Transformer

Transformer is an enemy in Kirby's Dream Course. It only exists in the multiplayer mode of the game. Transformer is a unique character because it can grant Kirby multiple different Copy Abilities, a role that would later be used by Bukiset. Transformers are tall can-like enemies with red lids with faces, blue shoes, and cylindrical, slot machine-like bodies with a green "?" in front.

History
In Kirby's Dream Course, Transformer sits immobile in one position. If Kirby bumps into it, he will acquire a random ability, although it can also cause a Kirby to lose his ability. It can provide every ability in Kirby's Dream Course. The possible abilities include Burning, Freeze, Hi-Jump, Needle, Parasol, Spark, Stone, Tornado, UFO, and Wheel.
