'''Hi-Jump''' is an infrequent [[Copy Ability]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. [[Kirby]] can get it by swallowing a [[Starman]], and while using the ability, he gains a winged circlet and superhero-like cape. Using this ability, Kirby can jump very high, damaging foes he collides with and gaining invincibility during the jump. Later games would expand Hi-Jump's movement capabilities, allowing Kirby to leap even while in the air, or even rocket downward with a similarly devastating dive, with steering controls for both directions that are tricky to master, but allow for pin-point precision.

It is well-advised to use this ability to quickly reach the battlefield.

{{construction}}
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'', Kirby can obtain the Hi-Jump ability by colliding with an enemy [[Starman]]. When acquiring this ability, Kirby can make a large high leap in a given direction, defeating enemies he comes into contact with and clearing tall walls and gaps. This jump can also be used in midair, but can only be done once per shot.

=== ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' ===
The Hi-Jump ability has gained some new features in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', most notably the ability to charge, and jump downward in midair. However, this ability has received significantly slower execution in ''Return to Dream Land'' than in previous games, which, combined with its decreased damage output, makes it one of the least viable abilities for a boss battle in this game.

Hi-Jump is an infrequent Copy Ability that debuted in Kirby's Adventure. Kirby can get it by swallowing a Starman, and while using the ability, he gains a winged circlet and superhero-like cape. Using this ability, Kirby can jump very high, damaging foes he collides with and gaining invincibility during the jump. Later games would expand Hi-Jump's movement capabilities, allowing Kirby to leap even while in the air, or even rocket downward with a similarly devastating dive, with steering controls for both directions that are tricky to master, but allow for pin-point precision.

Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[edit]

KA Hi-Jump icon.png
Kirby using Hi-Jump to traverse a field of Star Blocks in Kirby's Adventure.

The Hi-Jump ability debuted in Kirby's Adventure and also appears in its remake, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. While having no costume in the original Kirby's Adventure, Hi-Jump Kirby gets his signature cape in its remake. It is only provided by Starman, and there is a Museum for it in Butter Building.

Notably, this ability has a prominent role in the boss battle with Kracko in Grape Garden. At the beginning of the boss stage, Kirby must ascend the sky until he reaches the final destination for the battle with Kracko, while avoiding Kracko Jr. on the way. It is well-advised to use this ability to quickly reach the battlefield.

In Kirby's Adventure, Hi-Jump deals 8 damage.[1] In Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Hi-Jump deals 10 damage - equal to that of a Star Bullet.[2] In both games, Hi-Jump can be canceled in midair by pressing B, which, if used skillfully, gives it one of the highest DPS of all abilities for boss battle.

Kirby's Dream Course[edit]

In Kirby's Dream Course, Kirby can obtain the Hi-Jump ability by colliding with an enemy Starman. When acquiring this ability, Kirby can make a large high leap in a given direction, defeating enemies he comes into contact with and clearing tall walls and gaps. This jump can also be used in midair, but can only be done once per shot.

Kirby: Squeak Squad[edit]

In Kirby: Squeak Squad, Hi-Jump deals 20 damage (for reference, Star Bullet deals 40 in this game).

In addition, this ability can be upgraded by obtaining its Ability Scroll which can be found in Cushy Cloud Stage 4. While not increasing its damage output, Hi-Jump Scroll increases its attack hitbox and allows this ability to break Metal Blocks.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]

Kirby using Hi-Jump to crash through enemies in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

The Hi-Jump ability has gained some new features in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, most notably the ability to charge, and jump downward in midair. However, this ability has received significantly slower execution in Kirby's Return to Dream Land compared to previous games.

One of the Challenge Stages is devoted to the Hi-Jump ability.

In Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Hi-Jump Kirby appears as a randomly-obtained keychain, using his sprite from Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. Hi-Jump Kirby does not appear as an ability in Kirby: Triple Deluxe proper.

Kirby's Dream Buffet[edit]

Hi-Jump Kirby, as seen in Kirby's Dream Buffet.

Hi-Jump appears as one of the Copy Food abilities in Kirby's Dream Buffet, obtained by collecting a Hi-Jump Gummy from a Food Box. Here, instead of giving Kirby his familiar cape, it transforms him into a coiled gummy spring. He can then perform a single massive leap from his position to land further down on the race track. By holding the R button down upon activation, the landing location can be adjusted. When he lands, any racers near the landing site will be knocked back.
