In every ''Super Smash Bros.'' game, [[Kirby]] has the ability to copy another character's [[neutral special move]] with his own [[neutral special move]], {{b|Inhale|Kirby}}. If Kirby swallows another Kirby, only damage is dealt, but if he swallows another Kirby that has a Copy Ability, it can be stolen. When Kirby copies an opponent, he will also bear a resemblance of that character, usually in the form of a hat which displays a prominent visual part of the character copied. When performing copied attacks, Kirby often mimics their voices or sounds as well as their poses, and uses the same weapons as their owners. Aside from the obvious range differences, copied attacks are functionally identical to the originals except where noted.

The version of Pikmin Throw that Kirby performs correlates with whichever [[side special move]] of Kirby's is set via [[character customization]]. Namely, if Kirby's side special move is set to [[Hammer Bash]], his second side special, Kirby will perform [[Sticky Pikmin Throw]], Olimar's second side special. The same is true if Kirby uses his third side special [[Giant Hammer]], which will result in him performing Olimar's third side special, [[Tackle Pikmin Throw]]. However, this is less noticeable as Kirby's usage of the move is already quite similar to Tackle Pikmin Throw.

Revision as of 14:16, June 14, 2018

In every Super Smash Bros. game, Kirby has the ability to copy another character's neutral special move with his own neutral special move, Inhale. If Kirby swallows another Kirby, only damage is dealt, but if he swallows another Kirby that has a Copy Ability, it can be stolen. When Kirby copies an opponent, he will also bear a resemblance of that character, usually in the form of a hat which displays a prominent visual part of the character copied. When performing copied attacks, Kirby often mimics their voices or sounds as well as their poses, and uses the same weapons as their owners. Aside from the obvious range differences, copied attacks are functionally identical to the originals except where noted.

Kirby can discard the ability at any time by taunting, though he may also lose it when taking damage and will lose it if he is KO'd. Also, anything spawned by the ability will vanish if Kirby loses it. For example, if Kirby tosses a Metal Blade onto the ground, picks it up, and taunts, the blade will vanish. Kirby will also lose his ability if the inhaled character's damage meter vanishes, such as in Smash 4's All-Star Mode or The Ultimate Battle.

Super Smash Bros. 4 introduced custom moves. Regardless of whether a neutral special has been customized or not, Kirby will only copy the default version of the move. This applies with Palutena and the Mii Fighters' neutral specials as well.

