Gim is a robotic foe. It's body is entirely mechanical, featuring a tinted lens for an eye and exhaust pipes rising from its back. It wears a blue cap with a yellow brim and has red, metal feet. It has a retractable arm with a white glove on the end. It also carries around a yo-yo, which it can surprisingly use as a dangerous weapon. Upon being eaten, Gim yields the Yo-Yo ability. It is also the Helper for the ability.
In Kirby Super Star Ultra, a card of him appears in the minigame Kirby Card Swipe. Gim's card features his enemy coloration.

[edit] Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra
Gim appears as a regular enemy appearing mainly in industrialized and mechanical areas. It slowly makes its way across the ground and tries to damage Kirby with his little red yo-yo when he gets into range. He serves as both the supplier and helper to the Yo-Yo ability in both games. Gim is capable of using all of the attacks in Yo-Yo Kirby's arsenal.
In Helper to Hero, Gim is playable. This version of Gim features purple feet, a red lens, and a light red hat.
[edit] Trivia
- Gim's feet resemble Sonic the Hedgehog's shoes.
- Even though Gim has one eye, when he turns around, it "switches" sides of his body. This is due to sprite mirroring, a technique used by the game-designers to use up less data.
