'''Spear''' is a [[Copy Ability]] available in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and [[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]] that can be obtained by swallowing spear-related enemies. By acquiring the ability, [[Kirby]] obtains a spear that he may use to cut objects such as ropes. Kirby may also throw his spears, usually dashing before executing his attack. Additionally, he is capable of spinning his spear in a helicopter-like fashion while possessing the Copy Ability in order to fly while attacking enemies above Kirby. Spear Kirby's moves are practically identical to the moves that [[Waddle Dee (character with bandanna)|Bandana Waddle Dee]] can execute in the game.
'''Spear''' is a [[Copy Ability]] which debuted in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' that grants Kirby a sturdy spear to jab his enemies with. Using the spear, Kirby can easily strike enemies and objects at a safe distance, as well as through walls.

Kirby can also toss his spear like a javelin, causing it to move forward, then down in an arc (and unlike the [[Hammer]] ability, Kirby will not lose the spear when doing so).
