The Pendulum transformation as it appears in Kirby's Epic Yarn

Pendulum is a transformation that Kirby and Prince Fluff normally use in Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. To achieve pendulum form, Kirby and Prince Fluff must use their Yarn Whips to latch onto a certain button. When latched, Kirby or Prince Fluff will transform and begin swinging to and fro on the button. Swinging enables them to leap higher than normal. This is done by swinging to one side, releasing the Yarn Whip when the pendulum is at its maximum height, and jumping afterwards.

The Pendulum transformation is also useful in accessing areas of the course that are otherwise unreachable by jumping. Not all buttons are stationary, although certain flowers in Flower Fields will lift the dangling heroes, and some trees can be latched and shaken to drop beads.
