Games[]

Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[]

Flare Beam allows Kirby to guide a giant ball of electricity around to defeat enemies, destroy obstacles, and solve puzzles that require electric power. It features a hat much like the regular Beam hat, only larger, and the wand is larger with a red orb at the end. Flare Beam is obtained from Super Waddle Doo.

Flare Beam appears in three of the game's normal stages.

  • In Stage 2 of Raisin Ruins, Flare Beam is used to destroy the many Moai Blocks in the ruins. One statue is facing the wrong way, and destroying it reveals the stage's dimensional rift leading to Another Dimension.
  • In Stage 2 of Nutty Noon, Flare Beam is used to power the Beam Lamps in the tower. Powering the lamps for the smile reveals the stage's dimensional rift.
  • In Stage 3 of Egg Engines, Flame Beam is used to power Beam Lamps and destroy Drill Machines. Powering the lamps that move outward and inward will causes the floor to lower and reveal the stage's dimension rift.

Additionally, in Main Mode during the fight against Magolor, when his health is nearly depleted, he will construct a Magic Barrier that can only be destroyed with Super Abilities. After the first two pieces are destroyed using Monster Flame, Magolor will dispel Kirby's ability and summon three enemies, one of which is a Super Waddle Doo. Using Flare Beam, Kirby can destroy two more pieces of the Magic Barrier; after destroying the third piece, however, the player(s) have to endure a Black Hole attack.

After Magolor is defeated using Ultra Sword, he reveals another form. In the second phase of this fight, he can use Flare Beam; Magolor surrounds himself in electricity and then bounces around the screen briefly before flying into the background and then charging at Kirby. When used by Magolor Soul, a second ball of electricity is created that moves in the opposite direction of him; both Magolor Soul and this second ball of electricity charge from the background as well. In the True Arena of Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Magolor Soul summons an additional ball of electricity.
