 Kirby 64 Ability Guide By: Mike Shaw (Folx Numeroso is my nickname)I. Version History Version 1.0: 7/01/00 I created this guide Version 1.1: 7/14/00 I added the statue's abilities and rated all of theskills Version 1.2: 8/17/00 I fixed the dynamite power and added the enemy list.II. Basic Abilities Copy- Kirby's most basic attack. He basically sucks his enemy into hismouth (button B), as in all Kirby games. He can do a few things while theenemy is in his mouth. 1) Kirby can Swallow the enemy (down on D-pad) andgain it's power (if it has any). 2)Kirby can Spit the enemy out (button B)and hit other enemies with it. 3)An added feature (probably based on theSuplex power from Kirby Superstar for SNES) Kirby can lift the enemy on top ofhis head (L,R, and C buttons). While lifted, the enemy can be thrown upward(L,R, and C buttons) or forward (button B). Some enemies will do specialthings while you hold them (Ex. Bumber slows your descent, like the Parasolpower in other Kirby games, and Fishbone shoots while you hold him). Rating: 9: great, can't fly with an enemy, though (aside from a few thatfly themselves on top of your head) Burn- A.k.a. Fire. Kirby basically turns into a fireball and fliesforward (button B), destroying anything in his path. The attack lasts longerin air than on the ground. Surprisingly, you can use it underwater! Rating: 4: fair, but it leaves you vulnerable after the attack Stone- Kirby turns into a rock (button B). Unlike other Kirby games, herolls if he was moving and can even walk (left/right on d-pad) while in apetrified state! Rating: 7: pretty nice, but you can't jump or go up hills and it slows youdown considerably. Ice- A.k.a. Freeze. Kirby Spins and blows cold air (button B), freezingall enemies that the cold air touches. He can then knock the frozen enemy intoanother enemy, destroying them both. Rating: 9: great, but it slows you down Needle- A.k.a. Spike. Kirby basically covers himself in spikes (buttonB). If Kirby is in the air while he uses this attack, he spins. Rating: 9: only drawback is that it slows you down Bomb- BOOM! Kirby throws a bomb (button B), then it explodes anddestroys all enemies that the explosion touches. The longer you hold B, thefarther the bomb goes. Simple enough. Rating: 9: this skill is hard to master, but once you do… Spark- Surrounds Kirby with a barrier of electricity (button B). Kirbycan move while using this attack, but it's really slow, and that barrier getssmaller. Rating: 9 (almost 10): slows you down Cutter- Kirby sends a boomerang (button B) which is actually part ofhimself! Simplest explanation I've had to do yet. Rating: 4: you can only send out 1 cutter, it slows you down, can't fly,can't go up ledges, and leaves you very vulnerableIII. Combining There are a four ways to combine abilities. I'll explain. 1)Swallow two enemies with special powers. 2)Spit one enemy with a special power into another enemy with aspecial power. 3)Throw an enemy with a power into another. 4)Throw a power star into an enemy with a power. (push L/R/C buttonswhile you have a special power or get hit enough)VI. Combined Powers (I made up all of these names) Burn + Burn = Big Burn- Same as burn, only bigger and longer lasting. Rating: 7: leaves you vulnerable. Burn + Stone = Volcano- Kirby shoots stones out of his head (buttonB). The stones go straight up unless you redirect it (d-pad) Rating: 5: short range + leaves you vulnerable, annoying to use sometimes(slows you down considerably) Burn + Ice = Steam Spin- As the name suggests, Kirby shoots steam out ofhis sides and spins as he melts a block of ice. Rating: 1: short range, vulnerable, low chance of hitting enemy, slows youdown, etc. Burn + Needle = Fire Arrows- Shoots Flaming Arrows (button B). Thelonger you hold B, the farther it shoots. Rating: 10: hard to master, but once you do… Burn + Bomb = Fireworks- Kirby explodes (B). The explosions look likefireworks. You can push B up to 3 