'''Missile''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that is obtainable primarily from the enemy [[Bang-Bang]] which allows [[Kirby]] to fire himself at enemies in the form of a rocket-propelled explosive. It debuted in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' and later made an appearance in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', where it is one of the four Copy Abilities to have [[Special Course|its own course]] in [[Rainbow Run]].
'''Missile''' is a [[Copy Ability]] introduced in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''.


==Overview==
When not transformed, Missile Kirby has a hat that resembles the business end of a missile, though pink and striped. When transformed, Missile Kirby flies in a straight direction, steerable either directly using the Control Pad in ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' or by using the Rainbow Line in ''Kirby: Canvas Curse''. Though the speed of the missile differs between games, deftly controlling it in either case is no mean feat, requiring similar finesse to the [[Wheel]] ability. When the missile strikes an enemy or object, or when canceling the flight manually, it explodes, causing any enemy caught in the blast radius to receive damage. After exploding, Kirby immediately reverts to normal and tumbles toward the ground.

The Missile ability can be obtained by swallowing (or, in ''Canvas Curse'', destroying) a [[Bang-Bang]] or by defeating and swallowing a particular [[Mid-Boss]], [[Bombar]]. The missile flies at very fast speeds and blows up whenever it touches an enemy or obstacle, causing any enemy caught in the blast radius to receive damage. the player can also choose to blow it up by pressing "B" when Kirby is in missile form.
