The '''Rainbow Sword''' is a weapon and [[Copy Ability|ability]] 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.

==Trivia==

*The Rainbow Sword is the only final weapon that does not have a ranged attack of its own. However, it can still be used to deflect Dark Matter's projectiles back at it.

*[[Dark Matter Clone]] from ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' wields a sword that occasionally emits a rainbow glow, resembling the Rainbow Sword.
