What does parasol Kirby do

Parasol Kirby is an ability from Kirby Super Star and it's remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra. It is obtained from the Parasol Waddle Dee and gives Kirby the ability to use a parasol for defense, offense and slow descent. Most of Parasol Kirby's abilities include thrusting his parasol in front of himself to attack foes with gusts of wind and direct contact. He can also lift foes with the parasol and juggle them above his head. In addition to this, the parasol is completely invincible, and will block many attacks, even fearsome fire attacks from fire bosses. The parasol ability is one of the only few abilities that can be used underwater.
