| '''Ball''' is a [[Copy Ability]] appearing rarely in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]].

| Ball can be a tricky ability to use, as the timing for damaging enemies with it can be rather strict at times. Pressing the '''B''' button transforms Kirby into ball form. From here, he can roll around or bounce when the player holds the '''A''' button. Successive bounces while the button is held can gain considerable height, and Kirby is able to harm enemies when he is sparkling while bouncing. Pressing '''B''' again reverts Kirby to normal.

| | The ability made its first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and returns in its remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land|Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. It can be acquired by either inhaling [[Bubbles]] or the various baseballs painted by [[Paint Roller]] during the [[boss]] battle against him. Although Kirby's appearance does not change while in possession of the ability in ''Kirby's Adventure'', he sports a rubber band-like visor in ''Nightmare in Dream Land''. |

| ===''Kirby's Adventure'' / ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===
| | In ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse|Canvas Curse]]'', Kirby transforms while pursuing [[Drawcia]], attempting to halt [[Dream Land]] from transforming into a portrait. However, the Ball form in this game is significantly different from the ability seen in other games, as Kirby travels in only one direction, uses the [[Dash Attack]], and can receive other Copy Abilities while retaining the shape of a ball, making it more of an overall form than a traditional ability. |

| The ability made its first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and returns in its remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. It can be acquired by either inhaling [[Bubbles]] or the various baseballs painted by [[Paint Roller]] during the [[boss]] battle against him. It can also be found in the [[Grape Garden]] [[Museum]]. Although Kirby's appearance does not change while in possession of the ability in ''Kirby's Adventure'', he sports a rubber band-like visor when not in ball form in ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''.

| ===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===
| |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Ball Kirby appears as a [[smashwiki:Trophy|trophy]], and is one of the three trophies to depict a copy ability from the games. Its description treats it as the same thing as the [[Kirby Ball]] form.

| ===Similar appearances===
| |
| {{Main|Kirby Ball}}
| |
| In several games, such as ''[[Kirby's Pinball Land]]'', ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]'', and ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', Kirby is depicted without limbs in ball form. However, these appearances should not be confused with the Ball ability proper, as Kirby Ball is taken to be default Kirby in these games.

| |''When Kirby swallows a ball enemy, he turns into a ball and can bounce off of floors and walls. It's tough to control, but well worth it for the strong attack power it gives Kirby. After his debut in Kirby's Adventure, Ball Kirby has popped up in several more Kirby games, such as Kirby's Pinball Land and Kirby's Block Ball.''
