Latest revision as of 01:13, 4 April 2024
Kabu is a reoccurring enemy in the Kirby series, having appeared in many games since its debut in Kirby's Dream Land. It resembles a sculpted stone head, similar to the faces of the moai, with a flat bottom and a rounded top (though sometimes being depicted as cubical), typically beige or brown in color. Its face consists of two holes in place of eyes, a sculpted wedge-like nose, and a perpetually open mouth.
Depending on the game, Kabu may attack in a large amount of ways, including jumping, sliding, flying, and even teleporting. Big Kabu, a larger counterpart of Kabu, can also spit out smaller Kabu. Kirby can inhale and swallow Kabu, but in turn, does not receive a Copy Ability.

Kirby's Dream Land[edit]
Kabu debuted along with Kirby in Kirby's Dream Land. Here, it can be found in the Float Islands stage, in the caves. It can be found patrolling the walkways as well as nestled inside holes in the walls. It attacks by sliding into Kirby, and dropping down on him from above. It can also fade away, and reappear in different areas. In the Extra Game, it is replaced by Grumples.
Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[edit]
In Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Kabu appears as an enemy again, with a similar attack pattern. It still has the ability to phase in and out of sight, though it does this less often than in its previous appearance.
In Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Kabu can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby's Pinball Land[edit]
In Kirby's Pinball Land, Kabu (known here as Kaboo[1]) appears in the lowermost board of Wispy-Woods Land. Six of them are arranged around the board, with a Big Kaboo in the middle. The side Kaboo are worth 360 points each time they are bumped. When the side Kaboo are bumped, they retreat into the walls of the board, leaving a small nub that is worth 180 points when bumped. Once all six Kaboo have been bumped, the Big Kaboo disappears, leaving a Warp Star behind.
Kirby's Dream Course[edit]
Kabu appears as one of the four basic grounded enemy types in Kirby's Dream Course, with the others being Broomhatter, Waddle Dee and Squishy. Kabu continuously spins, but do not move at all. When hit, it does not grant any special abilities.
In Kirby's Dream Course, Kabu can be found in the following courses:

Kirby's Avalanche[edit]
“ | Kabu, the immovable object, will attempt to block Kirby, the irresistible force. | ” | — Kirby's Avalanche Instruction Booklet (North American print), page 22 |
In Kirby's Avalanche, Kabu is the sixth challenger Kirby must face. Despite its disadvantages, it acts cocky before the match begins.[2] This game marks the only time that Kabu has ever had dialogue, outside of its appearance in the anime series. His Puyo Puyo equivalent is Sukiya Podes.
Kirby's Dream Land 2[edit]
Kabu makes an appearance in Kirby's Dream Land 2, behaving in much the same way as it did in Kirby's Dream Land.
Kabu can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby's Block Ball[edit]
In Kirby's Block Ball, Kabu appears as a pre-boss enemy in Stage 3 and is worth 5000 points when defeated. It then appears alongside a Big Kabu in the boss room of the same stage with a slightly different appearance.
Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]
Kabu makes an appearance in Kirby Super Star and its remake; Kirby Super Star Ultra. In this game, Kabu may be seen warping in and out of visibility, and they may also occasionally launch like a rocket, leaving the area. Despite this odd behavior, they are as easy to defeat as any other common enemy, and do not have a lot of health. In Revenge of the King, Kabu is once again replaced by Grumples.
In Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kabu also appears on a card in Kirby Card Swipe.
Kabu can be found in the following places in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra:

Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble[edit]
Kabu makes an appearance in Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble. Unlike some of its other appearances, Kabu is relatively tame here, opting to only sit in place and act as a roadblock which harms Kirby on impact. Kabu can be defeated by popping up the Game Boy Color to flip the Kabu and turn it into a Star Piece.
In Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Kabu can be found only in Lvl 2-2, ironically appearing less often than its bigger counterpart.

Kirby's Dream Buffet[edit]
Kabu returns as an enemy in Kirby's Dream Buffet, here styled to resemble a chocolate-covered pastry with sprinkles on top. It appears as an obstacle on race courses, and can also be seen carrying strawberries in the Minigame mode.
In Kirby: Right Back at Ya![edit]
- Main article: Kabu (anime character)
In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, Kabu is a giant immobile stone statue located within a canyon named after him and is a deity to the public. The citizens of Cappy Town often ask him for guidance during times of peril, and see him as a more legitimate protector than their king. Kabu shelters the Warp Star, and the Star Warriors, as that was his original purpose.
