Hazard

	Notice: It has been suggested that this page be merged with Device.
	Please discuss this on this page's talk page. Reason: Fundamentally the same. See talk page for more information.

A Hazard is any obstacle within a stage that either directly or indirectly harms or impedes Kirby or another playable character and cannot be classified as an enemy, a device, or part of the static terrain. Hazards may also affect enemies or other non-playable characters, but this is not a strict requirement to classify something as a hazard. Hazards serve primarily to add another element of challenge to gameplay and, when not meant to be avoided entirely, often require a certain set of techniques to overcome or take advantage of. Common examples of hazards in the Kirby series include spikes, crushers, and bottomless pits, but may also include non-damaging things such as wind and water currents (with water itself falling into a gray area and not considered a hazard for the purpose of this page). There are also a number of enemies that function more as stage hazards, such as Gordos, Squeaky Hammer Machines, and boulders, and those too will not be covered on this page.

List of hazards in the Kirby series[edit]

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

General hazards[edit]

Hazard	Appearance	First game	Latest game	Other games	Description	Notes
Bottomless pit		Kirby's Dream Land	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	All main-series games, Kirby's Dream Course, Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Kirby Air Ride, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby Mass Attack, Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition (New Challenge Stages), Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Kirby's Blowout Blast, Kirby Battle Royale, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, Kirby's Dream Buffet	A region considered "out of bounds"; bottomless pits may be marked as a black void or as a background of some kind, or they may simply be areas below where the camera scrolls. Entering this region typically defeats Kirby immediately, but other games may be more forgiving, returning Kirby to the field of play while imposing some lighter penalty.
Bumper[1]		Kirby's Pinball Land	Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	Kirby's Dream Course, Kirby's Block Ball, Kirby's Toy Box, Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Kirby Air Ride, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby Mass Attack, Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse	An object (usually round, bar-shaped, or triangular) that violently pushes Kirby away if he touches it, though usually without dealing him damage.	In Kirby's Block Ball, this object is referred to as a "Pinball Block".[2]
Crusher		Kirby's Adventure	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	Kirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby Super Star, Kirby's Dream Land 3, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby's Epic Yarn, 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's Extra Epic Yarn, Kirby and the Forgotten Land	Any hazard that causes two solid surfaces (or a solid surface and the edge of a scrolling screen) to come into contact, crushing anything caught in-between and defeating Kirby instantly. This is not to be confused with hazards that momentarily flatten Kirby, like the Squeaky Hammer Machines in the Kirby Fighters games.	The only games where crushers are not immediately fatal are Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
Lava		Kirby Super Star	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	Kirby's Dream Land 3, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Kirby Air Ride, Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby Mass Attack, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby Fighters Deluxe, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Kirby Star Allies, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, Kirby Fighters 2, Kirby and the Forgotten Land	Surfaces or fluids that are red hot and burn Kirby if he touches them under most circumstances. In some games, Kirby can ignore lava using Copy Abilities like Wheel and Water. In others, geysers of lava will erupt from lava beds to offer an additional obstacle.	Not to be confused with Fire Blocks, which serve a similar purpose but can be destroyed. Also does not count instances of lava that are purely decorational, such as the Volcano region in the Kirby Clash games. Objects that do not quite resemble lava but have the same effect (such as the fire boxes in Kirby Super Star) also fall under this category.
Spikes		Kirby's Dream Land	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	All main-series games, Kirby's Dream Course, 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 Battle Royale, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	Beds of sharp spikes that hurt Kirby on contact and immediately destroy any Ability Stars that touch them. Whether or not enemies are affected by spikes depends on the game.
Wind and water currents		Kirby's Adventure	Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	Kirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby Super Star, Kirby's Dream Land 3, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Kirby Air Ride, Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby's Epic Yarn, 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's Extra Epic Yarn, Kirby Fighters 2, Kirby and the Forgotten Land	Continuous gusts of wind or currents of flowing water that constantly push Kirby in a particular direction. These can vary in intensity, with some requiring significant speed to overcome, and others being so strong as to overcome all movement options.

