Needle is a Copy Ability that allows Kirby to protrude sharp spikes from himself, making its debut in Kirby's Adventure. It can typically be obtained by inhaling a Spiny, a Tick, a Togezo, or a Needlous, though there are other enemies that also provide it. Depending on the game, when Kirby uses this ability, he either generates the needles from his skin or from the hat he obtains, with the latter case also often allowing him to shoot the needles at opponents along with other prickly attacks. Despite being one of the original Copy Abilities and recurring regularly earlier on in the series, its appearances in later games are rather inconsistent.

Characteristics

Artwork of Needle Kirby from Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

Depending on which game the ability appears in, Needle can have many different functions and utilities, with some games focusing more on its defensive aspects while others focus more on its mobility. Regardless of the particulars, Needle Kirby always has at least one basic move, which is to sit in place and protrude needles outward in all directions, damaging any enemies that touch them.

Up until Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Needle was always defined solely by that one move, though Kirby: Canvas Curse put a spin on it by allowing Kirby to do a rolling dash with it. In some games - most notably Kirby's Dream Course, Kirby's Block Ball, and the aforementioned Kirby: Canvas Curse - Needle Kirby can stick to surfaces in order to better control his movement. When Kirby's Return to Dream Land released, Needle Kirby finally gained an expanded Kirby Super Star-style moveset. Among these new moves were the ability to shoot larger needles upward or downward to attack more distant foes, roll up into a needle ball for a quick dash, or even shoot needles outward like projectiles, similar to some of the Animal Friend combinations in Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Kirby's Dream Land 3. In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Needle was overhauled once again, this time placing a lot more emphasis on movement. In this game, Needle Kirby rolls toward enemies with his needles out and catches them, carrying them with him. He can then throw them at other enemies or obstacles when he retracts his needles.

Appearance

Needle first obtained a hat in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, namely a pink helmet with a red visor and a white strap, filled with many golden needles. In Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, the hat would be redesigned to resemble a cap more than a helmet, removing the strap, and this overall design would become the standard moving forward. The design was further changed in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, albeit simply changing the color of the visor to golden like the needles.

In Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Kirby becomes yellow when with the Needle ability. This is also the case in Kirby: Right Back at Ya! and Needle's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby becomes yellow when attacking with the Needle ability.

Kirby's Adventure

Kirby using the Needle ability to attack an enemy in Kirby's Adventure.

Needle makes its debut appearance in Kirby's Adventure. Kirby surrounds himself with needles, hurting any enemy that is too close to him. In this game, Kirby can only hold his needles out for a limited amount of time. If Kirby is falling, the spikes hit enemies from below; however, he is not protected from below on the ground. Needle is provided in this game by the enemy Spiny. Needle deals 8 damage in this title.

Kirby's Dream Course

Needle is one of the abilities in Kirby's Dream Course, provided by Spiny, where it has a primarily movement-oriented function rather than an offensive one. When Kirby activates the Needle ability, he can pin himself to any surface, preventing him from moving, bouncing, or sliding. This is handy to prevent Kirby from rolling too far or bouncing off a ledge. In the 2P Game, the Needle ability can be held through the other player's turn, and the other player will take 4 tomatoes of damage if he runs into the needles.

Kirby's Dream Land 2

Kirby using Needle in conjunction with Coo to attack an enemy under some Star Blocks in Kirby's Dream Land 2

Needle reappears in Kirby's Dream Land 2, where it can be acquired from Captain Stitch and Spikey. By itself, this ability is similar to how it works in Kirby's Adventure, though Kirby has a more even spread of spikes that jut from his body and his limbs disappear while they are out. Due to this, Kirby is now protected from below when on the ground. When paired with an Animal Friend, Kirby can perform variations of the ability, as detailed in the following table:

Animal Friend	Appearance	Description
Coo		Kirby shoots out a large spike from his body which can harm foes below.
Kine		Using this power causes Kirby and Kine to grow spikes all around them like a pufferfish.
Rick		Rick extends quills from his back like a porcupine, but leaves his front vulnerable.

Throughout Kirby's Dream Land 2, there are specific blocks which can be broken only with the Needle ability. They are marked with a series of dots on them.

Kirby's Block Ball

“Press the B button just before the ball hits the paddle, then re-launch the ball.”

— Kirby's Block Ball North American instruction booklet

Needle appears in Kirby's Block Ball, obtainable from Spikey or an Ability Swap item. When Kirby has this ability, he can flare up in spikes, temporarily halting his movement (though not altering his course) when doing so. This can be used to break certain blocks and deal increased damage to bosses, though its most unique use comes with its ability to re-attach Kirby to a paddle when he uses it near one. Once attached, Kirby can be served as if he was starting a new ball or entering the area, granting much more control over where Kirby goes.

Kirby's Dream Land 3

In Kirby's Dream Land 3, using Needle in conjunction with ChuChu causes the octopus to shoot pink spike projectiles in many directions.

