== Overview ==

Tornado is one of Kirby's most powerful and potent Copy Abilities, giving him several seconds of sustained invulnerability while he moves rapidly, defeating or passing through nearly any enemy and obstacle along the way. In most of his appearances, however, Tornado Kirby is forced to move while using his attack, and he will rapidly bound off of surfaces, making controlling him tricky. Starting up and finishing the attack requires some time as well, making Tornado's attack tricky to use against [[boss]]es without getting hit during those periods of vulnerability. In most of Tornado's appearances, holding down the jump button will make Kirby rise slowly while using the attack, allowing him to take to the sky as needed.

|Can be unlocked by spending 500 Battle Coins, but needs to be unlocked separately in [[Dedede's Cake Royale]].<br>Has three unlockable alternate costumes.

In ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'', the Tornado ability can be acquired by colliding with Twister. Using this ability allows Kirby to move rapidly across the board and cover a lot of ground, though the tornado can be tricky to control. The distance this move can cover depends on the terrain, as trying to spin uphill will cause Kirby to slow down and stop spinning, while traveling downhill will speed him up. Deft movement on varied terrain can allow Tornado Kirby to cover a lot more ground than he otherwise would have been able to.

Since Twister only appears in two stages in the main Story Mode, Tornado is one of the rarest abilities in this game.

=== ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' ===

The Tornado ability appears again in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', obtained by swallowing a [[Twister]]. In addition to its usual powers, it has also gained new attacks, mainly in the form of projectiles that can be thrown upward or downward. Shaking the [[Wii]] Remote during a Tornado Attack allows Kirby to finish with an extra strong burst of wind.

Tornado is one of the abilities on offer in ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]''. To unlock it for general use, the player needs to purchase it with 500 in-game Battle Coins. In [[Dedede's Cake Royale]], Tornado is unlocked by obtaining 225 League Points in the Gold League. Tornado allows for long-lasting attacks, but leaves Kirby vulnerable at the end of them. When using the Big Tornado, Kirby can draw items such as [[Apple]]s closer to him and hit nearby opponents, even when they are airborne.

In addition, Tornado comes with three alternate [[costumes]] in this game. Those are the [[Twister]] Hat, the Pinwheel, and the [[Kracko]] Hat.

After a 10 year absence from mainline titles, Tornado Kirby returns in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. In this game, Kirby has more control over his vortex, traveling primarily on a horizontal plane and being able to start and stop much faster, as well as no longer being forced to move forward while spinning, though hitting an obstacle still imparts a lot of rebound. In addition, Tornado Kirby can catch enemies and objects in the spin and take them along, then throw them at other enemies and obstacles when the attack concludes, much like with [[Needle]]. Tornado Kirby's moveset has once again been simplified for this game, though one notable distinction is the addition of the Hyper Tornado finisher, which allows Kirby to end his spin early with a larger gust hitting all enemies around him. Tornado also gains the ability to cool down [[Block|Flame Block]]s, much like the [[Ice]] ability.

All attack names are conjectural.
