'''Stone''' is a [[Copy Ability]] which gives [[Kirby]] the ability to transform himself into a block or statue of hard stone, rendering himself invulnerable to most attacks but also typically unable to move aside from falling or sliding down slopes. This ability is primarily defensive in nature, though it does allow Kirby to land solid blows on foes if he falls on them from above, and also allows him to pound down [[stake]]s and break [[metal block]]s. Depending on the game, Stone Kirby may have other attacks or properties, such as being able to walk around slowly, having an "uppercut" punch attack, or creating a big shockwave upon landing. Many games give Kirby a variety of solid objects to turn into at random when he uses his Stone Change, some rarer than others and many being references to other characters or objects.

Stone first appeared in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', and is typically provided by [[Rocky]] or [[Blocky]]. Other rarer providers of the ability include [[Gansan]], [[Cairn]], [[Moundo]], [[Golem]], and [[Hack]]. Certain boss attacks, like those of [[Wham Bam Rock]], [[King Golem]], or [[Clanky Woods]], may also provide the ability.

==Overview==
[[File:KaTAM Cabbage Cavern Room 12.png|thumb|left|200px|Stone Kirby making use of one of his main emergent properties - the ability to roll down slopes - in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'']]
Stone is among the simplest and most straightforward of Kirby's Copy Abilities, though it has a lot of variants and emergent uses. In its simplest form, Kirby transforms into a solid immobile object which is affected only by gravity. In this state, Kirby becomes immune to all but the strongest enemy attacks, though this is counterbalanced by the fact that his movement options become extremely limited if not completely absent. Due to the amount of time it often takes for Kirby to use his Stone Change, whether turning into the stone or transforming back to normal, it is often impractical to use Stone offensively, particularly during boss fights. When transformed, Stone Kirby falls extremely quickly, which is useful for certain vertical stage sections, but Kirby should be careful not to fall too far in many places, as he might be lost to a [[bottomless pit]] before he can change back. Falling into a hazardous area like a [[spike]] pit can also be problematic, as Kirby is basically guaranteed to take a hit as soon as he transforms back. One other notable aspect of Stone Kirby in most of his appearances is his ability to slide down slopes, which can be used in many cases to travel quickly and safely through tight tunnels packed with enemies. Stone Kirby's heavy weight also allows him to quickly sink in water, pound [[Stake]]s, and break [[metal block]]s.

While the above describes Stone Kirby in most of his appearances, there are several games where there are notable differences in how the Stone ability functions. In Stone's debut in ''Kirby's Adventure'' (as well as the remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'') for instance, Kirby does not slide on slopes. In ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', Stone Kirby transforms into a full statue of himself that is still able to roll and walk around, but cannot jump. In ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', Stone Kirby is more of an offensive power, with the main attack coming from the big shockwave produced by the impact. Stone can also be readily combined with other powers or partners in the [[Shinichi Shimomura]]-directed games and in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', with the most notable example being the [[Curling]] transformation.

===''Kirby's Adventure'' / ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===
[[File:KA Stone icon.png|left|32px]]
[[File:KA Grape Garden Stage 6 screenshot 07.png|thumb|200px|Using Stone, Kirby can pound stakes to open up certain barriers.]]
Stone makes its debut along with the concept of [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] themselves in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. This game establishes Stone as an ability that causes Kirby to transform into a rock, and plummet downward, becoming all but invulnerable and dealing damage on impact. However, Stone Kirby's signature ability to slide down slopes is not present in this game, nor is it in the remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. Kirby also only has one form here, that being a pink-ish rock with a level bottom and two closed eyes on it. The ability is provided solely by [[Rocky]] or via a [[Mix]].

===''Kirby's Dream Course''===
Stone returns in ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'', where it functions similar to the [[Needle]] ability. When used, Stone causes Kirby to stop moving, and this can also be used in midair to force Kirby to fall straight down. However, if Kirby lands on a slope, he will slowly slide down it. The ability is obtained from [[Rocky]].

Notably, in the 2P Game, when Stone is used, it will be held during the opponent's turn, even if a different ability was acquired while using the Stone form. Additionally, while in Stone form, attacks from the other player can be resisted. Stone cannot be used to protect against hazards such as [[Gordo]]s, however.

===''Kirby's Dream Land 2''===
[[File:KDL2 Dark Castle 3-3.png|thumb|Kirby making use of the Stone and [[Rick]] combination in ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'']]
Stone returns as an ability in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', where it now gains the ability to roll quickly down slopes, a features that would persist for the remainder of the series (barring a few absences here and there). Stone can be obtained in this game via Rocky or the [[Mid-Boss]] [[Blocky]].

When on an [[Animal Friend]], Kirby can perform variations of the ability, as detailed in the following table:

{| class="wikitable" border=1 cellpadding=2
!Animal Friend

|[[Coo]]

|-
|[[Rick]]
|{{center|[[File:KDL2 Rick Stone sprite.png]]}}
|Kirby balances on top of Rick as the hamster turns into a rolling boulder, crushing all enemies in their path.
|}
Throughout ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'', there are specific blocks which can be broken only with the Stone ability. They are depicted as fragile-looking.

