Spider is aCopy Ability that debuted inKirby Star Allies which allows Kirby to ensnare his enemies in thick webs, encasing them in cocoons which he can then kick out of the way, much like when enemies are frozen using theIce andFreeze abilities (bosses andmid-bosses cannot be encased, and will instead take damage while touching a web). When Kirby has the Spider ability, he gains a purple top hat with spider eyes and web decals, along with small 'legs' that hang off the rim. In addition to ensnaring enemies, Spider Kirby can also use his webs as trampolines to perform theFriend Bounce technique. As implied by the name, these webs can also be used by Kirby'sfriends.
Spider is obtained from the enemyComo (who up to that point never provided an ability), and Como also serves as the ability's representativefriend.
Game appearances[edit]
Kirby Star Allies[edit]
Spider made its debut inKirby Star Allies. Using this ability, Kirby can ensnare his foes in webs and kick them aside or toss them, and can create web trampolines which he can use to bounce himself and his friends safely through hazards and toward objectives. Kirby can also wrap himself in silk for protection, with any enemies touching theguard pod taking damage from spikes that jut out from the pod. In addition to Spider Kirby and Como,Taranza also has some elements of the Spider ability in his moveset, along with his own Friend Bounce. While not stated in game, it is possible to bounce off of any web Kirby sets and not just ones created using Friend Bounce by pressing the jump button next to a web.