Character Super Smash Bros. Melee Brawl SSB4 SSBU Special move Notes
Bayonetta KirbyBayonetta3DS.jpg
Bayonetta Kirby.jpg		 Bullet Climax Although Bayonetta will always aim in the same place, Kirby's shots from the handguns are lower than the shots from his feet.
Bowser Kirbybowser.png Bowserkirby.jpg KirbyBowserHair3DS.jpg
Kirby Bowser Wii U.jpeg		 Fire Breath Kirby can flame cancel in all versions of Melee, while Bowser can only do so in NTSC 1.0 and 1.1. Fire breathing pose resembles the one used by Fire Kirby's basic move.
Bowser Jr. KirbyBowserJrHat.jpg
Kirby Bowser Jr Wii U.jpeg		 Clown Cannon
Captain Falcon File:Kirby cfalcon ssb.jpg Kirbyfalcon.png Kfalconpunch.jpg KirbyHatFalcon.jpg
Kirby Captain Falcon Wii U.jpeg		 Falcon Punch In SSB, Kirby can use the Falcon Punch as a horizontal recovery move. In Brawl, throwing it immediately after a jump gives him large boost upward.
Charizard Kcharizard.jpg KirbyCharizard3DS.jpeg
Kirby Charizard Wii U.jpeg		 Flamethrower
Cloud KirbyCloud3DS.jpg
Kirby Cloud Wii U.jpg		 Blade Beam Does not gain Cloud's Limit Gauge and thus cannot perform the Limit Break version of the move.
Corrin KirbyCorrin3DS.jpg
Corrin Kirby.jpg		 Dragon Fang Shot
Daisy Toad
Dark Pit KirbyDarkPitCopy.jpg
Kirby Dark Pit Wii U.jpeg		 Silver Bow Prior to version 1.0.5 (3DS only), if Kirby uses the move at the end of his forward, back, or up throw, a glitch will occur in which he floats in the air until he stops charging the move.
Diddy Kong Kdiddy.jpg KirbyDiddyKong3DS.jpeg
Kirby Diddy Kong Wii U.jpeg		 Peanut Popgun
Donkey Kong File:Kirby Donkey Kong SSB.jpg Kirbydk.png Kdk.jpg KirbyDonkeyKong3DS.jpeg
Kirby Donkey Kong Wii U.jpeg		 Giant Punch In SSB, Kirby can charge-cancel the wind-up to turn more easily in the air.
Dr. Mario Dr Mario Kirby.png KirbyDrMarioHat.jpg
Kirby Dr Mario Wii U.jpeg		 Megavitamins In Melee, Kirby's Megavitamins make the Koopa Shell sound upon impact. Resembles the Doctor Ability in Kirby: Planet Robobot.
Duck Hunt KirbyDuckHuntHat.jpg
Kirby Duck Hunt Wii U.jpeg		 Trick Shot
Fox File:Kirby fox ssb.jpg Fox KirbySSBM.png Kfox.jpg KirbyFoxHat.jpg
Kirby Fox Wii U.jpeg		 Blaster Gives Kirby the ability to short hop double laser and even short hop triple laser as a result of his floatiness.
Falco Kirbyfalco.png Falcokirby.jpg KirbyFalco3DS.jpeg
Kirby Falco Wii U.jpeg		 Blaster Kirby sports the same "mohawk" Falco had in Melee. In Brawl, shots fired from the copied Blaster do not have the electric effect that Falco's Blaster has.
Ganondorf Ganondorf KirbySSBM.png Kganon.jpg KirbyGanondorf3DS.jpeg
Kirby Ganondorf Wii U.jpeg		 Warlock Punch
Greninja KirbyGreninja3DS.jpeg
Kirby Greninja Wii U.jpeg		 Water Shuriken
Ice Climbers Kirbyiceclimber.png Kpopo.jpg Ice Shot Kirby does not gain a partner through this ability, so he can only fire one block of ice at a time. Resembles Freeze Kirby.
Ike Ikekirby.jpg KirbyIkeHat.jpg
Kirby Ike Wii U.jpeg		 Eruption
Inkling Splattershot As Kirby cannot become a squid or regenerate ink unlike the Inkling, Kirby loses the ability once the ink is used up.
Ivysaur KIvysaur.jpg Bullet Seed While Ivysaur can only hold Bullet Seed for 5 seconds, Kirby can hold it significantly longer, allowing him to rack up higher amounts of damage.
Jigglypuff File:Kirby jigglypuff ssb.jpg Kirbyjiiggly.png Kjiggly.jpg KirbyJigglypuff3DS.jpeg
Kirby Jigglypuff Wii U.jpeg		 Pound SSB64 Icon.png Differs from Jigglypuff's Pound in that using this move toward a ledge sends Kirby off of the ledge, and it is 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 SSBM Icon.pngSSBB Icon.pngSSB4 Icon.png Regardless of the game's current language settings, Kirby says "Purin," Jigglypuff's Japanese name, upon performing this move. In SSB4, Kirby can move left and right in midair after hitting an opponent with Rollout, due to having a higher fall speed than Jigglypuff. He also rebounds further backwards, due to his air friction being lower than Jigglypuff's.
King Dedede Kirbydedede.jpg KirbyKingDedede3Ds.jpeg
Kirby King Dedede Wii U.jpeg		 Inhale Kirby can use this to perform the obscure "Kirkirkircide".
Link File:Kirby link ssb.jpg Kirbylink.png Klink2.jpg KirbyLink3DS.jpeg
Kirby Link Wii U.jpeg		 Boomerang SSB64 Icon.png Unlike Link's Boomerang, Kirby can throw it through solid walls if he is touching them, allowing for pseudo-sharking on stages like Hyrule Castle (especially from the Greenhouse side) or Dream Land. Resembles Sword Kirby.
Hero's Bow SSBM Icon.pngSSBB Icon.pngSSB4 Icon.png Resembles Sword Kirby.
Little Mac KirbyLittleMac3DS.jpeg
Kirby Little Mac Wii U.jpeg		 Straight Lunge Does not gain Little Mac's Power Meter and thus cannot perform the KO Uppercut. Also, if Kirby swallows Little Mac in his wireframe costume, his Straight Lunge will utilize the 8-bit sound effects unique to Wireframe Mac.
Lucario Klucario.jpg KirbyLucario3DS.jpeg
Kirby Lucario Wii U.jpeg		 Aura Sphere Kirby's Aura Sphere is not linked to his current damage, due to not copying Lucario's aura. As a result, Kirby's Aura Sphere acts as though Lucario were using it at 75%.

