Weight (also known as2 Ton Kirby[1]) is atransformation usable by bothKirby andPrince Fluff inKirby's Epic Yarn andKirby's Extra Epic Yarn. It is one of the only two transformations that is performed in midair, the other beingparachute. It is very similar to theStoneability from earlierKirby games.
As directly stated by its name, Weight changes Kirby or Prince Fluff into the shape of a weight, making them heavier. The player can use the move in most situations, by pressing down while in midair. Like the Stone ability, the weight can damage enemies by simply dropping onto them. The weight can easily crush Cloth Blocks, but unlike the Stone ability, Kirby reverts to normal a short moment after landing. Being a weight does not make Kirby and Prince Fluff invincible, which means that they still losebeads from hitting into certain enemies such asGordos.
InMysterious UFO andMoon Base, which are set in low gravity, the Weight transformation is mostly ineffective except for being an anchor for Kirby and Prince Fluff. When the gravity is low, the weight falls slower and cannot damage enemies or breakblocks.