Needle makes another appearance in Kirby's Dream Land 3, here provided by Togezo, Tick, Boten, Bukiset with the needle lance, and Captain Stitch. It functions similarly to its previous appearance in Kirby's Dream Land 2; however, the needles now can be held out indefinitely, for as long as the button is held. New Animal Friends, though, create more Needle-related abilities with Kirby or Gooey, as follows:

Animal Friend	Appearance	Description
ChuChu		ChuChu shoots out five needles around herself which travel a short distance and hurt enemies on contact.
Coo		Kirby shoots out a large spike from his body which can harm foes below.
Kine		Using this power causes Kirby and Kine to grow spikes all around them like a pufferfish.
Nago		Kirby rapidly launches pink spikes forward from his face as long as the Y button is held, but cannot move while doing so.
Pitch		While the Y button is held, Pitch flies forward in a straight line, continuously pecking at the air before him and defeating opponents in his path.
Rick		Rick extends quills from his back like a porcupine, but leaves his front vulnerable.

Throughout Kirby's Dream Land 3, there are specific blocks which can be broken only with the Needle ability. They are marked with the Needle icon on them.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

Kirby using the Needle ability in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.

The Needle ability returns in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, provided by the enemies Tick, Ghost Knight, Kacti, and Punc. It's reverted back to its behavior from before Kirby's Dream Land 3; activating the ability causes Kirby to flare up and then retract on a timer, rather than holding it for as long as the button is held down, and Kirby also retains his aerial momentum when using the ability in midair, making it useful for attacking while on the move. Enemies that are hit by Needle Kirby will stick to him for a moment before being defeated, traveling with him if he is moving at the time. For the first time, Needle will also cling onto surfaces, such as walls and ceilings, when activated. Like with other Copy Abilities in this game, Needle can be combined with others or itself to make Power Combos as follows:

• Needle-Needle - Combining Needle with itself creates a larger attack involving various pointy objects emitting from Kirby's body.
• Needle-Bomb - Using this combo, Kirby turns into a Gordo-like entity and can float through the air for a moment before detonating and shooting his spikes out.
• Needle-Cutter - Kirby's hands turn into a gaping maw full of sharp teeth which he can clamp above himself to defeat enemies.
• Needle-Burn - Kirby can transform into a bow and arrow, shooting flaming arrows in an arc.
• Needle-Ice - Kirby turns into a giant spiky snowflake that grows outward, freezing any enemies it touches.
• Needle-Spark - Kirby turns into a pointy lightning rod and shoots a lightning bolt upward.
• Needle-Stone - Kirby gains a drill which he can use to bore through obstacles or shoot as a projectile that passes through walls.

Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

Needle reappears in the remake of Kirby's Adventure, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. In this game, Needle Kirby is colored yellow, and he wears a pink-colored cap filled with golden needles. This is the first appearance of this hat in the Kirby series (previously, it was introduced outside of the video games in the anime, Kirby: Right Back at Ya!). Unlike in Kirby's Adventure, Needle Kirby's spikes no longer retract automatically; in addition, he is protected from below while on the ground, like in Kirby's Dream Land 2 onward. Needle is provided by the enemy Needlous, who replaces Spiny from the original game.

Kirby Air Ride

Kirby using the Needle ability in Kirby Air Ride

Needle returns in Kirby Air Ride, accessible when Kirby swallows Pichikuri or if he touches a Needle Copy Ability Panel or Copy Chance Wheel. If Kirby charges with the Needle ability, his spikes extend, hurting any opponent or enemy that is nearby, similar to the Freeze ability in this game. Needle Kirby will also automatically hurt any enemies or rivals that run into him while he has the ability. Like other Copy Abilities in this game, Needle only lasts a short time before it vanishes.

Kirby: Canvas Curse

Needle is one of the few Copy Abilities that make an appearance in Kirby: Canvas Curse. If the player taps Kirby with the Nintendo DS stylus, Kirby turns yellow and spikes protrude from him. He can ride the Rainbow Lines and stick to walls, defeating enemies that touch him. Activating his spikes while riding a line can also give Kirby a momentary speed boost, allowing him to leap upward if going off a ramp. Kirby can receive this ability by colliding with Needlous or Tick.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe

Kirby uses the Mega Needle in a pre-release version of Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

Needle makes a prominent return in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. Kirby can receive it by inhaling Needlous, Tick, or Totenga's head. Compared to its appearances in previous games, Kirby has more attacks at his disposal when using the Needle ability, but it still has less attacks overall than many other abilities in the game. From this game onward, the needles can be held indefinitely for as long as the button is held, like in Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.

