— In-game quote

ESP Mode is one of the Robobot Armor modes. It transforms the hands on Kirby's mech, making them disembodied and much larger. They also become capable of flinging about many orbs of psychokinetic energy. These orbs can also conduct electricity. When charging an attack, the ESP Armor can hover along the ground, much like ESP Kirby.
