Backdrop does not have names for its attacks. However, the following moves can be performed with this ability:
*'''B''' - Lunge forward and grab an enemy or object. Kirby will stagger for a bit if he misses. (uses an [[inhale]] to grab enemies in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'')
*(after grabbing opponent or object)
**'''B''' or '''→''' - Jumps forward and slams the opponent into the ground.
**'''A''' - Does a big leap before slamming the opponent into the ground.
**'''↑''' - Jumps upward and performs a "back breaker" technique on the enemy.
**'''←''' - Dives backward with the enemy and slams them to the ground.
**'''↓''' - Jumps high into the air and then slams the opponent to the ground.
**(in midair) - Tosses the enemy diagonally downward and forward to the ground. This happens automatically after grabbing.
 
Backdrop cannot be used to grab Bosses or Mid-Bosses unless the latter have been downed. It can be used to grab [[Dropped Star]]s however, which can then be used to attack these foes by collateral collision.

==Trivia==
*Backdrop and [[Suplex]] are extremely similar, though the latter has more moves, and is also provided by [[Bugzzy]]. It can be presumed that Suplex has permanently replaced this ability.
*Kirby's forward and back throws in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] appear to be based on the Backdrop ability (although in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', his forward throw is based on the [[Ninja]] ability).
*The look that Kirby has when he possesses the Backdrop ability is similar to the one he has with the Fighter ability.
*Kirby's forward and back throws in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series appear to be based on the Backdrop ability.

Backdrop[1] (also spelled Back Drop[2]) is a Copy Ability from Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, obtainable by swallowing Bugzzy. It is similar to the Throw, Suplex and Fighter abilities, and in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land Kirby wears a red headband identical to the one Fighter Kirby originally had. With it, Kirby can grab an enemy or other object, and then use one of four different types of wrestling-style slams to defeat them, depending on which way the player taps on the D-pad. He is very strong with the ability, being able to stop bullets and lift defeated mid-bosses. Additionally, Kirby appears with the ability on the North American and European game covers of Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land (which, in reality, is artwork of Fighter Kirby from Kirby: Right Back at Ya!).

Moveset[edit]

Backdrop does not have names for its attacks. However, the following moves can be performed with this ability:

  • B - Lunge forward and grab an enemy or object. Kirby will stagger for a bit if he misses. (uses an inhale to grab enemies in Kirby's Adventure)
  • (after grabbing opponent or object)
    • B or → - Jumps forward and slams the opponent into the ground.
    • A - Does a big leap before slamming the opponent into the ground.
    • ↑ - Jumps upward and performs a "back breaker" technique on the enemy.
    • ← - Dives backward with the enemy and slams them to the ground.
    • ↓ - Jumps high into the air and then slams the opponent to the ground.
    • (in midair) - Tosses the enemy diagonally downward and forward to the ground. This happens automatically after grabbing.

Backdrop cannot be used to grab Bosses or Mid-Bosses unless the latter have been downed. It can be used to grab Dropped Stars however, which can then be used to attack these foes by collateral collision.
