==Origin==

The Superspicy Curry first appeared as an item in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. If [[Kirby]] consumed the item, he would temporarily be given the ability to spit individual fireballs at his enemies, referencing the spiciness of its [[wikipedia:Curry|real-world counterpart]]; ''Kirby's Dream Land'' did not allow Kirby to copy the abilities of his enemies, and as such, the item can be considered a precursor to his trademark ability to copy abilities. To date, the item has not reappeared in the series, primarily because the item's use has been superseded by Fire Kirby and other transformations. In the port included in ''Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition'', the instruction manual on the Home Menu simply calls it "Hot Food".

The Superspicy Curry was also in the episode "A Spice Odyssey" ("The Hot Shot Chef" in Japan) from the ''Kirby'' anime, ''[[wikirby:Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' (called ''Hoshi no Kabi'', meaning ''Kirby of the Stars'', in Japan), though it was renamed ''Toxic Atomic Curry''. Unlike how it worked in ''Kirby's Dream Land'', whenever someone ate the curry, they would release an uncontrollable stream of fire from their mouth rather than multiple fireballs; in the episode, Kirby uses the curry in order to defeat the Demon Beast of Monsieur Goan.
