It lets [[Kirby]] use his [[Air Bullet]] attack in the air without falling afterwards, essentially allowing him to rapid-fire his enemies.

Regardless, the regional difference has been solidified in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' onwards by making the item distinctly different in appearance between versions. | ||

In ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', it appears in the | In ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', it appears in the [[Dedede's Raw Deal]] episode in its original form as a baked sweet potato. However, its hiccuping powers come as a hindrance rather than a help to Kirby this time around. In the episode, Kirby eats it off of a sushi revolver. He is then attacked by an overgrown [[Squishy]], and his [[inhale|inhaling]] powers are prevented by the hiccups that result from eating the potato sushi. As such, he starts off on the losing side of the battle. However, [[Tiff]] scares his wits out by saying he'll starve if his hiccups don't cease, which makes Kirby (who is known for his gluttonous nature) jump in fear and release his hiccups. | ||

*The Mint Leaf is only referred to as a Sweet Potato in the Japanese version of the series (and looks the part in Kirby Fighters); even the Korean and Chinese localizations, which normally are literal translations from the original Japanese version in many ways, refer to it as a Mint Leaf and have the item look like such in Kirby Fighters. | |||
