| “ | For a bit of drill action, combine a Stone with a Needle. Press and hold B to charge, and release B to launch the power tool.” |
| — Description • Nintendo Power (Volume #134) |
Stone + Needle (also called Drill[1] or Power Drill[2]) is a Power Combo that Kirby can utilize by mixing the Stone with Needle in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. When activated, a drill grows from Kirby's arm which allows him to rocket sideways, massacring all enemies in his path. By releasing the B button, Kirby releases the drill and it continues on even through walls, plowing through enemies until it disappears.
This ability is needed to obtain the first Crystal Shard in Stage 4 of Shiver Star.
