Pair a Needle with a Bomb to make Kirby explode with spiky shrapnel. Use the Control Pad to position the floating explosive.
— Description • Nintendo Power (Volume #134)

Needle Bomb (also called Spike Bomb[1] or Exploding Gordo[2]) is a Power Combo used in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, made by mixing the Needle and Bomb abilities. Taking the form of a Gordo, Kirby gains temporary hovering and invincibility for a short time. As he moves, his spikes "wobble." After the duration ends, upon coming into contact with enemies, or if the B button is pressed again, Kirby explodes, sending spikes in every direction. This attack method is similar to Captain Stitch's attack, which involves him launching his spikes at Kirby in a bunch.
