Tornado is an ability debuting in Kirby's Adventure which allows Kirby to turn himself into a tornado by spinning rapidly in circles. It is usually acquired from Twister. In most games, the Tornado ability is accompanied by a hat similar to those of the Fire and Ice abilities. This hat, however, is topped with a small vortex, and a green crystal marking the centTemplate:Er of the hat. Kirby is invulnerable to enemy attacks, as well as stationary hazards, while spinning and will inflict damage upon anyone he makes contact with. The only disadvantage to this form is that it is somewhat difficult to control. Holding down the attack button while executing this move causes Kirby to gain altitude, allowing him to blow away airborne enemies as well.

Game appearances

Kirby's Adventure/Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

The Tornado ability debuted in this game, along with all of the other first Copy Abilities. It allows Kirby to travel quickly through the air in a whirlwind, being effectively invulnerable while the attack is executing. Controlling Kirby's trajectory while this move is being used can be tricky, however.

Kirby Air Ride

This ability intensifies your Quick Spin and can be used in mid-air! If you fully charge up, you will automatically do a Quick Spin offensive attack.
— Kirby Air Ride North American instruction booklet, page 39

Tornado appears in this spin-off racing title, provided by the obscure enemy Caller. When active, Kirby will perform a powerful spin attack after a boost or when performing a Quick Spin. Enemies caught in this attack will be sent flying and spinning. Like with other abilities in Kirby Air Ride, the ability only lasts for a short time.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror

Tornado returns in this game, and is provided by Twister as usual. It looks and functions identically to the way it did in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.

Kirby: Canvas Curse

Kirby: Squeak Squad

After a fairly long absence, Tornado returns in [[Kirby: Squeak Squad|Template:KSS KMA]], Kirby can cause his vortex to take on an elemental attribute such as fire, ice, or lightning by touching the appropriate element. However, this can only be done once the Ability Scroll for Tornado is found. Also, when the elemental attribute is gained, the vortex nearly doubles in size. Aesthetically, Kirby changes with the addition of a crown and a small whirlwind on the top of crown appears.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land

The Tornado ability appears again in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, obtained by swallowing a Twister. In addition, it has also gained new attacks.

Kirby Battle Royale

Try the Tornado ability if you want to play cool tricks on your rivals. All that wind will feel mighty nice to you, but not your opponents.
— Knuckle Joe's comment in Kirby Battle Royale

Tornado is one of the abilities on offer in this action-multiplayer title. Tornado allows for long-lasting attacks, but leaves Kirby vulnerable at the end of it. When using the Big Tornado, Kirby can draw items such as Apples closer to him and hit nearby opponents, even when they are airborne.
