Air Drop: Difference between revisions

'''Air Drop''' is an attack associated primarily with the [[Ninja]] ability. It is performable in every [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] game that features [[Ninja]] as an ability, and can also be used by enemy [[Bio Spark]] and [[Moonja]] when they grab Kirby or another playable character. [[Smash|Smash Bros.]] Kirby can also use Air Drop in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''.

In the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' games, [[Kirby]] and [[Meta Knight]] can use this technique as their upward-throw after grabbing an opponent (Kirby's forward throw in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''). This move varies in launch power between titles, but it is often the strongest throw in either character's arsenal in terms of damage and knockback. Unlike in the ''Kirby'' series, this move will transport both user and opponent to whichever [[Fall-through Platform]] may be above them.

*As its Japanese name suggests, Air Drop is inspried by '''{{furi|飯綱|いづな}}{{furi|落|お}}とし''' (''Izuna Drop''): a fictional ninjutsu attack from the manga ''[[wikipedia:Kamui (manga series)|Kamui Gaiden]]'', which is well known as the signature move of the protagonist Kamui. This attack has since become a common homage in Japanese works, Ninja Kirby being one of them.
