| “ | The most experienced of marksmen requires the fanciest of hats. Fire a barrage of shots with dual-wielded pop guns. You can release a flurry of charged shots too! P-pew, p-pew! | ” | — Figure description from Kirby and the Forgotten Land |
Noble Ranger is an Evolved Copy Ability based on Ranger that appears in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. With it, Kirby now wields a pair of blunderbuss-like guns, allowing him to fire much more rapidly at his foes. His hat also becomes noticeably fancier, resembling that of a colonial-era ship captain with a gold-plated star on the crest and two voluminous yellow feather plumes coming out the top.
The blueprint for Noble Ranger can be found in the stage The Tropical Terror, appearing after Tropic Woods is defeated. This ability is required to play the Treasure Road stage Long Shots! Noble Ranger Trial.
