This attack can be used regardless of what [[Copy Ability]] Kirby may or may not have (with a few exceptions), and involves him sliding forward along the ground with a low profile and his feet out in front. Any regular enemy or block can be attacked using a slide, though it is ineffective against [[Boss]]es and [[Mid-Boss]]es (with a few exceptions). | ||

To perform the attack, the player must press the jump button while Kirby is [[crouch]]ing. This causes Kirby to slide a considerable distance forward (depending on the terrain) with his feet out front. If he hits an enemy that is not invulnerable to it, he will deal damage to that enemy and bounce off. This can be done anywhere out of the water, and requires no [[Copy Ability]] to use. In addition to its offensive capability, Kirby can use a Slide to dodge an attack, or just move quickly forward. | To perform the attack, the player must press the jump button while Kirby is [[crouch]]ing.

In ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad|{{KSqS KMoA}}]]'', some Copy Abilities affect how Kirby slides, with [[Sword]] having Kirby lunge forwards with his sword, [[Bomb]] having Kirby hold a bomb in front of him if he is holding one before sliding, and [[Fighter]] allowing Kirby to damage Mid-Bosses in the former game. | ||
