Origin
Ultra Sword is a Super Ability from Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Super Abilities are obtained by copying "Super" versions of enemies and expire upon finishing the level or running out the ability's time limit. Ultra Sword specifically involves Kirby swinging a huge sword in front of him to deal enormous damage to any enemies within range, though it can also randomly appear as a meat cleaver, a wooden training sword, a fan, Meta Knight's Galaxia, or a large blue fish. Like all Super Abilities, it destroys terrain marked with star emblems and allows access to alternate dimensions where Sphere Doomers are found. Ultra Sword also appears in two boss battles, where it must be used to break the boss's shield and subsequently land the final hit; in these instances, the sword also grows larger just before the final strike. However, the actual attack is executed differently, with Kirby striking with three different swords along with the standard Ultra Sword, for a total of five hits.

Trivia
- Inhaling Shulk and activating any of the Monado Arts allows Kirby to pass on its effects to Ultra Sword: Buster deals 50% and lower knockback than the standard Final Smash, while Smash deals 20% and higher knockback. This makes Monado Arts the only copy ability to affect Kirby's Final Smash. As is the case with Shulk, this must be done by selecting the Monado Art prior to obtaining the Smash Ball, as at that point pressing the special move button will activate the Final Smash instead.
- In the Super Smash Bros. Direct, Ultra Sword was shown to have a paralyzing effect; in the final game, however, opponents just spin in a circle.
- Unlike other trapping multi-hit Final Smashes, each hit from Ultra Sword will cause a "Deadly Blow" red spark effect if the opponent is at an extremely high percentage (e.g. 999%).
