| “ | Kirby gained the mysterious Mouthful Mode ability after he flew through that vortex... Now he can stuff a huge amount of water into his mouth! Fill yourself up at a water pipe, wobble over to a patch of muck, and spray it away to clear a path forward. Thanks for cleaning up! | ” | — Figure description fromKirby and the Forgotten Land |
Water-Balloon Mouth is aMouthful Mode that involvesKirby filling himself with a large amount of water, distending his body like a water balloon (and even becoming translucent like one) and allowing him to spray the water from his mouth. Kirby can obtain this ability by finding a blue water pipe and putting his mouth on it. Doing so allows him to clean up patches of mud, toxic goop, or lava, which may uncover hidden items or cause platforms to rise and fall. This water can also be used to attack enemies, and is required to deflectRunaway Parade Cars or defeatPoison Croakoms andTwirling Star Rockets. Naturally, due to Kirby's inflated size, he becomes a bigger target and is unable to move much aside from wobble about and jump short distances. Eventually, Kirby will gradually shrink back down in size as he runs out of water to spray, with each fill giving him enough to spray for about 15 seconds continuously.

Trivia[edit]
- Water-Balloon Mouth Kirby's functionality is reminiscent ofPump Mario fromMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Both forms can be used to put out fires, water flowers, and deflect processions of mechanical hazards in order to solve puzzles.Superstar Saga is also referenced by aPresent Code in theWaddle Dee Cinema.
- If the attack button is pressed while next to a water pipe and Kirby hasn't run out of water, Kirby will spit out whatever water is still in his body and instantly refill back to full without further input.
