This article is about the Transformation from Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. For the transformation from Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, see Kirby Rocket. For the similar-shaped Copy Ability, see Missile. For the rockets in Rocket Rumble, see Device.

The Rocket is a Metamortex transformation used by Kirby and Prince Fluff that appears in two vertical-scrolling levels in Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. This transformation allows the heroes to shoot star-shaped projectiles in three directions (if the 1 button is pressed repeatedly) or in a straight vertical direction from the tip of the rocket (if the 1 button is held). If Kirby and Fluff are both present, they will each turn into separate rockets. This transformation is very similar in character to the Star Shooter transformation, albeit primarily vertical rather than horizontal.
