'''Kirby''' is an inhabitant of [[wikirby:Popstar|Planet Popstar]] and the protagonist of the {{iw|wikirby|Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series}}. He lives in the kingdom of {{iw|wikirby|Dream Land}}, which is ruled by the series' main antagonist (but also often an ally), {{iw|wikirby|King Dedede}}. On his adventures, he runs into many other characters, such as the shady [[wikirby:Meta Knight|Meta Knight]], or the helpful and friendly {{iw|wikirby|Bandana Waddle Dee}}. Kirby defeats his foes by using his signature ability, inhaling items and enemies and spitting them out or copying their [[wikirby:Copy Ability|abilities]].


'''Kirby''' is a [[wikirby:Kirby (species)|Kirby]] from the planet [[wikirby:Pop_Star|Pop Star]] and the protagonist of the [[wikirby:Kirby_(series)|''Kirby'' series]]. He lives in a country called [[Dream Land]], which is ruled by the corrupt [[King Dedede]]. The self-proclaimed king frequently causes trouble, leaving it to Kirby to protect his homeland. On his adventures, he runs into many other characters, such as the shady [[Meta Knight]]. Kirby defeats Dedede and his many minions by his signature ability, inhaling items and enemies and spitting them out or copying their [[wikirby:Copy_Ability|abilities]].
Aside from some cameos, Kirby has rarely appeared alongside [[Mario]] in either of their series aside from a few issues of the [[Club Nintendo (German magazine)|German ''Club Nintendo'' magazine]] and, most notably, in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' titles]]–all of which are directed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]], the creator of the ''Kirby'' series. He is voiced by {{iw|wikirby|Makiko Ohmoto}}.

===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:Kirby SuperMarioKun.png|thumb|left|Kirby's first appearance in the ''Super Mario'' franchise.]]
Kirby's first appearance in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] is in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 5|volume 5]] of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. When [[Mario]] and his friends are being chased by [[Boo]]s, Mario notices a circular character that he mistakes for another Boo. This character turns out to be Kirby, who helps Mario and his allies by swallowing the enemies. Kirby, however, seems to realize that he is not on [[Game Boy]], and runs off. Kirby makes subsequent cameos in later volumes, such as in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 7|volume 7]] when he shows up to inhale a [[collector]]'s stolen goods.


While aside from some cameos Kirby has not appeared alongside Mario in either series' canon, they appear together in a few issues of the ''[[Club Nintendo]]'' magazine and, most notably, in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'']] series.

Kirby made his first ''Mario''-relevant appearances in the German ''[[Club Nintendo]]'' comics. He was one of the few non-''Mario'' characters to appear there recurringly.
[[File:KirbyCN.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.55|Kirby in the form of a "surprise bomb."]]
Kirby appears in "[[Super Mario: Mario im Wunderland]]" as a protagonist. [[Mario]] goes to [[Wunderland]] by accident, which is a strange land where a wizard, whose name is [[Crab (character)|Crab]] is said to be able to fulfill desires. Among others, Mario meets Kirby in Wunderland, and mistakes him for a pillow. This annoys Kirby, and since he says he wants to look like [[Mega Man]], he joins Mario on his way to the wizard. When arriving there, however, Kirby just says that he would like to not be a pillow any longer. The wizard then turns him into a toaster.


===="Super Mario: Mario im Wunderland"====
Kirby appears in "[[Warios Weihnachtsmärchen]]" as a major character. He is caged in [[Wario]]'s [[Warios Bombenladen|bomb shop]] for unknown reasons and expresses his anger by commanding Wario to free him. The shopkeeper, however, paints him black and sells him as a "surprise bomb." When the buyer, [[Kid Klown]], finds out about Kirby being the "surprise", both are angry at Wario. At the end of the story, they forgive him, as he gives some cookies to them.
Kirby debuted in the comic "[[Super Mario: Mario im Wunderland]]." In this comic, [[Mario]] gets to [[Wunderland]] by accident, which is a strange land where a wizard, whose name is [[Crab (character)|Crab]] is said to be able to fulfill desires. Among others, Mario meets Kirby in Wonderland, and mistakes him for a pillow. This annoys Kirby, and since he says he wants to look like [[Mega Man]], he joins Mario on his way to the wizard. When arriving there, however, Kirby just says that he would like to not be a pillow any longer. The wizard then turns him into a toaster.


===="Warios Weihnachtsmärchen"====
Kirby appears in "[[Super Mario in Die Nacht des Grauens]]" as Mario's ally in the fight against [[Abigor]]. In this story, Kirby lives in a [[Wolkenkratzer|skyscraper]] together with several other [[Nintendo]] characters. In order to fight Abigor, who plans to take over the building, Kirby together with Mario and [[Link]] puts on some magic clothes and serums which turn them into aggressive ghostbusters. In this form, Kirby uses his [[Inhale]] and temporary fire breath abilities to fight Abigor's allies.

===="Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All"====
===New Famicom commercial===
Kirby's latest relevant, yet very minor ''Club Nintendo'' appearance was in the comic "[[Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All]]." Kirby was one of the many characters to celebrate the Mario Brothers when they managed to find the then new [[Nintendo 64]] first, before [[Bowser]] and Wario.

===''Mario Kirby Meisaku Video''===
Kirby appeared alongside Mario in the obscure educational video ''[[Mario Kirby Meisaku Video]]''; however, this video was merely a compilation of their non-intertwining adventures. In Kirby's ''Mario Kirby Meisaku Video'' segment, he helps a little lost [[dog]] find its mother, who was kidnapped by King Dedede.

===''Super Mario-Kun''===
[[File:Kirby SuperMarioKun.png|thumb]]
Kirby appears as a cameo in ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' in volume 5. When Mario and his friends are chased by Boos, Mario notices a circular character.

Kirby appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', whereas Kirby is eight inches high: his dimensions were obviously heightened for this game. Kirby was a light fighter, and most of his attacks were light-weight (except for his [[Stone]] attack, of course). However, Kirby had a unique ability, so far restricted to him. He is able to use suction abilities, and pull an opposing fighter inside his mouth. Once he spits that player out, Kirby would gain one of his or her powers. This attack is taken straight from the Kirby series. Each character gives him a different attack, and he could easily get rid of the power by taunting.
Kirby appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', where he is eight inches (20 centimeters) high, though his dimensions were heightened for this game in order to make him viable to fight. Kirby is the second lightest fighter behind Jigglypuff, and like it, though unlike most fighters, has five jumps, referencing his flight abilities in the ''Kirby'' series.
 
Several of Kirby's attacks are based on the various abilities throughout the ''Kirby'' series: his standard special move is [[smashwiki:Inhale (Kirby)|Inhale]], which allows him to suck up any opponents into his mouth and either spit them out as a star or copy them, allowing him to use their standard special move; his down special is [[smashwiki:Stone|Stone]], which allows him to slam the ground as a stone; his up special is the [[smashwiki:Final Cutter|Final Cutter]], one of the [[wikirby:Cutter|Cutter]] ability's attacks, which allows him to leap into the air and slice the ground; his standard attack is based on the Vulcan Jab, one of the [[wikirby:Fighter|Fighter]] ability's attacks; and his side smash is based on the Smash Kick, another of the Fighter's moves. Most of Kirby's grab attacks are all based on moves used by the [[wikirby:Backdrop|Backdrop]] and [[wikirby:Suplex|Suplex]] abilities, though his up throw is the Air Drop attack used by [[wikirby:Ninja|Ninja]]. Kirby's up aerial is an original move known as "Twinkle Star", which would later be used in [[wikirby:Kirby & The Amazing Mirror|''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'']] as an attack for Kirby's [[wikirby:Smash|Smash]] ability.

Kirby returned in the game's sequel ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. He is still a default character, but unlike the previous game, he is lighter and slower, which lead to a poor tier position in ''Melee'''s tier list. His new attack is the Hammer.
[[File:Kirby.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.55|Artwork from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'']]
Kirby appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as a playable fighter. He is still a default character, but unlike the previous game, he is lighter and slower. He is also given a side special move, the [[smashwiki:Hammer (move)|Hammer]], which allows him to swing the hammer once on the ground and spinning vertically in the air. In addition, his dash attack has been changed to the [[wikirby:Burning|Burning]] ability. "Twinkle Star" is now Kirby's standard aerial; his up aerial is completely new, being the Moon Somersault Kick from the Fighter ability; his forward aerial is now the Aerial Spin Kick, also from the Fighter ability. His appearance was also altered, becoming smoother due to the GameCube's heightened graphical abilities. His pink hue is also slightly brighter. Otherwise, not much else has changed between his original and ''Melee'' appearances.


