'''Acro''' | '''Acro''' is an [[Water (environment)|aquatic]] [[boss]] that has appeared in [[Ripple Field (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Ripple Field]] from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' and [[Aqua Star]] from ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. It is a killer whale, and its name is "orca" spelled backwards. Appropriately to its name, Acro's main attack strategy is by performing underwater "acro"batics to body slam Kirby, but it can also spit various objects and projectiles from its mouth, which can serve as Kirby's means of counterattack. | ||

The fight with Acro takes place in two phases, in a deep underwater cavern. The first phase takes place in a dry area over a bridge. Here, Acro tries to ram Kirby, causing rocks to fall when it hits the wall. These rocks can be inhaled and spat back at Acro to do damage. | |||

Here, Acro will retreat from Kirby, while spitting out various debris toward him. These can be deflected back using the [[Water Gun]]. Acro may also try to perform more slam attacks, causing rocks to tumble in from above, which can also be deflected. | ||

Acro attacks by spitting various enemies as projectiles at Kirby, including [[Fishbone]], [[Gordo]], and [[Bonehead]] while backing away from Kirby (the first and third of which can be inhaled and spat back to do damage). Once they reach the edge of the battlefield, Acro will use one of its acrobatic body slam or charging techniques, which Kirby can do little but dodge. When Acro hits the floor or a wall, rocks will be thrown out which Kirby can inhale and spit at the boss. From here, the cycle of attacks will repeat until Acro's first health meter is depleted, causing it to fall to the floor as the battlefield begins to crumble. | ||
In the second phase, Kirby has to swim up a narrow vertical tunnel and avoid Acro's attacks from below while also dodging or utilizing the enemies along the way. Acro has two methods of attack here: it can either spit [[Pedo]]s at Kirby or charge him before looping back around in the background. Once Acro's second health meter is depleted, the battle is over. | In the second phase, Kirby has to swim up a narrow vertical tunnel and avoid Acro's attacks from below while also dodging or utilizing the enemies along the way.
