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. | The Burning ability is one of Kirby's most distinct and iconic powers from the early days of his series.

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 | 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: Squeak Squad]]''. | ||
