—Hi-Jump's Flavour Text, Kirby: Squeak Squad
Hi-Jump (also spelled High Jump) is one of Kirby's Copy abilities. It is a heroic ability that can currently only be gotten by eating a Starman.
Hi-Jump, unlike most abilities, is limited to only one function. All Kirby can do with this ability is spring high up into the air. Although it may not seem like the most practical ability, it can be used to score some fast hits on enemies, as well as breeze through the level with ease.
With this ability, Kirby wears a long red and blue cape and a small, gold, winged circlet. The cape draws inspiration from an average super hero, while the latter is derived from the headwear of the messenger of the Greek gods, Hermes.
It comes in very handy in fights against aerial bosses like Kracko or Mecha Kracko, but can still be used effectively on others as well.
[edit] Attacks and Features
| Attack Name | Controls | Description | Element |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leap | B | Kirby is propelled into the air, aided by a small explosion beneath his feet. This jump is sometimes very difficult to control. In some games he cannot leap while already airborne. In Squeak Squad it becomes more powerful and agile with the Copy Scroll, which projects a small blue force field around him while he is airborne. | None |
[edit] Trivia
- Strangely, Kirby's Hi-Jump, despite essentially being an extended jump, is activated by pressing a different button than his regular jump.
