'''Throw''' is one of the rarer [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It is one of the few to utilize Kirby's core ability to [[Inhale]], which Kirby does to grab an [[enemy]], defeated [[Mid-Boss]] or a [[Star Block]]. After grabbing one of them, Kirby becomes invincible and is able to pack a powerful toss in one of the six directions specified by the directional pad. The thrown projectile will be able to decimate most common enemies and otherwise do large amounts of [[damage]], while also destroying any Star Blocks and [[Block|Metal Blocks]] in its path.

'''Throw''' is one of the rarer [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] in [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] and one of the few which feature [[Inhale]] in order to capture an [[enemy]], [[Star Block]] or defeated [[mid-boss]]. After capturing one of mentioned, [[Kirby]] is eligible to throw it in any of the 6 directions of Kirby's range and is invincible until he throws it (while dealing a large amount of damage to the enemy touching the captured object in Kirby's hand until thrown). Thrown object will fly over the screen without changing direction and explode if collides with a solid object. It will also go through and damage enemies, mid-bosses or [[boss]]es, and destroy [[block]]s including even the Metal Blocks in its path. While enemies rather do not, Star Blocks transform into [[Star Bullet|Star Bullets]] after inhaled. This attack can do a large amount of damage despite being only move of the ability.


The ability is essentially an enhancement to inhaling; in particular, it allows Kirby to inhale [[Scarfy]], which normally can't be inhaled. Its concept is similar to [[Backdrop]] while it looks extremely similar to [[Suplex]].
Throw is in concept similar to [[Backdrop]] while in looks extremely similar to [[Suplex]], where Throw ability gives Kirby a slightly lighter blue headband than the other.

[[File:Throw NinDL.png|thumb|left|200px|Artwork of Throw Kirby from ''Nightmare in Dream Land''.]]
Throw first appeared alongside the Copy Ability mechanic itself in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. In this game, the Throw ability is obtained from [[Rolling Turtle]], a [[Mid-Boss]] who attacks Kirby with various grappling techniques. In addition to throwing enemies and blocks, Throw Kirby is also able to capture inhalable thrown objects such as the [[Meta-Knights]]' weapons. Throw's ability to bust metal blocks with the objects he tosses makes it a useful tool, but its rarity means that there's almost always another ability that can be obtained quicker to do the same job.
In Throw's debut game ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', Throw Kirby doesn't have any outfit like many other abilities. In this game, Throw ability is obtained from [[Rolling Turtle]], a turtle [[Mid-Boss]] who attacks Kirby by grabbing Kirby to throw him, or throwing turtle minions which can be swallowed and spit back.


In the game's remake ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', Throw Kirby gets his blue headband for the first time. Rolling Turtle is replaced by [[Phan Phan]], another Mid-Boss who attacks Kirby in a similar fashion to Rolling Turtle.

In ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', Kirby still obtains the Throw ability from the Mid-Boss [[Phan Phan]] like in the previous title. While in this game Kirby's regular inhaling ability tires him after a few seconds, Throw Kirby's inhaling can be used indefinitely.

===''Kirby: Squeak Squad''===
In ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', Kirby can obtain the Throw ability from the common enemy [[Bun]]. If Throw Kirby tries to inhale a major member of [[Squeaks|the Squeaks]], it will stun them and make them drop any [[Treasure|Treasure Chest]]s they happen to be holding, as if attempted with a regular Inhale. After collecting Throw's [[Ability Scroll]], it can also take on fire, ice or electric elemental attributes of grabbed enemies.

Throw here gains a new idle animation: Kirby holds his arms in a fighting pose, while his headband blows in the wind, similar to the idle animation of [[Fighter]] Kirby.

'''Throw''' Kirby makes a single appearance in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' in the episode [[Cowardly Creature]]. Kirby gains this ability after [[inhale|inhaling]] one of the large spike balls tossed at him by [[Phan Phan]] while it is possessed by [[Whippy (monster)|Whippy]]. Using this ability, Kirby inhales to grab Whippy, and then proceeds to toss him around before finally launching him into outer space with a "tornado throw".

*In ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', Throw Kirby deals 12 damage per hit (both the holding process and the projectile), which can easily defeat [[Dark Meta Knight]] in [[Radish Ruins]] (60 HP, defeated by Throw in exactly 5 hits) and the [[Dimension Mirror]] (48 HP, defeated by Throw in exactly 4 hits).<ref>[http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2095&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=50 ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' discussion thread on TASVideo.org]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoeQAQs2S0A '''Kirby Amazing Mirror - Boss Endurance (TAS) in 3:53''' (Obsoleted) by MUGG (mugg1991)]</ref>
