"Crack a whip and use it to latch on to distant things."

- Kirby Battle Royale - Kirby's 25th Anniversary Copy Ability Poll

Whip is a Copy Ability introduced in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

General Information
Whip's attacks are fast and have moderate range, but below average power. Using the whip, Kirby can grab enemies and items, and hit switches; all attacks go through walls and can grab or attack whatever lies beyond them. There is also a Whip Challenge that can be accessed after collecting 25 Energy Spheres in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

Trivia

 * Whip Kirby is an obvious passing reference to the action hero Indiana Jones, as the latter has an extensible coiled whip that can be used to grab objects. The former has the latter's fedora, except with a star motif.
 * Larger enemies, such as Pactos and Armored Waddle Dees, cannot be grabbed by the whip.
 * The whip is similar to the Yarn Whip in Kirby's Epic Yarn. Both are whips that Kirby uses to pull in enemies and items, as well as to attack. However, the Yarn Whip can only grab enemies and throw them while the whip can also be used to hit enemies.
