'''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.

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: Squeak Squad]]''.

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.

In ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', the ability is re-titled to Burning, but otherwise functions exactly the same.
In ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', the ability is re-titled to Burning, but otherwise functions exactly the same. Here the ability gets its own hat, being a tiara with a flame emblem. Burning also sets Kirby's hands on fire while the ability is not in use, but this is purely cosmetic.
 
Burning was merged into the Fire ability for most of ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''{{'}}s development, like it was in ''Kirby Super Star''. Near the end of development, designer Teruhiko Suzuki insisted upon splitting them, working overtime to ensure they would be separate.<ref>[https://shmuplations.com/kirbynightmare/ ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'' – 2002 Developer Interview (translated by shmuplations.com)]</ref>

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:

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.

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.

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.
