Cracker

The Cracker (also called Fireworks ) is an item in Kirby Air Ride and Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

When held, it fires arcing shots automatically to a fixed distance ahead of them for as long as it lasts.

Appearance
It is an orange-colored device with a large, cylindrical body and a flared opening where the shots are fired from. The star decoration on the body is yellow in Kirby Air Ride, and changes color in Kirby's Return to Dream Land depending on the state of the Cracker; green when new and red when expired.

In Kirby Air Ride
It is available in City Trial mode and in the Destruction Derby arenas as a randomly spawning power-up. It can only be picked up while on an Air Ride Machine.

In Kirby's Return to Dream Land
The Cracker has the ability to destroy metal blocks. Characters holding it cannot float or fly, and will drop it if they are injured. It has its own segment as part of the Item Challenge.