In Adventure Mode, Kirby appears in Stage 5: [[Green Greens]]. The player must battle 18 Kirbies, each with a different power. If the 18 Kirbies are defeated in less than 30 seconds, a giant Kirby appears to battle the player.

In {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode (SSBM)|Adventure Mode}}, Kirby appears in {{iw|smashwiki|Green Greens|Stage 5: Green Greens}}. A total of 18 Kirbys are fought here, most of which have a different copy ability from another character; additionally, defeating every Kirby in under 30 seconds brings forth '''Giant Kirby''' as an additional opponent for the player to fight.
Kirby's special moves from ''Melee'' are used in the game ''Kirby & the Amazing Mirror'', through the use of the ability called Smash. The moves he gets are Neutral Air Hammer, Final Cutter, Stone, and Vulcan Jab. He obtains the ability from [[Master Hand]], who is a boss in the game.

{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Kirby (SSBB)}}
Kirby returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', along with his rival [[Meta Knight]] and archenemy [[King Dedede]]. Kirby's [[Final Smash]] attack is called Cook Kirby. Stage 5 of Classic Mode always uses characters from the Kirby series, thus Kirby has a chance of appearing in it. Stage 15 of All-Star Mode is also Kirby based. A cameo has been appeared. His down special attack, stone, has various appearance, like the spike ball, and 100-ton. It also shows Super Mario 64-style thwomp.
Kirby appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a playable fighter. Two other characters from the ''Kirby'' series are also fighters, {{iw|smashwiki|Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight}} and {{iw|smashwiki|King Dedede (SSBB)|King Dedede}}. Kirby's Burning ability dash attack in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' has been replaced with a spinning kick similar to the Break Spin attack used by the [[wikirby:Yo-Yo|Yo-Yo]] ability in ''[[wikirby:Kirby Super Star|Kirby Super Star]]'', and the aerial Hammer swings horizontally rather than vertically. Kirby's [[Final Smash]] attack is called {{iw|smashwiki|Cook Kirby}}, based on the {{iw|wikirby|Cook}} ability, debuting in ''Kirby Super Star'', which draws in everything nearby for Kirby to cook it in a pot and release items while damaging enemies.


=====[[Solid Snake]] Codec Conversation=====
Stage 5 of {{iw|smashwiki|Classic Mode (SSBB)|Classic Mode}} always uses characters from the ''Kirby'' series, so Kirby has a chance of appearing in it, either as an enemy or as a partner. Stage 15 of All-Star Mode is also themed around the ''Kirby'' series.
*'''[[Otacon]]''': Snake! Watch out!
{{br}}
*'''Snake''': For what? That pink marshmallow?
*'''Otacon''': That's Kirby, also known as "Kirby from Dream Land." He's from another planet--in other words, an extraterrestrial. He's got a powerful stomach that lets him swallow and digest anything. And he also has a "Copy Ability" that allows him to mimic opponents, steal their moves, and use those moves against them. On top of that, he has the power to fly around the stage, so once he's got you in his sights, there's no place to run.
*'''Snake''': ...Huh? Yeah, got it. I'll... keep an eye out.

In the beginning, a trophy of Mario and Kirby are thrown into an arena. The two come to life and fight. The player chooses either Mario or Kirby to play as. After the battle between the two, the winner resurrects the loser with a touch. The [[Subspace Army]] attacks the stadium, but Mario, Kirby, [[Princess Peach]], and [[Zelda]] oppose them. Mario is blown away by a cannon ball, and Kirby is ambushed by [[Petey Piranha]], who has captured the princesses. Kirby then goes off against Petey. After either Peach or Zelda is freed, Kirby takes her for a ride off into the [[Sea of Clouds]] on his [[Warp Star]] before taking a hit and landing on the [[Halberd]]. Soon, an [[Arwing]] is shot down, blowing both the Princess and Kirby off the Halberd on the ground below.

After either Peach or Zelda is freed, Kirby takes her for a ride off into the {{iw|smashwiki|Sea of Clouds}} on his [[Warp Star]] before taking a hit and landing on the {{iw|wikirby|Halberd}}. Soon, an {{iw|lylatwiki|Arwing}} is shot down, blowing both the princess and Kirby off the Halberd on the ground below.
 
After the Princess and Kirby land in a grassy area, Kirby runs away, leaving the princess behind. The princess turns around and sees [[Bowser]] with a [[Dark Cannon]] who immediately shoots her to transform her into a [[trophy]]. Kirby hops on [[King Dedede]]'s [[Cargo]] (originally belonged to [[Wario]]) and waits there.
 
After King Dedede collects the [[Link]] and [[Yoshi]] (or [[Mario]] and [[Pit]]) trophies, Kirby hops out. King Dedede then gasps and with Kirby's Cutter Sword, Kirby destroys the large object that is holding the two trophies. Kirby quickly revives the two, and they all jump off the car. King Dedede turns around and leaves, but his cargo ends up blowing an engine from an arrow that's either fired by Link or Pit.
 
[[File:BrawlKirbyPeach.png|right|thumb|Kirby and Peach on a [[Warp Star]].]]
Kirby, Mario, Pit, Link, and Yoshi become a team and go to save the other trophies (the other princess, [[Ness]], and [[Luigi]]). They reach [[King Dedede's Castle]], but they are still unable to rescue the trophies as [[Bowser]] escapes with the princess trophy in his [[Koopa Clown Car]] while the other trophies are buried under a large pile of stones. While Bowser steals the princess, the badge that Dedede had put on the princess falls. Kirby goes to inspect it and [[swallow]]s it. The team then leaves because Dedede's Castle is destroyed by another [[Subspace Bomb]]. After leaving, they reach a desert below the castle where they follow the [[Ancient Minister]]. However the Ancient Minister sends [[R.O.B.]]s out to stop them, and he sets another bomb. It explodes, however Mario hops on Yoshi and rides off. Meanwhile, Pit and Link hop on Kirby's Warp Star and fly off. They escape before the explosion can reach them.
 
Later, Kirby and the others find the [[Ice Climbers]], [[Marth]], [[Lucas]], the [[Pokémon Trainer]], and [[Ike]] fighting the Subspace Army and subsequently join the fight. All of the other heroes join up with them afterward. Near the end, when the heroes are all fighting [[Ganondorf]] and Bowser in Ganondorf and Bowser's large [[Subspace Gunship]], Kirby ends up destroying the gunship. He comes riding a [[Dragoon]] and flies right in the villain's large cannon, destroying not only the cannon but the whole ship itself. Ganondorf and Bowser escape going in the large black hole in the sky. All the heroes follow them inside.


The heroes are all in [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]] itself. Kirby and all the others attempt to fight [[Tabuu]]; however, they are all defeated with his [[Off Waves]]. The badge that Kirby swallowed turns out to have the power to turn a trophy back to life. Kirby is brought back and goes off to revive Link, Yoshi, Peach, Zelda, the Ice Climbers, [[Meta Knight]], [[Lucario]], R.O.B., [[Solid Snake]], and even [[Wario]], who also had been working with the Subspace Army and ended up in Subspace earlier on. Soon Kirby comes across Ganondorf in his trophy form, but before he could do anything, Bowser suddenly appears and starts attacking Ganondorf, having been betrayed by him earlier. Dedede (who revived Luigi and Ness with the badges) then reunites with Kirby. Kirby, as well as everyone else, fights Tabuu a second time and are able to defeat him (with some [[Sonic the Hedgehog|extra help]]).

'''Giant Kirby''' is, as his name implies, a gigantic Kirby, and a boss in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Giant Kirby is also a playable character if the player plays as Kirby, and Kirby eats a [[Super Mushroom]].
Kirby, Mario, Pit, Link, and Yoshi become a team and go to save the other trophies (the other princess, {{iw|smashwiki|Ness (SSBB)|Ness}}, and [[Luigi]]). They reach King Dedede's castle, but they are still unable to rescue the trophies as [[Bowser]] escapes with the princess trophy in his [[Koopa Clown Car]] while the other trophies are buried under a large pile of stones. While Bowser steals the princess, the badge that Dedede had put on the princess falls. Kirby goes to inspect it and [[swallow]]s it.

Meanwhile, Pit and Link hop on Kirby's Warp Star and fly off. They escape before the explosion can reach them.  


