The '''Rainbow Sword''' is a weapon in ''[[Kirby's | The '''Rainbow Sword''' is a weapon in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]''. It is required to defeat the evil [[Dark Matter]], the main villain of the game.<ref>{{cite manual|quote=In order to defeat Dark Matter, you need the Rainbow Sword.|game=''Kirby's Dream Land 2''|page=25}}</ref> Kirby obtains it automatically after defeating [[King Dedede]] if all the [[Rainbow Drop]]s hidden throughout the game have been recovered, which combine into the sword in a short cutscene. | ||
The Rainbow Sword can only be used in the two-phase battle against Dark Matter, the final boss of the game, and is the only weapon that Kirby can use during the fight; likewise, Kirby cannot enter the battle without possessing the sword, instead being taken to a false ending if he defeats King Dedede and is unable to obtain it. Unlike many other weapons used in final battles throughout the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby'' series]], it does not shoot projectiles, but can instead be swung at the boss to cause a small amount of damage. The sword can also be used to reflect projectiles fired at Kirby if he uses it at the right moment, causing a significantly larger amount of damage to Dark Matter if he is hit by these projectiles than slashing at him would. | The Rainbow Sword can only be used in the two-phase battle against Dark Matter, the final boss of the game, and is the only weapon that Kirby can use during the fight; likewise, Kirby cannot enter the battle without possessing the sword, instead being taken to a false ending if he defeats King Dedede and is unable to obtain it.
