Beam Shoot
Fire a beam attack after swallowing the right enemy.
In Kirby's Dream Land 2, the Beam ability is one of the Copy Abilities Kirby can gain by swallowing certain enemies. When Kirby has the Beam ability, he can fire a beam attack. The exact mechanics of the Beam ability in this game are not detailed in the source, but the source confirms that Kirby can gain enemy powers by swallowing them, and that his current power is altered when riding an animal friend. For example, if Kirby has the Spark ability, riding on Rick changes it to the Beam attack from Kirby's Adventure. This indicates that the Beam ability exists in the game as a distinct power, though its specific behavior is not described in the provided text.

Reader's Guide
To acquire the Beam ability in Kirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby must swallow certain enemies, as the source states that 'when certain enemies are swallowed, Kirby will gain their ability.' The source does not specify which enemy grants the Beam ability. Once acquired, the Beam ability can be used in combat. The source notes that when Kirby is aided by an animal friend, his current power is altered. For example, if Kirby has the Spark ability, riding on Rick changes it to the Beam attack from Kirby's Adventure. This suggests that the Beam ability may interact with animal friends in a similar way, but the source does not provide details on how the Beam ability itself functions or how it is modified by each animal friend.