Many of these have conjectural names, so official names will be noted as such using a reference:

Hazard	Appearance	Game(s)	Description	Notes
Air Curtain[3]		Kirby's Dream Course	A vent in the ground that releases a continuous stream of air upward, causing Kirby to fly upward when passing over it.
Bunker[4]		Kirby's Dream Course	A patch of rough sand that greatly impedes Kirby's momentum if he touches it.
Conveyor Belt[3]		Kirby's Dream Course	A floor-bound conveyor belt that moves Kirby in a given direction when he lands on it.	Does not include more generalized moving floors in other Kirby games.
Dash Panel[3]		Kirby's Dream Course, Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble	A floor-bound panel that forcibly accelerates Kirby in a given direction if he touches it.	Not to be confused with the objects of the same name in Kirby Air Ride, which functions more as a device. In Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, this object is called a "Blast Board"[5], and functions slightly differently.
Kick Panel[6]		Kirby's Dream Course	A circular panel with an arrow on it that seamlessly redirects Kirby's momentum in the direction indicated if he touches it.
Lawn[4]		Kirby's Dream Course	A patch of grass with arrows in it that indicate the direction it will gently push Kirby if he tries to roll through it.
Pond[4]		Kirby's Dream Course	A pool of water that will greatly hamper Kirby if he falls into it. The water can be drained by hitting the appropriate switch, or it can be momentarily frozen using the Freeze ability. The Wheel ability can also ride atop the water's surface, and Kirby can skip across the water with the right movement when not using an ability.
Trampoline[3]		Kirby's Dream Course	A green tarp spread across the floor that causes Kirby to bounce more forcefully if he lands on it from the air.

Obscuring clouds		Kirby's Dream Land 3	Clouds that rush past the screen in the foreground in some stages that obscure the player's view of the stage.	This is an example of a hazard that interacts with the fourth wall rather than the in-game characters.
Quicksand[7]		Kirby's Dream Land 3, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Kirby Air Ride, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	Sandy areas that make Kirby or other entities move forward or backward.

Quicksand[9]		Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby Mass Attack, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	Areas of sand that cause Kirby or other entities to slowly sink if they do not escape, which will almost always lead to a bottomless pit and/or directly defeat any entity that allows itself to sink or is unable to escape.	Not to be confused with the Quicksand in other games, that makes Kirby or other entities go forward or backwards.
Gyro spikes		Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble	Large spikes in the wall that retract or emerge depending on how the player tilts the Game Boy Color system.
Burning rail station		Kirby Air Ride	One of the events in City Trial involves each of the rail stations in the city catching fire for a short time. While they burn, any Kirbys that approach too close will take damage.
Fake Patch		Kirby Air Ride	During a specific event in City Trial, fake versions of patches appear which differ only slightly in appearance from the real ones. Running into these patches will usually damage the racer's machine and/or bestow some other negative effect, like falling asleep.
Falling pole[from internal data]		Kirby Air Ride, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	Standing structures in the background which attempt to fall on Kirby as he passes by, and deal him damage if they hit him and possibly also breaking blocks they fall on. In some cases, Kirby may need to cause these to fall manually by breaking a support structure near the bottom of the pillar.
Falls[10]		Kirby Air Ride	A waterfall near the top of the Water course in Top Ride mode. Entering it causes the racer to be rolled about for a moment before being spat out on the left side.
Flaming dragon[11]		Kirby Air Ride	A long dragon made of fire that regularly emerges from lava and makes an arc through the sky before diving back in again. Any racer who touches one will be burned and take damage. These can be found in Magma Flows and the volcano area in City Trial.
Gout of flame		Kirby Air Ride, Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	Areas where pillars of harmful flame shoot out in regular intervals. This can come from the surface of lava or from some other source.	In Kirby: Canvas Curse, this can also take the form of spitting fireballs. In Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, these can be extinguished using the Fire Engine transformation.
Laser[12]		Kirby Air Ride, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse	A continually firing laser that hurts Kirby if he touches it, but can be circumvented by various means.	Does not include the Security Laser enemy from Kirby: Planet Robobot.
Meteor[13]		Kirby Air Ride, Kirby Battle Royale	One of the events in City Trial involves giant meteors falling to the city and exploding. Touching the meteors during their descent or being caught in the impact explosion will deal damage. In Kirby Battle Royale, falling meteors appear in Crazy Theater.	Not to be confused with the Meteors in Kirby Star Allies or with volcanic rocks (seen below).
Tree bombs[14]		Kirby Air Ride	Bombs that grow and fall from springy trees in the Grass course in Top Ride. These bombs knock racers away when they explode.

Parachute bombs		Kirby: Canvas Curse	Bombs that slowly drift down with parachutes towards Kirby and will detonate on contact. They can be made to explode early by tapping them with the Nintendo DS stylus or drawing a line in their path.	The Mid-Boss Vividria paints these same bombs as one of her attacks.
Retractable spikes		Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby: Squeak Squad	Blocks or surfaces that shoot out and retract spikes on regular intervals or when triggered by a device such as a switch.
Spiky shutter		Kirby: Canvas Curse	A shutter gate with spikes on it, making it harmful to touch.

