Ball (form)


Ball (called Ball Kirby or Kirby Ball in some games) is a form that Kirby takes in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Pinball Land. He is shown to possess the ability to freely take on this form in certain games, specifically spin-offs. Other characters in the series, such as King Dedede and Meta Knight, take on this form as well.

Physical Appearance
When in this form, Kirby loses his limbs and becomes a complete sphere. He maintains his face, however.

Kirby's Pinball Land
In this game, Kirby takes on Ball form because it is the optimal way of traversing the Pinball Lands. He changes back into his normal self when he battles bosses, gets KO'd, rides a Warp Star, and confronts King Dedede at the end of the game. In pinball form, the pink puff loses his mouth and blush, though these features occasionally reappear for brief cutscenes.

Kirby's Dream Course
Don't forget to mention Kirby Bowl 64!

Kirby's Dream Land 2
Kirby takes on Ball form when his Animal Friends use certain Copy Abilities. These are Rick's Ice and Parasol attacks and Coo's Burning and Spark attacks.

Kirby's Dream Land 3
When Kirby teams up with Nago, the pink puff is converted into Ball form and rolled around by his partner. Kirby is spherical for all of Nago's attacks except Clean. The four Copy Ability-Animal Friend attacks that turn him into a ball in Kirby's Dream Land 2 still do that in this game.

Kirby briefly becomes a ball when spat out by Pacto, Peloo, and Zebon. Gooey is able to turn into Ball form the same ways Kirby can.

Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble
Though the entire game centers around Kirby rolling the along ground and platforms, Kirby is not in Ball form, as his hands and feet are simply tucked more tightly into his body. He only achieves the form in the Kirby's Roll-o-Rama sub-game, which has the player tilt the Game Boy Color to roll two or more spherical Kirbys into holes under a time limit.

Kirby: Canvas Curse
The game begins with the sorceress Drawcia transforming Dream Land into paint, and when Kirby confronts her, she transforms him into a ball. He cannot be controlled with buttons or the +Control Pad; instead, the player must use the Magical Paintbrush (the Nintendo DS stylus) to tap him and draw rainbow lines on the Touch Screen. Kirby slowly rolls forward automatically, and tapping him causes him to perform a Touch-Dash technique: He gains a brief burst of speed that enables him to defeat most enemies without taking damage. To guide the hero, the player can draw rainbow lines under him, which he follows.

Additionally, Kirby floats in water, but Touch-Dashing causes him to dive. Various obstacles can halt or move him, so the player must learn to use these effectively or avoid them altogether to progress. He can use several Copy Abilities as well, all of which are controlled using the stylus. Kirby remains in ball form in the sub-games as well.

Other playable characters include Waddle Dee, Waddle Doo, King Dedede, and Meta Knight. All of them are balls and have different attributes.

By the end of the game, Drawcia is defeated; Kirby and Dream Land are restored to their normal selves.

Kirby: Canvas Curse ' s spiritual successor, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse features similar gameplay. However, Kirby is not in ball form--he simply chooses to roll by tucking in his hands and feet.

Kirby's Epic Yarn
In multiplayer, Kirby or Prince Fluff can Yarn Whip each other; one grabs the other and holds him over his head, and can then throw his partner as an attack. The character who is grabbed takes the form of a yarn baseball with eyes (and a crown in Fluff's case).

Kirby Mass Attack
The Kirbys take on Ball form twice in this game: once in the rainbow pinball table in Stage 2 of Dedede Resort, and again in the Kirby Brawlball sub-game. The former has the player fire Kirbys out of an autocannon into a pachinko machine; the Kirbys' goal is to collect the Maxim Tomatoes and Medals in the table's pockets while avoiding the skull pocket at the top.

Kirby Brawlball is an homage to Kirby's Pinball Land, and as such, the hero is used as a pinball. Following Kirby Mass Attack ' s theme of controlling multiple Kirbys, the player is able to spawn more balls by lining up three Kirby images in roulettes or hitting the miniature Marx during the last boss battle. The sub-game ends when all present Kirbys fall into the drain.

Trivia

 * Kirby: Canvas Curse was not first conceptualized with the Kirby series in mind. Employees at Nintendo wanted to create a game in which a character moved along a rainbow. When members of the staff thought about making the character a ball, they remembered Kirby, and the game ultimately became a part of the series.
 * Concept artwork seems to suggest that additional playable characters were considered for Kirby: Canvas Curse; these characters include Lololo & Lalala, 0, Dark Matter, and Nightmare's Power Orb form.
