—Yo-yo's Flavour Text, Kirby Super Star Ultra
The Yo-yo is a copy ability that Kirby can obtain in Kirby Super Star. Kirby must inhale and swallow Gim to obtain it. When Kirby becomes a Yo-Yo trick-master he wears a light blue cap (differencing from the Wheel ability's red cap) and wields a typical red and white Yo-Yo as his weapon.
[edit] Moves
Kirby combines break dance moves with Yo-Yo tricks as means of attack. His basic attack involves throwing his Yo-Yo as a projectile. He can also grab his enemies with his Yo-Yo, as well as preforming a spin jump with the help of his Yo-Yo. The Break Spin, which is the only break dancing move Kirby has ever used, was later used as his new dash attack in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, replacing his Burning inspired attack.
