The '''Water Gun''' is an attack that [[Kirby]] can use while [[Water (environment)|underwater]]. The attack is characterized by Kirby blowing jets of water and/or streams of bubbles out from his mouth at enemies to defeat them.

If Kirby has the [[Sword]], [[Parasol]], [[Hammer]], [[UFO]], [[Metal]], [[Spear]], [[Bell]], or [[Staff]] abilities, he cannot perform this attack underwater, but he can use the respective ability underwater instead. If Kirby has any other ability besides these, he will still use the Water Gun.

If Kirby has the [[Water]] ability, his water gun powers up into the '''Enhanced Water Gun''', which attacks multiple targets and reaches further than the normal Water Gun. Additionally, starting with ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|{{KRtDL KAW}}]]'', Kirby can use the '''Stealth Water Gun''' if he has the [[Ninja]] ability, which allows him to attack upwards from the water's surface.

==Game appearances==
===''Kirby's Adventure'' / ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===
[[File:KA Vegetable Valley Stage 3 screenshot 04.png|thumb|150px|Kirby using the Water Gun in ''Kirby's Adventure''.]]
This was the first game to feature this attack, and has featured in nearly every main series ''Kirby'' game since then. While underwater, Kirby can continuously fire a water jet from his mouth, which can be aimed in the four primary directions. Its range is about on par with the [[Needle]] ability, though it only aims in one direction at a time. While not the most powerful attack, it is an effective deterrent in much the same way that [[Air Bullet]]s are. Kirby cannot move and will slowly sink while executing this attack.

===''Kirby's Dream Land 2''===
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', the Water Gun returns, and is characterized as a stream of bubbles. Other than that, it functions the same as before, with the same range.

===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
[[File:KSS Water Gun demonstration.png|thumb|150px|Kirby using his Water Gun in ''Kirby Super Star''.]]
Water Gun takes a new form in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. It is characterized as a single burst water projectile that fires in whatever direction Kirby is facing and travels for decent range, on par with the [[Cutter]] ability.

===''Kirby's Dream Land 3''===
Kirby's Water Gun in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' functions much like it did in ''Kirby's Dream Land 2''. Unfortunately, it is downgraded in the sense that it can't be re-aimed and can only be fired left or right. Its range is slightly better though, on par with [[Fire]] or [[Ice]].

Kirby's Water Gun in this game also has the unique property of being able to deflect the objects that [[Acro]] will try to throw at him.

===''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' / ''{{KSqS KMoA}}''===
In ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', Water Gun looks and behaves exactly like it did in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''.

===''{{KRtDL KAW}}''===
Water Gun in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|{{KRtDL KAW}}]]'' functions much like it did in ''Kirby Super Star''. Additionally, some Copy Abilities will give it additional functions:
*The [[Water]] ability powers it up to an "Enhanced Water Gun," allowing it to strike multiple targets and reach further.
*The [[Ninja]] ability grants a stealth variety when used on the water's surface that fires upward out of the water. The utility of this ability is somewhat situational.

Kirby is the only character who uses the Water Gun, as the other characters will use their weapons.

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' / ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
[[File:KTD Water Gun.png|thumb|[[Ninja]] Kirby's stealthy Water Gun.]]
Water Gun returns (with only a slight visual change) in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' with more or less the same functionality from its previous appearance in ''{{KRtDL KAW}}''. With the absence of the Water ability, only the Ninja variant is available in addition to the default.

===''Kirby Star Allies''===
In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', Water Gun still behaves like it did since ''{{KRtDL KAW}}'', but now it can be fired in 8 directions (including the four diagonal directions). The [[Water]] ability returns in this game along with its Enhanced Water Gun.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', Kirby is able to inhale underwater, as opposed to using the Water Gun. This is the only game where he is able to do this without assistance from [[Kine]] or any other ability. Additionally, Kirby can use any ability underwater in this game, though their range and speed are impeded.
*While the Water Gun is usually not usable in [[boss]] battles, it can be used to attack [[Gobbler]], [[Void Soul]] and [[Void]] underwater.