Interestingly in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Needle doesn't include Falling Spine in its moveset, unlike other abilities which contain moves that were not introduced until games released after the original Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

Needle Burst	Shake Wii Remote or mash +Control Pad during Needle Attack	B/Y + move directions rapidly	While holding his needles out, Kirby can slowly retract them then cause them to fly outward as projectiles in all directions.
Rolling Needle	Dash + 1	Dash + B/Y	Kirby rolls up into a ball and rolls forward at high speed, similar to Needlous. Kirby can turn around while rolling and cancel the move into Needle Attack at any point.
Mega Needle	↑ + 1	↑ + B/Y	Kirby shoots out a huge needle straight upward that can poke from long distances.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe

Needle appears again in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. The ability has had a few changes: the Rolling Needle attack was removed (most likely due to its similarity to the Wheel ability), and a new move was added. Needle Burst has also been given some changes, as the move now only fires 5 needles instead of 6, and no extra needles are shot out in midair, making it so that the move always fires 5 needles no matter the situation.

When used below a thin floor or next to a ledge, Kirby will stick to the top of it. Kirby can stay upside down for as long as the B button is held.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land / Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World

Needle Kirby catching enemies with a new rolling attack in Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

After an 8-year absence, Needle Kirby returns in Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World. Here, he gains the ability to roll along the ground with spines in all directions, catching enemies as he travels, similar to Snow Bowl or Ice-Ice. In addition, Needle has a couple Evolved Copy Ability forms, those being Clutter Needle and Crystal Needle. Notably, when Kirby retracts his needles, any enemies or objects that were stuck to him will be released, and can be flung as projectiles to hit other enemies or objects at a moderate distance. This "Roll up and Throw" technique can be used to solve certain puzzles, particularly in the Treasure Road stage Roll Up and Throw! Clutter Needle Trial.

In this game, Needle is primarily provided by the enemies Needlous, Totenga, and Jabhog.

Moveset

All attack names are from the Kirby and the Forgotten Land Perfect Support Guide unless otherwise stated.

Needle moveset in Kirby and the Forgotten Land
Move	Button execution	Description	Damage
ニードルボウル Needle Ball	Press and hold B/Y	Kirby extends spikes all around his body. In this state, Kirby is able to ignore strong winds. If the L Stick is moved while the button is held, Kirby can roll around like a ball and can catch enemies and objects with his spikes. As Kirby rolls, he gradually slows down; however, catching enemies and objects also briefly speeds him up. If the attack button is pressed in midair, Kirby spins and dashes in the direction the L-Stick is tilted, before transitioning into Needle Ball.	16 per hit
スピンニードル Spin Needle	A/B or fall from a high ledge during Needle Ball	Kirby jumps while in ball form, allowing him to clear small ledges or hit high-up enemies.	16 per hit
まきちらしニードル Scatter Needle	Release B/Y after catching an enemy or object with Needle Ball	Kirby tosses any enemies or objects stuck to his spikes ahead of him.	50 (thrown enemies/objects)
まきちらしスピンニードル Scatter Spin Needle	Release B/Y after catching an enemy or object with Needle Ball while in midair	If the button is released while Kirby is airborne, any enemies or objects stuck to his spikes get launched further.	50 (thrown enemies/objects)

Kirby's Dream Buffet

Close-up of Needle Kirby in Kirby's Dream Buffet.

Needle Kirby makes another appearance in Kirby's Dream Buffet. Here, his appearance when using the ability hearkens back to earlier games in the series, since spikes that match his skin color pop out all over himself when he uses it instead of gaining a hat. He can charge up and perform Rush Needle by pressing and holding the R button again while the move is active. In this game, the ability is acquired from the spiky Needle Candy found in Food Boxes, and can be used for only a limited duration.

Needle Kirby also appears on a Character Treat, using his artwork from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.

Kirby Air Riders

Needle appears in Kirby Air Riders, functioning the same way it did in Kirby Air Ride: it allows the user to extend spikes whenever charging, damaging nearby opponents. Unlike said game, the spikes now stay extended during Boost Dashes. It is once again provided by Pichikuri. Like all other Copy Abilities in the game, it can be obtained by any rider, not just Kirby.

The Needle hat has its original design in this game, since it has a pink visor instead of the yellow one in current games.

Super Smash Bros. series

Needle Kirby appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Needle Kirby also appears as a sticker. Equipping this sticker grants +29 to "head" attack damage for any fighter.

Needle appears as a Copy Ability in four episodes of the anime series Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. When Kirby acquires this ability, he gains several powers, many of which are not present in the video games. Needle Kirby is able to roll up into a ball, fling his needles out as missiles, and then guide them through the air as they slice through his opponents. Unlike in the games, Needle Kirby is not readily able to replenish his needles once using them, and often loses this ability quickly. In fact, the only enemy that Kirby defeats directly using his own needles is the Pukey Flower, and even then, Meta Knight still delivers the finishing blow.

Trivia

• So far, Needle and Spear are the only Copy Abilities which are translated as only one Chinese character (針/针) in the official Chinese localizations, instead of the more common two or three characters.
• In an advertisement for Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Needle was referred to as "Spike".
