Weight[1](also known as 2 Ton Kirby[2]) is a new ability usable by Kirby and Prince Fluff in Kirby's Epic Yarn. The ability itself is Kirby turning into a heavier version of himself and plummeting down. This ability acts very much like the Stone power from previous games - but instead of turning into a rock, a weight. Weight can damage foes similarly to how Stone can, by simply dropping on top of enemies. It can also break Cloth Blocks,[3] but unlike Stone, Kirby will revert to normal when a few seconds after he lands. The ability is utilized by Kirby and Prince Fluff anytime, by pressing down twice in midair. However, Kirby and Prince Fluff are not invincible when they use it and they still lose beads when they come in contact with certain enemies (Gordos for example). Parachute and Weight are the only transformations undergone from jumping actions.

Note: In Moon Base of Space Land, when the gravity is turned on, the Weight has no effects on anything, excluding acting as an anchor for Kirby and Prince Fluff.
