Kirby Hats in Super Smash Bros. Melee

This article is about the different Kirby Hats in Super Smash Bros. Melee. For other uses, see Kirby or Kirby (SSBM). For info on other Kirby Hats, see Kirby Hats (SSBB).

In every Super Smash Bros. game so far, Kirby has had the ability to copy any other characters' standard-special move (besides other Kirbys). When Kirby copies one of his opponents, he will also bear a resemblance of that character. Here is what Kirby looks like when he copies the other characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Kirby Hats trophies

The game provides a series of trophies that briefly summarize the ability of each available hat:

Kirby Hat 1

"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. The Donkey Kong suit offers up a Giant Punch, while Samus's helmet allows Kirby to fire off charged-up energy shots. Finally, while wearing the Yoshi hat, Kirby can swallow enemies and turn them into eggs." (Super Smash Bros. Melee, 12/01)

Kirby Hat 2

"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." (Super Smash Bros. Melee, 12/01)

Kirby Hat 3

"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." (Super Smash Bros. Melee, 12/01)

Kirby Hat 4

"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." (Super Smash Bros. Melee, 12/01)

Kirby Hat 5

"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." (Super Smash Bros. Melee, 12/01)
