Games
Kirby & the Amazing Mirror
Droppy waddles forward in a straight path. If it makes contact with a Kirby who possesses a ability, it inhales the power right from them. If this power has a regular enemy to represent it, Droppy transforms into that foe with a different color palette. It behaves, from this point on, as if it were that enemy. If there is no compatible enemy, Droppy holds the ability star in its mouth and turns furious. It flashes red and dashes about quickly while puffing out steam. Examples of non-transforming abilities include those acquired only from mini-boss, Master, and Parasol. If Droppy has stolen an ability, eating it will return that power.
Droppy displays an advanced awareness of its surroundings. It continues walking as normal until it comes upon a ledge or wall. When confronted with a ledge, it makes a short hop and swells up with air, much like the pink puff does. It then slowly drifts down to the ground where it deflates. If a wall is in its path, it jumps up high and sucks in air as mentioned before. If the wall is short and there is no ceiling, Droppy floats up onto the next level. Otherwise, it turns around and returns to the ground to march in the new direction.
Unlike most normal enemies, Droppy does not respawn in a room where it original appeared once defeated. It only comes back if the room is exited and re-entered.
Wiz can release a Droppy from his hat at times. This version, however, does not behave as a normal Droppy. It will not steal abilities or inflate and jump. It only walks back and forth.
