Parasol

This is about the Parasol Ability for the Parasol Enemy, see Parasol (Enemy) "The sun shines on this Parasol of mine. Where I walk, enemies balk, and I float gently down"

- Parasol's Flavour Text

Parasol is a copy ability.

A deceptively simple, harmless looking ability, it allows Kirby to use a red and white striped, star-tipped parasol as a weapon, slow his fall from high places, and protect his head from most attacks. Parasol is one of the few abilities to never have Kirby wearing a hat, other than many of the final abilities like Star Rod.

It is one of the few abilities that may be used in water.

Features
Note: In certain games (Kirby's Dream Land 3 comes to mind) Kirby may not be holding the Parasol over his head when he enters a new room and will therefore be unable to use the Drift and Shield abilities until Kirby attacks with it, then he will hold it over his head.

In Kirby: Right Back At Ya!
Parasol Kirby in the anime is most like the version from Super Star, with several of the same attacks- namely Parasol Swing and Parasol Shield, in addition to Parasol Grab and Throw, which he uses on Dedede. In the transformation sequence, Kirby lands atop his parasol. It spins, making Kirby dizzy, and he gets off. Kirby takes the Parasol floating down.

In Episode 13, the ability's first appearance, Kirby did not use it in battle, but instead only to slow his fall from high up in the air.

The handle is green instead of white from the games.

Kirby (Wii)
Parasol appears in one of the screenshots for this game. It supposedly has all of its techniques from Super Star and its remake, as Kirby is seen using the "Circus Throw" in the screenshot.

Trivia

 * This is the only ability in the anime that never used it's transformation sequence the first time it was used. It is also the first ability that Kirby uses that did not show a transfomation sequence.
 * Paint Roller draws the Parasol (without Kirby holding it) in the Paint Panic subgame.
