Stone first appeared in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', and is typically provided by [[Rocky]] or [[Blocky]]. Other rarer providers of the ability include [[Gansan]], [[Cairn]], [[Moundo]], [[Golem]], and [[Hack]]. Certain boss attacks, like those of [[Wham Bam Rock]], [[King Golem]], or [[Clanky Woods]], may also provide the ability.

Stone is among the simplest and most straightforward of Kirby's Copy Abilities, though it has a lot of variants and emergent uses. In its simplest form, Kirby transforms into a solid immobile object which is affected only by gravity. In this state, Kirby becomes immune to all but the strongest enemy attacks, though this is counterbalanced by the fact that his movement options become extremely limited if not completely absent. Due to the amount of time it often takes for Kirby to use his Stone Change, whether turning into the stone or transforming back to normal, it is often impractical to use Stone offensively, particularly during boss fights. When transformed, Stone Kirby falls extremely quickly, which is useful for certain vertical stage sections, but Kirby should be careful not to fall too far in many places, as he might be lost to a [[bottomless pit]] before he can change back. Falling into a hazardous area like a [[spike]] pit can also be problematic, as Kirby is basically guaranteed to take a hit as soon as he transforms back. One other notable aspect of Stone Kirby in most of his appearances is his ability to slide down slopes, which can be used in many cases to travel quickly and safely through tight tunnels packed with enemies. Stone Kirby's heavy weight also allows him to quickly sink in water, pound [[Stake]]s, and break [[metal block]]s.

Stone makes its debut along with the concept of [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] themselves in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. This game establishes Stone as an ability that causes Kirby to transform into a rock, and plummet downward, becoming all but invulnerable and dealing damage on impact. However, Stone Kirby's signature ability to slide down slopes is not present in this game, nor is it in the remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. Kirby also only has one form here, that being a pink-ish rock with a level bottom and two closed eyes on it. The ability is provided solely by [[Rocky]] or via a [[Mix]].

Stone returns in ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'', where it functions similar to the [[Needle]] ability. When used, Stone causes Kirby to stop moving, and this can also be used in mid-air to force Kirby to fall straight down. However, if Kirby lands on a slope, he will slowly slide down it. The ability is obtained from [[Rocky]].

Notably, in the 2P Game, when Stone is used, it will be held during the opponent's turn, even if a different ability was acquired while using the Stone form. Additionally, while in Stone form, attacks from the other player can be resisted. Stone cannot be used to protect against hazards such as [[Gordo]]s, however.

Stone Kirby reappears in ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'' as a [[Copy Food]] ability, available only in [[Battle Royale (Kirby's Dream Buffet)|Battle Royale]] stages and activated by using up the Stone Chocolate Copy Food. When activated, Kirby turns into a chocolate bar and pounds the ground, creating a shockwave that launches opponents into the air and knocks them back. If the player holds R while activating the ability, a bigger shockwave is produced. Despite Stone's usual reputation for being nearly invincible, Stone Kirby cannot resist another Kirby using [[Invincible Candy]] or being grabbed by the tongs.

{{SmashWiki|Stone}}
In all of the installments of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, Kirby's down special move is the Stone ability, and behaves exactly as it does in ''Kirby's Adventure''. Starting with ''Melee'', Kirby transforms into various objects: the default pink rock, a 100-ton weight, a spiked ball, a [[mariowiki:Thwomp|Thwomp]] from the ''Mario'' universe, Lip's garbage block from ''[[nwiki:Panel de Pon|Panel de Pon]]'', and in ''Ultimate'', a Treasure Chest from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]''. There are a few key differences in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, however: Kirby can only remain in stone form for a short period of time, he is vulnerable to grabs, and he may still be harmed if he is hit by a powerful enough attack.

Two custom moves can also be used in place of the original once unlocked in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. The first, '''Grounding Stone''', has Kirby take a bit longer to transform before falling, but he can bury opponents into the ground when hit. The second, '''Meteor Stone''', can meteor smash opponents when hit, with Kirby taking longer to transform back to normal upon pressing the special attack button again or after a certain amount of time passes.
