| “ | Ooh, how pretty...ouch! And sharp! Release the button while rolling to launch spiky crystals in front of you. You'll also roll longer and leave spikes in your wake! | ” | — Figure description from Kirby and the Forgotten Land |
Crystal Needle is an Evolved Copy Ability based on Needle that appears in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. This ability gives Kirby a silver tiara with long pearlescent crystals embedded in it. Using Crystal Needle, Kirby can leave behind a trail of crystal spikes as he rolls along as well as being able to roll around for longer in general. When he retracts his crystals, he shoots one or more balls of crystals forward as projectiles.
The blueprint for Crystal Needle can be found in the stage The Wastes Where Life Began, located in a Treasure Chest atop the grounded ship in the first area. Crystal Needle is required to play the Treasure Road stage Rush and Roll! Falling Needle Road.