Giant Kirby is only encountered by players if they manage to defeat every Kirby in the [[Green Greens]] stage of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee's'' Adventure Mode in less then thirty seconds. Doing so will summon Giant Kirby, who will drop from the air and challenge players.
Later, Kirby and the others find the {{iw|smashwiki|Ice Climbers (SSBB)|Ice Climbers}}, {{iw|smashwiki|Marth (SSBB)|Marth}}, {{iw|smashwiki|Lucas (SSBB)|Lucas}}, the {{iw|smashwiki|Pokémon Trainer (SSBB)|Pokémon Trainer}}, and {{iw|smashwiki|Ike (SSBB)|Ike}} fighting the Subspace Army and subsequently join the fight. All of the other heroes join up with them afterward. Near the end, when the heroes are all fighting {{iw|smashwiki|Ganondorf (SSBB)|Ganondorf}} and Bowser in Ganondorf and Bowser's large [[Subspace Gunship]], Kirby ends up destroying the gunship. He comes riding a [[Dragoon]] and flies right in the villain's large cannon, destroying not only the cannon but the whole ship itself. Ganondorf and Bowser escape going in the large black hole in the sky. All the heroes follow them inside.


Giant Kirby uses the same attacks as a regular Kirby, though they're much more powerful. Giant Kirby, like his smaller brethren, can also inhale opponents and gain one of their abilities, as well as copy their appearance.
The heroes are all in {{iw|smashwiki|Subspace}} itself. Kirby and all the others attempt to fight {{iw|smashwiki|Tabuu}}; however, they are all defeated with his Off Waves. The badge that Kirby swallowed turns out to have the power to turn a trophy back to life. Kirby is brought back and goes off to revive Link, Yoshi, Peach, Zelda, the Ice Climbers, [[Meta Knight]], [[Lucario]], R.O.B., [[Solid Snake]], and even [[Wario]], who also had been working with the Subspace Army and ended up in Subspace earlier on.

Dedede (who revived Luigi and Ness with the badges) then reunites with Kirby. Kirby, as well as everyone else, fights Tabuu a second time and are able to defeat him (with some [[Sonic|extra help]]).


In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', players can become Giant Kirby again by grabbing a Super Mushroom.

Kirby returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. His Hammer is replaced with [[Hammer Flip]], making it more similar to the move in ''[[Wikirby:Kirby Super Star|Kirby Super Star]]''. His Final Smash was changed to [[smashwiki:Ultra Sword|Ultra Sword]], a [[wikirby:Super Ability|Super Ability]] from ''[[wikirby:Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. Kirby's standard attack also gains a finisher in Smash Punch, an attack from the Fighter ability. Kirby's mobility is improved, but his attacks' damage output and knockback are decreased, while some of his moves are slower.

His stone attack turning into a Thwomp's appearance has been changed, it's more New Super Mario Bros. series style rather than Super Mario 64.{{refneeded|date=September 2014}}

Kirby made a cameo in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' in the [[Yoshi Theater]] poster. There was a poster in the theater advertising a movie known as [[Kirby Story]], whose artwork featured Kirby riding a [[Warp Star]] through the air.
Kirby returns as a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. While many of his moves remain the same, Kirby's dash attack has reverted to his Burning ability tackle from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Kirby's down tilt is called Squish Kick. Kirby has received a significant amount of improvements over the previous installment, receiving higher mobility, higher ability to knock opponents back and damage in some of his attacks, reduced short hop timing and landing lag in his aerial attacks, and reduced startup or ending lag in some of his attacks.

==Special Moves==
In {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode: World of Light}}, Kirby is the initial playable character and protagonist and the only character to survive an attack from {{iw|smashwiki|Galeem}}, who turns everyone in the world into [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirits]] and transports them to the World of Light, leaving Kirby to rescue them. According to Masahiro Sakurai, the presence of puppet fighters from Kirby in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''{{'}}s Spirits modes is due to Galeem managing to analyze Kirby throughout the story.<ref>{{cite|url=x.com/PushDustIn/status/1098252915532165120|author=PushDustIn|date=February 20, 2019|title=At the start of World of Light, there are no Spirit battles with Kirby. This is because he survives. However, in the later half there are. The thought process was that he was analyzed at one point.|publisher=X|accessdate=June 25, 2024}}</ref>
===Inhale===
=====Classic Mode route=====
[[File:Inhale.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Kirby, swallowing [[Mario]].]]
At the start of rounds 1-6, multiple [[food]]s appear on the stage. By completing Kirby's Classic Mode route, it is possible to unlock [[Ness]], [[Jigglypuff]], [[Pac-Man]], [[Zelda]], [[Robin]], [[Corrin]], [[Lucas]], or [[Palutena]]. Kirby's Classic Mode route pits him against characters known for eating.
{{main|SmashWiki:Inhale}}
{|class="wikitable"style="margin:auto;"
Kirby's '''Inhale''' ('''Swallow''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'') attack, which appeared in all three games from the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], is his standard special move. When Kirby swallows an opponent, three things may happen. If the player presses the special or down button, Kirby, in almost all cases, copies his opponent's standard special attack in the place of Inhale, as well as receiving one of the several Kirby Hats corresponding with whichever opponent he swallowed. This does not work on the following only:
!colspan="5"|Gourmet Clash
*Another Kirby (unless that Kirby has a different power)
|-
*[[Metal Mario (character)|Metal Mario]] (''Super Smash Bros.'' only)
!width=20px|Round
*Any background enemy in Adventure Mode i.e. [[Primid]], [[Goomba]], [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Koopa Paratroopa]], [[ReDead]], [[Like Like]], [[Octorok]], [[Topi]], and [[Polar Bear]].
!width=100px|Opponent(s)
*[[Fighting Polygons|Polygon]]s, [[Fighting Wire Frames|Wire Frames]], and [[Fighting Alloy Team|Alloys]].
!width=150px|Stage
*[[List of bosses|Bosses]]
!width=200px|Song
*[[Giga Bowser]]
If the player presses the {{button|gcn|A}} or {{button|gcn|Z}}, Kirby spits out the character, doing damage to them. Kirby does not absorb his target's abilities by doing this. Also, opponents can break free from Kirby if they rapidly mash buttons.
 
In the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', if Kirby holds an opponent in his mouth, he would be unable to walk or jump until he spits or swallows the enemy. All he is limited to in movement is to turn around. This was fixed in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. If Kirby uses his [[Taunt]], he lets go of the power that he gained.
 
===Hammer===
{{multiframe

|align=left
}}
{{main|SmashWiki:Hammer (move)}}
{{main|WiKirby:Hammer}}
'''Hammer''' is a special move that Kirby can use in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is Kirby's side+{{button|gcn|B}} move, and the attack differs in the air. It resembles [[King Dedede]]'s hammer. On the ground, Kirby pulls out a very large hammer, holds it back, and then swipes across, hurting anyone who gets hit. It is a good long distance move, but it takes a while to use. In the air, Kirby pulls out the Hammer, and he spins forward with the hammer out. This is also a good long range attack. The attack itself is one of the Kirby's many weapons in the Kirby series. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', however, when done in mid-air, rather spinning with the hammer held upwards, Kirby now spins twice with the hammer held horizontally. In the E3 2006 trailer, it was shown to work identically to ''Melee''. The ''Melee'' version is how it works in the ''Kirby'' series.
====Hammer Flip====
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'', Hammer was replaced by Hammer Flip, a different move usable by Hammer Kirby from some games in the ''Kirby'' series. It can be charged, Kirby can move while using it, and is on fire. However, if it is held for too long, Kirby will take damage.
 
===Final Cutter===
{{multiframe
|[[File:Kirby-FinalCutter-Melee.png|x165px]] [[File:BrawlFinalCutter.jpg|200px]]
|The '''Final Cutter''', in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' respectively.
|size=400
|align=right
}}
{{main|SmashWiki:Final Cutter}}
'''Final Cutter''' is an attack that Kirby can use in all three ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' games. It is executed by performing an up-special. Kirby flies with a Scimitar and crushes on the ground, damaging any opponents. Also, the move doesn't stop there; when Kirby hits the ground with the sword, a blue wave is sent across the ground, damaging any opponents that hit it. When coming down, Final Cutter acts as a weak [[Meteor Smash]]. It can also act as a third jump. The attack was introduced in ''[[wikirby:Kirby Super Star|Kirby Super Star]]'' as part of the [[wikirby:Cutter|Cutter]] ability, but was later changed to one of [[wikirby:Sword|Sword's]] attacks. Final Cutter is not to be confused with [[Cutter]], a character from ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
 
===Stone===
[[File:Kirby's Stone Move.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The different forms that Kirby uses when he utilizes his Stone ability.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Stone}}
{{main|WiKirby:Stone}}
'''Stone''' is an attack used by Kirby in all three [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]]. Kirby uses this attack only if a down special is executed. Once this is done, Kirby transforms into a random heavy object. He cannot move in this state, but he cannot be hurt. Grabbing, however, nullifies this immunity. The attack is best used in the air, so that Kirby can drop on the opponent. In the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', Kirby only turned into a rock. However, in the sequel and ''Brawl'', Kirby could change into different things; a Garbage Block from ''Panel de Pon'', a pink rock (the original Stone from ''Kirby's Adventure'') , a 100T weight, a spiked ball (bearing a similar look to a Gordo), and even a [[Thwomp]].
 