However, should Kirby's damage output be significantly augmented in some way, such as with the use of custom equipment or Amiibo power level, the Aura Sphere he uses will emit the characteristic sound it does when Lucario charges it at high percentages.

Lucas Klucas.jpg KirbyLucas3DS.jpg
KirbyPKFreezeWiiU.JPG		 PK Freeze
Lucina KirbyLucina3DS.jpeg
Kirby Lucina Wii U.jpeg		 Shield Breaker Kirby wears the mask used by Lucina in her guise as "Marth", which she herself dons temporarily for her on-screen appearance and down taunt.
Luigi File:Kirby luigi ssb.jpg Kirbyluigi.png Kluigi.jpg KirbyLuigiHat.jpg
Kirby Luigi Wii U.jpeg		 Fireball
Mario File:Kirby mario ssb.jpg Mario Kirby.png KMario1.jpg KirbyMario3DS.jpeg
Kirby Mario Wii U.jpeg		 Fireball As Kirby is shorter than Mario, his Fireball is likely to vanish quicker if thrown while on the ground due to bouncing more often.
Marth Kirbymarth.png Marthkirby.jpg KirbyMarth3DS.jpeg
Kirby Marth Wii U.jpeg		 Shield Breaker Lacks transcendent priority in Melee.
Mega Man KirbyMegaManHat.jpg
Kirby Mega Man Wii U.jpeg		 Metal Blade
Meta Knight Kmeta.jpg Meta Knight copy ability.jpg
Kirby Meta Knight Wii U.jpeg		 Mach Tornado Unlike Meta Knight's version of the attack, the bottom-most hitbox does not cause aerial opponents to flinch. Kirby's eyes while wearing the mask are light green in Brawl and yellow in SSB4. The green coloration is due to the mask giving off a yellow tint to Kirby's blue eyes and Meta Knight's white eyes. Kirby's Mach Tornado only does half the damage of Meta Knight's. Functionally resembles Kirby's Tornado ability.
Mewtwo Mewtwo Kirby.png KirbyMewtwoSmash43DS.jpg
KirbyMewtwoSmash4WiiU.jpg		 Shadow Ball As Kirby is much shorter than Mewtwo, his Shadow Ball is more likely to collide with the ground unless Kirby jumps first in Melee.
Mii Brawler Kirby Brawler Wii U.jpeg Shot Put
Mii Gunner Kirby Gunner Wii U.jpeg Charge Blast
Mii Swordfighter Kirby Swordfighter Wii U.jpeg Gale Strike
Mr. Game & Watch Game and Watch Kirby.png G&wkirby.jpg KirbyMrGameAndWatch3DS.jpeg
Kirby Mr Game & Watch Wii U.jpeg		 Chef Kirby will only change into 2D like Mr. Game & Watch while performing Chef; at all other times Kirby remains a 3D model.
Ness File:Kirby ness ssb.jpg Kirbyness.png Kness.jpg KirbyNess3DS.jpeg
Kirby Ness Wii U.jpeg		 PK Fire SSB64 Icon.png Kirby wears a cap backwards, similarly to Yo-Yo Kirby, Wheel Kirby, and Paint Kirby. Also resembles the ESP Ability in Kirby: Planet Robobot, which has a color-inverted version of Ness's hat turned to the right.
PK Flash SSBM Icon.pngSSBB Icon.pngSSB4 Icon.png
Olimar Kolimar.jpg KirbyOlimar3DS.jpeg
Kirby Olimar Wii U.jpeg		 Pikmin Pluck and Pikmin Throw Kirby's version of this move is specially adapted for him due to Pikmin not being completely tied into his moveset, unlike Olimar. Kirby will pluck a Pikmin and immediately throw it, hitting opponents for minor damage and dying once it hits the ground. Kirby pulls Pikmin in the same order that Olimar does.

The version of Pikmin Throw that Kirby performs correlates with whichever side special move of Kirby's is set via character customization. Namely, if Kirby's side special move is set to Hammer Bash, his second side special, Kirby will perform Sticky Pikmin Throw, Olimar's second side special. The same is true if Kirby uses his third side special Giant Hammer, which will result in him performing Olimar's third side special, Tackle Pikmin Throw. However, this is less noticeable as Kirby's usage of the move is already quite similar to Tackle Pikmin Throw.
