'''Beetle''' is an ability which gives Kirby the horn and wings of a rhinoceros beetle. It is unique in the fact that after grabbing enemies, Kirby can still walk and jump, albeit more slowly and less high, respectively. Kirby also only faces one direction when carrying enemies, forcing him to walk backwards when moving in the opposite direction, although this has no effect on anything except the direction enemies are thrown. Another notable thing about this ability, is that it has the ability to pound down [[Post]]s with Hardhead Slam. The ability can only be obtained from the the enemy [[Beetley]], and the mid-boss [[Hornhead]]. It was introduced in [[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]] along with [[Bell]], [[Circus]], [[Archer]], and [[Hypernova]]. It later returned in [[Kirby Star Allies]] after being absent from [[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]. | '''Beetle''' is an ability which gives Kirby the horn and wings of a rhinoceros beetle.
