'''Laser Ball''' is a flying spheroid creature which can shoot lasers from its eyes. It made its first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and can be found in other main-series [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' games]] up until ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. As its name suggests, Laser Ball is the most common enemy to give out the [[Laser]] ability, but in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|remake]], it yields the [[Beam]] ability instead. Laser Ball attacks [[Kirby]] by floating in his direction, and proceeds to shoot lasers at him. Unlike most enemies, Laser Ball can fly through walls, often retreating at great speed after it fires its rounds at Kirby.
