Device

It has been requested that this article or section be rewritten for the following reason(s): This page needs a revamp in general to check for omissions, objects here listed incorrectly, and in general use more official sources as a base; in particular, needs to be better categorized.

Device (also referred to as a Puzzle or a Gimmick) refers to any interactable object in a stage that is not an enemy, item, or hazard (though variants of more common devices may be hazardous), nor is it part of the static terrain, and which cannot be picked up or collected. Common examples of devices include things like blocks, switches, and cannons. In the Kirby series, devices are a mainstay of most games (particularly those of the main series), and are often found within levels and stages themselves, usually as optional content. They are typically the building blocks of puzzle-based challenges, and interacting with them in specific ways (such as using a certain Copy Ability or activating them in a specific order) will reward the player's character in some manner. Interacting with devices in this way forms part of the core content of most Kirby titles (with the other parts mainly focused on battling enemies and exploring areas).

List of devices in the Kirby series[edit]

The following is a list of every distinct device throughout the Kirby series. The first table covers devices that span numerous games and may have a large number of variants, while the second will detail more specific devices that belong to relatively few games, if not appearing in only one game. Note that devices which appear only in Sub-Games will not be listed here:

General devices[edit]

Object	Appearance	First game	Latest game	Other games	Description	Notes
Big Switch		Kirby's Adventure	Kirby Star Allies	Kirby Super Star, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby Mass Attack, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Kirby: Planet Robobot	These extra large switches are often hidden in secret places. Pressing them refills Kirby's stamina and can also cause something elsewhere in the game to be unlocked, or make special items appear. In Dededetour! and Meta Knightmare Returns, Big Switches are used to save the game's progress.	Not to be confused with smaller switches, detailed below.
Blocks		Kirby's Dream Land	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	All main-series games, Kirby's Block Ball, Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby Mass Attack, Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition (New Challenge Stages), Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Kirby's Blowout Blast	Blocks act as some of the most basic and numerous objects in the Kirby series, and come in lots of different varieties. Common examples include Star Blocks, Bomb Blocks, metal blocks, and elemental blocks such as Fire and Ice blocks. Each of these has a different effect or property, and different requirements to remove them.	Due to the sheer number of block variants, more details should be sought out on the Block page, as they will not be listed here.
Cannon		Kirby's Adventure	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	Kirby's Pinball Land, Kirby Super Star, Kirby's Dream Land 3, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Kirby Air Ride, Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby Star Allies, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Kirby's Dream Buffet	Characters can hop into cannons to be fired around either within an area or to new areas. Cannons take on a wide range of looks and functions, with some acting automatically, some rotating rapidly, and others being attached to fuses. Cannons may also appear in the form of creatures such as Zebon.	Cannons also serve several purposes outside of puzzles, such as in Goal Games.
Containers		Kirby Air Ride	Kirby's Dream Buffet	Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby Fighters Deluxe, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby Star Allies, Kirby Fighters 2, Kirby and the Forgotten Land	A box, barrel, or other type of storage unit that can be broken to reveal items.
Copy Essence		Kirby Super Star	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby Star Allies, Kirby and the Forgotten Land	These are pedestals which contain the essence of a Copy Ability. Kirby will automatically gain the ability of the essence he touches, and a Helper will automatically transform into a different one based on the essence touched. This can be helpful or harmful depending on circumstances. In Kirby Super Star and its remake, there is also a variety in Milky Way Wishes called Copy Essence Deluxe, which permanently gives Kirby an ability when touched. In Kirby: Planet Robobot and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, a variety called a Random Copy Essence cycles through a roulette similar to Mix; in the latter game, Random Copy Essences can be carried as Souvenir Items.	Copy Essences are sometimes classified as items by instruction booklets.
Door		Kirby's Dream Land	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	All main-series games, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby Mass Attack, Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition (New Challenge Stages), Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	While most of the time, doors are simply the means by which Kirby and other characters travel from one area to the next, there are many instances where doors are treated as objects that can be manipulated or used in puzzles. Examples include many of the goal doors in Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Kirby: Planet Robobot, which can be freed from enemies, attached to other devices, or even inhaled by Kirby and spat out again. These sort of interactions distinctly break the fourth wall.
Fuse		Kirby's Adventure	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	Kirby Super Star, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby Star Allies, Kirby and the Forgotten Land	Fuses are long coils of rope usually attached to cannons. One end of the fuse sticks out and can be ignited using any heat-based Copy Ability. Once lit, the character in question will have to get to the attached cannon or other object to interact with it before the fuse burns out. Otherwise, they will have to try again.
Gate		Kirby Super Star	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition (New Challenge Stages), Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby Star Allies, Kirby and the Forgotten Land	Gates are thin barriers which can expand or retract in response to another object or to proximity. They are typically placed in tight passageways to restrict access, but may also be placed horizontally to act as retractable platforms or hatches. Some gates require keys to open.
Ladder		Kirby's Adventure	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	Kirby Super Star, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby Star Allies, Kirby and the Forgotten Land	A common device in stage topography. Kirby can mount a ladder and then climb up and down it quickly. In later games, he can climb ladders while carrying items.
Rope		Kirby Super Star	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition (New Challenge Stages), Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby Star Allies, Kirby and the Forgotten Land	Ropes (and chains) can often be found hanging from ceilings holding up platforms or other objects, such as Tilt Rope Weights or Bolt Catapults. They can be cut using a suitable slicing attack to drop the object it is holding up. Ropes come in many varieties and sizes, with some requiring stronger attacks or specific combinations.
Spring		Kirby Super Star	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, Kirby's Dream Buffet	These devices are typically used to bounce Kirby or another character upward with high force. They can be either a benefit or detriment depending on where/how they are placed.	The game list here excludes more specific or atypical examples of springs from other games.
Stake		Kirby's Adventure	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	Kirby Super Star, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition (New Challenge Stages), Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby Star Allies, Kirby and the Forgotten Land	Stakes are a special form of switch which can only be pressed down by a heavy attack, such as Stone or Hammer. Once pressed, stakes do not depress in most cases. There are a few variants of stakes, including extra large ones, wall-mounted ones, and ones that require an electric attack to pound.
Switch		Kirby's Dream Course	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	Kirby Super Star, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Kirby Air Ride, Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby Mass Attack, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition (New Challenge Stages), Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby Star Allies, Kirby and the Forgotten Land	These are small objects found on floors, walls, or ceilings which are pressed by contact or by an attack to cause something to happen. Switches come in many looks and functions, but typically resemble rounded buttons. When pressed, they can either disappear, depress after a set time, or depress after another switch is pressed.	Due to the large number of switch variants, more details should be sought out on the switch page, as they will not be listed here.
Warp Star		Kirby's Dream Land	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	Kirby's Adventure, Kirby's Pinball Land, Kirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby Super Star, Kirby's Dream Land 3, Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby Mass Attack, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition (New Challenge Stages), Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby's Blowout Blast, Kirby Battle Royale, Kirby and the Forgotten Land	One of the most iconic devices in the series, the Warp Star will take anyone who rides it to a new land, often in a flashy cutscene. Kirby makes frequent use of it to travel to new areas, though gameplay-wise, it is little different from a door.	Games where Warp Stars are only seen in cutscenes or are otherwise not interacted with by the player are omitted. The Warpstar Air Ride Machine is also omitted.

