Rainbow Drops are key items inKirby's Dream Land 2. A total of seven Rainbow Drops exist in the game, one being hidden on each of theRainbow Islands. OnceKirby succeeds in acquiring all of the drops and defeatingKing Dedede, they combine into theRainbow Sword, enabling him to fightDark Matter and get the good ending.

InKirby: Triple Deluxe, a RareKeychain of a Rainbow Drop can be collected. It is found inOld Odyssey - Stage 4.

Locations[edit]

All of the Rainbow Drops in the game are located in secluded rooms, which are found in a certain stage of every level and usually hidden. Most of these rooms contain two or more special blocks, which initially keep Kirby from obtaining the drop. In order to get rid of them, a particularCopy Ability, or a particular combination of anAnimal Friend and an ability, must be used.

Stage	Location
Grass Land -Stage 3	This stage's Rainbow Drop room acts as the third section of the level's third stage. Unlike most of the other chambers, it is not hidden, but simply accessed as part of the regular path Kirby must take through the stage. To break the blocks in the room, theParasol ability is required.
Big Forest -Stage 2	This Rainbow Drop room can be accessed through a door in the second stage. To find it, Kirby has to drop down to the left at the beginning of the stage. To destroy the blocks in the room, theNeedle ability is needed.
Ripple Field -Stage 3	The Rainbow Drop room is found in the third stage. Kirby must dive in the second section and enter a door that can only be reached by usingKine, which takes him to a small, dark chamber. Inside, another door is located, which leads to the Rainbow Drop room. It is hidden, but can be made visible with Kine and theSpark ability. To shatter the blocks in the room, theStone ability has to be used.
Iceberg -Stage 4	The Rainbow Drop room entrance is found in the third section of the fourth stage. Kirby needs Kine and theBurning ability in order to reach it. The door is located in the approximate middle of the area, below a number ofStar Blocks, which cannot be destroyed by Kine's Burning ability; to remove them, the ability has to be temporarily dropped, allowing Kirby to inhale the blocks. To break the blocks keeping Kirby from reaching the Rainbow Drop, theBurning ability is necessary.
Red Canyon -Stage 5	Its Rainbow Drop room can be accessed from the second, auto-scrolling section of stage 5. When Kirby reaches the door to the third section, he must continue to go upwards in order to locate the entrance to the room, which is guarded by threeSpikeys on tiny platforms. To destroy the blocks in the room, Kirby requires the help ofRick and theSpark ability.
Cloudy Park -Stage 2	The Rainbow Drop room is found in the final section of the second stage. Its entrance is not hidden, but rather located in plain sight near the goal door. To obliterate the blocks, theCutter ability is needed. The ability can be obtained fromWaiu in a room that can only be accessed withCoo, who can be freed from a bag in the previous area. To free Coo, Kirby must force two Shotzos out of play by breaking the platforms they are on -Rick and theSpark ability are required to do this; obtaining the Spark ability in this stage requiresKine to be brought in from another stage to swim against a current and enter a room to battleMaster Green, who gives the ability.Blocky must then be defeated in another room to free Rick.
Dark Castle -Stage 7	Its Rainbow Drop room is found in the seventh stage. In the second section, icons of Copy Abilities are hidden behind blocks, which can only be seen if Kirby illuminates the room using Kine and the Spark ability. The following five areas all require Kirby to choose one of two Copy Abilities to advance. Kirby has to pick and use the abilities in the order provided by the icons in the second section in order to reach the Rainbow Drop. There are no breakable blocks in the Rainbow Drop room, but Kirby can only acquire the drop if he used his abilities in the right order in the previous sections. The order is as follows:Burn,Stone,Needle,Ice,Cutter.

Trivia[edit]

• Translations of the word "Rainbow Drop" in other languages tend to interpret "drop" as "teardrop", suggesting that they are the fallen tears of rainbows. However, the Japanese term uses the word for "water droplet" (しずくshizuku) rather than "tear" (涙namida). The low detail of the original sprite makes it unclear which one it is supposed to be.
