Ropes first appeared in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', where they are used mainly to block certain passages unless Kirby has the appropriate ability. The platform to which the rope is attached tends to be a [[thin floor]], though it cannot be passed through from above.


String platforms first appeared in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', and are used mainly to block certain passages to Kirby unless he has the appropriate ability. The platform itself tends to be a [[Fall-through Platform]], though it cannot be passed through from above. Starting with ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', more applications were applied to these objects, including placing enemies and items on the platforms hanging over [[Void]]s, making it either a good or bad idea to cut these strings. In addition, string platforms could also be be found in larger and heavier varieties, making them a [[Crusher|crushing]] hazard if Kirby is standing underneath them.

In ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', a heavier version of this object exists, known as a '''Chain Platform'''. These can only be cut using the various cutting attacks of the [[Robobot Armor]], and are directly analogous to the smaller string varieties that Kirby himself can cut.

In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', there is a special variety of chain that can hold up platforms of all types.

In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', there are multiple variety of ropes. They are as follows:
*'''Big Bomb''' appears in multiple levels, notable for being attached to a hanging rope. Cutting the rope with a normal slicing attack drops the bomb, but does not detonate it, causing it to roll away and respawn. Cutting the rope with a [[Sizzle]]-based slicing weapon, however, lights the fuse and detonates the bomb.
**A variant of the Big Bomb, '''Mega-Big Bomb''' is found exclusively on [[Grott Moon]] and wielded by [[Grand Mam]]. The rope for Mega-Big Bombs can only be cut by slicing shots from the [[Friend Star]], and then detonated with a fire shot afterwards.
*'''Flame Chain''' is a special variety of chain that can hold up platforms of all types. This continuously burning chain can be cut by any move that can cut ropes regularly, but only if those moves are infused with the [[Bluster]], [[Blizzard]], or [[Splash]] [[Power Effect]]s.
**Regular chains are also in this game, but are much thicker and require slicing shots from the Friend Star in order to be cut.
*'''Trees & Nuts''' appear in mainly the earlier levels, consisting of a simple nut hanging from a vine. Cutting it down with a slashing weapon causes the nut to open, revealing various items such as [[food]] or [[Point Star]]s.

A Rope (sometimes called String or a Rope Platform) is a device in the Kirby series. It consists of a platform hanging from a string or rope, which can be cut loose using an appropriate attack, such as those from the Sword or Cutter Copy Abilities. Doing so will cause the platform to fall, which will have various consequences depending on what type of platform the rope was holding, and what may have been laying on top of the platform at the time.

Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra

Ropes first appeared in Kirby Super Star, where they are used mainly to block certain passages unless Kirby has the appropriate ability. The platform to which the rope is attached tends to be a thin floor, though it cannot be passed through from above.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe

More applications were applied to ropes in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. In this title, enemies and items were placed on the platforms that the ropes suspended over bottomless pits; this made it either a good or bad idea to cut the ropes and send the platform falling into the pit. In addition, string platforms could also be be found in larger and heavier varieties, making them a crushing hazard if Kirby is standing underneath them.

Kirby: Planet Robobot

In Kirby: Planet Robobot, a heavier version of rope exists, known as a chain. These can only be cut using the various cutting attacks of the Robobot Armor, and are directly analogous to the smaller string varieties that Kirby himself can cut.

Kirby Star Allies

In Kirby Star Allies, there are multiple variety of ropes. They are as follows:

  • Big Bomb appears in multiple levels, notable for being attached to a hanging rope. Cutting the rope with a normal slicing attack drops the bomb, but does not detonate it, causing it to roll away and respawn. Cutting the rope with a Sizzle-based slicing weapon, however, lights the fuse and detonates the bomb.
    • A variant of the Big Bomb, Mega-Big Bomb is found exclusively on Grott Moon and wielded by Grand Mam. The rope for Mega-Big Bombs can only be cut by slicing shots from the Friend Star, and then detonated with a fire shot afterwards.
  • Flame Chain is a special variety of chain that can hold up platforms of all types. This continuously burning chain can be cut by any move that can cut ropes regularly, but only if those moves are infused with the Bluster, Blizzard, or Splash Power Effects.
    • Regular chains are also in this game, but are much thicker and require slicing shots from the Friend Star in order to be cut.
  • Trees & Nuts appear in mainly the earlier levels, consisting of a simple nut hanging from a vine. Cutting it down with a slashing weapon causes the nut to open, revealing various items such as food or Point Stars.