===Cook Kirby===
[[File:Cook Kirby.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Kirby releasing the characters and many items after using '''Cook Kirby'''.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Cook Kirby}}
{{main|WiKirby:Cook}}
'''Cook Kirby''' is the name of Kirby's [[Final Smash]] move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. When Kirby breaks the [[Smash Ball]] during a fight, he can pull out a giant soup pot and wear a chef's hat. He uses his spatula to draw players, and even [[items]] into the pot and starts to simmer the boiling soup. As he does this, he damages the players caught in the pot massively. He then takes out all the players, and sends them flying across the stage with items coming out.
 
The items that pop up is determined by what items are turned "ON" in the Item Switch menu. This applies to Group Mode and Training, but not for any other game mode.

This costume also replaces the jumping, landing, and end-of-level sounds, all of which are also taken from ''Kirby's Adventure''. The sound that plays when Mario obtains the costume is also the one that plays when Kirby gets a copy ability in ''Kirby's Adventure''.
 
==Copy Abilities==
Below is a chart of Copy Abilities that Kirby can gain from ''Super Mario'' characters in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', Kirby will only copy the character's default standard special move.

He has the handy ability to copy powers and use them as his own. His hovering ability lets him fly through the air with ease. He's so round, he's sometimes treated like a ball.

Beam Kirby features a Beam ability, acquired by inhaling Waddle Doo, that allows him to shoot a whiplike beam at his enemies. With a wide attack range, this ability is extremely easy to use, especially for taking out enemies in bunches. In {{hover|Kirby Super Star|Kirby's Fun Pak (PAL version)}}, this beam can also be charged and fired.

This ability provides both {{hover|offensive|attacking (PAL version)}} and defensive measures against nearby enemies.

Kirby cannot move at all while sleeping, so extra care should be taken not to use this ability when enemies are near. Kirby, in his slumber, tends to drool, and in his panicked awakening, isn't it cute how he forgets to wipe off the drool?

Inhaling brawny challengers like Knuckle Joe will transform Kirby, allowing him to use a bunch of fight moves like Rising Break, the heroic uppercut. His Mega Power Shot in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, which used charged energy to take out faraway enemies, is another Fighter Kirby highlight.

In {{hover|Kirby Super Star|Kirby's Fun Pak (PAL version)}} and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Fire Kirby can roll his burning body into enemies as an attack move.

These frozen enemies can then be knocked into other enemies as an additional means of attack. These blocks are not only effective against enemies but can also be used on terrain such as magma or water.

In {{hover|Kirby Super Star|Kirby's Fun Pak (PAL version)}}, your attack--be it a Plasma Laser or a Plasma Wave Cannon--varies with the length of time you charge it.

When in tornado form, Kirby can spin freely through the air for short amounts of time, clearing out groups of enemies. Tornado Kirby will continue spinning and bouncing violently off of obstacles until he comes to a stop. One drawback of Tornado Kirby is the control difficulty.

**'''[[Otacon]]''': Snake! Watch out!
**'''Snake''': For what? That pink marshmallow?
**'''Otacon''': That's Kirby, also known as "Kirby from Dream Land." He's from another planet--in other words, an extraterrestrial. He's got a powerful stomach that lets him swallow and digest anything. And he also has a "Copy Ability" that allows him to mimic opponents, steal their moves, and use those moves against them. On top of that, he has the power to fly around the stage, so once he's got you in his sights, there's no place to run.
**'''Snake''': ...Huh? Yeah, got it. I'll... keep an eye out.

|desc=Pudgy, little Kirby lives in the peaceful hills of Dream Land on the Planet Popstar. He can inhale things with his big mouth, either copying their abilities or spitting them out again. In Smash Bros., Kirby can inhale opponents and copy their standard specials. He gets launched easily but recovers well.
|desc2=A roly-poly little fella from Dream Land on Planet Popstar. He can inhale pretty much anyone or anything with that big gob of his, then spit them out or copy their abilities. He can copy opponents' standard specials in this game, too! His light weight means he gets launched easily, but with a series of mid-air jumps, recovering's not too tricky.

The hammer strikes twice in the air, but landing the single blow on the ground is more powerful. Kirby's up special Final Cutter slices up and down, firing a shock wave upon landing.
|desc2=Charge up Kirby's Hammer side special to unleash Hammer Flip, a move with serious launch power. Charge it too much, though, and you'll get hurt! The move hits twice in mid-air, but does more damage on the ground. Final Cutter slices up and down before sending out an energy wave. Move Kirby mid-jump to change where he lands.

|desc=What does the aurora borealis have in common with lightning? Plasma! And what does Plasma Kirby have in common with them? Hrm. Maybe that was too easy... Anyway, Plasma Kirby can build up plasma using the +Control Pad and fire it with the B Button. You can look up more about plasma if you want, but firing plasma is what's important here.
|desc2=In the Kirby series, Plasma Kirby is Kirby, but with the ability to fire plasma, and mashing the +Control Pad charges him up! "But what exactly is plasma?" you ask. Well, that's a very good question. Maybe you should look it up yourself. Can't be giving you all the answers, you know.

|desc2=Kirby looks like a pretty courageous hero in that green cap, doesn't he? Indeed, this Kirby is a master of sword-swishing, fending off enemies with the powerful Spin Slash, the rapid Multisword Attack and the stylish Sword Dive. If that wasn't impressive enough, he can also use these moves on land, in mid-air AND underwater. Beautiful!

You'll then be able to shoot beams from a wand, and the attack can even be charged up for greater effectiveness. You can also use a beam to push switches or to grab and toss your foes.
|desc2=Ever felt jealous of a Waddle Doo's ability to fire beams from its eye? Well, if you're Kirby, there's really no need - swallow one and you, too, can swing energy beams to your heart's content! Charge them up to plough through multiple enemies at once, use them to grab and throw enemies, and even press switches through walls! Yeah!

For example, he can engulf himself in flames and roll forward, burning grass, lighting fuses, melting ice, and so on. What we'd really like him to do, though, is help us make the perfect s'more. Mmmmm.
|desc2=Once upon a time, all Fire Kirby could do was shoot flames from his mouth, but he's come a long way since then. Now he can roll along the ground as a blazing fireball, burn up grass, light fuses, melt ice and so on. That's great and all, but what we really want to know is...can he help us get a barbecue going?

Perfect for a tough fight or when you need some ice for your iced coffee. Kirby isn't busy saving Dream Land or anything...
|desc2=When Kirby has the Ice ability, he can blast enemies with glacial gales to freeze them. He can then kick them into other enemies to take them all out at once! It's the perfect ability for a tough fight...or for when you need some ice to keep a glass of fruit juice nicely chilled. Not everything has to be about saving Dream Land, you know!

|desc=Kirby normally looks as tasty as a big ol' marshmallow, but he's significantly less appetizing when he's copied the Needle ability. Those pokey spikes won't add any flavor at all. With this ability, Kirby can bash into enemies or launch the spikes at them. A great, easy-to-use ability!
|desc2=Kirby's soft, fluffy and just...so huggable! Except when he's got the Needle ability, that is - then it's like there's a hug-free zone all around him. Being covered in spikes comes in handy, though, for rolling into enemies, and even shooting at them! However, whether that really makes up for his loss of huggableness is hard to say...

His rapid spinning isn't exactly easy to control, but that's all part of the fun!

|desc2=Kirby isn't much of a talker, but if you ever do want to hear his voice, here's a simple solution: swallow a Walky or Mr. Tick-Tock, and you'll be rewarded with an ability called Mike! Watch in awe as Kirby pulls out a microphone (or a megaphone) and shakes your soul with his dulcet tones. For some reason, his enemies can't stand the sound!

|desc2=With his red headband and fierce attitude, Fighter Kirby is ready to take on anything. Like a real martial artist, he can kick and throw his foes into submission. And like a...not-so-real martial artist, he can fire his fighting spirit as an energy blast to hit faraway enemies. The only weapon this Kirby needs is his burning heart!

