Needle Cutter (also called Giant Claws[1] or Snare[2]) is a Power Combo from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Kirby gets it by mixing Needle and Cutter. 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 trap. This ability is useful in that Kirby can destroy enemies above him, especially ones stationed on platforms.
