Burning (Copy Ability)

Burning is a Copy Ability that Kirby can use in the Kirby series that appears in Kirby's Adventure, its Game Boy Advance remake Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, and Kirby & the Amazing Mirror. Similar to the Fire ability, it allows Kirby to attack with fire by launching himself forward like a fireball. When Copy Abilities gained expanded movepools, Burning was absorbed as an attack of Fire.
==Description==
Burning Kirby's body changes from pink to red, and he also gains an orange crown with a large, red fire emblem at the front. Also, while moving, Kirby's hands will ablaze. The main attack of the ability allows Kirby to launch himself forward as a fireball, travelling in a straight line through the air at high speed. He will damage enemies he runs into, as well as light up fuses and burn ropes. If he hits a wall, Burning Kirby will bounce off of it and return to his normal form. He can use the move again shortly after though, allowing him to scale walls if the attack is performed quickly in succession. He can also use it multiple times before landing. As the series went on, the Burning ability was retired, with its attack now being part of Fire Kirby's moveset.
It would later appear in Kirby's Dream Buffet after a long absence, where he takes on the appearance of a red pepper. He is able to dash as a fireball like before, but can also angle what direction he moves as he flies. If he hits an opponent, they are launched into the air and knocked back. It can be attained by grabbing a Burning Pepper.
