'''Tick''' is a recurring enemy debuting in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. Its appearance is that of a white blob with a pair of big, round eyes, a smiling mouth and an extendable red spike atop its head. Its facial expression changes depending on what it is doing, being able to switch from friendly to malicious and back again.

Tick performs a special role in the [[Jumping]] Sub-Game of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. It will jab Kirby should he land on the wrong space, forcing the end of the game.

Tick makes its debut appearance in 3-D in this game. It behaves largely the same as it did in the previous game, and still provides the [[Needle]] ability. Tick appears on the 48th [[Enemy Info Card]].

A larger mid-boss variant of Tick appears in [[Aqua Star - Stage 1|stage 1 of]] [[Aqua Star]]. This larger Tick does not do much, but smaller Ticks appear continuously down below which try to jab at Kirby in the meantime.

===''Kirby: Canvas Curse''===
[[File:KCC Tick sprite.png]] Tick returns in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', with a similar look and attack strategy as it had in ''Kirby's Dream Land 3''. It is a fairly uncommon enemy, and can be easily bested by tapping it with the [[Nintendo DS]] stylus before running into it with Kirby to gain the [[Needle]] ability.


In this game, Tick has a different design. Its body is beige instead of white, and its mouth is not visible, except when defeated.


===''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''===
==== Locations ====
In ''Kirby: Canvas Curse'''s main game, Tick appears only in the [[Neo Greo]] stage [[Dreamy Darkness]].
 
=== ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' ===
[[File:KRtDL Tick.jpg|thumb|Tick in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'']]
Tick appears much the same as in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' and has a similar game plan.
