After inhaling a character, pressing down or the special attack button will make Kirby swallow them and receive a corresponding Copy Ability, which is the victim's neutral special move. Kirby receives a unique hat depending on the Copy Ability received, such as Mario's hat if he swallows [[Mario]]. Kirby may lose his Copy Ability being attacked enough or KO'd. He can also discard it by [[taunt]]ing. If a Kirby attempts to copy another Kirby that has no Copy Ability, the swallowed Kirby will pop out normally, though a different sound will play. If a Kirby swallows a Kirby with a Copy Ability, he will steal it away from them. | After inhaling a character, pressing down or the special attack button will make Kirby swallow them and receive a corresponding [[Copy Ability]], which is the victim's neutral special move.

Because Kirby is smaller than most of the characters he inhales, his copied moves are sometimes inferior versions to theirs due to his lower reach and smaller hitboxes. This is typically applicable for physical neutral special attacks, as exemplified by moves such as the [[Giant Punch]], as well as certain projectiles; for example Kirby's lower release point causes Mario's [[Fireball]]s to bounce faster and therefore last a shorter amount of time. On the other hand, his small size and unique moveset allow for interesting setups with some copied moves. For example, Kirby's relatively lower height prevents some characters from ducking under shots fired from the [[Blaster]]. He can also [[laser lock]] more characters than Falco can for similar reasons. | Because Kirby is smaller than most of the characters he inhales, his copied moves are sometimes inferior versions to theirs due to his lower reach and smaller hitboxes.
