A '''Dive Attack''' refers to the ability to attack an enemy by falling onto them from a sufficient distance.
A '''Dive Attack'''<ref name="KDL manual">[https://www.thegameisafootarcade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Kirbys-Dream-Land-Game-Manual.pdf Name taken from ''Kirby's Dream Land'' Instruction Booklet (NA print), page 12]</ref> refers to the ability to attack an enemy by falling onto them from a sufficient distance.


Debuting in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', Kirby assumes a headlong falling position once he has fallen (while not puffed up) for long enough. Once in this position, he can then [[Damage|harm]] an enemy without taking damage himself if he lands on it, assuming that enemy is not invulnerable. This can also be used to nullify damage from certain projectiles, such as [[Waddle Doo]]'s [[Beam]] attack.

This move can be performed in nearly every main series ''Kirby'' game, though it has grown gradually less effective over the series timeline. Starting in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', Kirby can manually activate a Dive Attack by initiating a [[Quick Fall]].

==Trivia==
*In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Kirby's free-falling animation (which is rarely seen) resembles the dive attack position. However, it cannot do damage in these games.
