Kirby Hats in Super Smash Bros. Melee

This article is about the different Kirby Hats in Super Smash Bros. Melee. For other uses, see Kirby or Kirby (SSBM). For info on other Kirby Hats, see Kirby Hats (SSBB).

In every Super Smash Bros. game so far, Kirby has had the ability to copy any other characters' standard-special move (besides other Kirbys). When Kirby copies one of his opponents, he will also bear a resemblance of that character. Here is what Kirby looks like when he copies the other characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

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. He can also perform the Reverse Falcon Punch.
Donkey Kong		Donkey Kong's fur and hair	Giant Punch
Dr. Mario	File:DrMarioKirby.jpg	Mario's cap	Megavitamin
Falco		Falco's beak, "mohawk", and reddish eye colouring	Blaster
Fox	File:Kirbyfoxmelee.jpg	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 as he appeared in later Kirby games.
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.
Link		Link's floppy cap	Hero's Bow	Looks similar to Sword Kirby, since the Sword Kirby hat is likely a reference to Link.
Luigi		Luigi's cap	Fireball
Mario	File:Kirbymariohat.jpg	Mario's cap	Fireball
Marth		Marth's hair and tiara	Shield Breaker
Mewtwo	File:Mew2Kirby.jpg	Mewtwo's ears and tail	Shadow Ball
Mr. Game & Watch		Mr. Game & Watch's colour palette of black with a grey outline; also has white eyes and mouth	Chef	This the only one where Kirby doesn't gain a clothing garment or physical attribute.
Ness		Ness's baseball cap	PK Flash	Kirby also does not wear the hat exactly as Ness does; he wears it backwards, whereas Ness wears it sideways. This may be a reference to Yo-Yo Kirby, Wheel Kirby, and/or Paint Kirby.
Peach		Peach's crown	Toad
Pikachu	File:Kirbypikapika.jpg	A hat of Pikachu's head and tail	Thunder Jolt
Pichu		A hat of Pichu's head and tail	Thunder Jolt
Roy		Roy's hair	Flare Blade
Samus		Samus' helmet (covering whole body) with transparent visor	Charge Shot
Sheik		Sheik's headcloth and hair	Needle Storm
Yoshi		A hat of Yoshi's head	Egg Lay	Oddly enough, Kirby grows a second tongue to use Egg Lay.
Young Link		Young Link's floppy cap	Fire Bow	Like Link, this Kirby hat looks like Sword Kirby.
Zelda		Young Zelda's headdress	Nayru's Love	This is the only Kirby hat in SSBB that isn't based on the character model he is copying. It is taken from Zelda's younger version from "Ocarina of Time"

Kirby Hats trophies

The game provides a series of trophies that briefly summarize the ability of each available hat:

Kirby Hat 1

"Here's Kirby sporting several results of his Copy ability. In Link's hat he can shoot arrows, while Mario's cap gives him access to Fireballs. The Donkey Kong suit offers up a Giant Punch, while Samus's helmet allows Kirby to fire off charged-up energy shots. Finally, while wearing the Yoshi hat, Kirby can swallow enemies and turn them into eggs." (Super Smash Bros. Melee, 12/01)

Kirby Hat 2

"Kirby's got several of his finest hats on here. In Ness's baseball cap, he can use the power of PSI to unleash PK Flash, while Captain Falcon's visor gives him the ability to unleash a huge punch. His adorable Pikachu cap comes complete with stored-up electric charges, allowing him to shock his foes, and the Fox ears come with a matching blaster." (Super Smash Bros. Melee, 12/01)

Kirby Hat 3

"With all of these hats, Kirby could open his own haberdashery! Peach's crown lets him use Toad, while the Ice Climber parka allows him to shoot ice blocks. Kirby has Fire Breath in the Bowser horns, and he can copy Zelda in both her forms. In Zelda's headdress he can use Nayru's Love, while Sheik's wrap gives him a needle arsenal." (Super Smash Bros. Melee, 12/01)

Kirby Hat 4

"Looks like Kirby's copied a bunch of hidden characters! In Luigi's hat, he can shoot green Fireballs, while copying Mewtwo gives him the power to throw Shadow Balls. Copying Mr. Game & Watch lets Kirby hurl sausages, and doing the same to Jigglypuff earns him a Rollout move. Marth's hair comes complete with a powerful Shield Breaker move." (Super Smash Bros. Melee, 12/01)

Kirby Hat 5

"Secret hats galore! In Pichu's hat Kirby can shoot out electricity, while Dr. Mario's headgear gives him Megavitamins. When Kirby wears Falco's beak, he gets to use Falco's powerful Blaster; by the same token, he can fire arrows when in Young Link's cap. When Kirby copies Ganondorf he gets the Warlock Punch, and copying Roy produces a Flare Blade." (Super Smash Bros. Melee, 12/01)
