'''Parasol''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that equips [[Kirby]] with a parasol (umbrella) to use as a weapon. Contrary to what might be expected, the Parasol is a formidable tool when in Kirby's hands. He can swing it to strike enemies with the same force as a [[Sword]], and use it to shield himself from incoming projectiles ahead or above him. Additional techniques include the very fast and dangerous Parasol Drill and Dive, and the famous Circus Throw technique, where he picks an enemy up and spins it on his parasol before tossing it away. Kirby can also use his Parasol to splash water on fiery blocks and foes to douse them. When not attacking with it, Kirby can use the parasol to glide through the air, drifting slowly downward while gaining increased horizontal velocity. Lastly, Parasol is one of the abilities that can usually be used underwater.

== Overview ==

Starting in ''Kirby Super Star'', but not becoming prominent until ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', Parasol would gain a distinct watery property, as Kirby will now throw water drops off the Parasol when he swings it which can douse flames and cool lava blocks. This increased reach also makes it possible for Parasol Kirby to consistently hit enemies and objects through walls, though not with as much reach as other abilities like [[Yo-Yo]] or [[Whip]]. The watery properties of Parasol also allow Kirby to grant the Splash [[Power Effect]] to his allies in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

Parasol makes its first appearance as a Copy Ability in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', and also appears in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. Here, its essential properties of being used as a bludgeon, shielding Kirby from hazards above him, and being used to float slowly downward were established. This makes it one of the more versatile abilities in the game. It is only provided by [[Parasol Waddle Dee]] and [[Parasol Waddle Doo]].

! Skill

Parasol is one of the selectable abilities in ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]''. Its moveset has been altered to account for the top-down perspective of many of the game modes. In [[Dedede's Cake Royale]], Kirby must first acquire 150 League Points before he can use the ability.

|power=Floating, using a parasol as a weapon

}}

In ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', Parasol Kirby makes an appearance on three different occasions. In [[Cappy New Year]], Kirby obtains this ability by inhaling [[Sasuke]] in order to safely make it back down to the ground after being launched by a firework rocket high into the sky. In [[Escargoon Rules]], Kirby swallows several [[Floaty the Drifter|Drifters]] to gain the ability, then uses the parasol to beat back the remaining Drifters and punish [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]] for initiating the battle. In [[D'Preciation Day]], Kirby gains this ability by inhaling [[Buttercup]]'s umbrella, then uses the parasol to defeat [[Chuckie]]. Parasol Kirby has all of the same skills he has in the games, though the watery aspects of the ability have been removed.
