Yo-Yo (also called Yo-yo and Yoyo in Template:KSS KFP) is an ability that can be obtained by inhaling Gim. It debuted in [[Kirby Super Star|Template:KSS KFP]] and likewise, it was also a part of its remake Kirby Super Star Ultra. The ability allows Kirby to ultiliTemplate:Ze a bright red yo-yo to smack around enemies from a safe distance, comparable to the Beam or Whip ability. The yo-yo can also pass through walls and floors, making it useful for activating switches or solving puzzles.
Kirby can also obtain the Yo-Yo ability through Copy Essences Deluxe. With the yo-yo equipped, Kirby can create Gim as a Helper. In Template:KSS KFP, Kirby is outfitted with a backwards ball cap when he acquires this ability. In Star Allies, this outfit also comes with a band-aid on Kirby's right cheek.

Trivia
- Kirby's backwards cap is more than likely a reference to Earthbound. In the game, the yo-yo is a weapon several characters can equip, and the main character, Ness, wears a similar backwards cap. HAL had also done some work on Earthbound as well. This reference would carry forward in proper fashion with the ESP ability.
- Kirby's Yo-yo hat in Template:KSS KFP is a recolTemplate:Or of the Wheel and Paint ability hats.
- Oddly enough, this ability could be obtained by inhaling one of the Combo Cannon's cannonballs. This was changed in Kirby Super Star Ultra, where instead Kirby receives the Bomb ability from them.
- Break Spin is Kirby's dash attack in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. Kirby does not use the yo-yo for this move, however.
