Stone

"No one can hurt me! Look out below!"

- Stone's Flavour Text

Stone is one of Kirby's Copy abilities.

Stone is almost entirely a defensive move- unless Kirby happens to use it above a foe's head. Stone is an easy way to beat bosses with minimal damage by simply dropping over the boss' head and staying in stone form until the boss moves away. It can also avoid devastating full-screen attacks, like Marx's black hole. The hat looks somewhat like a samurai helmet with a red tuft of hair on the top and a guard on the back, with a star on the forehead piece.

Super Smash Bros. Series
In the Super Smash Bros. games Stone ability is Kirby's Down Special attack. He can only turn into his distinct rock form in Super Smash Bros., but in Melee and Brawl the ability acts more like it's Super Star variant turning Kirby into a variety of things such as; a 100t Weight, a garbage block from Panel de Pon (In the floral style associated with the character Lip), a spiked ball, and a Thwomp from the Mario Series as well as the regular stone Kirby.

Like in Kirby's own games, he's still invulnerable to attacks (except grapples and throws) regardless of what he turns into and only hurts other fighters if used over their heads. The Stone also slides down slopes, so care needs to be taken when using the move near slopes.

Kirby: Right Back At Ya!
Kirby keeps the hat from Super Star, but in this version his skin turns stone-gray. Surprisingly, the ability works more like one from Kirby 64, specifically the Double Stone mix, allowing Kirby to turn into a giant, pink stone statue of himself which can walk and jump, albeit very slowly.

Stone Kirby relies on it's sheer bulk to crush enemies. when he transforms he shouts stone kaabii!
