Kirby Star Allies Copy Abilities

Best Kirby Copy Abilities — *Image: Nintendo / HAL Laboratory / Nintendo Life*

In 30 years of Kirby, information technology's fair to say he's seen a wide swathe of powerful abilities come his way. And here at Nintendo Life, with the release of Kirby and the Forgotten Land fast approaching, we've decided that it's fourth dimension someone picked the 20 best and made a list of them, darn it. After all, information technology's the least nosotros could exercise after three long decades of HAL'southward versatile hero.

Don't see your favourite here? Well, diverseness is the spice of life, after all – audio off in the comments! Unless your favourite is Cutter or something similarly ho-hum, in which case please don't bother (jokes!). Anyhow, enough chirping – let's get down to business. Equally Kirby always says: "Poyo! Hiiiii!! Rnnnngh!!!"

Best Kirby Games Of All Fourth dimension

20. Mini

First advent: Kirby & the Amazing Mirror

Deadline useless? Check. Situational to the indicate of information technology being the near bones lock > cardinal scenario imaginable? Check. In the running for the worst re-create ability in the unabridged series in terms of its sheer lack of versatility? Cheque.

But we offer this hopefully compelling counterargument: KIRBY'S GONE ALL SMALL!!!

19. Needle

First appearance: Kirby's Adventure

Honestly? This is a pretty unremarkable ability, merely we nominated information technology anyhow because of the way that the needles PIERCE THROUGH KIRBY in its countdown appearance. Certain, later information technology became about wearing a spiky lid (boring!) but that original NES Kirby was difficult to the core.

eighteen. Parasol

Beginning appearance: Kirby's Adventure

There'due south just something nice well-nigh Kirby taking one of his little strolls while carrying his gorgeous crimson parasol, isn't at that place? Information technology helps that you lot can employ to it switch enemies off, bam, pow... sorry, lord's day was in my eyes.

It'southward also cute the way Kirby floats slowly earthward, brolly held aloft.

17. Sleep

First advent: Kirby's Hazard

Doesn't the Kirbmeister just look as cute every bit the dickens having a lovely little kip there right in the middle of the phase? He'south such a precious picayune mite. You could employ this one to regain health in Squeak Team, though nosotros often fell comatose for real playing that.

16. Hello-Bound

16 Hi Jump — *Image: Nintendo / HAL Laboratory*

First appearance: Kirby'southward Risk

Information technology may seem like an odd choice, but what Hi-Jump lacks in practicality – Kirby tin can fly indefinitely, for goodness' sake – it makes up for past existence enormous fun to apply. A quick tap of the button and Kirby launches off similar a rocket, exploding anything in his path. Brilliant.

15. Cleaning

First appearance: Kirby's Dream State 3

The Broom Hatter enemy was a staple of the Kirby series long earlier Dream Land iii, only it never gave upwards that broom until this game. Excellently, this sees Kirby begin sweeping, and nosotros're non talking about some Cobra Kai stuff. Combining it with animal friend Coo, memorably, turns him into a feather squeegee.

fourteen. Ball

14 Ball — *Image: Nintendo / HAL Laboratory*

First appearance: Kirby's Adventure

Just when you thought Kirby couldn't exist any rounder or more adorable, finally we get a Kirby you can dunk. No, stop laughing at the back.

Kirby here transforms into, well, a large pinkish ball, and ricochets off the walls like he'southward had too many Frosties.

13. Axle

13 Beam — *Epitome: Nintendo / HAL Laboratory*

First appearance: Kirby'southward Adventure

Iconic for many reasons, most prominently the fact that for many players this was their get-go exposure to a Kirby ability of whatsoever kind, its owner (Waddle Doo) being present in the opening phase of Kirby'south Adventure.

Hmm, nosotros say "many players", but nosotros suppose information technology's just "sometime people". Sigh.

12. Sword

Starting time appearance: Kirby's Adventure

The quintessential Kirby power, sword gives the pinkish puffball (© all games media ever) a great big chopper. In an agreeable bit of cross-franchisery, having full health lets the sword shoot a lilliputian beam project of itself.

And where have we seen that earlier? Yes, that'due south correct – Elden Ring.

11. Artist

First appearance: Kirby Star Allies

This one turns Kirby into a sort of Damien Hirst figure, though perhaps marginally more impressive given that his creations come up to life and impale for him. It'south like he squinted at the Pigment Roller boss from Kirby's Adventure and went "anything you can practise…"
