— In-game quote

ESP Mode is one of theRobobot Armor modes. It transforms the hands onKirby's mech, making them disembodied and much larger. They also become capable of flinging about many orbs of psychokinetic energy. These orbs can also conduct electricity. When charging an attack, the ESP Armor can hover along the ground, much likeESP Kirby.
