Games[]
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards[]
Spark-i attacks by opening up and shooting out a ball of electricity in Kirby's general direction when he gets close; it can only fire in eight directions. When held above Kirby's head, Spark-i fires a spread of three balls of electric from its eye. Big Spark-i appears in Stage 4 of Rock Star as a Room Guarder; in addition to summoning regular Spark-is, one at a time, that also have the unique behavior to move before shooting, Big Spark-i also attacks in the same way the regular ones do. It takes four hits to defeat and drops the stage's third Crystal Shard when defeated.
Etymology[]
Spark-i's name references the ability it gives, Spark, and the fact that it has one eye, similarly to I³.
Its Japanese name, ラミ (Rami), is a reference to Ramiel, the fifth angel in the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. They also share similar appearances and abilities.
