Blockin

Blockin In-game sprite of Blockin from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror Details First game Kirby & The Amazing Mirror Latest game Kirby Squeak Squad Copy Ability N/A Similar entities Scarfy, Blucko

Blockin is a relatively uncommon enemy which disguises itself as a Star Block until disturbed. It debuted in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, and has since only appeared in Kirby Squeak Squad, where it served the exact same function. Blucko cannot be inhaled, but it can be defeated using any other means.

Appearance and behaviTemplate:Or

When hidden, Blockin is indistinguishable from a regular Star Block. It usually hides in a formation with actual Star Blocks, though often strategically placed to get in Kirby's way. It will remain hidden until Kirby either attacks it or attempts to inhale it. If Blockin survives this initial encounter, it will reveal its face, as the star on its front-facing side is replaced with a set of dour eyes with a heavy brow, a grimacing mouth, and no nose.

Once revealed, Blockin will attempt to fly after Kirby in a similar manner to a Scarfy, as it continuously opens and closes its mouth. If it manages to bump into Kirby, it will deal him damage and then revert back to its Star Block form. If on the other hand it cannot hit Kirby during this time, Blockin will self-destruct after a few seconds. Blockin is incapable of harming Kirby while it is disguised, and can even be stood upon without issue.

One easy way to tell a Blockin apart from surrounding Star Blocks is the fact that it will reappear after it is 'broken' if Kirby wanders far enough away and then comes back, whereas normal Star Blocks will not.

Trivia

• In Kirby Squeak Squad, When killed without revealing them (such as attacks that kill Blockin with one hit), they die and leave an invisible solid block for a few seconds, probably because of a glitch on its solid interaction doesn't disappear the instant they die.
  • Additionally, if Kirby is positioned on the left side or right side of Blockin before revealing them, their sprites will x-flip to face at Kirby (to distinguish their symmetrical flip, there is a dot on the top left or right corners of him).
