(PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION!)

U.F.O. is among the small handful of Copy Abilities that Kirby can't use in this game's Boss Endurance without relying on a Mix roulette between two.

I had to use Codebreaker codes to force U.F.O. Kirby into this mode, anyway. However, when it's enabled, the graphics for the ability's form won't load for Kirby, but you can still move and shoot as if he is a U.F.O.. However, he'll use his normal sprites and animations in place, which makes him look really goofy. 0:08 - 0:11.

If you drop an ability star and gain a new one, the old one will instantly vanish. If you do this while a Codebreaker Ability Modifier code is on, the star Kirby leaves behind him will instantly disappear and keep doing so every time you hit the Select button, because this modifier code keeps Kirby's ability permanently "equipped", even when it doesn't look like he has one.

To fix this, first enable the code. When Kirby's shown onscreen in Boss Endurance, disable the code, then you can drop the ability star AND change Kirby back to Normal. Then you can re-inhale the star like normal, causing Kirby to properly become U.F.O. Kirby with all of his correct sprites for it.

If you're using a VisualBoyAdvance emulator to play this game, here's the Codebreaker codes to make this all work:

--------------

U.F.O. is a very unique Copy Ability that not to common to find, both in this game, and in the Kirby series in general. It literally transforms Kirby into his own U.F.O.

U.F.O. always comes with 4 different attacks, and all of them can be used depending on how long you hold the B Button.

--------------

Unique Moves for U.F.O. Kirby:

All-Range Flight: Control Pad in any direction.
U.F.O. Beam: Tap B
U.F.O. Laser: Hold B for a moment then release.
U.F.O. Blast: Hold B for a longer time, then release.
U.F.O. Super Blast: Hold B until Kirby clicks, then release.
- Laser will ricochet off slopes and angled walls.
- Can light fuses.
- Can break through gray blocks.
- Can be used underwater.

The Beam attack from this ability isn't much different from the one you can get from the actual Beam ability. As such, it can zap the Mega Titan for damage without slamming him into one of the electric walls of his stage first.

I must note that since Kirby is flying the whole time in this form, it disables his ability to drop through soft platforms. So in some cases of this, you might have to leave the U.F.O. behind.

That Super Blast can make mincemeat out of many of this game's bosses, including the final ones!
