Kirby Hats (SSBB)

This article is about the different Kirby hats in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. For other uses, see Kirby. To see the move, see Inhale.

In every Super Smash Bros. game so far, Kirby has had the ability to copy any other characters' standard-special move with his Neutral-B 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 oftentimes minics their voices/sounds.

Kirby can choose to discard the ability at any time by using one of his taunts, though he may also lose it when taking damage. Below are Kirby's appearances when he copies the other characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Character	Features Obtained		Special Move	Notes
Bowser		Bowser's hair, eyebrows, and horns	Fire Breath	While breathing fire, Kirby takes the same pose as if he was breathing fire as Fire Kirby.
Captain Falcon		C. Falcon's helmet (with transparent visor)	Falcon Punch	Amusingly imitates the infamous "Falcon Punch!" shout. This imitation has become infamous in its own right.
Diddy Kong		Diddy Kong's Nintendo cap	Peanut Popgun
Donkey Kong		Donkey Kong's fur and hair	Giant Punch
Falco		Falco's beak, "mohawk", and reddish eye colouring	Blaster	Even though though he copies falco in brawl, he has the same "mohawk" as he had in melee, as opposed to brawl with the single point.
Fox		Fox's ears and helmet	Blaster
Ganondorf		Ganondorf's hair, eyebrows, and head ornament	Warlock Punch
Ice Climbers		Popo's blue parka	Ice Shot	Less effective than the original since Kirby never has a partner. Also, the costume is identical to Freeze Kirby.
Ike		Ike's hair and headband	Eruption
Jigglypuff		Jigglypuff's ears and hair tuft	Rollout	This Kirby hat is whatever colour Kirby is, instead of Jigglypuff pink. Also, Kirby says "Puu-rin!" for the move (Jigglypuff's Japanese name being Purin), regardless of the game being set to English.
King Dedede		King Dedede's hat	Inhale
Link		Link's floppy cap	Hero's Bow	Looks similar to Sword Kirby, since the Sword Kirby hat is likely a reference to Link.
Lucario		A hat of Lucario's ears and "blindfold"	Aura Sphere	Kirby's Aura Sphere is not linked to his current damage like Lucario's. It stays about as powerful as a 70%-80% Aura Sphere from Lucario.
Lucas		Lucas's hair	PK Freeze
Luigi		Luigi's cap	Fireball
Mario		Mario's cap	Fireball
Marth		Marth's hair and tiara	Shield Breaker
Meta Knight		Meta Knight's mask (with greenish eyes) and small wings	Mach Tornado
Mr. Game & Watch		Mr. Game & Watch's colour palette of black with a grey outline; also has white eyes and mouth	Chef
Ness		Ness's baseball cap	PK Flash	Kirby also does not wear the hat exactly as Ness does, he wears it backwards. This may be a reference to Yo-Yo Kirby, Wheel Kirby, and/or Paint Kirby.
Olimar		Olimar's large nose and helmet antenna	Pikmin Pluck/Pikmin Throw	Since Pikmin are completely tied into Olimar's moveset, Kirby cannot use Pikmin Pluck correctly. Instead, he plucks a Pikmin and immediately throws it. The Pikmin hits opponents for minor damage (1% Red, 2% Yellow, 3% Blue, 4% Purple, 5% White) and dies once it hits the ground.
Peach		Peach's crown	Toad
Pikachu		A hat of Pikachu's head and tail	Thunder Jolt
Pit		Pit's "crown" and wings	Palutena Arrow	Resembles Cupid Kirby.
Pokémon Trainer		Squirtle's shell and tail	Water Gun
	File:Kbulbasaur.jpg	A hat of Ivysaur's head, bulb, and leaves	Bullet Seed
		A hat of Charizard's head and wings	Flamethrower
R.O.B.		R.O.B.'s eyes and diode	Robo Beam	While R.O.B. makes no sound for this move, Kirby says "BEEP" in a monotone voice.
Samus		Samus' helmet (covering whole body) with transparent visor	Charge Shot
Sheik		Sheik's headcloth and hair	Needle Storm
Snake	File:SNAAAAAAAKE!.jpg	Snake's headband and facial hair	Hand Grenade	While Kirby has no ears, he covers where they would be if a grenade explodes near him.
Sonic		A hat of Sonic's ears and quills	Homing Attack
Toon Link		Toon Link's floppy cap	Hero's Bow	Like Link, this Kirby hat looks like Sword Kirby.
Wario		Wario's biker helmet	Chomp	Kirby gets the biker helmet regardless of whether the Wario he swallows is wearing his classic "W" cap.
Wolf		Wolf's ears and eyepatch	Blaster
Yoshi		A hat of Yoshi's head	Egg Lay	Oddly enough, Kirby grows a second tongue to use Egg Lay.
Zelda		Young Zelda's headdress	Nayru's Love
Zero Suit Samus		ZSS's ponytail	Paralyzer