===''Kirby's Block Ball''===
{{Quote|The ball drops down, crushing the blocks below.|''Kirby's Block Ball'' North American instruction booklet}}
Stone appears as one of the four abilities in ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]'', obtainable from [[Rocky]] or an Ability Changer item. When Kirby uses this ability, he transforms into a stone and falls straight down, crushing lesser blocks along the way until he hits a harder object or the paddle. The [[Burning]] ability can be said to be the opposite of Stone in this game, since it travels straight up rather than straight down for the same effect.

===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
[[File:KSS Cocoa Cave screenshot 02.png|thumb|200px|''Kirby Super Star'' introduced randomized Stone transformations. In this case, Kirby transformed into the 8-ton weight.]]
In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', Stone can be obtained from [[Rocky]]s and the boulders appearing during the battle against [[Fatty Whale]] and [[Wham Bam Rock]]. Kirby's visual appearance changes by turning brown and wearing a helmet with a tail on top.

Upon using the ability, Kirby randomly turns into one of a wide variety of objects. In the original ''Kirby Super Star'', Kirby can turn into the default pink rock from ''Kirby's Adventure'', a star block, an eight-ton weight, a stone statue of himself, a Macho Statue, and rare gold statues of [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]] and [[metroidwiki:Samus Aran|Samus Aran]]; the remake adds [[wikipedia:Mount Fuji|Mount Fuji]], an iron fist, statues of [[Rick]], [[Kine]] and [[Coo]], a [[Thudd]], a [[mariowiki:Brick Block|Brick Block]], and the rare gold Dream Hatcher ([[HAL Laboratory]]'s logo). While transformed, Kirby is completely invincible, but cannot move unless sliding down a slope. Pressing the B button while in stone form returns Kirby to his usual self.

With the stone ability equipped, Kirby can create a Rocky as a [[helper]], which possesses the same skills as Stone Kirby does.

===''Kirby's Dream Land 3''===
[[File:KDL3 Sand Canyon Stage 3 screenshot 04.png|thumb|200px|Kirby and [[ChuChu]] combining for a Stone attack in ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'']]
Stone appears again in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', where it looks and functions much like in ''Kirby's Dream Land 2''. Rocky and Blocky once again provide the ability, along with a new enemy called [[Gansan]] as well as the club-wielding [[Bukiset]]. The inclusion of more animal friends gave more possibilities for combinations:

|}
Throughout ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'', there are specific blocks which can be broken only with the Stone ability. They are marked with the Stone icon on them.

===''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''===
[[File:K64 A Stone.png|thumb|100px|In ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'', Kirby's stone form is more mobile, since he keeps his limbs.]]
Stone appeared in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', where it took on a slightly different form. Here, instead of simply becoming a stone and falling, Kirby would turn into a rounded boulder, fall to the ground, then morph into a stone version of himself and start walking around. In this form, he was invulnerable, but could not jump, and would roll automatically down hills. Stone could additionally be combined with other abilities or itself to produce varying results.

Stone has a large number of providers in this game. Among them are Rocky, [[Cairn]], [[Hack]], and [[Pompey]].

===''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''===
Stone appears as an ability in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''. In this game, Kirby's Stone transformation resembles the rounder version in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', which rolls down slopes quickly. In addition, its color will change depending on the color of the [[Spray Paint]] that Kirby has. Stone can be obtained from [[Rocky]], [[Giant Rocky]] and [[Golem]].

The [[Smash Bros.|Smash]] ability can also use the Stone Change, which functions the same.

===''Kirby: Canvas Curse''===
Stone Kirby returns in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', once again provided by [[Rocky]]. In this appearance, Kirby transforms into a well-polished faceted stone gem and falls straight downward, defeating enemies and crushing metal blocks below. Stone Kirby cannot ride up a Rainbow Line while in Stone form. In addition, Stone Kirby will automatically sink in [[Water (environment)|water]], making the ability useful for traversing flooded areas.

=== ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' ===
[[File:KRtDL Raisin Ruins Stage 2-1.jpg|thumb|250px|Stone Kirby sliding down a slope in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.]]
After being absent from ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', Stone returns in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', where it can be obtained from Rocky and the [[Mid-Boss]] [[Moundo]] and has gained new moves that allow for it to be used in a more varied manner. Apart from the traditional power to turn to stone and slide down hills, Kirby may now transform into a bigger-than-normal statue and slam onto the ground with great force, as well as use a powerful low-range uppercut attack that knocks enemies into the air. The latter is also the first Stone move in the history of the series that does not transform Kirby's entire body. Stone Kirby gets a new hat starting in this game, which is a set of rocks on a purple, pink, and orange base with a pair of horns.

|}

====Stone sculpture forms====
Similar to ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|its remake]], Stone Kirby can transform into various sculptures, with greatly increased forms in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.

In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', a handful of Stone sculptures from ''Kirby Star Allies'' as well as two new sculptures referencing ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' and ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' can also appear among all of the sculptures found in the original, though the Mount Fuji and Rick, Kine, & Coo statues have been effectively replaced with their ''Kirby Star Allies'' equivalents.

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
Stone returns in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', bearing the same characteristics it had in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''. However, two notable changes were made. Firstly, Stone Uppercut was changed so that it can be charged to deal more damage. Secondly, if Kirby tries to dash while in Stone form, he will pivot in that form slightly. This can be done to change the angle from which the player can see the stone sculpture that Kirby changes into. This technique deals no damage, and is only there for cosmetic purposes.

Stone Kirby also appears as four [[keychain]]s, one using his sprite from ''Kirby's Adventure'', another showing him as the "Macho Statue" from ''Kirby Super Star'', the third showing his sprite from ''Kirby: Canvas Curse'', and the fourth showing him as the "Dream Hatcher" transformation from ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''.

Stone returns in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', retaining its essential functions from previous installments. It can also be used in a number of [[Friend Ability|Friend Abilities]]; most notably the varieties of [[Curling]] and [[Geokinesis]]. Rocky returns as the ability's main provider, and can be recruited as a [[Helper|friend]] with all of Stone Kirby's abilities.

===''Kirby's Dream Buffet''===
[[File:KDB Jelly Kirby demonstration screenshot 2.jpg|thumb|250px|Stone Kirby emanating a shockwave in ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'']]
Stone Kirby reappears in ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'' as a [[Copy Food]] ability, available only in [[Battle Royale (Kirby's Dream Buffet)|Battle Royale]] stages and activated by using the Stone Chocolate Copy Food. When activated, Kirby turns into a chocolate bar and pounds the ground, creating a shockwave that launches opponents into the air and knocks them back. If the player holds R while activating the ability, a bigger shockwave is produced. Despite Stone's usual reputation for being nearly invincible, Stone Kirby cannot resist another Kirby using [[Invincible Candy]] or being grabbed by the tongs.

Stone Kirby also appears in a more traditional form as a [[Character Treat]], depicting his [[sprite]] from ''Kirby's Adventure''.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
{{SmashWiki|Stone}}
In all of the installments of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, Kirby's down special move is the Stone ability, and behaves exactly as it does in ''Kirby's Adventure''. Starting with ''Melee'', Kirby transforms into various objects: the default pink rock, a 100-ton weight, a spiked ball, a [[mariowiki:Thwomp|Thwomp]] from the ''Mario'' universe, Lip's garbage block from ''[[nwiki:Panel de Pon|Panel de Pon]]'', and in ''Ultimate'', a Treasure Chest from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]''. There are a few key differences in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, however: Kirby can only remain in stone form for a short period of time, he is vulnerable to grabs, and he may still be harmed if he is hit by a powerful enough attack.

Two custom moves can also be used in place of the original once unlocked in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. The first, '''Grounding Stone''', has Kirby take a bit longer to transform before falling, but he can bury opponents into the ground when hit. The second, '''Meteor Stone''', can meteor smash opponents when hit, with Kirby taking longer to transform back to normal upon pressing the special attack button again or after a certain amount of time passes.

Stone Kirby makes a few appearances in the anime series ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', first appearing in the second episode, [[A Blockbuster Battle]]. In the anime, [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] gains a grayish coloration and hat similar to Stone's appearance in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. When Kirby transforms, he turns into a large, pink, blocky version of himself which is able to walk around, similar to how Stone functions in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. Even without being actively transformed, however, Stone Kirby still packs a wallop with body slam attacks, as he is much heavier than he normally is.

===''Kirby's Dream Course'' manual===
*''"This lets Kirby turn into a rock and immediately come to a full stop. If you use this power on a sloped surface, Kirby falls down the slope."''

===''Kirby's Block Ball'' manual===
*''"The ball drops down, crushing the blocks below."''

==Trivia==
*''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'' and ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'' are the only main-series games since the introduction of Copy Abilities in ''Kirby's Adventure'' that do not feature Stone in any capacity.
**''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' features an ability called [[Metal]], which behaves somewhat like Stone, but still allows Kirby to move and hover (very slowly), making it similar to Stone's incarnation in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''.
**The [[Cone Mouth]] [[Mouthful Mode]] in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' also behaves somewhat like Stone, though it limits Kirby's movement options.
*Originally, Kirby was going to be able to jump while transformed with this ability in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'', but it was changed before the game's final release for unknown reasons.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qf0pwsX73jw ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' Spaceworld 1999 trailer]</ref>
*While the Stone ability itself is absent in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'', [[Gooey]]'s moveset in that game includes the Stone Change move.
*In ''Kirby Super Star'' and its remake, when Kirby is using the Macho Statue Stone form, the statue will change its pose when it is sliding down slopes.
