Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards/Abilities

This page shows all of Kirby's abilities. They are in alphabetical order starting with single abilities and then showing power combos. Remember that the order you got the power in doesn't matter, so fire+stone is the same thing as stone+fire.

Single Abilities
bomb As the name implies, you throw bombs. Hold and release the B button at different times to control the angle of the bomb.

cutter A part of you flies off into a deadly boomerang killing all it touches. You cannot float while the boomerang is seperated from you.

fire You turn into a ball of fire and travel for a little bit. You cannot control when you stop.

ice You spin in a circle, spewing out frosty breath that instantly turns your foe into ice cubes.

needle you turn into a ball of spikes, goring all who come into contact with you.

spark You surround yourself with a forcefield of electricity, frying enemies who touch you. You can walk with the forcefield, but slowly, and the forcefield gets smaller. You cannot jump.

stone You turn to stone, becoming an unstoppable juggernaut, but you can't jump while in rock form.

Power Combos
bomb+bomb You gain the ability to shoot missle from your mouth. You shoot one to three, depending on when you release the B button, and they have limited homing capabilities.

bomb+cutter You gain the ability to throw exploding shurikens. They disappear after thrown, then reappear on the first enemy or obstacle in a straight line from where you threw it. The enemy stays immobile for a second, then afterwards explodes.

bomb+fire You turn into a living firecracker, destroying enemies with your explosion. Pressing B up to three times in succesion will cause you to will cause your explosion to get bigger and launch you higher.

bomb+ice You stick a bomb and hat on your head, then cover yourself in ice, becoming a snowman. You walk around and can jump, but not float, until either time runs out, or you run into an enemy. Then you explode destroying the enemy you hit, and freezing any others near you into ice cubes.

bomb+needle You turn into a creature sort of like a Gordo, and float around until the time runs out or you release the B button, after which you spray your needles in all directions.

bomb+spark You turn into a lightbulb, illuminating dark places and frying any enemy you touch. After a certain amount of time passes, you explode, destroying anything near you.

bomb+stone You throw a stick of dynamite, which explodes after a period of time or when it touches an enemy, damaging anything in a large blast radius, including you. If you hit down on the control pad and the B button at the same time, you will pull out a hard hat, protecting you, but be aware that you have to be on the ground to do this.

cutter+cutter Same as the cutter ability, except you throw and even bigger boomerang with spikes on the edges.

cutter+fire You regurgitate a flaming sword. You can press B to swing the sword, or up on the control pad to raise the sword up in the air. If you press B while you're doing this, you will throw the sword whichever way you are facing.

cutter+ice You don a pair of ice skates, skating across the ground. Press A to jump and spin in the air, killing enemies, and press B to quit skating.

cutter+needle Your stubby pink arms grow into massive claws topped with spikes. Hold B to extend your arms and release it to bring them both up.

cutter+spark You wield a double-ended beam sword. Press B to swing it around, and press down on the control pad to put the sword away.

cutter+stone You randomly turn into one of a variety of different statues with different abilities. The cat can jump three times. The weird blob thing with the bow can jump, but can't walk. The hamster can jump, and, if you keep holding the control pad in the direction of a wall as you're facing it, you can keep jumping up it and climb it indefinitely. the owl can slowly fly for a short period of time. The bird can fly faster than the owl, but has tendency to roll when it lands. Neither the bird nor owl can walk. The fish can change direction. It can't even move or jump, not even in water.

fire+fire You turn into a blazing arrow, traveling farther than one fire alone.

fire+ice You cover yourself in an ice cube, then shoot fire in both directions, which cirles around, burning enemies and melting the ice cube.

fire+needle You turn into a bow with a single flaming arrow. The longer you hold B, the higher your angle will be. Release B to fire the arrow.

fire+spark You rub your head with a sheet of metal until it catches on fire, then charge uncontrollably for a period of time. During this time, you can change direction and jump, but you can't stop moving or float. You must hold B until your head catches on fire for this power to work.

fire+stone You turn into a small volcano, spewing lava rocks upward for as long as you hold B. You can hold the left or right button on the control pad to shoot rock in the respective directions.

ice+ice You roll around, gathering snow, turning into a large snowball. Any enemy you run over gets trapped in the snowball until you crash, and then the snowball breaks and all trapped enemies die.

ice+needle You turn into a slowly expanding snowflake. Any enemy that touches the snowflake freezes into an ice cube.

ice+spark You turn into a living refridgerator for as long as you hold B. You can shoot food, which will destroy any enemy it strikes, but will restore one health when you grab it yourself.

ice+stone You turn into something resembling a curling puck, sliding along the ground until you stop or press B again. any enemy you run into will turn into an ice cube.

needle+needle You turn into a larger ball of several pointy objects, also goring any enemies the objects touch, just like the single needle ability.

needle+spark You turn into a lightning rod, electrocuting any enemy standing above you.

needle+stone Your right arm turns into a large drill for as long as you hold B. Releasing B causes the drill to carry on without you.

stone+stone You turn into a giant rock kirby.
