Explosive Ninja Stars

Shuriken Bombs (also called the "exploding shuriken") is a mix ability. Kirby gets it by mixing Cutter with Bomb. Kirby throws an explosive ninja star- hence the name. This is known as one of the best abilities in Kirby 64. It is also the closest thing to the Ninja ability in this game, despite Kirby not using shurikens until Kirby: Squeak Squad.

When the ability is used, Kirby throws it from behind him, over his head, and when it reaches his front side, it disappears. It then appears on the first object, enemy, wall, etc. straight in front of where Kirby threw it. It will flash and then explode. All this happens in one to two seconds depending on the distance. In water, the entire process slows down to half the speed, including the period of time the ninja star vanishes.

When the shuriken comes in contact with an enemy, the enemy will remain motionless until the shuriken explodes.