times in a row to make the explosionsbigger. Rating: 9: use it above a cliff/ hole and you'll se the only reason thatit's not a 10. Burn + Spark = Friction Burn- Kirby rubs his head with paper (hold B).Sparks fly until his head lights on fire. Then, he runs with his head onfire. That's it. Rating: 6: not very good, slows you down, but it is very efficient. Burn + Cutter = Flaming Sword- This one's cool! Kirby pulls out a bigflaming sword (B) and swings it (B) at enemies. Push up and he'll hold thesword up. Press B while the sword's up, and he'll throw it! Rating: 9: he can't fly with it Stone + Stone = Big Stone- Big version of Stone. Rating: 9: fast, efficient, but you can't jump or go up hills Stone + ice = Hockey Puck- Kirby turns into a hockey puck (?) and slidesaround. Rating: 7: slows you down, leaves you kind of vulnerable, but it'sefficient Stone + Needle = Drill- Kirby hangs on as a drill drags him behind it.Let go of B to shoot the drill. Rating: 10: master this and you're invincible! Stone + Bomb = Dynamite! - Kirby throws 3-sticks of dynamite. ProbablyTHE Biggest explosion you'll ever see in the game! Hold down after you throwthe bomb to put on a hard hat. Rating: 7: slows you down, don't use it in the air, Can damage you! Stone + Spark = Magnetic Boulder- Kirby plays tetherball with amagnetized rock. Rating: 8: master this and you have a pretty good skill. But it's hard tokeep it moving and you can't control where it goes Stone + Cutter = Statue- Kirby turns into a statue. Each Statue can dodifferent things. The cat can do flips to jump farther. Bouncy can jump. Theowl (forgot his name) can fly. Kine just sits there. Here are the useful ones:the small bird can fly (quickly) and roll when it touches down. Rick can climbup walls (pressing a repeatedly while touching and facing the wall). Rating: 10: NICE!! The only drawback is that you have to wait for a goodstatue to come up, but that's not a problem! Ice + Ice = Snowball- Kirby turns into a giant snowball and rolls overenemies. Rating: 10: almost no drawbacks! Ice + Needle =Snow Flake- Kirby turns into a snowflake (hold B)thatgrows really big and freezes everything it touches. Rating: 7: REEEEEALY SLOW!! Ice + Bomb = Snowman Surprise!- Kirby puts a bomb on his head, turnsinto a snowman (B), and in a few seconds.. KABOOM!!! Rating: 4: can't set it off yourself, generally bad! Ice + Spark = Fridge- Kirby turns into a refrigerator and spits out food(B). The food Heals Kirby!!! =^D Rating: 10: the food kills enemies, too! Ice + Cutter = Ice Skates- Kirby gets some ice skates and goes skating(B). Stop (B) or change direction to attack. You can also jump to attack (WOW!Kirby can REALLY ice skate) (Triple axle X 21) Rating: 9: Short range Needle + Needle = Swiss army Knife- Basically, a bigger needle attack. Rating: 9: just a tiny bit better than needle. Needle + Bomb = Gordo- Kirby turns into gordo (B) and can move around alittle. After a few seconds.. Bang! Rating: 8: REALLY SLOW! Needle + Spark = Lightning Rod- A spike sticks through Kirby's head anda bolt of lightning hits. Rating: 7: slows you down, is kind of annoying sometimes! Needle + Cutter = Antlion Attack- A pair of pincers chomp anythingdirectly above or to the side of Kirby. Rating: 9: slows you down a bit, still, it's really good. Bomb + Bomb = Missile- Kirby shoots 1-3 heat seeking missiles. Rating: 10: Perfect attack!!! Bomb + Spark = Light bulb- Kirby turns into a light bulb and eventuallyexplodes. Rating: 7: not very good, slows you down. Bomb + Cutter = Ninja Star- Kirby throws a black star. When it hits, itexplodes. Rating: 10: master this for a deadly skill! Spark + Spark = Megavolt- A big version of spark Rating: 10: awesome attack! Slows you down a bit, though Spark + Cutter = 2-Sided Light Saber- just like Darth Maul's Saber, butit's yellow. Rating: 9: can't fly with it Cutter + Cutter = Big Cutter- Giant version of cutter. Rating: same as cutterV.
