Kirby Submarine

"Kirby can turn into a cute little submersible when he has to work underwater. You can guide his missiles with a rainbow rope to hit hard-to-reach targets. But that periscope is just for show- Kirby doesn't even know how to use it!"

- Figurine description

Kirby Submarine is a transformation that Kirby can take on with the help of Elline in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse.

Physical Appearance
When in this form, Kirby takes on the appearance of a submarine- he retains his pink body and his face, but he gains a yellow rudder, a red marking on each side of him, and a pink periscope. The torpedoes that he fires are white and red.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
The Kirby Submarine debuted in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, where it can be used in two stages. While he is in this form, Kirby must nearly always remain submerged in water. In order to move Kirby in this form, one must plot a point on the stage with the stylus- he will travel towards it. The Kirby Submarine will fire torpedoes automatically in a straight line, but Rainbow Ropes can help to guide them in a different direction in order to hit objects or enemies that would otherwise be impossible to destroy in this form.

If Kirby collects enough point stars, he will become able to shoot a single torpedo that is more powerful than the normal ones. These larger torpedoes are also more durable, and they will not explode immediately once they come into contact with a wall- they are even able to break through Metal Blocks. Instead, they will bounce around for a while until they go off-screen or until they simply disappear.

Trivia

 * While Kirby is being transformed into the Kirby Submarine, Elline momentarily turns him into what looks like Kine the Fish.
