Splash Rush
Splash Rush[Japanese title] is a reoccurring attack that is used by a handful of final bosses in the Kirby series, starting with Drawcia Soul in Kirby: Canvas Curse. While not as frequently occurring as other attacks such as Shooter Cutter or Black Hole, it is nonetheless one that is distinct and shared between multiple Soul-form bosses. When used, the boss shatters into pieces and then flies upward. From there, the pieces fall toward Kirby like a firestorm and splat onto the ground before recoalescing into the boss.

| Splash Rush Appearances | ||
|---|---|---|
| Game | User | Notes |
| Kirby: Canvas Curse | Drawcia Soul | This is the first appearance of the move, setting the standard for how it operates. In this incarnation, the pieces can be blocked using a Rainbow Line, but the line is shattered in the process, meaning multiple lines may be needed. |
| Kirby Super Star Ultra | Marx Soul | Here, the attack is referred to as Splash Marx. The projectiles that come out can be swallowed for the Paint ability. |
| Kirby: Triple Deluxe | Soul of Sectonia | Similar to Drawcia Soul's version, though the falling projectiles can be inhaled. |
| Kirby and the Forgotten Land | Chaos Elfilis | Called Splash Roche, a pun on the Roche limit. Used in the final phase. Here, the pieces aim more sharply toward Kirby, forcing him to keep ahead to avoid getting hit. |
