Yo-Yo (also called 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 ultiliTemplate:Ze 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.
Kirby can also obtain the Yo-Yo ability through Copy Essences Deluxe. With the yo-yo equipped, Kirby can create Gim as a Helper. In Super Star, Kirby is outfitted with a backwards ball cap when he acquires this ability. In Star Allies, this outfit also comes with a band-aid on Kirby's right cheek.

Trivia
- Kirby's backwards cap is more than likely a reference to Earthbound (known as Mother 2 in Japanese). 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.
- Kirby's Yo-yo hat in Super Star is a recolTemplate:Our of the Wheel and Paint ability hats.
- Oddly enough, this ability could be obtained by inhaling one of 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. Kirby does not use the yo-yo for this move, however.
