'''Stone''' ({{ja|ストーン|Sutōn}}, ''Stone''), is [[Kirby]]'s [[down special move]]. | '''Stone''' ({{ja|ストーン|Sutōn}}, ''Stone''), previously called '''Rock Shield''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', is [[Kirby]]'s [[down special move]]. Kirby transforms into a rock, becoming impervious to damage and knockback for a short time. Kirby can still be taken out of Stone form by grabs or grab-type moves such as [[Yoshi]]'s [[Egg Lay]] or [[Lucario]]'s [[Force Palm]]. To leave the transformation early, the player can press the B button while in rock form to return to normal, or wait approximately for 3 seconds after transforming. | ||
== | ==Description== | ||
Kirby | Offensively, Kirby can deal damage by using the move in midair and falling on opponents. When Stone is landed, it does excellent knockback, KOing most characters reliably under 150%; however, the move is rather situational as it is easily telegraphed and slow, making it a poor choice in most situations. Due to the sheer weight of Kirby in this form, he will slide off sloped surfaces. | ||
In the first two games, Stone does no damage at all if used on ground. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and onward, however, the attack produces somewhat unnoticeable [[sourspot]] hitboxes on Kirby's sides, dealing 14% damage with horizontal knockback. When Stone is used on the ground, Stone will always hit with this sourspot no matter where the opponent is, and Kirby solidifies several frames quicker to do it (compared to an air drop). | |||
Otherwise, all falling sweetspot versions of Stone deal 18% damage (20% in ''Smash 64''). | |||
In ''Brawl'', the move is more powerful than ''Melee'', and it pushes characters away, even if used from the ground. However, if Kirby is hit with an attack that causes at least 30% damage, he will receive full knockback from it, but no damage. | |||

In ''Melee'' and ''[[Brawl]]'', it has its design from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart 64}}'', and the first six ''[[mariowiki: Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games; in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the Thwomp has the original design introduced in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', used since ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. Wii}}''. | ||
==Glitch== | ==Glitch== | ||
In ''Brawl'', there exists a glitch known as the [[Earthquake Glitch]], which makes Kirby rapidly vibrate in place, producing hitboxes around him. This is achieved by using Stone on a downwards right facing platform that bends down at a 45° angle. It can be performed on both [[Stage Builder]] stages and the [[PictoChat]] stage, and while fighting [[Porky]] in [[Boss Battles]] mode, but it is generally attributed to PictoChat. | In ''Brawl'', there exists a glitch known as the [[Earthquake Glitch]], which makes Kirby rapidly vibrate in place, producing hitboxes around him.

==Origin== | |||
The move is one of Kirby's copy abilities that originated in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', behaving in much the same way. ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' introduced the detail of randomizing the transformations to various other types of objects, including a rarely seen golden statue of [[Mario]] or [[Samus]], as well as the mechanic of Kirby sliding across slopes while in this form. Unlike in the ''Smash'' series, Kirby's stone form has no time limit. | |||

# '''Meteor Stone''': | # '''Meteor Stone''': Takes longer to transform back, but foes will be [[meteor smash]]ed when hit. Kirby will also be popped a small distance upwards if he is on the ground and can't transform back as quickly as his other [[down special]]s, making the move risky off-stage. | ||

*In ''Brawl | *In ''Brawl'', it can be seen in [[Boss Battles Mode]] and [[SSE]] that Kirby never automatically turns back into his normal form while being in his Stone form in midair, or at least for a very long time. However, this has no practical use in normal play. | ||
**In ''Melee'', Kirby has a 3 second limit on Stone while in the air and it resets when he hits the ground. However, this is not usually encountered in normal play because Kirby will usually land or SD before the 3 seconds are up. | **In ''Melee'', Kirby has a 3 second limit on Stone while in the air and it resets when he hits the ground.
