The Parasol | The Parasol appears as an [[item]]. It is a poor throwing weapon, as it will open shortly after being thrown, making it drift slowly towards the opponent, but it travels extremely far when thrown up or down as it doesn't open. | ||
The Parasol can be used not only as a weapon, but also as a personal parachute, reminiscent of the parasol from the [[Kirby (universe)|Kirby series]]. The Parasol will automatically open if the player holding it is falling through the air, even after a third jump, greatly aiding horizontal recovery. In order to fall normally, the player must press Down on the Control Stick. Pressing upwards will re-open the Parasol, which will cancel the [[helplessness|helpless]] state; this is the only item (or mechanic in general, aside from [[Princess Peach]]'s [[Peach Parasol|own parasol]]) capable of doing so. | The Parasol can be used not only as a weapon, but also as a personal parachute, reminiscent of the parasol from the [[Kirby (universe)|Kirby series]].
