Poison focuses on creating toxic puddles and smog to deal damage. Poison can spit balls of poison that create toxic puddles on the ground, spew toxic clouds that can move in the wind, and use the poison in the hat to create a geyser. Poison can be obtained from the Venog and Dacooga enemies and the Miasmoros mid-boss.

Trivia[]

  • Poison features numerous parallels with the Water Copy Ability: Sticky Toxin and Wave Attack, Toxic Slide and Wave Surf, and Toxic Tower and Geyser.
  • One concept drawing of Poison's ability hat depicts Kirby donning a purple wizard hat with a wooden staff.[1] This might have been a nod to the character Garstein from Alcahest, an action RPG developed by HAL Laboratory. The relation between the Poison artwork and the character is that when Garstein joins the player, he talks about a cave being filled with poisonous gas.
