The Submarine transformation as it appears in Kirby's Epic Yarn
This article is about the Transformation from Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. For the transformation in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, see Kirby Submarine.

The Submarine is a transformation that both Kirby and Prince Fluff automatically undergo when submerged in water in Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. Shallow water, however, such as that of Rainbow Falls, will not trigger the Submarine transformation. Using this transformation, Kirby and Prince Fluff's feet turn into a coning tower and propeller. Unlike Kirby's usual underwater excursions, he does not wear goggles.

In the Water Land map, Kirby and Prince Fluff are even able to transform into submarines to access areas. The Capamari battle is fought in this form.

Underwater actions[edit]

Underwater movements are generally less restrictive since jumping is no longer needed to travel upwards. The whip, rolling-up, and toss powers remain intact.[1] The Yarn Whip actually has more potential underwater, as downward throws are possible.[2] In place of a jump or dash action, the 2 button allows for either action, while near a surface up and 2 will perform a jump, otherwise 2 will rotate the propeller faster and generate faster movement.[3] Underwater travel also is affected by jets of more powerful flow. While on the surface in Submarine form, waves can affect the submarine's travel.
