'''Jerkweed''' is a common [[device]] found in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' that resembles a green curly vine. Jerkweed is often found hanging from ceilings or attached to other objects. The player can toss [[Kirby]]s onto these to pull them down. When pulled, Jerkweeds often release fruit, and the Kirbys that pull it can destroy any [[metal block]]s below as they fall. Some Jerkweeds swap places with harmful thorny vines while others move along a path, making it possible to destroy metal blocks in different locations. Jerkweeds can also conceal [[Medal]]s or enemies such as [[Snoozroot]].
'''Jerkweed''' is a common object found in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', resembling a green curly vine often found hanging from ceilings or attached to other objects. [[Kirby|Kirbys]] can be tossed onto these to pull them down and cause various things to happen. When pulled, Jerkweeds often release fruit, and the leftover vine can have the same falling effect as a defeated enemy, allowing [[Block#Metal Block|Metal Blocks]] underneath them to be destroyed. Some Jerkweeds exchange places with thorny, damaging vines, while others move along a path, allowing different areas of Metal Blocks to be destroyed. Jerkweeds can also conceal [[Medal]]s, or enemies like [[Snoozroot]].

Jerkweed is a common device found in Kirby Mass Attack that resembles a green curly vine. Jerkweed is often found hanging from ceilings or attached to other objects. The player can toss Kirbys onto these to pull them down. When pulled, Jerkweeds often release fruit, and the Kirbys that pull it can destroy any metal blocks below as they fall. Some Jerkweeds swap places with harmful thorny vines while others move along a path, making it possible to destroy metal blocks in different locations. Jerkweeds can also conceal Medals or enemies such as Snoozroot.
