(→‎Games: Kirby needs to e tapped, not have B pressed. Also used GBA rather than NES buttons thanks to KatAM (I use DS buttons for KAtAM/KSqSq because it's more recent) even though I use NES for general bc KA was ported more than its remake)

'''Burning''' (called '''Fireball''' in the English language version of ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'', and '''Burn''' in the instruction booklets for ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]''<ref>[http://www.kirbysrainbowresort.net/games/blockball/instruction/bb0607.jpg ''Kirby's Block Ball'' instruction booklet]</ref> and ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''<ref>[http://www.kirbysrainbowresort.net/games/kirby64/instruction/page12and13.jpg ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' instruction booklet]</ref>), is a [[Copy Ability]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], debuting in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''.
   
  +
==Games==
==General Information==
 
  +
===''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', and ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''===
It is often merged with the [[Fire]] ability mainly because of its simplistic form of attack. In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', and ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', the actual Fire ability is absent, although Burning appears to be its replacement. When the Burning ability is used in conjunction with an [[Animal Friend]] (with the exception of [[Kine]]) underwater, its range and power are greatly reduced.
 
  +
Burning focuses on flying forward while engulfed in flames to deal damage. As Burning focuses on ramming into enemies, it uses invincibility to prevent from taking damage itself. In addition to being able to light [[cannon]] fuses, Burning is also one of the few [[Copy Abilities]] that can destroy [[Metal Block]]s. Burning can be obtained from the [[Flamer]] [[Regular enemy|enemy]] and the [[Fire Lion]] [[mid-boss]].
   
  +
Starting in ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'', Burning wears a bejeweled tiara and he's constantly holding flames in his hands.
Kirby gets this ability when he [[inhale]]s an enemy that constantly radiates heat around itself, the most common being [[Flamer]]. When the ability is used, Kirby is wrapped in a coat of flames and then charges forward at super speed, burning any enemy he goes through. It is able to light fuses, and in all games (except for ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''/''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''), it can break through [[Metal Block]]s.
 
   
  +
In ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'', Burning can be obtained from Flamer, [[Batafire]], [[Moley]]'s oil cans, and from [[Master Hand]]'s or [[Crazy Hand]]'s bullets.
Because of its absence as its own ability in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', Burning didn't receive its hat until ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', alongside [[Hammer]], [[Spark]], [[Hi-Jump]], and others. Burning Kirby wears a bejeweled tiara, and he's constantly holding flames in his hands.

General=
While Burning is often considered a "safe" ability in platformer games due to its generous window of invincibility, it is an extremely dangerous and uncontrollable ability in ''Kirby's Dream Course''. Activating it in this game will immediately launch Kirby forward at tremendous speed, reaching his top possible speed, which will often lead to him overshooting and ending up outside the course. It is best used in very large holes with a lot of ground to cover, or to ricochet for a long time inside of closed mazes of green bumpers without any elevation changes that might fling Kirby outside of them. If activated in the air, Kirby's altitude will not change for as long as the fire lasts.

  +
Burning allows Kirby to achieve maximum velocity for a brief period of time, allowing Kirby to cover great distances; as such, [[Flamer]] is usually placed in holes where this speed boost would be desirable. Burning can backfire if not used properly, however, potentially causing Kirby to overshoot the intended position or go OB, losing a life (or two [[health]] in the case of multiplayer) and the [[Copy Ability]] in the process.
  +
  +
In multiplayer, the [[Transformer]] has the potential to give the player Burning.
  +
  +
===''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''===
  +
Burning can be combined with one of the [[Animal Friends]] to give it a different move. It is also the only Copy Ability that can destroy the Burning [[Ability Block]]s.
  +
  +
In ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'', Burning can be combined with [[Rick]], [[Coo]], or [[Kine]]. Burning can be obtained from [[Flamer]], [[Efreeti]], and [[Mr. Bright]]'s stars (which had given the [[Fire]] Copy Ability prior to this game).
  +
  +
In ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'', Burning can also be combined with [[Nago]], [[ChuChu]], and [[Pitch]]. [[Gooey]], who behaves near identically to Kirby, can also obtain Burning. Burning can be obtained from [[Bobo]], [[Galbo]], [[Magoo]], the Burning [[Bukiset]], and [[Boboo]]; Mr. Bright, who appears as one of [[Ado]]'s paintings in this game, doesn't give any Copy Ability.

  +
Burning lets Kirby fly straight up as a fireball. This destroys any [[white block]]s, [[gray block]]s, and [[Environment#Ability Block_2|Ability Block]]s in its way for double points. After reaching the top of the Stage, Kirby will bounce 45° to the left. Burning can be obtained from [[Flamer]] or a [[Changer]]. Functionally, it is the opposite of [[Stone]].
   
