'''Kabu''' is a reoccurring [[enemy]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''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 [[wikipedia:Moai|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.


'''Kabu''' is a recurring enemy in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It has appeared in many games, beginning with ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. It appears to be a head-like being, made mostly of stone; usually crimson or silver in {{colour}}. Its face consists of two holes in place of eyes, a sculpted nose, and a perpetually open mouth. In some games, however, Kabu is cubical.
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'' ===
=== ''Kirby's Dream Land'' ===
Kabu debuted along with Kirby in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. Here, it can be found in the [[Float Islands]] level, 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]].

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.

=== ''Kirby's Pinball Land'' ===
===''Kirby's Pinball Land''===
In ''[[Kirby's Pinball Land]]'', Kabu appears in the lowermost board of [[Wispy-Woods Land]]. Six of them are arranged around the board, with a seventh in the middle (referred to as 'Big Kabu' despite not actually being larger in size). The Big Kabu is worth 480 points each time it is bumped into, and the others are worth 360 points. When the side Kabus are bumped, they retreat into the walls of the board, leaving a small nub that is worth 180 points when bumped into. Once all six side Kabus have retreated, the Big Kabu in the middle disappears, leaving a star-shaped launcher behind.
[[File:KDL Kabu sprite.png]] In ''[[Kirby's Pinball Land]]'', Kabu (known here as '''Kaboo'''<ref>Name taken from ''Kirby's Pinball Land'' Instruction Booklet (American release), Page 9</ref>) appears in the lowermost board of [[Wispy-Woods Land]]. Six of them are arranged around the board, with a [[Big Kabu|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.

[[File:KDC Course 1 Hole 1 screenshot 01.png|thumb|200px|Kirby aiming at some Kabu in ''Kirby's Dream Course''.]]
[[File:KDCKabu.png]] Kabu appears as one of the four basic grounded enemy types in ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'', with the others being [[Broom Hatter|Broomhatter]], [[Waddle Dee]] and [[Squishy]]. Kabu continuously spins, but do not move at all. When hit, it does not grant any special abilities.

{{Quote|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.<ref>"Your road to glory ends here." - Kabu</ref> This game marks the only time that Kabu has ever had dialogue, outside of [[Kabu (anime character)|its appearance in the anime series]]. His ''Puyo Puyo'' equivalent is Sukiya Podes.
 
===''Kirby's Dream Land 2''===
[[File:KDL2 Kabu sprite.png]] 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 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]].

While Kabu does not appear in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', the entrance to the ruins in [[Rock Star - Stage 1]] is shaped like Kabu's face. Inside the ruins, the chamber with rising sand has faces on the walls that resemble Kabu, which pour sand out of their mouths.

[[File:KTnT Level 2-2 Warp Star.png|thumb|Kirby coming across two Kabu in ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble''.]]
[[File:KTnT Kabu.png]] 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 [[Point Star|Star Piece]].


In ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble'', Kabu can be found only in [[Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble - Lvl 2-2|Lvl 2-2]], ironically appearing less often than [[Big Kabu|its bigger counterpart]].

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.

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.

“ 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.

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.

Kirby's Dream Land 3[edit]

KDL3 Kabu Sprite.png Kabu returns as a standard enemy in Kirby's Dream Land 3. Its abilities have been greatly toned down for this appearance, save for its tendency to spin around. Kabu is often seen being spat out by Dekabu.

In Kirby's Dream Land 3, Kabu can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards[edit]

While Kabu does not appear in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, the entrance to the ruins in Rock Star - Stage 1 is shaped like Kabu's face. Inside the ruins, the chamber with rising sand has faces on the walls that resemble Kabu, which pour sand out of their mouths.

Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble[edit]

Kirby coming across two Kabu in Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble.

KTnT Kabu.png 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 Air Ride[edit]

In Kirby Air Ride, the Water course in Top Ride has a statue of Kabu based on his anime version.

When attacked, but not defeated, it will vanish and then reappear somewhere else, then pursue Kirby.

In Kirby: Right Back at Ya![edit]

Kabu's appearance in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!.
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.
