{{distinguish|the ability Burning, once called Fireball|[[Fire]], another similarly-named fire ability}}
'''Burning''' (also known as '''Burn''', '''Flame''', or '''Fireball''') is a [[Copy Ability]] obtained by absorbing specific types of fiery enemies in early [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' games]], and it gives [[Kirby]] the ability to charge towards his enemies while being engulfed in flames. This ability, though similar in element, is distinct from the early [[Fire]] ability, which instead involves breathing a cone of flame while holding still. This is one of Kirby's oldest Copy Abilities, making its debut in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', though it has largely been subsumed into [[Fire]]'s move-set in later titles. 

== Characteristics ==
[[File:KaTAM Moonlight Mansion Goal 1.png|thumb|left|Burning allows Kirby to turn into a blazing fireball in order to tackle other fiery foes.]]
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. This attack would emulate the Burning ability's function, while being somewhat less potent. The two abilities would continue to appear separately from one another at regular intervals until ''Kirby: Canvas Curse''. This game marked Burning's final appearance as a distinct ability until ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', seventeen years later. Starting with ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', Burning would almost exclusively appear as part of Fire's moveset.

===''Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===
[[File:KA Fireball icon.png|left]]
[[File:KNiDL Burning icon.png|right]]
Burning first appears in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', where it is called Fireball. Absorbing [[Flamer]] or [[Fire Lion]] allows Kirby to use this ability.

In ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', the ability is re-titled to Burning, but otherwise functions exactly the same.
{{clear|left}}

===''Kirby's Dream Course''===
[[File:KDCFireballIcon.png|left]]
Burning, referred to as "Fireball" in-game, reappears in ''Kirby's Dream Course'', and is once again provided by [[Flamer]]. It can be used to dash forward at rapid speeds, similar to [[Wheel]]. If used to hit an opponent in 2 player mode, the other player burns for a few seconds and is launched into the air.
{{clear|left}}

===''Kirby's Dream Land 2''===
[[File:KDL2 Burning Icon.png|left]]
Burning appears in this game, provided by [[Flamer]], [[Efreeti]], and the [[Drop Star]]s from [[Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright|Mr. Bright]]'s sunbeam attack. By himself, Kirby can use this move for its usual effect, but it gains additional powers when combined with the [[Animal Friend]]s:

|}

===''Kirby's Block Ball''===
{{Quote|The ball burns for a period of time, running through the blocks it strikes.|''Kirby's Block Ball'' North American instruction booklet}}
Burning (called '''Flame''' in-game and '''Burn''' in the manual) appears in this game, and can be obtained from [[Flamer]] or from an Ability Changer. Using this power, Kirby can fly straight upward and pass through many types of blocks, only coming to a stop when hitting a stronger obstacle or the paddle. It can be seen as the opposite of [[Stone]] in this game, as it travels straight up while Stone travels straight down.

===''Kirby Super Star/Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
While not appearing directly in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|its remake]], the move pattern of Burning is integrated in the games' regular [[Fire]] ability, specifically through its Dash + B move, Burn. This is the first game where Burning is folded into Fire's moveset, which would later become a series standard.

===''Kirby's Dream Land 3''===
[[File:KDL3 I Burning.png|right]]
Burning reappears in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' as the sole fire-based ability in the game. It can be obtained by inhaling fire enemies like [[Bobo]], [[Magoo]], or [[Boboo]]. Just like in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', using this ability in its basic form causes [[Kirby]] (or [[Gooey]]) to briefly launch himself forward in form of a fire ball.

====Combinations====
As in ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'', the Burning ability can be combined with any of Kirby's [[Animal Friend]]s, both old and new, to create a new power. The following combinations are possible:

|-
|[[Rick]]
|align=center|[[File:KDL3 Rick Burning sprite.png]]
|Rick uses a fire breath against enemies. This looks very similar to the Fire ability.
|}

===''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''===
[[File:K64 Base Burn.png|left]]
In ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', the Burn ability allows Kirby to perform a flame dash which charges through enemies. If Kirby obtains two Burn power ups, the dash will become much stronger and will last longer.
{{clear|left}}

===''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''===
[[File:KNiDL Burning icon.png|left]]
Acting the same as it did in ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'', Burning reappears in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' alongside Fire. It can be obtained from Flamer and the [[Mid-Boss]] [[Batafire]]. It can also be obtained by swallowing the fire bullets from [[Master Hand]] and [[Crazy Hand]].

Unlike most abilities in that game, Burning does not reappear in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', but is instead integrated with Fire like in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. This is also the last mainline appearance of Burning as its own Copy Ability.

===''Kirby: Canvas Curse''===
[[File:KirbyCC fire icons.png|right]]
In ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', Kirby can obtain Burning by defeating a [[Flamer]] or [[Bobo]]. The 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.

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
In ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', Burning Kirby appears on one of the collectible [[keychain]]s, using a sprite from ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''.

===''Kirby's Dream Buffet''===
[[File:KDB Burning Kirby screenshot.jpg|thumb|150px|Burning Kirby, as seen in ''Kirby's Dream Buffet''.]]
After over a decade of absence, Burning Kirby makes a reappearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'' as a single-use [[Copy Food]] ability, taking the form of a chili pepper. It functions the same as prior titles (but in a 3D space). Unlike prior titles, the player can control Kirby's direction of movement as he charges forward. If used to hit an opponent, the other player is launched into the air and knocked back. If the player mashes R while using the ability, Kirby is given a small burst of extra speed. Kirby will not roll off edges while using this ability.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Kirby uses the Burning ability as his dash attack. Notably, this attack allows him to pass through his opponents, but in ''Melee'', it would not stop Kirby from falling off of ledges while the move was in effect, much unlike how it functions in the ''Kirby'' games. In ''Ultimate'', the burning tackle simply stops at ledges instead.

===''Kirby's Dream Course'' manual===
*''"This lets Kirby turn into a fireball, making him accelerate quickly. Kirby can move a greater distance for a pre-set period of time. If Kirby hits a bumper, he bounces back."''

===''Kirby's Block Ball'' manual===
*''"The ball burns for a period of time, and it moves straight up."''

==Trivia==
*Burning has been largely dissolved as an ability by being incorporated into [[Fire]]'s moveset. Its last main series appearance was in ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'', and its only appearances since then have been spin-offs where Fire does not appear.
