The Burning ability is one of Kirby's most distinct and iconic powers from the early days of his series. Upon obtaining this ability in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', Kirby dons a golden crown with a small red flame emblem attached to it. Also, while moving around, his hands are ablaze. In all earlier appearances, however, he gains no distinct change in appearance until using his fireball tackle attack. The attack itself automatically halts Kirby's vertical momentum and sends him careening at high speed straight forward, plowing through enemies, metal [[block]]s, and other obstacles along the way. While traveling in this fashion, Kirby cannot be harmed by most things, though there is a brief window of vulnerability after finishing the attack where Kirby cannot move freely. This makes using the attack above [[bottomless pit]]s or near [[spike]]s dangerous. Additionally, if Kirby slams into a wall while using the attack, he will recoil and bounce upward slightly. In certain situations, this can actually aid his movement, particularly in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', where Kirby is otherwise dependent on [[Rainbow Line]]s to move upward.

In the games that Burning appears in, the ability can mainly be obtained from enemies such as [[Flamer]], [[Fire Lion]], [[Efreeti]], and [[Bobo]]. Though once distinct from the Fire ability, the two began to merge starting with ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', when Fire gained the "Burn" move, emulating the Burning ability's function, though not being quite as potent. The two abilities would continue to appear separately from one another at regular intervals until ''Kirby: Canvas Curse'', which served as Burning's final appearance as a distinct ability. From then on, it would be permanently subsumed into Fire, starting with ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''.

In ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', Kirby can obtain Burning by defeating a [[Flamer]] or [[Bobo]]. Burning ability functions very much like in the previous games; however, the player must touch Kirby in order to activate it. When activated, the Burning ability destroys any gray blocks and blocks marked with a fire sign. Unlike in other games, however, it cannot be used to break [[Metal Block]]s. One useful side-effect of the Burning ability is its upward recoil when hitting walls, allowing Kirby to gain height without the use of Rainbow Lines.

Though not a gameplay effect, when the player draws the picture quickly in [[Paint Panic]], Kirby flies forward as if he activated Burning.
