'''Kabu''' is a | '''Kabu''' is a recurring enemy in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It has appeared in many games, beginning with ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. It appears to be a head-like being, made mostly of stone; usually crimson or silver in color. Its face consists of two holes in place of eyes, a sculpted nose, and a perpetually open mouth. In some games, however, Kabu is cubical. | ||
Depending on the game, Kabu may attack in a large amount of ways, including jumping, sliding, flying, and even teleporting. [[ | Depending on the game, Kabu may attack in a large amount of ways, including jumping, sliding, flying, and even teleporting. [[Dekabu]], a larger counterpart of Kabu, can also spit out Kabus. [[Kirby]] can inhale and swallow Kabus, but in turn, does not receive a [[Copy Ability]]. | ||

Kabu debuted along with Kirby in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. Here, it can be found in the [[Float Islands]] level, in the caves. It can be found patrolling the walkways as well as nestled inside holes in the walls. It attacks by sliding into Kirby, and dropping down on him from above. It can also fade away, and reappear in different areas. In the [[Extra Game]], it is replaced by [[Grumples]]. | |||

In ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', Kabu appears as an enemy again, with a similar attack pattern. It still has the ability to phase in and out of sight, though it does this less often than in its previous appearance. | |||

In ''[[Kirby's Pinball Land]]'', Kabu (known here as '''Kaboo'''<ref>Name taken from ''Kirby's Pinball Land'' Instruction Booklet (American release), Page 9</ref>) appears in the lowermost board of [[Wispy-Woods Land]]. Six of them are arranged around the board, with a [[Dekabu|Big Kaboo]] in the middle. The side Kaboos are worth 360 points each time they are bumped. When the side Kaboos are bumped, they retreat into the walls of the board, leaving a small nub that is worth 180 points when bumped. Once all six Kaboos have been bumped, the Big Kaboo disappears, leaving a [[Warp Star]] behind. | |||

Kabu appears as one of the four basic grounded enemy types in ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'', with the others being [[Broom Hatter|Broomhatter]], [[Waddle Dee]] and [[Squishy]]. Kabu continuously spins, but do not move at all. When hit, it does not grant any special abilities. | |||

Kabu appears as a pre-boss enemy in [[Kirby's Block Ball - Stage 3|Stage 3]] and is worth 5000 points when defeated. It then appears alongside a [[Dekabu|big Kabu]] in the boss room of the same stage. | |||

In this game, Kabus may be seen warping in and out of visibility, and they may also occasionally launch like a rocket, leaving the area. Despite this odd behavior, they are as easy to defeat as any other common enemy, and do not have a lot of [[health]]. In [[Revenge of the King]], Kabu is replaced by a similar enemy called [[Grumples]]. | ||

Kabu makes an appearance in ''[[Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble]]''. Unlike some of its other appearances, Kabu is relatively tame here, opting to only sit in place and act as a roadblock which harms Kirby on impact.