*'''Palutena:''' True, but he's still a formidable foe.

*'''Pit:''' So, it shouldn't be hard to send him flying, huh?
*'''Palutena:''' Right. The question is how to do that.
*'''Viridi:''' Oh, that part's easy. Just keep wailing on him. Then we'll see who's stronger: that little puffball... or Kirby!

Kirby cannot move at all while sleeping, so extra care should be taken not to use this ability when enemies are near.

These frozen enemies can then be knocked into other enemies as an additional means of attack. These blocks are not only effective against enemies but can also be used on terrain such as magma or water.

| align=center | Kirby when he inhales enemies that fly around like twisters through the sky. When in tornado form, Kirby can spin freely through the air for short amounts of time, clearing out groups of enemies. Tornado Kirby will continue spinning and bouncing violently off of obstacles until he comes to a stop. One drawback of Tornado Kirby is the control difficulty.

—Kirby, Super Smash Bros.

Kirby is an inhabitant of Planet Popstar and the protagonist of the Kirby series. He lives in the kingdom of Dream Land, which is ruled by the series' main antagonist (but also often an ally), King Dedede. On his adventures, he runs into many other characters, such as the shady Meta Knight, or the helpful and friendly Bandana Waddle Dee. Kirby defeats his foes by using his signature ability, inhaling items and enemies and spitting them out or copying their abilities.

Aside from some cameos, Kirby has rarely appeared alongside Mario in either of their series aside from a few issues of the German Club Nintendo magazine and, most notably, in the Super Smash Bros. titles–all of which are directed by Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of the Kirby series. He is voiced by Makiko Ohmoto.

History

Super Mario-kun

Kirby from Super Mario-kun.
Kirby's first appearance in the Super Mario franchise.

Kirby's first appearance in the Super Mario franchise is in volume 5 of Super Mario-kun. When Mario and his friends are being chased by Boos, Mario notices a circular character that he mistakes for another Boo. This character turns out to be Kirby, who helps Mario and his allies by swallowing the enemies. Kirby, however, seems to realize that he is not on Game Boy, and runs off. Kirby makes subsequent cameos in later volumes, such as in volume 7 when he shows up to inhale a collector's stolen goods.

Club Nintendo

Kirby in the form of a "surprise bomb."

Kirby appears in "Super Mario: Mario im Wunderland" as a protagonist. Mario goes to Wunderland by accident, which is a strange land where a wizard, whose name is Crab is said to be able to fulfill desires. Among others, Mario meets Kirby in Wunderland, and mistakes him for a pillow. This annoys Kirby, and since he says he wants to look like Mega Man, he joins Mario on his way to the wizard. When arriving there, however, Kirby just says that he would like to not be a pillow any longer. The wizard then turns him into a toaster.

Kirby appears in "Warios Weihnachtsmärchen" as a major character. He is caged in Wario's bomb shop for unknown reasons and expresses his anger by commanding Wario to free him. The shopkeeper, however, paints him black and sells him as a "surprise bomb." When the buyer, Kid Klown, finds out about Kirby being the "surprise", both are angry at Wario. At the end of the story, they forgive him, as he gives some cookies to them.

Kirby appears in "Super Mario in Die Nacht des Grauens" as Mario's ally in the fight against Abigor. In this story, Kirby lives in a skyscraper together with several other Nintendo characters. In order to fight Abigor, who plans to take over the building, Kirby together with Mario and Link puts on some magic clothes and serums which turn them into aggressive ghostbusters. In this form, Kirby uses his Inhale and temporary fire breath abilities to fight Abigor's allies.

Kirby appears in "Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All" as a background character. Kirby is among the many characters to celebrate the Mario Brothers when they managed to find the Nintendo 64 first, before Bowser and Wario could.

Kirby appears in Super Smash Bros., where he is eight inches (20 centimeters) high, though his dimensions were heightened for this game in order to make him viable to fight. Kirby is the second lightest fighter behind Jigglypuff, and like it, though unlike most fighters, has five jumps, referencing his flight abilities in the Kirby series.

Several of Kirby's attacks are based on the various abilities throughout the Kirby series: his standard special move is Inhale, which allows him to suck up any opponents into his mouth and either spit them out as a star or copy them, allowing him to use their standard special move; his down special is Stone, which allows him to slam the ground as a stone; his up special is the Final Cutter, one of the Cutter ability's attacks, which allows him to leap into the air and slice the ground; his standard attack is based on the Vulcan Jab, one of the Fighter ability's attacks; and his side smash is based on the Smash Kick, another of the Fighter's moves. Most of Kirby's grab attacks are all based on moves used by the Backdrop and Suplex abilities, though his up throw is the Air Drop attack used by Ninja. Kirby's up aerial is an original move known as "Twinkle Star", which would later be used in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror as an attack for Kirby's Smash ability.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Artwork from Super Smash Bros. Melee

Kirby appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee as a playable fighter. He is still a default character, but unlike the previous game, he is lighter and slower. He is also given a side special move, the Hammer, which allows him to swing the hammer once on the ground and spinning vertically in the air. In addition, his dash attack has been changed to the Burning ability. "Twinkle Star" is now Kirby's standard aerial; his up aerial is completely new, being the Moon Somersault Kick from the Fighter ability; his forward aerial is now the Aerial Spin Kick, also from the Fighter ability. His appearance was also altered, becoming smoother due to the GameCube's heightened graphical abilities. His pink hue is also slightly brighter. Otherwise, not much else has changed between his original and Melee appearances.

In Adventure Mode, Kirby appears in Stage 5: Green Greens. A total of 18 Kirbys are fought here, most of which have a different copy ability from another character; additionally, defeating every Kirby in under 30 seconds brings forth Giant Kirby as an additional opponent for the player to fight.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

SmashWiki article: Kirby (SSBB)

Kirby appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a playable fighter. Two other characters from the Kirby series are also fighters, Meta Knight and King Dedede. Kirby's Burning ability dash attack in Super Smash Bros. Melee has been replaced with a spinning kick similar to the Break Spin attack used by the Yo-Yo ability in Kirby Super Star, and the aerial Hammer swings horizontally rather than vertically. Kirby's Final Smash attack is called Cook Kirby, based on the Cook ability, debuting in Kirby Super Star, which draws in everything nearby for Kirby to cook it in a pot and release items while damaging enemies.

Stage 5 of Classic Mode always uses characters from the Kirby series, so Kirby has a chance of appearing in it, either as an enemy or as a partner. Stage 15 of All-Star Mode is also themed around the Kirby series.

The Subspace Emissary
Kirby's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary

In the beginning, a trophy of Mario and Kirby are thrown into an arena. The two come to life and fight. The player chooses either Mario or Kirby to play as. After the battle between the two, the winner resurrects the loser with a touch. The Subspace Army attacks the stadium, but Mario, Kirby, Peach, and Zelda oppose them. Mario is blown away by a cannon ball, and Kirby is ambushed by Petey Piranha, who has captured the princesses. Kirby then goes off against Petey. After either Peach or Zelda is freed, Kirby takes her for a ride off into the Sea of Clouds on his Warp Star before taking a hit and landing on the Halberd. Soon, an Arwing is shot down, blowing both the princess and Kirby off the Halberd on the ground below.

After the princess and Kirby land in a grassy area, Kirby runs away, leaving the princess behind. The princess turns around and sees Bowser with a Dark Cannon who immediately shoots her to transform her into a trophy. Kirby hops on King Dedede's Cargo and waits there.

After King Dedede collects the Link and Yoshi (or Mario and Pit) trophies, Kirby hops out. King Dedede then gasps and with his Final Cutter, Kirby destroys the large object that is holding the two trophies. Kirby quickly revives the two, and they all jump off the cargo. King Dedede turns around and leaves, but his cargo ends up blowing an engine from an arrow that is either fired by Link or Pit.

Kirby, Mario, Pit, Link, and Yoshi become a team and go to save the other trophies (the other princess, Ness, and Luigi). They reach King Dedede's castle, but they are still unable to rescue the trophies as Bowser escapes with the princess trophy in his Koopa Clown Car while the other trophies are buried under a large pile of stones. While Bowser steals the princess, the badge that Dedede had put on the princess falls. Kirby goes to inspect it and swallows it. The team then leaves because Dedede's Castle is destroyed by another Subspace Bomb. After leaving, they reach a desert below the castle where they follow the Ancient Minister. However the Ancient Minister sends R.O.B.s out to stop them, and he sets another bomb. It explodes, however Mario hops on Yoshi and rides off. Meanwhile, Pit and Link hop on Kirby's Warp Star and fly off. They escape before the explosion can reach them.

