'''Drill''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that equips [[Kirby]] with a yellow hard hat with a visor and a large drill on top. This ability allows Kirby to attack foes either directly using the drill, or by digging into the ground and popping up elsewhere to attack from below. This ability made its first (and so far only) appearance in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''.

— Figure description from Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Drill is a Copy Ability that equips Kirby with a yellow hard hat with a visor and a large drill on top. This ability allows Kirby to attack foes either directly using the drill, or by digging into the ground and popping up elsewhere to attack from below. This ability made its first appearance in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and has since reappeared in Kirby's Dream Buffet with a carrot motif.

Game appearances[edit]

Kirby and the Forgotten Land[edit]

Drill Kirby first appeared in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, where it can be obtained from the enemy Digguh. In addition to battling enemies, the Drill ability is also useful for unearthing various items from glowing dirt patches on the ground. It can also be used to remove small piles of sand.

There are two evolved forms for Drill—Pencil Drill and Twin Drill—both of which are unlocked by handing blueprints over at Waddle Dee's Weapons Shop. Pencil Drill Kirby can shoot out a pencil projectile out from his hat when he pops up out of the ground. Twin Drill uses two drills and can attack enemies while digging underneath them, and can also shoot a projectile when it emerges from the ground.

Moveset[edit]

All attack names are taken from the Kirby and the Forgotten Land Perfect Support Guide unless otherwise stated.

This ability is only available for a limited duration in the Battle Royale stages, and functions in largely the same way as it did in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, allowing Kirby to drill and attack his foes using Quake Surge.

Drill Kirby also appears on a Character Treat, using his artwork from Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

Weapons-Shop Waddle Dee:
The Drill ability will let you avoid most attacks by holding down B to burrow underground. If you burrow in a complete circle, you'll trigger a powerful Quake Surge to attack above you!
