle]] in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' or its replacement, [[Phan Phan]], in the game's remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land|Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. With it, he can swallow an enemy and fire it at another enemy. This ability is similar to the [[Backdrop]] Copy Ability. Upon getting the Throw ability, Kirby's appearance changes with the addition of a blue bandanna. It is one of few abilities that involve swallowing.

'''Throw''' Kirby makes a single appearance in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' in the episode [[Cowardly Creature]]. Kirby gains this ability after [[inhale|inhaling]] one of the large spike balls tossed at him by [[Phan Phan]] while it is possessed by [[Whippy (monster)|Whippy]]. Using this ability, Kirby inhales to grab Whippy, and then proceeds to toss him around before finally launching him into outer space with a "tornado throw".

Throw is one of the rarer Copy Abilities in the Kirby series. It is one of the few to utilize Kirby's core ability to Inhale, which Kirby does to grab an enemy, defeated Mid-Boss or a Star Block. After grabbing one of them, Kirby becomes invincible and is able to pack a powerful toss in one of the six directions specified by the directional pad. The thrown projectile will be able to decimate most common enemies and otherwise do large amounts of damage, while also destroying any Star Blocks and Metal Blocks in its path.

The ability is essentially an enhancement to inhaling; in particular, it allows Kirby to inhale Scarfy, which normally can't be inhaled. Its concept is similar to Backdrop while it looks extremely similar to Suplex.

Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[edit]

KA Throw icon.png
Kirby using Throw in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.

Throw first appeared alongside the Copy Ability mechanic itself in Kirby's Adventure. In this game, the Throw ability is obtained from Rolling Turtle, a Mid-Boss who attacks Kirby with various grappling techniques. In addition to throwing enemies and blocks, Throw Kirby is also able to capture inhalable thrown objects such as the Meta-Knights' weapons. Throw's ability to bust metal blocks with the objects he tosses makes it a useful tool, but its rarity means that there's almost always another ability that can be obtained quicker to do the same job.

In the game's remake Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Throw Kirby gets his blue headband for the first time. Rolling Turtle is replaced by Phan Phan, another Mid-Boss who attacks Kirby in a similar fashion to Rolling Turtle.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror[edit]

In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby still obtains the Throw ability from the Mid-Boss Phan Phan like in the previous title. While in this game Kirby's regular inhaling ability tires him after a few seconds, Throw Kirby's inhaling can be used indefinitely.

Kirby: Squeak Squad[edit]

In Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby can obtain the Throw ability from the common enemy Bun. If Throw Kirby tries to inhale a major member of the Squeaks, it will stun them and make them drop any Treasure Chests they happen to be holding, as if attempted with a regular Inhale. After collecting Throw's Ability Scroll, it can also take on fire, ice or electric elemental attributes of grabbed enemies.

Throw here gains a new idle animation: Kirby holds his arms in a fighting pose, while his headband blows in the wind, similar to the idle animation of Fighter Kirby.

In Kirby: Right Back at Ya![edit]