Touch spike bar		Kirby: Canvas Curse	A spinning spiky bar that can be momentarily stopped by tapping the button in its center with the Nintendo DS stylus.
Cactus		Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	A bulbous stationary spiky hazard that appears in most Off-Roader stages and hurts Kirby if he collides with it.	In the Frigid Fjords stage, ice spikes on the floor serve the same function.
Cannonball		Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	Large red cannonballs with stars on them that travel through the air in the Castle Dedede stage. Kirby can ride these as platforms as they travel, but he should take care not to come between one and another surface, as this will result in being crushed.
Curtain platform		Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	A platform consisting of a rolled-up curtain. Kirby can use it for a moment, but if he lingers for too long, it will slowly unfurl and no longer be able to support him. After a while, it will roll back up again.
Dust devil		Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	A small tornado that gently sweeps along in Pyramid Sands and can pick up things, including Kirby, items, and enemies. Entities picked up by a dust devil tend to be held in place unless they take action to escape.
Electric wire platform		Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	A cyan wire platform that is hazardous to touch while it is live and vibrating, but which can be momentarily turned off by pulling on its button. Others may form a loop with a slowly-traveling hazardous spark cycling around it.
Enemy patch		Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	A red patch with Yin-Yarn's face on it, from which enemies can continually emerge.
Flag platform		Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	A flag that acts as a platform and blows to the left or right with the wind.

Giant gelatin		Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	A giant gelatin cake that is produced and conveyed along conveyor belts in the Sweets Park stage. These can hurt Kirby if they land on him, but otherwise act as platforms. They can be destroyed by pounding them with the Weight.
Gout of frost		Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	Spewing cones of frost that periodically erupt from the walls in various places and will freeze Kirby on touch, though they don't necessarily hurt him.
Meteor shower		Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	A swarm of harmful meteors falls continuously in the Stellar Way and Outer Rings stages. Pulling certain patches momentarily transforms the meteors into a bead comet shower instead. Individual meteors can also be seen orbiting planets on traced-out paths. They are not affected by the Yarn Whip, but can be destroyed using shots from the Rocket transformation.
Sinking stalactite		Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	A big stalactite with a flat top that slowly passes through ceilings and floors, falling more quickly when it is completely separated. It will hurt Kirby if it lands on him from above, but he can use it as a platform after it falls.
Snowball		Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	In the Snowy Fields stage, Waddle Dees toss cotton snowballs that grow in size as they roll across the ground. If Kirby is hit by one, he will be trapped inside until the snowball breaks against a wall unless he wiggles out early, though he will not be harmed either way. He can run along the top of one to use it as a platform.
Spiky bar		Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe	A bar or cross-shaped spiky hazard that spins slowly in place.	In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, this role is taken by Gordo Bar.
Stone pillar		Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	A large wobbly stone pillar that serves as an obstacle in most of the Off-Roader stages. Crashing into it causes it to collapse, but hopping on top allows Kirby to use it as a platform. Kirby can bust through these without harm to himself if he uses a boost.
Swinging platform		Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	A platform tied to a ceiling using ropes, which swings from side to side based on how Kirby moves on them.	Other rope-bound platforms exist in other games, but do not have the same properties.

Sandstorm[16]		Kirby Mass Attack	A wave of sand that blows through the air at regular intervals. Any Kirbys caught in it will be swept away and take damage. Kirbys can power through sandstorms if they are under the effect of Jumbo Candy.	Passing sandstorms can also make certain items or objects appear.
Spiked ball[17]		Kirby Mass Attack	A red, green, or gray circular nut covered in spikes, which may be found rolling or bouncing on its own or as part of an enemy's arsenal. It is harmful on touch, though it may break under certain conditions.	Not to be confused with spiky boulders.
Volcanic rock[18]		Kirby Mass Attack, Kirby: Triple Deluxe	Slowly-falling rocks from the sky which can be broken by flinging Kirbys at them. Some of them yield fruit or more valuable items when broken (such rocks are marked with question marks). Some rocks have explosion symbols on them, and breaking them causes all other rocks on screen to break as well.
Whirling vortex[19]		Kirby Mass Attack	A localized spinning current of water that moves back and forth in underwater areas. Getting caught in one causes the Kirbys to be sucked in and then deposited in a different location, typically resulting in lost progress.

