Giant Claws[2] is a combo ability from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Kirby gets it by mixing Cutter with Needle. When used, Kirby's arms become pieces of a bear trap. It will close on any enemy that gets caught. Kirby will not be able to move until he releases the bear trap. This ability is useful in that Kirby can destroy enemies above him, especially ones stationed on platforms.
