| “ | “Finally, it’s my turn!” With word of a mechanized invasion in the the[sic] works, Gim sets out on a journey! What does the robot see? Why does he use his mischievous gimmick? Who knows? |
” | — Guest Star Gim Up-and-Down Dynamo Pause Screen description in Kirby Star Allies |
Gim is an enemy which debuted in Kirby Super Star. He is a robotic sphere with red feet, a blue baseball cap, exhaust pipes on his back, one green lens that serves as an eye, and a hole where the other eye would seem to go. He extends a hand from this hole, and uses the hand to swing a red yo-yo as a weapon.
Game appearances
Kirby Super Star (Ultra)
Gim appears mainly in mechanized areas. If Kirby is not within range, Gim walks slowly toward him, attacking him with his fast yo-yo when he gets close. When Kirby swallows Gim, he gets the Yo-Yo ability. Changing the Yo-Yo ability into a Helper results in a Gim that has a blue hat and eye instead of green ones, which possesses all the abilities that Kirby does when using the Yo-Yo ability, and gains the Infinity Jump technique. If Kirby converts the Helper Gim into an object to re-swallow, he turns into a yo-yo.
Gim is playable in the Helper to Hero mode of Kirby Super Star Ultra. In this mode, he has a silver body, purple shoes and a red eye and a green cap. Gim is the only enemy to produce the Yo-Yo ability when swallowed.
