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	Even in Brawl and Smash 4, Kirby has the same "mohawk" as Falco had in Melee, despite the Brawl Falco model's head rising to a single point. The copied Blaster fails to have the electric effect that the original Blaster has in Brawl.
Ganondorf					Warlock Punch
Greninja					Water Shuriken	Description
Ice Climbers					Ice Shot	Since Kirby does not gain a partner through this ability, only one Ice Shot can be fired.
Ike					Eruption
Ivysaur			File:Kbulbasaur.jpg		Bullet Seed	While Ivysaur can only hold Bullet Seed for 5 seconds, Kirby can hold it significantly longer, allowing him to rack up an even higher amount of damage.
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					Inhale	Kirby can use this to perform the obscure "Kirkirkircide". Also, by copying this version of Inhale, Kirby can only spit his enemies out as stars, similar to the original Kirby's Dream Land. In the Kirby series games, Kirby cannot swallow King Dedede, as he is a boss.
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.
Little Mac					Straight Lunge	Description
Lucario					Aura Sphere	Kirby's Aura Sphere is not linked to his current damage, due to not copying Lucario's Aura ability. As a result, Kirby's Aura Sphere acts as though Lucario were using it at 75% damage.
Lucas					PK Freeze
Lucina					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				Smash 4 Image	Shield Breaker	Lacks transcendent priority in Melee.
Mega Man				Smash 4 Image	Metal Blade	Description
Meta Knight				Smash 4 Image	Mach Tornado	The bottom-most hitbox does not cause aerial opponents to flinch, whereas it does for Meta Knight's version of the attack. This move is a reference to Kirby's Tornado ability in many of his games. This is one of the few copied moves that can render Kirby helpless, since he can't normally enter that state. In the Kirby series games, Kirby cannot swallow Meta Knight, as he is a boss.
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				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.
					PK Flash
Olimar				Smash 4 Image	Pikmin Pluck	Description
Pac-Man				Smash 4 Image	Bonus Fruit	Description
Palutena				Smash 4 Image	Autoreticle	Description
Peach				Smash 4 Image	Toad
Pichu					Thunder Jolt	Includes recoil damage.
Pikachu	File:Kirby pikachew ssb.jpg				Thunder Jolt
Pit				Smash 4 Image	Palutena's Arrow	This hat resembles Cupid Kirby in both the design and the attack that is copied.
R.O.B.				Smash 4 Image	Robo Beam	While R.O.B. makes no sound for this move, Kirby says "BEEP" in a monotone voice. This hat resembles Laser Kirby in both the design and the move that is copied.
Robin				Smash 4 Image	Thunder	Description
Rosalina				Smash 4 Image	Luma Shot	Description
Roy				Smash 4 Image	Flare Blade	Includes recoil damage.
Ryu				Smash 4 Image	Hadoken	Description
Samus	File:Kirby samus ssb.jpg				Charge Shot	Unusually, rather than obtaining his enemy's weapon, Kirby copies Samus' Charge Shot by using his hands for the beam.
Sheik				Smash 4 Image	Needle Storm
Shulk				Smash 4 Image	Monado Arts	Description
Snake			File:SNAAAAAAAKE!.jpg		Hand Grenade	While Kirby has no visible ears, he covers where they would be if a grenade explodes near him, which mimics Snake's behavior. He also walks differently while carrying a grenade that has not been thrown, again imitating Snake. The headband is also similar to the one Fighter Kirby, Suplex Kirby, and Backdrop wear.
Sonic				Smash 4 Image	Homing Attack	Kirby imitates Sonic's voice while doing the move.
Squirtle					Water Gun
Toon Link				Smash 4 Image	Hero's Bow	Like Link, this Kirby hat looks like the one obtained with the Sword ability.
Villager				Smash 4 Image	Pocket	Description
Wario				Smash 4 Image	Chomp	Kirby gets the biker helmet regardless of whether the Wario he swallows is wearing it or his classic "W" cap. In addition, he also says "AH-UM!" in an amusing voice, something Wario doesn't do. Kirby can use this to perform the obscure "Kirbiocide".
Wii Fit Trainer				Smash 4 Image	Sun Salutation	Description
Wolf					Blaster
Yoshi	File:Kirby yoshi ssb.jpg				Egg Lay	Oddly enough, Kirby grows a second tongue to use Egg Lay. In SSB4, the egg that Kirby lays matches the color of the Yoshi he copied.
Young Link					Fire Bow	Like Link, this Kirby hat looks like the one obtained with the Sword ability.
Zelda				Smash 4 Image	Nayru's Love	The hat is taken from Zelda's younger version from "Ocarina of Time".
Zero Suit Samus				Smash 4 Image	Paralyzer
