Staff

Staff is one of Kirby's Copy Abilities, first appearing in Kirby Star Allies.

General Information
The Staff ability allows Kirby to wield an extendable staff. This can be used for jabbing, swinging, and using like a pogo stick. Some attacks that use the staff have long range, or reach into the air. The Staff ability can be permanently imbued with an element.

Trivia

 * Staff is based on the the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a magical, extendable staff wielded by Sun Wukong from the 16th-century classic Chinese novel Journey to the West.
 * Staff is the second direct reference to Journey to the West in the Kirby game series, the first being Goku's appearance in Kirby's Dream Land 3.
 * Staff is similar to Baton, but works completely differently, instead being used for physical attacks instead of manipulating enemies' movement. The ability also bears similarities to Spear, which also uses physical attacks.
