Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards[]
Burning Needle is a Power Combo made by combining the Burning and Needle Copy Abilities. Kirby transforms into a bow armed with a fiery hot arrow, which he is able to launch. The longer the B button is held, the tighter he will pull the string and the further he will aim. Kirby can still jump in this form.
It is required to obtain a Crystal Shard hidden under a floor in Stage 3 of Ripple Star.

Kirby transforms into a taut bow with a fire-tipped arrow by pressing B. Holding B causes Kirby to tilt back, increasing the angle and distance of the shot, which follows a ballistic trajectory; Kirby can move in this form, but only by jumping by pressing A. Any arrows fired will leave a lingering flame where they land. | Sizzle |
