- This article is about the enemy in Kirby's Epic Yarn. For the Waddle Dees in Kirby Battle Royale, see Soldier Waddle Dee.
The Soldiers are four different types of squarish humanoid enemies in Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn that wield several weapons. They mostly appear in Treat Land and are very similar to Mariners.
Types[edit]
| Soldier types in Kirby's (Extra) Epic Yarn | ||
|---|---|---|
| Type | Caption | Description |
 Sword Soldier |
"I bet this guy wouldn't be such a big shot without his sword!" | The Sword variation of the Soldiers yields a sword that, when provoked by Kirby or Prince Fluff, twirls his sword and charges forward, waving his sword around. Kirby can use his Yarn Whip to grab the sword and throw it back at the Sword Soldier, and any enemy or block behind it. |
 Spear Soldier |
"This soldier wields a spear... Do you think he gets paid more than the Sword Soldier?" | The Spear variation of the Soldiers has a long spear that he uses to run into Kirby and stab him, making him lose beads. Like the Sword Soldier, Kirby can grab the Spear Soldier's spear and throw it back. |
 Cannon Soldier |
"This soldier has a cannon, so you better look out! Those shots are dangerous!" | The Cannon variation of the Soldiers has a large cannon on his head that he can use to shoot the heroes. Unlike the previous two variations, the Cannon Soldier's projectiles can't be grabbed by the Yarn Whip. This soldier also cannot be disarmed. |
 Whistle Soldier |
"This soldier can call for help, so be sure to deal with him quickly!" | When a Whistle Soldier sees Kirby, he blows on his whistle and calls other types of Soldiers to come and help him. If there is a Whistle Soldier, Kirby has to dispose of him quickly or else there will be more trouble with other Soldiers. |
Locations[edit]
Soldiers can be found in the following levels and stages in Kirby's (Extra) Epic Yarn:
In the Kirby novel series[edit]
In the Kirby: Big Trouble in Patch Land! volume of the Kirby novel series, a Soldier appears, specifically a Spear Soldier. He first blocks Kirby and Prince Fluff from entering Stellar Way, but later changes his mind when he finally recognizes the two, in particular Fluff. He gives them a Metamortex for the Rocket Transformation; after Kirby transforms, he, with Fluff on top, flies to Stellar Way, bidding farewell to the Spear Soldier.
