Ayarn ball^[1] (also referred to as aball of yarn^[2]) is an object that can be created by rolling up an enemy or object using theYarn Whip inKirby's Epic Yarn andKirby's Extra Epic Yarn. After obtaining a yarn ball,Kirby orPrince Fluff can then toss it in any given direction to attack other enemies or break blocks, including cloth blocks and enemies that cannot be affected directly by the Yarn Whip. They can also be placed down on the ground and picked up again later. Using yarn balls is the primary means of attackingbosses in the game.

InKirby's Extra Epic Yarn, yarn balls can be created using theKnitting NeedlesRavel Ability. When wrapping up an enemy on top of using this ability, extra large yarn balls are created which can pass through enemies when thrown.

Types of yarn balls[edit]

There are several different types of yarn balls, which are made from certain types of enemies. These are as follows (note that names are conjectural):

• Regular: a standard circular yarn ball that can be tossed to defeat enemies, similar to aStar Bullet.
• Arrow: a triangular projectile that passes through enemies it hits.
• Homing: a winged yarn ball that chases after enemies it is thrown toward. Some of these can split into three projectiles when thrown.
• Bomb: a yarn ball with a fuse that can be tossed forward in an arc. It does not explode on impact, instead exploding when its fuse burns through. This type can only be created by wrapping upBomber.
• Wheel: resembles a regular yarn ball until thrown, where it rolls across the ground until hitting its target. If thrown upward, it will travel forward in an arc then fall to the ground. This type can only be created by wrapping upShelby.
• Light: a yarn ball that dispels darkness around it. This type can only be created by wrapping upStogue.
• Giant: a yarn ball made by transforming an enemy into a yarn ball while also using theKnitting Needles ability, resulting in a larger projectile that can pass through enemies.