Fuse detonator		Kirby Super Star, Kirby Super Star Ultra	A detonator box with fire insignia on it attached to a fuse. This can be activated by touching it, lighting the fuse without the need for a fire-based attack, though these do not always end up having a useful effect.
Climbing rope		Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards	A rope, vine, wire, or chain that Kirby can climb up or slide down on. Tapping left or right will make Kirby switch sides. Some of these will move, and others may spawn Bivolts that travel along their length.
Waddle Dee's vehicles		Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards	In certain stages, Waddle Dee shows up with a method of transportation and has Kirby hop in. This takes the form of a wooden box boat in Aqua Star - Stage 2, a mine cart in Neo Star - Stage 2, and a sled in Shiver Star - Stage 1. Despite the differing appearances, all of these act the same way, going down a pre-set path on their own. Pressing A will cause the vehicle to jump, allowing Kirby and Waddle Dee to avoid obstacles.

Breakable objects		Kirby Air Ride	Various objects in Kirby Air Ride (particularly in City Trial) can be broken by ramming into them or hitting them with some other attack. Some objects break immediately, while others may take several hits and show progressive signs of wear as they take damage. Examples include breakable walls in Checker Knights, the gear walls in the METAL course in Top Ride, and the dilapidated houses in City Trial. Two objects in particular - the Star Pole and huge pillar in City Trial - drop items when they are broken.
Copy Chance Wheel[15]		Kirby Air Ride	A panel with a big question mark floating over it. If Kirby passes over it on his Air Ride Machine, a Mix roulette will start.
Dash Panel[15]		Kirby Air Ride, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby's Dream Buffet	A floor panel that momentarily boosts the speed of Kirby or an Air Ride Machine riding upon them.	Also referred to as "Boost Panels". Dash Panels also appear in Kirby's Dream Course and Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, but there act as hazards rather than devices.
Dash Ring[16]		Kirby Air Ride, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse	A golden floating ring found in the air. Flying through it gives the user a significant speed boost in their given travel direction.
Ferris Wheel[15]		Kirby Air Ride	A large Ferris wheel made of plant material that acts as part of the topography of Beanstalk Park and can ferry racers to a different part of the raceway when they touch one of its cars.	The waterwheel in City Trial also acts like the Ferris Wheel.

Cup launcher		Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse	A small cup-shaped object that throws Kirby in a given direction when he touches it. These are often seen chained together like Cannons, but do not provide Kirby with invincibility while being thrown, nor do they make him bust through blocks.

Lantern[18]		Kirby: Canvas Curse	A hanging lantern that glows green in dark areas and can be activated to temporarily light up the area.

