Twister is a type of enemy appearing throughout the Kirby series. It resembles an orange, top-like creature. Its bottom part is pointed and darker than the rest of its body, while the top part is a lighter shade of orange and has spherical extensions attached to it.

In all its appearances, Twister yields the Tornado Copy Ability.

Game appearances

Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

Twister debuts in Kirby's Adventure, although its design is different from its final one; its lower half is black and appears rounded instead of pointed. The game's remake, Nightmare in Dream Land, however, portrays Twisters in the same way as later games of the series.

Twisters are initially stationary, slowly rotating in place, but as soon as Kirby gets near, they quickly increase their spinning speed greatly, lifting off into the air and transforming themselves into a living tornado that flies through walls and can only be harmed by a few Copy Abilities. After a while, provided that it is not currently inside a wall, the Twister slows down, eventually becoming stationary and vulnerable to any attack once more.

A singular, immobile Twister appears in the Museum of Yogurt Yard, providing Kirby with the Tornado ability.

Twister is a fairly uncommon enemy, appearing in only a small handful of stages. Twister can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby's Pinball Land
