Games

So far, Animal Kirby has appeared in only one game.

Kirby Squeak Squad

Animal Kirby attacks with his long, blade-like claws. He has a basic rapid slash attack, or can do a flying leap to latch onto an enemy's face and repeatedly attack.

His claws can also be used to dig in any direction through soft earth, which is required in some levels of the game to find treasure or to proceed through a level.

With the right Copy Scroll, he gains the ability to fire himself forward or down, spinning like a drill.
