'''Stone''' ({{ja|ストーン|Sutōn}}, ''Stone''), is [[Kirby]]'s [[down special move]].

==Overview==
Kirby transforms into a rock, becoming impervious to damage and knockback for a short time, and quickly falls straight down. Kirby can still be knocked out of Stone form by [[grab]]s or grab-type moves such as [[Yoshi]]'s [[Egg Lay]] or [[Lucario]]'s [[Force Palm]]. The transformation lasts for approximately 3 seconds, but the player can press the special button to end it early. While in this form, he will slide down sloped surfaces.

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 highly telegraphed and slow, making it a poor choice in most situations.

In the first two games, Stone does no damage at all if used on the ground. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and onward, however, the attack produces a shockwave on Kirby's sides, dealing 14% damage with horizontal knockback. When Stone is used on the ground, Stone will only hit with the shockwave no matter where the opponent is, but Kirby solidifies many frames quicker (compared to an air drop). Otherwise, all falling sweetspot versions of Stone deal 18% damage (except in ''[[Smash 64]]'' where it deals 20%).

In ''Brawl'', the move is more powerful than in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and it pushes characters away from Kirby while active, even if used from the ground.

In ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'', if Kirby takes 38% or more total damage while in Stone form, he will return to his normal form and the deciding move will launch Kirby, dealing the remainder of the move's damage with knockback accordingly. For example, if Kirby has taken 36% total damage in Stone form and is hit with a 5% damage move, his Stone form will break and he will receive 3% damage with reduced knockback. In ''Brawl'', the damage resistance was reduced to 30%, and Kirby receives full knockback from the deciding move, but no damage. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the damage resistance was reduced to 25%, with the deciding move dealing half damage, but still full knockback. His [[custom move]] versions of Stone absorb less damage.

==Appearance==
In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Kirby can only transform into one type of stone, the original Stone debuting in ''Kirby's Adventure''. Since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', however, Kirby will randomly transform into one of the following objects, all having the same properties:

*The pink stone that Kirby normally turns into in his games. ''Super Smash Bros.'' made the stone form an original orange color instead of the usual pink.
*A spiked ball.
*A 100 ton weight, similar to the 8 ton weight from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''.
*[[Lip]]'s garbage block from {{uv|Panel de Pon}}. The size Kirby uses in this form doesn't match any of the possible sizes the garbage blocks could have in ''Panel de Pon'', and the block being pink instead of the original dark red color.
*A [[Thwomp]]. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', it has its design from ''{{iw|supermariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'', ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart 64}}'', and the first six ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Party|series}}'' games; in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Thwomp has the original design introduced in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', used since ''{{iw|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros.}}''
*Exclusive to ''Ultimate'', a {{iw|zeldawiki|Treasure Chest}} from {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} series. It uses the design from {{iw|zeldawiki|Ancient Shrine}}s in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild}}''.

==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.

==Customization==
Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the variations:
{{CustomSet|Kirby|Down|name1=Stone|desc1-ntsc=Turn into a heavy object and plummet. You'll take no damage while transformed.|desc1-pal=Turns you into a heavy object that drops to the ground. You take no damage while transformed.|name2=Grounding Stone|desc2-ntsc=Takes longer to transform, but you can bury opponents.|desc2-pal=Takes longer to transform, but can bury opponents.|name3=Meteor Stone|desc3=Has a meteor effect on foes you hit while falling, but it takes longer to transform back.}}
# '''Stone''': Default.
# '''Grounding Stone''': [[Bury]] opponents upon landing, but takes longer to transform. Using the move on the ground won't bury foes at all. {{Main|Kirby (SSB4)/Down special/Custom 1}}
# '''Meteor Stone''': 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 to normal as quickly as his other down specials. {{Main|Kirby (SSB4)/Down special/Custom 2}}

==Origin==
[[File:KA Stone Screenshot.png|thumb|The Stone ability, as seen in ''Kirby's Adventure''.]]
{{iw|wikirby|Stone}} is one of [[Kirby]]'s Copy Abilities that originated in ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby's Adventure}}'', behaving in much the same way. ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby Super Star}}'' introduced the detail of randomizing the transformations to various other types of objects, including a rare golden statue of [[Mario]] or [[Samus]], as well as the mechanic of Kirby sliding down slopes while in this form. Kirby can attack while sliding down slopes in Stone form, but he cannot do this in ''[[Smash Bros.]]'' There are other minor differences between the way Stone functions in the {{uv|Kirby}} games and in ''Smash Bros.'': in the ''Kirby'' games Kirby can stay in Stone form indefinitely and cannot be knocked out of it through regular means; in ''Smash Bros.'' Kirby can only stay in Stone form for a limited amount of time, and can be knocked out of it with grabs or sufficient damage.

==Trivia==
*In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', it can be seen in [[Boss Battles Mode]], [[SSE]] and via an exploit that enables infinite height that Kirby never automatically turns back into his normal form while being in his Stone form in midair. 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.
*If a cinematic Final Smash is used on Kirby in Stone form, it will not work.
*If it triggers [[Witch Time]], the clock is invisible until Kirby changes back.
