| '''Backdrop'''<ref>Spelled as such in ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''; corroborated in the [https://www.nintendo.com/en-za/Misc-/Kirby-25th-Anniversary-Copy-Ability-Global-Poll-1264660.html Kirby 25th Anniversary Copy Ability Global Poll]</ref> (also spelled '''Back Drop'''<ref>Spelled as such in ''Kirby's Adventure''</ref>) is a [[Copy Ability]] from ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', obtainable by swallowing [[Bugzzy]]. It is similar to the [[Throw]], [[Suplex]] and [[Fighter]] abilities, and in ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'' Kirby wears a red headband identical to the one Fighter Kirby originally had. With it, Kirby can grab an enemy or other object, and then use one of four different types of wrestling-style slams to defeat them, depending on which way the player taps on the D-pad. He is very strong with the ability, being able to stop bullets and lift defeated mid-bosses. Additionally, Kirby appears with the ability on the North American and European game covers of ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'' (which, in reality, is artwork of Fighter Kirby from ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'').

| ==Moveset==
| |
| Backdrop does not have names for its attacks. However, the following moves can be performed with this ability: | |
| *'''B''' - Lunge forward and grab an enemy or object. Kirby will stagger for a bit if he misses. (uses an [[inhale]] to grab enemies in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'')
| |
| *(after grabbing opponent or object)
| |
| **'''B''' or '''→''' - Jumps forward and slams the opponent into the ground.
| |
| **'''A''' - Does a big leap before slamming the opponent into the ground.
| |
| **'''↑''' - Jumps upward and performs a "back breaker" technique on the enemy.
| |
| **'''←''' - Dives backward with the enemy and slams them to the ground.
| |
| **'''↓''' - Jumps high into the air and then slams the opponent to the ground.
| |
| **(in midair) - Tosses the enemy diagonally downward and forward to the ground. This happens automatically after grabbing.
| |
| | |
| Backdrop cannot be used to grab Bosses or Mid-Bosses unless the latter have been downed. It can be used to grab [[Dropped Star]]s however, which can then be used to attack these foes by collateral collision.

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *Kirby's forward and back throws in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] appear to be based on the Backdrop ability (although in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', his forward throw is based on the [[Ninja]] ability). | | *Backdrop and [[Suplex]] are extremely similar, though the latter has more moves, and is also provided by [[Bugzzy]]. It can be presumed that Suplex has permanently replaced this ability. |
| | *The look that Kirby has when he possesses the Backdrop ability is similar to the one he has with the Fighter ability. |
| | *Kirby's forward and back throws in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series appear to be based on the Backdrop ability. |
