It wasn't that spectacular of an ability. It's right up there with 'Ball' and 'Sleep'

if i had to guess, it's because Rolling Turtle is a really boring design compared to the other bosses.

Throw is still in the game man. Phan Phan gives it out now

Ball was a fun little ability to play around with, not sure why everybody hates it.

What? The ability is still in the game, they just replaced the miniboss that gives it.

I always felt uncomfortable when the turtle grabbed kirby. Made me feel like he was getting molested.

In Burgerland 'rolling turtle' is slang for dropping LSD and shooting heroin at the same time. Blame the War on Drugs for censoring videogames that were meant to be played by 10 year olds, you fucking manlet.

Because Nightmare in Dreamland came at the time Kirby Right Back at Ya! was running, and HAL decided to advertise the anime by bringing most bosses and enemies from the anime, such as Phan Phan.
