“ | Ring dong, ding dong! It's a golden bell. Shake it, and a strange tone issues forth. Talk about stunning conclusion--get a load of the Ding Finale! | ” | — Triple Deluxe" quote |
Bell is an ability that gives Kirby a large bell hat with a large pink star on the front and blue ribbon tied to the handle, and two large handbells to use a weapons.
This ability mainly creates large damaging sound waves, but the bells can also be thrown to deal damage. The ability also gives Kirby a more powerful block, in which he hides inside the bell. If enemies attack him while he is hiding, sound waves will be sent out. This ability can be used underwater.
This ability can only be obtained by the enemy Ringle. It was first introduced in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, along with Beetle, Circus, Archer, and Hypernova, and has so far only appeared in that game and its Sub-Game upgrade spin-off, Kirby Fighters Deluxe.
