Copy Ability Wiki

Kirby's signature ability to acquire the special abilities of the enemies he swallows, usually accompanied by a change in costume or appearance.

Certain bosses, such as Miracle Matter or Magolor Soul, are able to use copy abilities as well.

In Kirby 64, Kirby is able to combine two copy abilities to form a Power Combo.

In Super Smash Bros., Kirby's copy abilities are instead themed after the opponent he inhaled, with a unique hat and the ability to use their neutral special attack. Though it should be noted that some of the copy abilities from his own games are incorporated into his base moveset. The moveset in question has amusingly become a copy ability in its own right, appearing in games such as Kirby & The Amazing Mirror and Kirby: Planet Robobot.
