Kirby's down special move is named '''[[Stone]]''', where Kirby transforms into a rock (an ability from most [[Kirby (universe)|''Kirby'' games]]) and becomes impervious to damage and knockback outside of [[grab]]s for the entire move's duration (exactly like a [[shield]]). While in stone form, Kirby can't move or attack until he reverts back to normal. Either simply waiting three seconds or pressing the [[B button]] will cause Kirby to revert back to normal. If the move is used in midair, Kirby will fall to the ground quickly; if Kirby lands on a sloped surface (such as the left side of [[Hyrule Castle]]) during the move or uses the move while standing on a sloped surface, he will slide down it. The Level 9 AI frequently does this move near this ledge, leading to [[SD]]ing very commonly. | Kirby's down special move is named '''[[Stone]]''', where Kirby transforms into a rock (an ability from most [[Kirby (universe)|''Kirby'' games]]) and becomes impervious to damage and knockback outside of [[grab]]s for the entire move's duration (exactly like a [[shield]]), or until he has taken at least 38% damage in total.

The move can't be used offensively while grounded, being unable to hit opponents unless Kirby uses it in the air and hits an opponent while falling. When he does however, it does 20% damage and great vertical knockback. The move is rather useful for countering [[juggling]] from opponents, especially air juggling, as the strong vertical knockback of the move can easily KO unwary opponents, or even more competent opponents if [[mindgame|used unexpectedly]]. However, the slow [[startup]] makes it a bit less effective. Additionally, if Kirby lands and misses the opponent, the move has very high [[ending lag]], even if immediately cancelled, being very easily [[punish]]ed by almost any move. | The move can't be used offensively while grounded, being unable to hit opponents unless Kirby uses it in the air and hits an opponent while falling.
