Parasol: Difference between revisions

'''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.

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]].

In ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', Parasol can be combined with the [[Robobot Armor]] to produce the armor's [[Parasol Mode]]. This mode allows the suit to fly great distances using parasol-shaped rotors and dispel clouds of poison gas.

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.