It can be steered left or right by positioning the Kirbys toward the appropriate side of the basket, and balloons can be lost if they hit hazards in the sky. If all balloons are lost, the Kirbys will plummet to their doom.
Brazier		Kirby Mass Attack	These can be found in stages with torches, and can be lit by them in order to melt certain obstacles and provide a fire to re-light doused torches.	There are also pyres which behave a similar way, and from which torches can be obtained.
Bubble[23]		Kirby Mass Attack	Large soap bubbles that contain various things, including fruit, air bubbles, bombs, medals, and even hints. Grabbing one with a Kirby will allow him to pop it to get the item inside.	Bubbles previously appeared in Kirby: Squeak Squad, but as items rather than devices.
Container[23]		Kirby Mass Attack	During the second and third phases of the boss fight against Skullord, the Kirbys are given a large stone bowl which they can use to catch the boss's projectiles and toss them aside.

Jerkweed[24]		Kirby Mass Attack	A long vine with a handle-like end that can be latched onto and pulled by the Kirbys for varying effects. Some Jerkweeds may grow thorns, making them hazardous to touch.
Kirby spaceship		Kirby Mass Attack	In Volcano Valley - Stage 10, the Kirbys reassemble a spaceship by collecting up to 8 missing blueprint pieces. The number of blueprints collected determines the starting health of the ship once it launches. Once inside the ship, the Kirbys can attack opponents by firing three laser cannons, activated by hitting switches inside the ship. If the ship takes too many hits, it will be destroyed, taking all the Kirbys with it.	Saved blueprints remain collected when replaying the stage.
Portrait[23]		Kirby Mass Attack	Large portraits can be found in Dedede Resort - Stage 10 and Volcano Valley - Stage 10, which can be pulled down to reveal items and objects behind them. Some of the portraits have eyes that track the Kirbys' movement.

See-saw		Kirby Mass Attack	A platform on a pivot that swings up and down based on the weight of what's on top. Anything caught on the underside of the swinging see-saw will be damaged, and anything on top can be flung off when the see-saw is knocked violently on one side.	In later stages, there are platforms that pivot in 90 degree intervals on the same principle.
Shell[23]		Kirby Mass Attack, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse	A large clam shell that can typically be found in underwater places. Hitting the shell will cause it to open, revealing items, air bubbles, doorways, or enemies.	These are also referred to as "clams".
Spiderweb[23]		Kirby Mass Attack	Large webs which contain silk bundles. Pulling on these bundles will yield items, but will attract the attention of any nearby Spideroos.
Spinwheel Flower[23]		Kirby Mass Attack	A tall flower with spinning petals. The Kirbys can pull these petals off to reveal varying things, including fruit, medals, or Snoozroots. Some petals may be hazardous to touch.

Teetering Tree[23]		Kirby Mass Attack	In Dedede Resort - Stage 11, the Kirbys need to climb a large tree tower from the inside, all the while positioning themselves in order to prevent the tree from swaying too far to the left or right. Rhino Beetles on the tree will fly away if the tree is close to collapsing, which will immediately do all the Kirbys in if it happens.	In Volcano Valley - Stage 8, a nearly identical object must be traversed called the Skull Tower.
Trees		Kirby Mass Attack	Stationary roadblocks which are mostly gnawed away at the base of the trunk, and can be pushed aside with repeated body slams. Each slam can drop fruit from the tree's canopy.	Not to be confused with the many relatives of Whispy Woods in Kirby Mass Attack.

Edge cases and other such objects[edit]

The following is a brief list of objects that may be considered devices under certain circumstances, but which have been omitted from the above lists, along with a brief explanation for the omission:

• Goal Game objects - some of these make use of devices, but Goal Games are typically considered to be separate from main gameplay.
• thin floor - can sometimes be seen as a "feature" of a stage, but is more often simply treated as part of the terrain.
• Bumper - more often than not used as a hazard to avoid rather than a device to utilize.
• Most obstacles in Kirby's Dream Course - typically employed as hazards rather than devices.
• Kirby's Animal Friends - functionally speaking, the Animal Friends act like devices in a similar manner to Air Ride Machines and the Robobot Armor. However, they are treated more like characters than objects, and in some cases are independently playable.
• Objects in Kirby's Toy Box - while many of these could qualify as devices, this set of games operates more like sub-games than main games.
• Boost Pads and Blast Boards in Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble - these are listed under "Course Features" in the instruction booklet, but tend to act more like hazards than devices.
• Treasure Chests - these are sometimes listed as devices in instruction booklets, but are more often treated as items.
• Laser - this is listed as a device in the Kirby: Canvas Curse instruction booklet, but is treated as a hazard in-game.
• Furniture - many of these can be interacted with in a similar manner to regular devices, but they are not used in main gameplay, nor are they involved in any puzzles.
• Stomper Boot - this blurs the line somewhat between an item and a device, since Kirby rides in it rather than carrying it, but it still has the same basic properties as other items in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.
• Key - keys are listed under "Devices" in the Kirby and the Rainbow Curse digital manual, but they act more like items in the game, and are carry items in most other Kirby games.