3D Securitron[24]		Kirby: Triple Deluxe	A square-shaped piston wall that shoots in from the background after flashing for a moment, making Kirby splat against the screen if it hits him. While it is extended, it can be used as a platform.
Rotating Spike Tree[25]		Kirby: Triple Deluxe	A tree in the background with spikes attached that is rotated by Waddle Dees, causing the bar to swing in and out of the playing field, hurting Kirby if it collides with him.
Advancing spiky wall		Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby and the Forgotten Land	A crushing-type hazard that moves inexorably in a single direction, bulldozing everything in its way and hurting Kirby on contact. It moves faster the further away Kirby is from it, and only starts moving when he is in the same plane as it.
Diamond Dust[26]		Kirby: Triple Deluxe	In Old Odyssey - Stage 5, thick clouds of pink diamond dust can be found which obscure the view of objects behind them. These can be inhaled using Hypernova.
Press Wall[27]		Kirby: Triple Deluxe	A crushing-type hazard that falls slowly toward Kirby from the background when he enters its range. Kirby can stand at the right location to pass through a hole in the wall as it comes down to get through unharmed. Once the wall comes down completely, the way forward opens.
Giant Bonfire[28]		Kirby: Triple Deluxe	A singular large hazard that appears in Fine Fields - Stage 2, which is fed by Waddle Dees in the foreground and background and is hazardous to touch. Kirby can remove this obstacle using the nearby Tilt Water Pot, and can uncover a Maxim Tomato in the process.
Spiky hoop		Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe	Floating spiky hoops which are harmful to touch from above or below, but can be passed through safely by swimming or jumping cleanly through the middle. Usually an item is tucked in the middle of the ring.

Using a Sizzle-based attack will thaw a frozen waterfall.	Not to be confused with water currents, which can look similar depending on the game.
3D holo-platform		Kirby: Planet Robobot	A digital platform that is conjured digitally in the background before launching into the foreground, similar to a 3D Securitron. However, these platforms mostly stay in place after launching forward.
Giant ice cream		Kirby: Planet Robobot	In Overload Ocean - Stage 4, Kirby has to avoid giant soft-serve ice cream cones that are created in the background and then fall forward at regular intervals. When they hit the stage, they splatter melted ice cream on the screen which partially obscures vision for a moment.
Rolling pillar		Kirby: Planet Robobot	A large rolling metal bar that spans both foreground and background, following the contours of both zones. It can be knocked back using attacks from the Robobot Armor to bust blocks and other obstacles.
Tilting flame spewer		Kirby: Planet Robobot	A drinking bird-like object that spews fire from its beak.

Flaming Log[34]		Kirby Star Allies, Kirby and the Forgotten Land	A perpetually burning log. It can be put out using anything that imparts Blizzard, Bluster, or Splash, and will fall if the surface beneath it is removed. Once put out, it can be destroyed with any attack.
Mega Blado[35]		Kirby Star Allies	A giant circular entity with spinning blades moving around it, found primarily in Nature's Navel.
Freezing water		Kirby and the Forgotten Land	Water which causes anything that enters to freeze solid and then sink, acting similarly to a bottomless pit.
Slippery surface[36]		Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Kirby's Dream Buffet	An area of floor that is extra slippery. These can be created by certain enemy attacks (namely Phantom King Dedede's first usage of the "End of Ice Age" attack).	Ice Kirby can skate on icy floors with no issue. Slippery surfaces have existed in previous Kirby games, but were generally less well-defined outside of specific cases such as ice blocks.
Lava ball[37]		Kirby and the Forgotten Land	A falling red-hot ball of lava that can deal damage on contact and bursts when it hits the ground. It may cause sections of the ground to sink when it collides with it. It can be destroyed using Water-Balloon Mouth to reveal items.
Lava puddle		Kirby and the Forgotten Land	A puddle of lava that will damage Kirby if he touches it. Certain enemies and items will also be destroyed if they touch it.

Certain enemies and items will also be destroyed if they touch it. It can be cleaned away using Water-Balloon Mouth, which may cause something to happen.	Ice Kirby can skate on toxic goop with no issue.
Trick painting		Kirby and the Forgotten Land	A large painting in Invasion at the House of Horrors made to resemble a path forward, but which falls over when approached, dealing damage if it connects and breaking on impact with the floor.
Whirlpool		Kirby and the Forgotten Land	A vortex of swirling water that either stays put or moves in a set pattern, causing entities nearby to swirl around it. Anything that gets drawn in too close will be pulled down into the center, functioning similarly to a bottomless pit in most cases.
