[edit] Common Gameplay Elements

Kirby can run and jump like in most platform games, but the series differs in that he can inhale enemies and objects into his mouth which can then either be spit out as a star to attack more enemies or eaten sometimes allowing Kirby to use the abilities of the enemy he has eaten. He can also fly anytime he wants (more enemies are put in the air to balance this).
