Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards[]
Stone Needle is a Power Combo made by combining the Stone and Needle Copy Abilities. Kirby's arm transforms into a drill that carries him forward and can release the drill bit as a piercing projectile. When used in the air, Kirby's feet can also transform into a downward-aimed drill.
It is required to obtain the first Crystal Shard in Stage 4 of Shiver Star.
