List of Copy Abilities

User:Nyargleblargle/DraftAlert In every Super Smash Bros. game so far, Kirby has had the ability to copy any other characters' neutral special moves with his neutral special attack, Inhale. If another Kirby is swallowed, only damage is dealt, but Kirby can steal a Copy Ability off the enemy Kirby, if they had one. When Kirby copies one of his opponents, he will also bear a resemblance of that character in the form of a hat of some kind, which usually show a prominent part of the character copied, and often times mimics their voices/sounds. When performing copied attacks, Kirby will also use the same weapons and poses as their owners.

Kirby can choose to discard the ability at any time by using his taunt, though he may also lose it when taking damage.

Character	Super Smash Bros.	Melee	Special move	Notes
Captain Falcon	File:Kirby cfalcon ssb.jpg		Falcon Punch	Amusingly imitates the famous "Falcon Punch!" shout. Allows Kirby to use Falcon Punch as a horizontal recovery move in the original game.
Donkey Kong	File:Super Smash Bros. (U) snap0085.jpg		Giant Punch	Allows Kirby to turn in the air easier because of charge cancels in the original game. Also sends Kirby into freefall in Melee.
Fox	File:Kirby fox ssb.jpg		Blaster	Gives Kirby the ability to short hop double laser and even short hop triple laser, as a result of Kirby's floatiness.
Jigglypuff	File:Kirby jigglypuff ssb.jpg		Pound	This Kirby hat is whatever colour Kirby is, instead of Jigglypuff pink. This is the only hat in this game to have such a property. It differs from Jigglypuff's Pound in that using this move toward a ledge sends Kirby off of the ledge, being notable for having much higher distance if Kirby leaves the ground at the end of the Pound animation (it is capable of traveling nearly the length of a Dream Land soft platform if spaced correctly).
			Rollout	This Kirby hat is whatever colour Kirby is, instead of Jigglypuff pink. Also, Kirby says "Puu-rin!" (Jigglypuff's Japanese name being Purin) for the move, regardless of the game's current language settings.
Link	File:Kirby link ssb.jpg		Boomerang	Looks similar to Sword Kirby, since the Sword Kirby hat is likely a reference to Link. The attack is similar to Kirby's Cutter ability from his own games. Unlike the original that Link uses, Kirby can throw the boomerang through solid walls if he is touching them, allowing a method of pseudo-sharking on stages like Hyrule Castle (especially from the Greenhouse side) or Dream Land.
			Hero's Bow	Looks similar to Sword Kirby, since the Sword Kirby hat is likely a reference to Link.
Luigi	File:Kirby luigi ssb.jpg		Fireball
Mario	File:Kirby mario ssb.jpg		Fireball	As Kirby is shorter than Mario, his Fireball is likely to vanish faster due to bouncing too much, unless it's used in the air.
Ness	File:Kirby ness ssb.jpg		PK Fire	Kirby also does not wear the hat exactly as Ness does; he wears it backwards, whereas Ness wears it sideways. This may be a reference to Yo-Yo Kirby, Wheel Kirby, and/or Paint Kirby.
			PK Flash
Pikachu	File:Kirby pikachew ssb.jpg		Thunder Jolt
Samus	File:Kirby samus ssb.jpg		Charge Shot
Yoshi	File:Kirby yoshi ssb.jpg		Egg Lay	Kirby's original tongue is still shown while he is attempting to use Egg Lay.
