Needle is a Copy Ability, making its debut in Kirby's Adventure. It can be obtained by inhaling a Needle Bukiset, a Togezo, or a Needlous. After its initial appearance, Needle has made several appearances throughout the series, but it has not been seen since Triple Deluxe.
Game Appearances
Kirby's Adventure/Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Needle makes it debut appearance in Kirby's Adventure. Kirby surrounds himself with needles, hurting any enemy that is too close to him. If Kirby is falling, the spikes hit enemies from below.
Needle reappears in the remake. There, Kirby is colored yellow, and he wears a pink-colTemplate:Oured cap filled with golden needles.
Kirby's Dream Course
Needle returns in Kirby's Dream Course, where it functions similar to the Stone ability. When used, Needle causes Kirby to stop moving if he is touching the ground, even when on a slope. The ability is obtained from Togezo.
Kirby's Dream Land 2
File:KDL2CooNeedle.pngFile:KDL2KineNeedle.pngFile:KDL2RickNeedle.png
Needle reappears in Kirby's Dream Land 2. Kirby acquires this ability from Captain Stitch and Spikey. By itself, this ability performs similar to the one in Kirby's Adventure.
When on an Animal Friend, however, Kirby can perform a variation of the ability. When Coo is carrying him, Kirby can extend the needles below him. If Kine holds him, he can have Kine extend spikes around his body. If Rick carries Kirby, Rick can have his back covered in spikes.
Kirby's Block Ball
“ | Press the B button just before the ball hits the paddle, then re-launch the ball. | ” | — Kirby's Block Ball North American instruction booklet |
Needle appears in this game, obtainable from Spikey or an Ability Swap item. When Kirby has this ability, he can flare up in spikes, temporarily halting his movement (though not altering his course) when doing so. This can be used to break certain blocks and deal increased damage to bosses, though its most unique use comes with its ability to re-attach Kirby to a paddle when he uses it near one. Once attached, Kirby can be served as if he was starting a new ball or entering the area, granting much more control over where Kirby goes.
Kirby's Dream Land 3
File:DreamLand3 Coo.pngFile:KDL3 NeedleKine.PNGFile:KDL3 NeedleRick.PNGFile:KDL3 NeedleNago.PNGFile:KDL3 NeedleChuchu.PNGFile:KDL3 NeedlePitch.PNG
Needle makes another appearance in the sequel Kirby's Dream Land 3. It functions similarly to its previous appearance. New Animal Friends, though, create more Needle-related abilities with Kirby or Gooey.
If Nago holds Kirby with the Needle ability, Kirby can shoot pink spikes that can harm the enemy. If Chuchu is riding on Kirby with the Needle ability, Chuchu can shoot needles from her back. If Pitch is being used, Pitch can fly in a straight line, defeating any enemy he pecks.
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
In Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, there are combos such as the following:
- Needle-Bomb: Transforms into a Gordo, then blows the Spikes out (similar to Captain Stitch from Kirby's Dream Land 2 and 3.).
- Needle-Stone: Makes a giant drill.
- Needle-Needle: Several larger spiked objects appear, giving Kirby a larger range for his attack. A few of these objects are a cactus, a pencil, a nail and a fork.
- Needle-Ice: Turns Kirby into a snowflake. Pressing down the attack button increases the size and range of the Snowflake.
Kirby Air Ride
Needle returns as an usable Copy Ability in Kirby Air Ride. Kirby can receive this ability if he swallows a Pichikuri or if he touches a Needle Copy Ability Panel. If Kirby charges with the Needle ability, Kirby's spikes extends, hurting any opponent or enemy that is nearby, similar to the Ice ability in that game.
Kirby: Canvas Curse
Needle is one of the few Copy Abilities that make an appearance in Kirby: Canvas Curse. If the player taps Kirby, Kirby turns yellow and spikes protrude from him. He can ride the drawn lines and stick to walls, defeating enemies that touch him. Kirby can receive this ability from Needlous and Tick.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land
Needle makes a prominent return in [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Template:KRDL KAW]]. Kirby can receive it by inhaling Needlous, Tick, and Togekuki, but in Togekuki's case, the head has to be the only part showing. Compared to its appearances in previous games, Kirby has more attacks at his disposal when using the Needle ability. Needle, however, still has less attacks than other abilities in the game.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe
Needle appears again in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. The ability has had a few changes: the Rolling Needle attack was removed (most likely due to its similarity to the Wheel ability), and a new move was added.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The Needle ability appears as one of the many trophies in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
Needle Kirby reappears as a collectible trophy.
In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
Needle is an occasional recurring copy ability in the anime series Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. When Kirby acquires this ability, he gains several powers, many of which are not present in the video games. Needle Kirby is able to roll up into a ball, fling his needles out as missiles, and then guide them through the air as they slice through his opponents. Unlike in the games, Needle Kirby is not readily able to replenish his needles once using them, and often loses this ability quickly.
Needle Kirby appears in the following episodes:
