'''Yo-Yo''' (also called '''Yo-yo''' and '''Yoyo''' in ''Kirby Super Star'') is a [[Copy Ability]] that can be obtained by inhaling [[Gim]]. It debuted in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and likewise, it was also a part of its remake ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. The ability allows Kirby to utilize a bright red yo-yo to smack around enemies from a safe distance, comparable to the [[Beam]] or [[Whip]] ability. The yo-yo can also pass through walls and floors, making it useful for activating switches or solving puzzles.

'''Yo-yo''' is an ability that can be obtained by inhaling [[Gim]]. It debuted in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and likewise, it was also a part of its remake ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. The ability allows Kirby to ultili{{z}}e a bright red yo-yo to smack around enemies from a safe distance, comparable to the [[Beam]] or [[Whip]] ability. The yo-yo could also pass through walls and floors, therefore it is sometimes used to activate switches to solve puzzles.


Kirby can also obtain the Yo-Yo ability through [[Copy Essence Deluxe|Copy Essences Deluxe]]. With the yo-yo equipped, Kirby can create [[Gim]] as a [[Helper]]. In ''Kirby Super Star'', Kirby is outfitted with a backwards ball cap when he acquires this ability. In ''Kirby Star Allies'', this outfit also comes with a bandage on Kirby's right cheek.
Kirby can also obtain the Yo-yo ability through [[Copy Essence Deluxe]]s. With the yo-yo equipped, Kirby can create [[Gim]] as a [[helper]]. Kirby's visual appearance only changes by the addition of a backwards ballcap.

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
In ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', Yo-Yo Kirby appears as a [[keychain]], depicting his sprite from ''Kirby Super Star''. Yo-Yo is not an ability in the game itself.
===''Kirby Star Allies''===
[[File:KSA Yo-Yo Kirby screenshot.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Kirby with the Yo-Yo ability in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.]]
Yo-Yo returns as an ability and makes its first 3D appearance in this title. Once again it is provided by [[Gim]], who acts as its representative [[Helper|Friend]]. Yo-Yo also gains some new moves and can be infused with [[Power Effect]]s such as "Bluster", "Sizzle" or "Splash".

===''Kirby Fighters 2''===
==''Kirby: Star Allies''==
Yo-Yo returns in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'' as a selectable ability for Kirby. It is unlocked upon attaining [[Fighters Rank]] 6. Its moveset is largely the same as it is in ''Kirby Star Allies''.
[[File:Yo-yo Allies.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Kirby with the Yo-yo ability in ''[[Kirby: Star Allies]]''.]]
Yo-yo is set to return as a Copy Ability in this title, appearing in 3-D for the first time. The hat has been updated somewhat, becoming a more saturated purple in the back. Additionally, Kirby now sports a band-aid on his right cheek as part of the costume, likely as a small touch of child-like charm.


For more precise competitive-oriented information on the Yo-Yo ability in ''Kirby Fighters 2'', see [https://wiki.gbl.gg/w/Kirby_Fighters_2/Yo-Yo Mizuumi Wiki's page].
It is unknown as to how much the ability has changed since its ''Super Star'' incarnation, but it seems to keep the basic move-set intact.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Kirby's backwards cap is more than likely a reference to [[wikibound:Earthbound|''EarthBound'']]. In the game, various characters can equip yo-yos as weapons, and the main character, Ness, wears a similar cap. HAL had also done some work on ''EarthBound'' as well. This reference would carry forward in proper fashion with the [[ESP]] ability.
*Kirby's backwards cap is more than likely a reference to the [[wikibound:Earthbound|Earthbound]] RPG (known as Mother 2 in Japan). In the game, the yo-yo is a weapon several characters can equip, and the main character, Ness, wears a similar backwards cap. HAL had also done some work on Earthbound as well. This reference would carry forward in proper fashion with the [[ESP]] ability.
**Additionally, the checkered background of the ability icon resembles ''EarthBound''{{'}}s file select screen and character HP/PP boxes.
*Kirby's Yo-yo hat in ''Super Star'' is a recol{{ou}}r of the [[Wheel]] and [[Paint]] ability hats.
*Oddly enough, in the original ''Kirby Super Star'', this ability could be obtained by inhaling one of the [[Combo Cannon]]'s cannonballs. This was changed in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', where Kirby receives the [[Bomb]] ability from them instead.
*Oddly enough, this ability could be obtained by inhaling one of [[Main Cannon #2|Combo Cannon]]'s cannonballs. This was changed in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', where instead Kirby received [[Bomb]] ability from them.
*Break Spin is Kirby's dash attack in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. It also appears as Kirby's floor attack upon being tripped in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Kirby does not use the yo-yo for this move in both instances, however.
*Break Spin is one of the attacks Kirby can use in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It replaces the [[Burning]] ability, which was used in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as Kirby's dash attack.
