This is the actual flavor text for the Tornado ability given in three of the Kirby games, and that is simply magnificent. Most of Kirby’s powers have roughly seven pages worth of individual techniques at your disposal. This is particularly impressive when you consider that the wing ability is just giving you fifty different things to do as a birdie. Ironically, it’s more text than you could fit in a tweet, so that’s nice.
By comparison, Tornado isn’t nearly so robust, consisting primarily of spinning in circles to create a whirlwind effect, or sending tiny little cyclones out as projectiles. Despite this, it will require some effort to actually get the hang of being the lord of the wind, because as you can probably appreciate, embodying a literal tornado is somewhat chaotic. But once you’ve worked it out, you’ll find yourself coming back to it again and again. Needless to say, it works fantastically for an aerial offensive, and it looks just plain zany, to boot.
