Beam Kirby (disambiguation)

Beam Kirby is Kirby after he ingests and copies Waddle Doo's power. In this form, Kirby's body turns a shade of yellow, dons a jester cap, and wields a magic wand with a small crystal ball at the end. This form first debuted in Kirby's Adventure and appears on the game's box art for Kirby Super Star. Interestingly, his body color is the standard pink while wearing the Beam Kirby getup on the box art while Kirby still appears yellow when he receives the Beam Kirby power in the game. His attacks in this form are generally all projectile-based as Kirby uses his wand. He can fires sparks that mimic Waddle Doo's own attack, charge the wand to fire a large fireball-like blast, or conjure strands of blue beads used to whip enemies.

While Kirby can obtain certain powers through copying different enemies in Kirby Super Star, the Beam power is solely copied from Waddle Doos (power pickup "stands" and Deluxe Copy Abilities aside).

In Super Smash Brothers Brawl, the Beam Kirby power is found only as a trophy. While Kirby is able to ingest Waddles Doos thrown by King Dedede's side special move, it gives Kirby no powers as he simply swallows the Waddle Doo.

Trophy Description

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.
