After being absent from both ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', Water returns in this title. The main enemy who provides this ability is [[Driblee]], who also represents the ability as its [[Helper|Friend]]. It can be used in a number of [[Friend Ability|Friend Abilities]] including [[Curling|Splash Curling]] and [[Icicle Lance]]. It also provides the [[Power Effect|Splash]] element to many other abilities.

Water returns in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'' as a selectable ability for Kirby. It is unlocked after attaining [[Fighters Rank]] 30. Its move-set is largely the same as in ''Kirby Star Allies'', though the abilities involving bodies of water have been removed (due to there being no water in the game).
Water returns in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'' as a selectable ability for Kirby. It is unlocked after attaining [[Fighters Rank]] 30. Its moveset is largely the same as in ''Kirby Star Allies'', albeit with the omission of the "Enhanced Water Gun" move due to the lack of bodies of water in all of the game's [[Battle Stage]]s.

===Other appearances===
Water was intended to appear in the canceled ''[[Kirby for Nintendo GameCube]]'' game, which would have marked its first game appearance. Its design in the game resembled the ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'' one a lot more than the later ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' design.

Water actually first appeared as a Copy Ability in the anime series. It makes a single appearance in the episode [[Air-Ride-in-Style - Part II]] as the result of a Copy Ability design contest held in Japan (being submitted by Takahiro Tonoe from Aichi prefecture) though it is only used in a dream sequence, making its [[canon|canonicity]] questionable. Kirby gains this ability by inhaling large amounts of water from the ocean.
Water actually first appeared as a Copy Ability in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''. It makes a single appearance in the episode [[Air-Ride-in-Style - Part II]] as the result of it being one of the winners in the Japan-only ''[[Kirby of the Stars: New Ability Contest]]'' (being submitted by Takahiro Tonoe from Aichi prefecture). However, it is only used in a dream sequence, making its [[Continuity|canonicity]] questionable. Kirby gains this ability by inhaling large amounts of water from the ocean.


Water Kirby in the anime bears a somewhat different design to his later appearance in the games. He has a slightly different crown and his body has a blue, translucent, water-like texture. Despite this, the ability functions largely the same as it would later, as Kirby uses spouts of water from his mouth to attack. Notably, the ability allows him to use the [[Water Gun]] outside of water in this instance.
