As mentioned above, Poison is similar to the Water ability in many respects; Kirby can release spouts from his hat, slide around on a trail of poison, and throw poison blobs around. However, many of the Poison ability's attacks leave behind damaging residue (such as puddles or clouds) that can inflict continuous damage on enemies that touch them.

Trivia
One concept drawing of Poison's ability hat depicts Kirby donning a purple wizard hat with a wooden staff[1]. This might have been a nod to the character Garstein from Alcahest, an action RPG developed by HAL Laboratory. The relation between the Poison artwork and the character is that when Garstein joins the player, he talks about a cave being filled with poisonous gas.
The Poison ability can be obtained via several amiibo: Ganondorf, Callie, Marie, Inkling Boy (blue and purple), Inkling Girl (orange and green), and Inkling Squid (green and orange).
