Zap

Zap (previously called Thunder) is an element in the Kirby series.

General Information
Zap is the electricity-based element. Copy Abilities such as Spark, Beam, and Plasma excel at using this element, but it can also be found in other abilities and Dream Friends, such as ESP, UFO's Chain Beam and Star Guard, Doctor's Science Lab, Adeleine's Ado's Painter as Kracko, and Daroach's Summon Doc. Zap is used for electrifying water and metal surfaces and powering wires, and is very effective against water-based enemies.

Kirby: Squeak Squad
Kirby: Squeak Squad makes a more prominent focus on the Fire, Thunder, and Ice elements compared to previous games. The thunder element can electrify the surfaces of water and metal. Copy Abilities with these elements, Spark and Beam, can be obtained by mixing Ability bubbles until green bubbles appear; UFO also have moves with the thunder element.

The Wheel Ability Scroll allows Kirby's wheel form to pick up the thunder element when crossing sparks. The Sword Scroll allows the player to mix Sword with Spark to obtain the Thunder Sword, which simply acts as the Sword Copy Ability, but all of the moves do electric damage. The Bomb Scroll allows the player to mix Bomb with Spark to obtain the Thunder Bomb, which simply acts as the Bomb Copy Ability, but all of the moves do electric damage.

Kirby Star Allies
Kirby Star Allies brings a greater focus on using abilities in tangent with one another in order to create Friend Abilities. The Zap element is found in Beam, Plasma, ESP, Adeleine's Ado's Painter as Kracko, and Daroach's Summon Doc. Zap can electrify the surface of water and power wires. Zap can be used in conjunction with the following Copy Abilities and Dream Friends the perform these Friend Abilities:
 * Water: Zap Splasher

 * Cutter: Zap Cutter
 * Hammer/King Dedede: Zap Hammer