Later, Kirby and the others find the Ice Climbers, Marth, Lucas, the Pokémon Trainer, and Ike fighting the Subspace Army and subsequently join the fight. All of the other heroes join up with them afterward. Near the end, when the heroes are all fighting Ganondorf and Bowser in Ganondorf and Bowser's large Subspace Gunship, Kirby ends up destroying the gunship. He comes riding a Dragoon and flies right in the villain's large cannon, destroying not only the cannon but the whole ship itself. Ganondorf and Bowser escape going in the large black hole in the sky. All the heroes follow them inside.

The heroes are all in Subspace itself. Kirby and all the others attempt to fight Tabuu; however, they are all defeated with his Off Waves. The badge that Kirby swallowed turns out to have the power to turn a trophy back to life. Kirby is brought back and goes off to revive Link, Yoshi, Peach, Zelda, the Ice Climbers, Meta Knight, Lucario, R.O.B., Solid Snake, and even Wario, who also had been working with the Subspace Army and ended up in Subspace earlier on. Soon Kirby comes across Ganondorf in his trophy form, but before he could do anything, Bowser suddenly appears and starts attacking Ganondorf, having been betrayed by him earlier. Dedede (who revived Luigi and Ness with the badges) then reunites with Kirby. Kirby, as well as everyone else, fights Tabuu a second time and are able to defeat him (with some extra help).

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U

Kirby in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
SmashWiki article: Kirby (SSB4)

Kirby returns as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. His Hammer is replaced with Hammer Flip, making it more similar to the move in Kirby Super Star. His Final Smash was changed to Ultra Sword, a Super Ability from Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Kirby's standard attack also gains a finisher in Smash Punch, an attack from the Fighter ability. Kirby's mobility is improved, but his attacks' damage output and knockback are decreased, while some of his moves are slower.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Kirby returns as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. While many of his moves remain the same, Kirby's dash attack has reverted to his Burning ability tackle from Super Smash Bros. Melee. Kirby's down tilt is called Squish Kick. Kirby has received a significant amount of improvements over the previous installment, receiving higher mobility, higher ability to knock opponents back and damage in some of his attacks, reduced short hop timing and landing lag in his aerial attacks, and reduced startup or ending lag in some of his attacks.

In Adventure Mode: World of Light, Kirby is the initial playable character and protagonist and the only character to survive an attack from Galeem, who turns everyone in the world into spirits and transports them to the World of Light, leaving Kirby to rescue them. According to Masahiro Sakurai, the presence of puppet fighters from Kirby in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Spirits modes is due to Galeem managing to analyze Kirby throughout the story.[1]

Classic Mode route

At the start of rounds 1-6, multiple foods appear on the stage. By completing Kirby's Classic Mode route, it is possible to unlock Ness, Jigglypuff, Pac-Man, Zelda, Robin, Corrin, Lucas, or Palutena. Kirby's Classic Mode route pits him against characters known for eating.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Kirby Story

Kirby makes a cameo appearance in the original version of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga on a poster advertising a movie known as Kirby Story, whose artwork featured Kirby riding a Warp Star through the air in the Yoshi Theater.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Since the 3.0 update of Mario Kart 8 and available from the start in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Kirby's amiibo is compatible. Placing it on the NFC sensor unlocks a custom Kirby-themed outfit for players to equip upon Miis. In fact, Kirby himself appears - merely as a picture - in the Mii Racing Suits menu; this picture stays right near the Mii suit design mentioned before.

Super Mario Maker

Sprite of Costume Mario Kirby, in Super Mario Maker.

Kirby is one of the obtainable Costume Mario costumes in Super Mario Maker, unlocked by tapping the Kirby amiibo onto the Wii U GamePad. The sprite Kirby uses is the one from Kirby's Adventure. This costume also replaces the jumping, landing, and end-of-level sounds, all of which are also taken from Kirby's Adventure. The sound that plays when Mario obtains the costume is also the one that plays when Kirby gets a copy ability in Kirby's Adventure.

Copy Abilities

Below is a chart of Copy Abilities that Kirby can gain from Super Mario characters in the Super Smash Bros. series. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Kirby will only copy the character's default standard special move.

Image Character Description Games obtainable
Kirby with Bowser's ability Bowser Kirby receives Bowser's hair and horns and gains his special: Fire Breath. Kirby can breath out fire, which can be angled up or down starting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. However, the flame diminishes after being used for too long and must recharge. Melee / Brawl / Nintendo 3DS / Wii U / Ultimate
Kirby with Bowser Jr.'s ability Bowser Jr./Koopalings Regardless of which of the characters Kirby inhales, he will receive Bowser Jr.'s tuft of hair and a bandana resembling the one worn by Bowser Jr. He gains the ability Clown Cannon, which will cause a cannon to appear in Kirby's mouth upon pressing the special button. How far the cannonball travels depends on how long the special button is held. Nintendo 3DS / Wii U / Ultimate
Kirby with Daisy's ability Daisy Kirby receives the crown Daisy wears on his head and gains the special move Toad. If Kirby pulls the Toad out while he is being attacked, Toad will release damaging spores. Ultimate
Kirby with Diddy Kong's ability Diddy Kong Kirby receives Diddy Kong's hat and his special move, Peanut Popgun. Using the move will have Kirby take out his version of the popgun. Holding the special button will charge the popgun and releasing will fire a peanut. The distance the peanut is launched depends on how long the button was held. Holding the button for too long, however, will cause the popgun to explode, dealing slight damage to Kirby and those around him. Brawl / Nintendo 3DS / Wii U / Ultimate
Kirby with Dr. Mario's ability Dr. Mario Kirby obtains a doctor's head mirror and Dr. Mario's special move, Megavitamin. Pressing the special button will have Kirby launch a Megavitamin forward, which will bounce around off the ground and walls for a time, disappearing either when it travels far enough or after dealing damage to an opponent. Due to Kirby's lower height, the Megavitamins do not bounce as high compared to when Dr. Mario launches them. Melee / Nintendo 3DS / Wii U / Ultimate
Kirby with Donkey Kong's ability Donkey Kong Kirby obtains a suit that resembles Donkey Kong's fur and his special move, Giant Punch. Upon pressing the special button, Kirby will begin charging the move by swinging his arm around. Pressing the button again will unleash the move and the amount of damage it does is based on how long it was charged. Using this move in the air will put Kirby into a helpless state. All
Kirby with King K. Rool's ability King K. Rool Kirby will receive a hat resembling the top of King K. Rool's head along with his crown upon inhaling him. Kirby also receives the Blunderbuss, a special move where a rifle shoots a Kannonball projectile forward. Unlike K. Rool, Kirby does not don a pirate hat when performing this attack. Ultimate
Kirby with Luigi's ability Luigi Kirby will obtain Luigi's green cap as well as his Fireball special move. Pressing the special button will send a green fireball forward, traveling a short distance forward and bouncing off of obstacles. The fireball does not touch the ground, so the momentum does not get lost as it continues. The fireball will dissipate after hitting an opponent or after enough time has passed. All
Kirby with Mario's ability Mario Kirby will obtain Mario's red cap as well as his Fireball special move. Pressing the special button will send a red fireball forward, bouncing along the ground and off of obstacles. The fireball will dissipate after hitting an opponent or after enough time has passed. However, due to Kirby's height, the fireballs do not bounce as high as Mario's. All
Kirby with Princess Peach's ability Peach Kirby receives the crown Peach wears on his head and gains the special move Toad. If Kirby pulls the Toad out while he is being attacked, Toad will counter the move in Melee or release damaging spores in Brawl and onward. Melee / Brawl / Nintendo 3DS / Wii U / Ultimate
Kirby with Piranha Plant's ability Piranha Plant Kirby will don a full-body outfit resembling Piranha Plant's head, with Kirby's arm's and face peeking out through the mouth. Kirby will also receive the special move Ptooie which allows Kirby to spit out a spike ball and keep it airborne by blowing on it. This damage dealing ball can be launched either left/right or swallowed by Kirby if the move is canceled. Ultimate
Kirby, while he's wearing Rosalina's crown. Rosalina & Luma Kirby receives Rosalina's silver crown and her special move, Luma Shot. By holding the special button, Kirby will receive a wand similar to Rosalina's and a Luma will appear in front of him. Releasing the button will send the Luma flying forward, damaging opponents in its way. How far it goes and how much damage it deals depends on how long it was charged. Unlike Rosalina's move, the Luma does not stick around or return to Kirby, instead disappearing after it reaches the end of the launched distance. Nintendo 3DS / Wii U / Ultimate
Kirby with Wario's ability Wario Regardless of what palette of Wario's Kirby inhales, Kirby will receive Wario's biker helmet and gain the move Chomp. Pressing the special button will make Kirby open up his mouth wide, followed by clamping down on opponents who get close. Repeatedly pressing the button will deal damage to the captured opponent and Kirby will throw the opponent away after some time has passed. Kirby can also use this move to eat certain items and projectiles. Brawl / Nintendo 3DS / Wii U / Ultimate
Kirby with Yoshi's ability Yoshi Kirby obtains a cap resembling the top of Yoshi's head and his large nose, along with his special move, Egg Lay. When the special button is pressed, Kirby will send out a long tongue, which he will use to grab opponents and pull them within him, trapping them in eggs.

