'''Throw''' is one of [[Kirby]]'s many [[Copy Abilities]]. The ability debuted in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', and specializes in throws and grab attacks.
 +
'''Throw''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. Its power is to inhale, grab, and throw [[Regular enemy|enemies]].
−
==General Information==
  
−
With this ability, Kirby [[inhale]]s an enemy or projectile to grab it and then throws it in any direction. This will KO most enemies hit by the thrown object. The thrown enemy or projectile will always be decimated after the attack. Throws cannot be performed on any enemies that Kirby can't inhale, like [[boss]]es and [[mid-boss]]es (although in some games, Kirby can Throw defeated mid-bosses.) If Kirby tries to inhale one of the major members of the [[Squeak Squad]], however, it will stun them and make them drop whatever [[Treasure Chest]] they happen to be holding (as with his regular inhale.)
  
   
  +
==Games==
−
While Kirby is aiming his attack, all normal enemies that touch him will be KO'd and all mid-bosses or bosses nearby take huge amounts of damage per second until the object is thrown. This strategy, while unreliable, can be abused to defeat the strongest of bosses within an extremely short time frame. The same happens while [[Backdrop]] Kirby is holding an object or enemy. Throw can also take on an element with a [[Copy Scroll]] if the enemy gives an ability that is related to the fire, ice, or electric elements. This will burn, freeze, or electrocute objects and enemies.

Throw debuts in ''Kirby's Adventure'', where it is obtained from [[Rolling Turtle]]. Throw allows Kirby to inhale any enemy or projectile and throw it in any direction. While Kirby is aiming his attack, all normal enemies that touch him will be KO'd and all mid-bosses or bosses nearby take huge amounts of damage per second until the object is thrown. Throw cannot be performed on enemies Kirby cannot inhale, such as [[boss]]es.
   
  +
In the remake, ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'', Throw is now obtained from Rolling Turtle's replacement, [[Phan Phan]].
−
Throw's headband is similar to that of [[Suplex]] in that it is blue (though the Throw headband is in a lighter shade and Suplex Kirby is, on an unrelated note, darker).
