'''Gim''' is an [[enemy]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. He is a robotic sphere with red feet, a blue baseball cap, exhaust pipes on his back, one green lens that serves as an eye, and a hole where the other eye would seem to go. He extends a hand from this hole, and uses the hand to swing a red yo-yo as a weapon.

[[File:KSS Gim.png|left]] [[File:KSSU Gim Sprite.png|left]] Gim appears mainly in mechanized areas. If [[Kirby]] is not within range, Gim walks slowly toward him, attacking him with his fast yo-yo when he gets close. When Kirby swallows Gim, he gets the [[Yo-Yo]] [[Copy Ability|ability]]. Changing the Yo-Yo ability into a [[Helper]] results in a Gim that has a blue hat and eye instead of green ones, which possesses all the abilities that Kirby does when using the Yo-Yo ability, and gains the [[Infinity Jump]] technique. If Kirby converts the Helper Gim into an object to re-swallow, he turns into a yo-yo.

Gim is playable in the [[Helper to Hero]] mode of ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''. In this mode, he has a silver body, purple shoes and a red eye and a green cap. Gim is the only enemy to produce the Yo-Yo ability when swallowed. Gim also appears on a card in [[Kirby Card Swipe]].

Gim can be found in the following places in ''Kirby Super Star'' and ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'':

 

After many years of absence, Gim makes his first 3D appearance in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. Like before, he provides the [[Yo-Yo]] ability and can also be recruited as a [[Helper|Friend]]. Gim gains his own adventure in the extra game, referred to as [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!|Guest Star Gim Up-and-Down Dynamo]].

 

 

*Interestingly, in ''Kirby Star Allies'', Gim is depicted having his arm extending out of the hole on his face in his official artwork for the game as per usual, however in-game his arm instead extends from the side of his body.