Interestingly, Kirby obtains Yoshi's tongue to use rather than his own, making Kirby appear to have two tongues in Melee and Brawl.

Kirby's Inhale in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Kirby Inhaling another Kirby will not do anything if the other Kirby does not have an ability. If the other Kirby does have an ability, it can be stolen, essentially swapping the abilities the Kirbys had. All

The gallery below shows the non-Super Mario characters Kirby can copy:

Profiles and statistics

Super Smash Bros. bios

  • Instruction manual: An 8-inch high creature from a distant star. He may look harmless, but using his Copy ability, Kirby becomes a formidable opponent.
  • Website: Kirby, the little pink puffball of fun, has come all the way from Dreamland to put his opponents to sleep with some nightmarish moves. He has the ability to swallow his opponents and take on their attributes. You can tell which persona Kirby has assumed by seeing which enemy's hat he has stolen.
  • In-game description: The 8-inch high Kirby hails from a distant, peaceful star.
Like his simplistic appearance, he is an easily-understood character.
True to his instincts, Kirby eats when he gets hungry and sleeps as soon as he grows tired. Nevertheless, Kirby remains a formidable opponent. In addition to his distinct flying and swallowing skills, he also has the ability to copy enemy attacks for ever-changing action.

Kirby's Dream Land
08/92
A denizen of the far-off, peaceful planet Pop Star, Kirby became a citizen of Dream Land after defeating King Dedede. Even though he's only about eight inches tall, Kirby is an extremely skilled technician. He has the ability to absorb the powers of his enemies, and his elastic body makes him a versatile adventurer.
Trophy
Kirby [Smash]
(Adventure)
Kirby
Game/move:
B Button: Swallow
Smash B Button: Hammer
Kirby's small size lets him dodge many attacks, but his light weight makes him fly far when struck. Using his ability to inflate, he can jump five times. His Swallow attack creates wild combos; not only can he copy foes' moves, but he'll also put on special hats and mimic their voices. His Hammer is unwieldy but powerful.
Trophy
Kirby [Smash]
(All-Star)
Kirby
Game/move:
Up & B Button: Final Cutter
Down & B Button: Stone
Because of his light weight, Kirby is always in danger of being sent flying, but his ability to puff up and fly allows him to come back from amazing distances. His Final Cutter strikes on the way up and on the way down, and it sends out a beam of force upon landing. Kirby transforms into various objects and crashes down when he uses his Stone technique.
Trophy
Kirby Hat 1
Kirby
Game/move:
Super Smash Bros. Melee

Here's Kirby sporting several results of his Copy ability. In Link's hat he can shoot arrows, while Mario's cap gives him access to Fireballs.

Finally, while wearing the Yoshi hat, Kirby can swallow enemies and turn them into eggs.
Trophy
Kirby Hat 2
Kirby
Game/move:
Super Smash Bros. Melee
12/01
Kirby's got several of his finest hats on here. In Ness's baseball cap, he can use the power of PSI to unleash PK Flash, while Captain Falcon's visor gives him the ability to unleash a huge punch. His adorable Pikachu cap comes complete with stored-up electric charges, allowing him to shock his foes, and the Fox ears come with a matching blaster.
Trophy
Kirby Hat 3
Kirby
Game/move:
Super Smash Bros. Melee
12/01
With all of these hats, Kirby could open his own haberdashery! Peach's crown lets him use Toad, while the Ice Climber parka allows him to shoot ice blocks. Kirby has Fire Breath in the Bowser horns, and he can copy Zelda in both her forms. In Zelda's headdress he can use Nayru's Love, while Sheik's wrap gives him a needle arsenal.
Trophy
Kirby Hat 4
Kirby
Game/move:
Super Smash Bros. Melee
12/01
Looks like Kirby's copied a bunch of hidden characters! In Luigi's hat, he can shoot green Fireballs, while copying Mewtwo gives him the power to throw Shadow Balls. Copying Mr. Game & Watch lets Kirby hurl sausages, and doing the same to Jigglypuff earns him a Rollout move. Marth's hair comes complete with a powerful Shield Breaker move.
Trophy
Kirby Hat 5
Kirby
Game/move:
Super Smash Bros. Melee
12/01
Secret hats galore! In Pichu's hat Kirby can shoot out electricity, while Dr. Mario's headgear gives him Megavitamins. When Kirby wears Falco's beak, he gets to use Falco's powerful Blaster; by the same token, he can fire arrows when in Young Link's cap. When Kirby copies Ganondorf he gets the Warlock Punch, and copying Roy produces a Flare Blade.
Trophy
Fire Kirby
Kirby
Game/move:
Kirby's Adventure
5/93
When Kirby swallows a fire-wielding enemy, he transforms into Fire Kirby. Not only does he breathe fire in this form, but he can also sprout flames on his entire body and damage enemies by crashing into them. Fire Kirby wears the bright red headdress of his enemy Burning Leo. The hat turns into a helpful weapon when thrown.
Trophy
Fighter Kirby
Kirby
Game/move:
Kirby Super Star
9/96
Kirby dons a warrior's headband and becomes a fierce fighter when he swallows an enemy skilled at physical attacks.

The Vulcan Jab is just one of the many techniques Kirby can use thanks to his copying power.
Trophy
Ball Kirby
Kirby
Game/move:
Kirby's Adventure
5/93
When Kirby swallows a ball enemy, he turns into a ball and can bounce off of floors and walls. It's tough to control, but well worth it for the strong attack power it gives Kirby. After his debut in Kirby's Adventure, Ball Kirby has popped up in several more Kirby games, such as Kirby's Pinball Land and Kirby's Block Ball.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

