Weapons-Shop Waddle Dee:
With the Needle ability, you can extend your roll a bit by picking up enemies and blocks as you go. Let go of B to throw stuck objects and enemies in front of you as powerful projectiles! The Needle ability will also let you roll through strong winds. It's so versatile!

Trivia[edit]

  • This ability is reminiscent of the Needle-Needle Power Combo from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, which also involves lots of different pointy objects attached to Kirby.
  • In the parameter file for Blueprint hints, Clutter Needle is referred to as "BalloonfishNeedle" rather than its usual internal name "JunkNeedle" for one of the values, indicating that maybe in early development, it was instead based on a pufferfish.
