"Midair spins and shuttle loops! Spreads your wings and fly, little Kirby! Doesn't that feel good?"
—Wing's Flavour Text, Kirby Super Star Ultra

Wing is One of Kirby's Copy abilities.

While Kirby has always had the ability to fly, Wing allows him to fly at a much faster rate. It could be consider a more control-friendly version of Jet and Missile. Wing specializes in strengthening Kirby's in-air capabilities and long ranged attacks. Although attacks like Feather Gun can take on enemies from afar, they still lack power.

Wing utilities feathers and other such things as means of attacking. However, Kirby's new wings also allow for electricity-themed attacks that (oftentimes) can only be executed mid-air.

After a long hiatus, Wing returned alongside another Super Star ability, Plasma, in Kirby Air Ride. When gotten, Kirby loses his Air Ride Machine and instead flies along the track under his own power instead. He can go quite fast this way, but cannot charge up a boost. The Wing ability only lasts a few seconds in this game, however, Wing Kirby can perform a windy roll attack, a move identical to Meta Knight's spin attack.

[edit] Attacks and Features

Attack Name	Controls	Description	Element
Feather Gun	B/Y	Kirby shoots out multiple (but weak) feathers.	None
Condor Head	Dash + B/Y	Kirby dashes forward and headbutts enemies that get in his way.	None
Bomber Head	↓ + B/Y (Midair)	Kirby dives straight down, hurting enemies in midair. He lands headfirst and creates shock waves that deal even more damage to grounded enemies.	Electricity
Condor Dive	Dash, ↓ + B/Y (Midair)	Same as Bomber Head, except this move propels Kirby diagonally down instead of straight down.	Electricity
Toss	Up/Down/Forward + B/Y (Near enemy)	Kirby tosses the enemy & mid-bosses (with defeated). It does not do damage but rather sets up the enemy & mid-bosses for an attack.	None
Shuttle Loop	B/Y right after Toss	Kirby loops around the enemy mid-bosses right after tossing, hitting any enemies & mid-bosses that collide with him and defeating & mid-bosses the enemy. Meta Knight uses this same attack in Super Smash Brothers Brawl.	None
Flutter	A (Repeatedly)	Kirby flies. His wings do a tiny amount of damage to airborne enemies.	None
Gust Roll	← + →	Kirby does a barrel roll, spinning obstacles and racers out of control. This attack is exclusive to Kirby Air Ride.	None

[edit] Kirby: Right Back At Ya!

Only appearing once in the series, Wing gives Kirby unprecedented speed and maneuverability in the air. (Still slower than Jet of course, but easier to steer.) His main attack is Feather Gun, which shoots feathers to impale enemies.
