'''Rocky''' is a recurring foe throughout the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], making its debut in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and appearing in many of the games released since then. It resembles a walking stone with a pair of flat feet, black eyes and often a bandana. While its {{colour}}s may vary between appearances, it is most commonly depicted as brown or orange with yellow feet.

'''Rocky''' is a reoccurring [[enemy]] throughout the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], making his debut in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and appearing in many of the games released since then. He resembles a walking stone with a pair of flat feet, black eyes and often a corded headband which closely resembles [[Hammer]] [[Kirby]]'s headband. While his colors may vary between appearances, he is most commonly depicted as brown or orange with yellow feet.
Rockies commonly situate themselves atop tall columns, [[Star Block]]s or other high-elevation objects. Their location is significant in terms of how they attack: Rocky uses its high perch as leverage to drop down on Kirby as he is walking by, in an effort to squish him with its weight. In the event that Rocky misses, it will rise, exposing its feet, and slowly walk around. In some of its appearances, if Kirby as on the same level as Rocky, the foe will jump to a location in the air right above Kirby and hesitate a beat before attempting to fall on top of him once more. As a Rocky can only fall straight down, however, its attacks can be easily avoided by moving out of the way.


While a Rocky is vulnerable to all attacks, defeating it by any means other than inhaling can take a long time in any game that assigns health meters to enemies due to the enemy's sturdiness. As one would expect, if Rocky is ingested, Kirby will receive the [[Stone]] [[Copy Ability]].
Rocky commonly situates himself atop a tall cliff, column, on high [[block]]s, or other high-elevation objects. His position is significant in terms of how he attacks: Rocky uses his high perch as leverage to drop down while Kirby is walking by, in an effort to squish the pink puffball with his weight. In the event that Rocky misses, he will rise, exposing his feet, and slowly walk around. In some of his appearances, if Kirby is on the same level as Rocky, the foe will jump to a location in the air right above Kirby and hesitate a beat before attempting to fall on top of him once more. As Rocky can only fall straight down, however, his attacks can be easily avoided by moving out of the way.


Rocky can also be made into a [[Helper]] in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' ([[Kirby Super Star Ultra|Ultra]]) and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.
While Rocky is vulnerable to all attacks, defeating him by any means other than [[Inhale|inhaling]] can take a long time in any game that assigns health meters to enemies due to his exceptional hardiness. True to his name and appearance, inhaling Rocky will grant Kirby the [[Stone]] [[Copy Ability]]. Rocky can also be made into a [[Helper]] in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

==Names in Other Languages==
Due to his ubiquity and longevity in the series, Rocky has a number of cousin enemies, which are usually bigger and hardier than himself. These include the [[Mid-Boss]]es [[Blocky]] and [[Moundo]], as well as [[Giant Rocky]] from ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', and [[Metalun]] from ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]''.

===''Kirby's Block Ball''===
[[File:KBBa Rocky sprite.png]] Rocky appears in ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]'' as a common enemy, being introduced in [[Kirby's Block Ball - Stage 5|Stage 5]]. He is worth 1000 points when collided with, and provides Kirby with the Stone ability.
 
===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
[[File:Cocoa Cave KSSU Warp Star.png|thumb|200px|Kirby flies into a blue Rocky in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''.]]
[[File:KSS Rocky Sprite.png]] [[File:KSSU Rocky Helper sprite.png]] Rocky returns as an enemy in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. He reuses his look from ''Kirby's Adventure'' with the addition of a corded headband, which he keeps in most later games. Unlike many of his previous and subsequent appearances, he is often encountered in a blue hue as an enemy. Additionally, when hit, Rocky appears to fracture for a moment before reconstituting himself. When recruited as a [[helper]], Rocky gains access to all of [[Stone]] Kirby's moves, and also gains the [[Infinity Jump]].

[[File:K64 Rock Star Stage 2 screenshot 03.png|thumb|200px|Kirby moves past a Rocky prepared to fall on him in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''.]]
[[File:K64 Rocky Sprite.png]] Rocky makes his 3D debut in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' with a greatly simplified appearance, consisting only of a rounded rock with a pair of black eyes and orange feet, bearing a similar appearance to [[Metalun]]. He typically waits at a high altitude for Kirby to approach, and then tucks his feet in to start rolling off the edge of his precipice hoping fall swiftly onto Kirby. From there, he will try to walk back and forth slowly. Unlike in most other games, Rocky is comparatively rare in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'', due to the fact that many other enemies in the game also provide the [[Stone]] ability.
 
Rocky also makes an appearance on the 11th [[Enemy Info Card]].

[[File:KNiDL Rocky sprite.png]] Rocky appears in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', looking and functioning exactly as he did in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. Additionally, [[Droppy]] can take on his likeness after it obtains the [[Stone]] Copy Ability from Kirby. This game also features a larger variant of Rocky, fittingly named [[Giant Rocky]].
 
====Locations====
In ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'', Rocky may be found in all areas of the [[Mirror World]], except for [[Carrot Castle]], [[Radish Ruins]], and inside the [[Dimension Mirror|mirror at the end]].

{{clear}}
 
==Trivia==
*When recruited as a [[Helper]] or otherwise playable, Rocky consistently has more health than most other playable characters.
**In ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', he has the highest health out of every helper, and is only surpassed by [[Kirby]].
**In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', Rocky has the highest health of all allies, not including [[Dream Friend]]s.
*Despite being a relatively passive helper, Rocky is used in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! for the world record 100% [[speedrun]] of ''Kirby Star Allies'' (individual Guest Star speedruns tend to be dominated by [[The Three Mage-Sisters]] instead, but they are not initially available to play as when unlocking the mode).
