Parasol is one of Kirby's simpler and yet more versatile abilities. Its primary attribute is the ability for Kirby to shield himself from attacks from above (even when [[hover]]ing), and the ability to float gently downward in the air. Some games employ wind currents which can influence Kirby's trajectory when he is drifting on his Parasol, even carrying him upward in some cases. It is also one of the few abilities which can be used [[Water (environment)|underwater]], though its utility there is more limited. Starting in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', Parasol would gain more of its signature properties, including its special [[guard]], its drill attack, and its Circus Throw technique. | Parasol is one of Kirby's simpler and yet more versatile abilities.

Starting in ''[[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]]''. | 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.

Although Parasol is one of the most frequently-reoccurring abilities in the series, it does have a few noteworthy absences in the main series, those being ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' and ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. | Although Parasol is one of the most frequently-reoccurring abilities in the series, it does have a few noteworthy absences in the main series, those being ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' and ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. | ||
