Beam

"Conjure up rays of electricity to flail around. Charge up to shoot from a distance!"

- KGGS Pause screen description

Beam (ビーム, Bīmu) is Copy Ability originating in Kirby's Adventure. It is a long-range Copy Ability that grants Kirby the power to perform many attacks, like swinging his rod in a whip-like fashion. It also allows him to hit objects out of Kirby's reach and destroy Beam-specific Ability Blocks. When obtained, Kirby dons a jester hat with the left side being red and the right side being orange with star patterns. Its main provider is Waddle Doo.

A more powerful Flux version of the ability exists, called Mystic Beam.

Kirby Gamble Galaxy Stories
Beam is the first Copy Ability that can be obtained in Kirby Gamble Galaxy Stories, as Waddle Doo is also the first enemy encountered in the game's first level, Green Greens. It is also found in Egg Garden, the Halberd, Asteroid Fields and Magolor's Lor Starcutter.

Moveset
Being a long-range Copy Ability, Beam relies on far-away attacks.