  +
===''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''===
  +
Burning can be combined with other [[Copy Abilities]] to create [[Power Combo]]s, which can be used to create various fiery options. Burning is capable of destroying red color-coded blocks. Burning can be obtained from [[Bobo]], [[Galbo]], [[Burnis]], [[Magoo]], and [[Miracle Matter]]'s Burning form.

Not to be confused with Fire.

Burst into flames and blast into enemies!
— Kirby Battle Royale - Kirby's 25th Anniversary Copy Ability Poll

Burning (called Fireball in the English language version of Kirby's Adventure and Kirby's Dream Course, and Burn in the instruction booklets for Kirby's Block Ball[1] and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards[2]), is a Copy Ability in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Adventure.

Games

Kirby's Adventure, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror

Burning focuses on flying forward while engulfed in flames to deal damage. As Burning focuses on ramming into enemies, it uses invincibility to prevent from taking damage itself. In addition to being able to light cannon fuses, Burning is also one of the few Copy Abilities that can destroy Metal Blocks. Burning can be obtained from the Flamer enemy and the Fire Lion mid-boss.

Starting in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Burning wears a bejeweled tiara and he's constantly holding flames in his hands.

In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Burning can be obtained from Flamer, Batafire, Moley's oil cans, and from Master Hand's or Crazy Hand's bullets.

Kirby's Dream Course

Burning allows Kirby to achieve maximum velocity for a brief period of time, allowing Kirby to cover great distances; as such, Flamer is usually placed in holes where this speed boost would be desirable. Burning can backfire if not used properly, however, potentially causing Kirby to overshoot the intended position or go OB, losing a life (or two health in the case of multiplayer) and the Copy Ability in the process.

In multiplayer, the Transformer has the potential to give the player Burning.

Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Kirby's Dream Land 3

Burning can be combined with one of the Animal Friends to give it a different move. It is also the only Copy Ability that can destroy the Burning Ability Blocks.

In Kirby's Dream Land 2, Burning can be combined with Rick, Coo, or Kine. Burning can be obtained from Flamer, Efreeti, and Mr. Bright's stars (which had given the Fire Copy Ability prior to this game).

In Kirby's Dream Land 3, Burning can also be combined with Nago, ChuChu, and Pitch. Gooey, who behaves near identically to Kirby, can also obtain Burning. Burning can be obtained from Bobo, Galbo, Magoo, the Burning Bukiset, and Boboo; Mr. Bright, who appears as one of Ado's paintings in this game, doesn't give any Copy Ability.

Kirby's Block Ball

Burning lets Kirby fly straight up as a fireball. This destroys any white blocks, gray blocks, and Ability Blocks in its way for double points. After reaching the top of the Stage, Kirby will bounce 45° to the left. Burning can be obtained from Flamer or a Changer. Functionally, it is the opposite of Stone.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

Burning can be combined with other Copy Abilities to create Power Combos, which can be used to create various fiery options. Burning is capable of destroying red color-coded blocks. Burning can be obtained from Bobo, Galbo, Burnis, Magoo, and Miracle Matter's Burning form.

Trivia

  • Despite its various name changes in English, Burning was always called "Burning" in Japanese, being written in English text in its icon in Kirby's Adventure.
    • The Japanese version's Copy Ability icons are the same as the English versions, with this being the only exception. Most other HUD icons that aren't abilities have Japanese text.
  • In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the trophy for Fire Kirby erroneously states that it appeared in Kirby: Canvas Curse, when it was actually Burning that appeared.
  • Oddly, Burning cannot be used underwater in Kirby: Canvas Curse, despite that most other abilities can, and Burning has been usable underwater previously.
    • Although, it could be a nod where water puts out fire.
  • This is the first Copy Ability to be renamed in a subsequent Kirby title; the second is Smash Bros. and the third is Cleaning.
  • Despite being the more limited Copy Ability between Fire and itself, Burning appeared in more games than Fire up until Kirby: Canvas Curse, the ninth game it was included in; Fire's ninth game was Kirby: Triple Deluxe, released nine years later, and Fire surpassed Burning with the release of Kirby: Planet Robobot. Burning would only reappear again in Kirby's Dream Buffet, but by that time, Fire had appeared in 12 games, two more than Burning did at that point.
  • This is one of the few abilities to change the appearance of Kirby's hands. Others include Ghost, where Kirby's hands become ghost-like, UFO, where his hands disappear entirely, Animal, where his hands have claws, and ESP, where his hands hold psychic energy.
  • Despite lunging straight forward normally, Kirby twists when doing this move in the Super Smash Bros. games.
  • Although Burning is featured in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, the 4th HUD option in the Japanese version shows its icon as 火 (Fire).
