Pipe Mouth

“ | Kirby gained the mysterious Mouthful Mode ability after he flew through that vortex... Now he can stuff an entire pipe into his mouth! Get a good forward roll going, and nothing can stop you...assuming you time your jumps over gaps well, that is. | ” | — Figure description from Kirby and the Forgotten Land |
Pipe Mouth is a Mouthful Mode that involves Kirby wrapping himself around a big metal pipe in order to take control of it, allowing him to roll rapidly down slopes, defeating enemies and breaking all obstacles along the way. While Kirby is using this mode, he cannot control the direction or speed at which he moves. Instead, all he can do is jump at opportune times to avoid falling into pits or otherwise not going where he needs to. Pipe Mouth is used to break through fragile walls, typically to uncover a hidden chamber and save a Waddle Dee.
Much like Coaster Mouth, Kirby is unable to spit out the pipe until he reaches the end of the "track" and hits an unbreakable wall, flattening the pipe and forcing Kirby to spit it out in order to progress.
