If you DON'T want to know about me, skip to the next section. If you do, read on. My birthday is on Groundhog Day (February 2nd), and I'm 14, currently. Kirby's my favorite Nintendo character, and Sonic is my favorite Sega character. My favorite games are: Kirby's Air Ride, Kirby Superstar, and Kirby's Avalanche. I enjoy playing non-Kirby-based games, too, you know. That is all for now. More about me in the "Contact" section. ------------------------------- 2222222222222222222222222 2 About This Guide 2 2222222222222222222222222 This guide is not a walkthrough, but, instead, something I did because I got bored. This guide covers the explanations of Kirby's Abilities. Any questions? If so, you'll know how to ask me them without shouting across the country by reading the "Contact" section. The next part is "The Guide". The Key will be described there. ------------------------------- 3333333333333333333333333 3 The Guide 3 3333333333333333333333333 This is where you will find all the descriptions [of abilities] that are seen when the game is paused (most of the time). Key/Legend: ^ = D-pad Up v = D-pad Down < = D-pad Back/Left > = D-pad Forward/Right B = B Button A = A Button Y = Y Button X = X Button L = L Button R = R Button DS = Dash @ = Or Now that the Legend has been explained, we can get on with the guide, then our lives. Got the order? If you don't, well, you deal with it. *NOTE* To find the description of a certain ability, use CTRL+F and put the ability in. NOW I'm ready to start the descriptions... I guess. ----------------- DESCRIPTIONS ----------------- ** Using Copy ** Inhale an enemy by pushing Y and swallow it by pushing A. v If that enemy has an ability,you can use it!

As I said before, if you have ANY questions you want to ask me, you may contact me at k_kettley@hotmail.com, or, by means of MSN Messenger. I'm not always online, so you might try to contact me when I'm not there (btw, I'm Linkshot). Just email me if that happens, okay? I check it now and then. You may also contact me if you have any comments. Heck, you can contact me for anything, just don't spam me, because then my mailbox gets full, and others can't contact me. I don't check my mail unless I'm online, so, it's a better choice to just contact me through MSNIM. Okay? Sometimes you can find me on IRC under the nickname Fobby. When I'm on IRC, I'm on irc.dynastynet.net #melee,#earthbound. Don't contact me at #pkhax. People are working on discovering all there is to SNES Earthbound on that channel. Roughly 80% of the code has been decrypted. They even found a Kirby sprite near the end of the hex! Gotta love HAL, they're dedicated to making sure Kirby lives on. Um.. I've gotten off topic, so I'll just get to the FAQ. ------------------------------- 555555555 5 FAQ 5 555555555 (No comments) ------------------------------- 666666666666666 6 Guide Log 6 666666666666666 12.21.04: Started this guide. Got to... um... Wing, I think, before the stroke of midnight 12.22.04: This little slot is just the previous one up until 2:00 AM. Paint was the final one put in before I chose to get some sleep. 12.22.04: Current time: 1:29 PM <-- right when I typed it :P Completed the descriptions by adding Suplex & Mirror. 12.22.04: Current time: 1:40 PM. Found out that Shooting has a description. Added at 1:42 PM. Underestimated that. 1:46 PM. Sorry about that. 01.04.05: Current time: 5:53 PM. GameFAQs rejected first submission due to boxed content. I didn't know that wasn't allowed... it was supposed to be like on the game, though. Now it looks weird. But, acceptable, at least. ------------------------------- 77777777777777777 7 Conclusions 7 77777777777777777 This is the end!... the end of high curiosity! Behold! I found Paint's description! :P I'm not sure if I found all the descriptions, there's SO many abilities. Yes, I know there are a few typos, but that is the way it is in the game so *raspberry* to you. Cutter: "it's" should be "its"; There's another one, but I'm too lazy to seek it out. Finally, my comments to GameFAQs about this guide, Avalanche style. Ahem... Yes. Excellent! Watch out, Here it comes! Avalaaanche [of descriptions]! And, the finishing to blow to everybody: Bye!
