{{quote|That whip is cool and all... but the hat is where it's really at. Whip your enemies into shape! Wrap 'em up while you're at it!|[[Knuckle Joe]]'s comment in ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]''}}
'''Whip''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', obtained by swallowing whip-related enemies. Whip Kirby wears a red leathery cowboy hat adorned with light-blue stars. The brim has a yellow flower-like design and a brown thread keeping it together. Kirby attacks by lashing out his whip in several ways. The ability can be used to obtain items across solid walls, as Kirby's whip can go through them. This allows him to reach otherwise unreachable [[switch]]es and [[Point Star|star]]s. Kirby can also use the whip to grab enemies and items from a distance, and then toss the former around to defeat them, including tossing them at other enemies to deal collateral damage. This aspect makes the Whip ability a particularly potent one in the ''[[Kirby Fighters (series)|Kirby Fighters]]'' games.

=== ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' ===
[[File:KRtDL Raisin Ruins Stage 1-1.jpg|thumb|250px|Kirby can use the Whip to grab items from behind barricades, as demonstrated in this side area in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.]]
The Whip ability debuted in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and also appears in the remake, ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', first appearing prominently in the [[Raisin Ruins]] stage. It allows Kirby to attack at a distance, and grab both items and enemies from a distance, even through walls and other obstacles. A [[Challenge Stage]] simply called the [[Whip Challenge (Kirby's Return to Dream Land)|Whip Challenge]] is devoted to the Whip ability, which can be accessed once 25 [[Energy Sphere]]s are collected.

==Trivia==
*The Whip ability appears to be a reference to the action-adventure film hero [[wikipedia:Indiana Jones (character)|Indiana Jones]], who wears a similar fedora to Whip Kirby and uses a bullwhip during many of his adventures. The Japanese description of the ability in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' seems to further imply this, as its last sentence reads '''おたからもとめて たびに出て、ぼうけんかつげき まくあけだ!''' (''Embark on a journey in search of treasure, the action-adventure film begins!'')
