'''Weight'''<ref>''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' manual (page 10)</ref> (also known as '''2 Ton Kirby'''<ref>{{Cite|Transforming into 2 Ton Kirby is a great way to expedite any fall from great heights. He'll also take out baddies and certain blocks in his way.|[ http://kirbykirbykirby.com/#/transformations/ Official Kirby Site]|2 Ton Kirby video caption}}</ref>) is a new ability usable by [[Kirby]] and [[Prince Fluff]] in [[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]. The ability itself is Kirby turning into a heavier version of himself and plummeting down. This ability acts very much like the [[Stone]] power from previous games - but instead of turning into a rock, a weight. Weight can damage foes similarly to how Stone can, by simply dropping on top of enemies. It can also break [[Cloth Block]]s,<ref>{{Cite|Transform into a weight and crush enemies or blocks|Kirby's Epic Yarn manual|page 10}}</ref> but unlike Stone, Kirby will revert to normal when a few seconds after he lands. The ability is utilized by Kirby and Prince Fluff anytime, by pressing down twice in midair. However, Kirby and Prince Fluff are not invincible when they use it and  they still lose [[bead]]s when they come in contact with certain enemies ([[Gordo]]s for example). [[Parachute]] and Weight are the only transformations undergone from jumping actions.

'''Weight''' (also known as '''2 Ton Kirby'''<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141130081714/http://kirby.nintendo.com/epicyarn/mobile/transformations.html ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' official mobile website] (Wayback Machine)</ref>) is a [[Transformation (Kirby's Epic Yarn)|transformation]] usable by both [[Kirby]] and [[Prince Fluff]] in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]''. It is one of the only two transformations that is performed in midair, the other being [[parachute]]. It is very similar to the [[Stone]] [[Copy Ability|ability]] from earlier ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' games.


As directly stated by its name, Weight changes Kirby or Prince Fluff into the shape of a weight, making them heavier. The player can use the move at any time, by pressing down twice while in midair. Like the Stone ability, the weight can damage enemies by simply dropping onto them. The weight can easily crush Cloth Blocks, but unlike the Stone ability, Kirby reverts to normal within a few seconds after landing. Being a weight does not make Kirby and Prince Fluff invincible, which means that they still lose [[bead]]s from hitting into certain enemies such as [[Gordo]]s.
Note: In [[Moon Base]] of [[Space Land]], when the gravity is turned on, the Weight has  no effects on anything, excluding acting as an anchor for Kirby and Prince Fluff.


In [[Mysterious UFO]] and [[Moon Base]], which are set in low gravity, the Weight transformation is mostly ineffective except for being an anchor for Kirby and Prince Fluff. When the gravity is low, the weight falls slower and cannot damage enemies or break [[block]]s.