  • Instruction manual: A flying resident of Dreamland who can copy the moves and appearances of foes.[page number needed]
  • Website: This is Kirby, Warp Star-riding citizen of Dream Land who can suck up anything. His copy abilities allow him to steal the powers of other characters!
Yeah... He’s the only character who really hasn’t changed much from his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee. He’s round, pink, and soft.[citation needed]
Trophy
Kirby
BrawlTrophy011.png
Appears in:
GB Kirby's Dream Land
SNES Kirby Super Star
A round, pink ball of cuteness from a distant, peaceful star. He can swallow anything with his gigantic mouth, then spit it out as ammo. He has the handy ability to copy powers and use them as his own. His hovering ability lets him fly through the air with ease. He's so round, he's sometimes treated like a ball.
Trophy
Cook Kirby
BrawlTrophy012.png
Appears in:
Wii Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Kirby in chef's garb. When Kirby throws on his chef's hat, a giant pot appears in the center of the screen. All characters, items, and even long-distance weapons are sucked into the pot. Once they've simmered a bit, food items equal to the number of things in the pot appear. Characters in the mix get blasted straight up out of the pot.
Trophy
Beam Kirby
BrawlTrophy393.png
Appears in:
NES Kirby's Adventure
DS Kirby: Squeak Squad
Kirby in a jester cap...and a supercute Kirby at that. Beam Kirby features a Beam ability, acquired by inhaling Waddle Doo, that allows him to shoot a whiplike beam at his enemies. With a wide attack range, this ability is extremely easy to use, especially for taking out enemies in bunches. In Kirby Super Star, this beam can also be charged and fired.
Trophy
Needle Kirby
BrawlTrophy394.png
Appears in:
NES Kirby's Adventure
DS Kirby: Canvas Curse
A Kirby ability made when Kirby inhales a spiked enemy. When attacking, the needles on Needle Kirby's body extend, giving him a porcupine-like look. This ability provides both offensive and defensive measures against nearby enemies. Plus, needles which extend on Kirby's underside when jumping eliminate any threats on landing.
Trophy
Sword Kirby
BrawlTrophy395.png
Appears in:
NES Kirby's Adventure
DS Kirby: Squeak Squad
A Kirby ability made when Kirby inhales a sword-wielding foe or a sword itself. Doing so provides Kirby with a rapid sword slash, a jumping sword spin, or even the energy-beam blast of the Final Sword. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that this is the #1 Copy Ability in terms of accessibility.
Trophy
Sleep Kirby
BrawlTrophy396.png
Appears in:
NES Kirby's Adventure
DS Kirby: Squeak Squad
Kirby after he copies the ability to sleep peacefully. Kirby takes on this form when he inhales Noddy or other such enemies. Kirby cannot move at all while sleeping, so extra care should be taken not to use this ability when enemies are near. Kirby, in his slumber, tends to drool, and in his panicked awakening, isn't it cute how he forgets to wipe off the drool?
Trophy
Wing Kirby
BrawlTrophy397.png
Appears in:
SNES Kirby Super Star
GCN Kirby Air Ride
Kirby when he inhales a winged enemy and copies its flying ability. This ability can be used to proceed through strong winds that would otherwise be too tough to overcome. Wing Kirby can also perform a plethora of attack moves, such as the Bomber Head, where Kirby dive-bombs onto enemy heads.
Trophy
Fighter Kirby
BrawlTrophy398.png
Appears in:
SNES Kirby Super Star
GBA Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
Kirby when he is skilled in martial arts, especially close-quarters combat. Inhaling brawny challengers like Knuckle Joe will transform Kirby, allowing him to use a bunch of fight moves like Rising Break, the heroic uppercut. His Mega Power Shot in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, which used charged energy to take out faraway enemies, is another Fighter Kirby highlight.
Trophy
Fire Kirby
BrawlTrophy399.png
Appears in:
SNES Kirby Super Star
DS Kirby: Canvas Curse
Kirby when he inhales an enemy who uses fire. Shooting fire from his mouth, Fire Kirby can cook enemies from afar. This ability also allows Kirby to light explosive blocks, fuses, and so on. In Kirby Super Star and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Fire Kirby can roll his burning body into enemies as an attack move.
Trophy
Ice Kirby
BrawlTrophy400.png
Appears in:
NES Kirby's Adventure
SNES Kirby Super Star
Kirby when he copies an enemy with chilly abilities. Ice Kirby can blow an icy wind from his mouth and freeze enemies solid. These frozen enemies can then be knocked into other enemies as an additional means of attack. These blocks are not only effective against enemies but can also be used on terrain such as magma or water.
Trophy
Plasma Kirby
BrawlTrophy401.png
Appears in:
SNES Kirby Super Star
GCN Kirby Air Ride
Kirby when he inhales Plasma Wisps, which glow with a neon green flame. Plasma Kirby can charge the plasma strength up to a maximum level of 5. In Kirby Super Star, your attack--be it a Plasma Laser or a Plasma Wave Cannon--varies with the length of time you charge it.
Trophy
Tornado Kirby
BrawlTrophy402.png
Appears in:
NES Kirby's Adventure
GCN Kirby Air Ride
Kirby when he inhales enemies that fly around like twisters through the sky. When in tornado form, Kirby can spin freely through the air for short amounts of time, clearing out groups of enemies. Tornado Kirby will continue spinning and bouncing violently off of obstacles until he comes to a stop. One drawback of Tornado Kirby is the control difficulty.

  • Snake codec conversation
    • Otacon: Snake! Watch out!
    • Snake: For what? That pink marshmallow?
    • Otacon: That's Kirby, also known as "Kirby from Dream Land." He's from another planet--in other words, an extraterrestrial. He's got a powerful stomach that lets him swallow and digest anything. And he also has a "Copy Ability" that allows him to mimic opponents, steal their moves, and use those moves against them. On top of that, he has the power to fly around the stage, so once he's got you in his sights, there's no place to run.
    • Snake: ...Huh? Yeah, got it. I'll... keep an eye out.

A roly-poly little fella from Dream Land on Planet Popstar. He can inhale pretty much anyone or anything with that big gob of his, then spit them out or copy their abilities. He can copy opponents' standard specials in this game, too! His light weight means he gets launched easily, but with a series of mid-air jumps, recovering's not too tricky. (British English)

Charge up Kirby's Hammer side special to unleash Hammer Flip, a move with serious launch power. Charge it too much, though, and you'll get hurt!

For Kirby's Final Smash, he swings a sword that's waaay bigger than he is. If the first swing hits, he'll keep going with a combo of lightning-fast slices, dealing tons of damage.

Anyway, Plasma Kirby can build up plasma using the +Control Pad and fire it with the B Button. You can look up more about plasma if you want, but firing plasma is what's important here. (American English)
In the Kirby series, Plasma Kirby is Kirby, but with the ability to fire plasma, and mashing the +Control Pad charges him up! "But what exactly is plasma?" you ask. Well, that's a very good question.

That green cap sure does make Kirby look heroic, doesn't it? Maybe wearing it just inspires Kirby, but while he's wearing it, he gets all kinds of neat moves, like Spin Slash, Multisword Attack, and Sword Dive. He's even able to pull off these moves in the air, on the ground, or underwater! (American English)
Kirby looks like a pretty courageous hero in that green cap, doesn't he? Indeed, this Kirby is a master of sword-swishing, fending off enemies with the powerful Spin Slash, the rapid Multisword Attack and the stylish Sword Dive. If that wasn't impressive enough, he can also use these moves on land, in mid-air AND underwater. Beautiful! (British English)

Waddle Doo can fire beams from his eye. Does that make you green with envy? Then inhale him and copy that ability! You'll then be able to shoot beams from a wand, and the attack can even be charged up for greater effectiveness. You can also use a beam to push switches or to grab and toss your foes. (American English)
Ever felt jealous of a Waddle Doo's ability to fire beams from its eye? Well, if you're Kirby, there's really no need - swallow one and you, too, can swing energy beams to your heart's content!

When Kirby first copied the Fire ability he was only able to breathe fire. Nowadays, he can do all sorts of neat things! For example, he can engulf himself in flames and roll forward, burning grass, lighting fuses, melting ice, and so on. What we'd really like him to do, though, is help us make the perfect s'more. Mmmmm. (American English)
Once upon a time, all Fire Kirby could do was shoot flames from his mouth, but he's come a long way since then.

The perfect ability to copy in the summer--Kirby gains freezing breath when he copies the Ice ability. Enemies frozen by his arctic blasts can be launched at other foes too. Perfect for a tough fight or when you need some ice for your iced coffee. Kirby isn't busy saving Dream Land or anything... (American English)
When Kirby has the Ice ability, he can blast enemies with glacial gales to freeze them. He can then kick them into other enemies to take them all out at once!

Kirby normally looks as tasty as a big ol' marshmallow, but he's significantly less appetizing when he's copied the Needle ability. Those pokey spikes won't add any flavor at all. With this ability, Kirby can bash into enemies or launch the spikes at them. A great, easy-to-use ability! (American English)
Kirby's soft, fluffy and just...so huggable! Except when he's got the Needle ability, that is - then it's like there's a hug-free zone all around him. Being covered in spikes comes in handy, though, for rolling into enemies, and even shooting at them! However, whether that really makes up for his loss of huggableness is hard to say...

With his red headband and fierce attitude, Fighter Kirby is ready to take on anything. Like a real martial artist, he can kick and throw his foes into submission.

Palutena's Guidance

  • Pit: It's always easy to pick Kirby out of a crowd.
  • Viridi: Aww! He's so squishy and adorable!
  • Palutena: True, but he's still a formidable foe.
  • Pit: He's got all kinds of moves, and he's top notch at recovering! Does this guy have ANY weaknesses?
  • Viridi: Just what you'd expect: his weight. Or rather, his lack of weight.
  • Pit: So, it shouldn't be hard to send him flying, huh?
  • Palutena: Right. The question is how to do that.
  • Viridi: Oh, that part's easy. Just keep wailing on him. Then we'll see who's stronger: that little puffball... or Kirby!

amiibo

  • Round, pink and surprisingly powerful, Kirby is one of the most iconic heroes in video game history. A denizen of the peaceful planet Pop Star, Kirby became a citizen of Dream Land after defeating King Dedede. He can inhale things with his big mouth, either copying their abilities or spitting them out again.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

  • Super Smash Blog bio: Kirby's ability to copy other fighters is totally unique! While he is light and can be launched easily, he can also jump up to five times in the air, so he has great recovery. Look for his new Stone transformation, too.
