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	Brawl	SSB4	Special move	Notes
Bowser					Fire Breath	Kirby can flame cancel in all versions of the Melee, while Bowser can only do so in NTSC 1.0 and 1.1.
Bowser Jr.					Clown Cannon	The cannon extends from Kirby's mouth. When inhaling and swallowing a Koopaling, Kirby will still gain Bowser Jr.'s bandanna.
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. In Smash 4, Kirby can use either hand while doing Falcon Punch, as opposed to Captain Falcon, who only uses his right hand.
Charizard					Flamethrower
Dark Pit					Silver Bow
Diddy Kong					Peanut Popgun
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.
Dr. Mario					Megavitamins	Kirby's Megavitamins don't imitate the full sound effects of Dr. Mario's, instead only making the Koopa Shell sound on impact.
Duck Hunt					Trick Shot	As with Duck Hunt, shooting the can too close to Kirby will cause him to cover his dog ears for comedic effect.
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.
Falco					Blaster
Ganondorf			Brawl Image	Smash 4 Image	Warlock Punch
Greninja			Brawl Image	Smash 4 Image	Water Shuriken	Description
Ice Climbers			Brawl Image		Ice Shot	Since Kirby does not gain a partner through this ability, only one Ice Shot can be fired.
Ike			Brawl Image	Smash 4 Image	Eruption	Description
Ivysaur			Brawl Image	Smash 4 Image	Bullet Seed	Description
Jigglypuff	File:Kirby jigglypuff ssb.jpg				Pound	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	Kirby says "Puu-rin!" (Jigglypuff's Japanese name being Purin) for the move, regardless of the game's current language settings.
King Dedede			Brawl Image	Smash 4 Image	Inhale	Description
Link	File:Kirby link ssb.jpg				Boomerang	Looks similar to Sword Kirby. Unlike the Boomerang Link uses, Kirby can throw the it 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.
Little Mac				Smash 4 Image	Straight Lunge	Description
Lucario			Brawl Image	Smash 4 Image	Aura Sphere	Description
Lucas			Brawl Image	Smash 4 Image	PK Freeze	Description
Lucina				Smash 4 Image	Shield Breaker	Description
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 if thrown while on the ground due to bouncing more often.
Marth			Brawl Image	Smash 4 Image	Shield Breaker	Lacks transcendent priority.
Mega Man			Brawl Image	Smash 4 Image	Metal Blade	Description
Meta Knight			Brawl Image	Smash 4 Image	Mach Tornado	Description
Mewtwo				Smash 4 Image	Shadow Ball	As Kirby is much shorter than Mewtwo, his Shadow Ball is more likely to collide with the ground unless Kirby jumps first.
Mii Brawler				Smash 4 Image	Shot Put	Description
Mii Gunner				Smash 4 Image	Charge Blast	Description
Mii Swordfighter				Smash 4 Image	Gale Strike	Description
Mr. Game & Watch			Brawl Image	Smash 4 Image	Chef	Kirby won't change into 2D like Mr Game and Watch.
Ness	File:Kirby ness ssb.jpg				PK Fire	Kirby wears Ness' cap backwards, which may be a reference to Yo-Yo Kirby, Wheel Kirby, and/or Paint Kirby.
