Flare Beam: Difference between revisions

'''Flare Beam''' is a [[Super Ability]] in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''. It is an extremely powerful variation of the [[Beam]] [[Copy Ability]], and is obtained by swallowing a [[Super Waddle Doo]].

With Flare Beam, Kirby possesses the ability to control a large beam ball of electricity to destroy blocks and enemies, as well as activate special star blocks that help open up a path once all of those blocks are activated.

However, guiding the electric ball is not as easy as it sounds due to its large momentum. Pressing the jump button (or the attack button in the remake) at any time during Flare Beam cancels the current attack, which is important in order to save the limited use time of the Super Ability.

*[[Magolor]] can also obtain the power of Flare Beam from the [[Master Crown]], using it as one of his Super Ability attacks during the battle with his [[Magolor (second form)|second boss form]]. Unlike Kirby, Magolor will surround himself with dark electricity and orbiting Magic Spheres, making himself a giant Flare Beam to tackle Kirby. In addition, [[Magolor Soul]] in Extra Mode and the Wii version's [[The True Arena|True Arena]] summons another electric ball of the same size so there will be two Flare Beams bouncing off the stage and trying to ram Kirby in unison. The True Arena in ''Deluxe'' ups that number to three.
