Copy Ability

Copy Abilities are powers that Kirby and other members of his species can gain in various ways during gameplay, most notably from inhaling an enemy. Since their introduction in Kirby's Adventure, Copy Abilities have been a staple characteristic of Kirby, let alone a staple of the Kirby franchise in general.

Kirby can make use of Copy Abilities in every Super Smash Bros. series installment, starting with Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64, by inhaling a fighter. The Copy Abilities in the Super Smash Bros. series are different than those within the Kirby franchise, especially because Kirby receives them from other fighters, most of whom are not from the Kirby franchise. Upon copying an opponent, Kirby gains a few of their moves, and some of their clothing items or other distinct features are also copied for Kirby's appearance. Once Kirby has gained a Copy Ability, the opponent is released back out onto the stage.

Kirby's moveset consists of some moves that would otherwise require a specific Copy Ability, such as Final Cutter, which requires Kirby to have the Cutter Copy Ability in order to use.

List of Copy Abilities

Below is a list of the Copy Abilities Kirby can gain in the Super Smash Bros. series. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Kirby only copies the character's default standard special move.

	Banjo & Kazooie	Kirby receives Banjo's backpack and necklace and gains his standard special: Egg Firing. A Kazooie doll appears from the backpack, shooting eggs from its throat. If the button is held, the move becomes Breegull Blaster, during which Kirby pulls out the Kazooie doll and holds it, firing the egg in a similar manner to a Super Scope.	Ultimate
	Bayonetta	Regardless of which model Kirby inhales, Kirby obtains Bayonetta's hair and glasses from Bayonetta 2 and gains her standard special: Bullet Climax. Pressing the special button will make the guns shoot out bullets in an upward angle. Charging the move by holding down the button will increase the move's power.	Nintendo 3DS / Wii U / Ultimate
	Bowser	Kirby receives Bowser's hair and horns and gains his special: Fire Breath. Kirby can breath out fire, which can be angled up or down starting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. However, the flame diminishes after being used for too long and must recharge.	Melee / Brawl / Nintendo 3DS / Wii U / Ultimate
	Bowser Jr./Koopalings	Regardless of which of the characters Kirby inhales, he will receive Bowser Jr.'s tuft of hair and a bandana resembling the one worn by Bowser Jr. He gains the ability Clown Cannon, which will cause a cannon to appear in Kirby's mouth upon pressing the special button. How far the cannonball travels depends on how long the special button is held.	Nintendo 3DS / Wii U / Ultimate
	Byleth	Kirby receives Byleth's hairdo and gains their special: Failnaught. Similar to Link's Hero's Bow, holding the special button charges the arrow, increasing its attack power and distance.	Ultimate

Upon pressing the special button, Kirby will begin charging power and then releases it with a forward punch after a short time. Starting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the attack can be turned around by inputting the direction opposite of the way Kirby is facing immediately after starting the move.	All

	Cloud	Regardless of which model Kirby inhales, Kirby receives Cloud's hair from FINAL FANTASY VII and gains the move Blade Beam. Using the move will have Kirby take out his version of the Buster Sword and fire a green beam forward, which will disappear after traveling a set distance or after hitting an opponent. Like Cloud's variant, the attack is weaker when used in the air, but has a wider range. Kirby does not have access to the Limit Break variant because the Cloud Copy Ability does not grant Kirby Limit Charge.	Nintendo 3DS / Wii U / Ultimate
	Corrin	Kirby will obtain a helmet resembling the head of the dragon form Corrin takes and gains the move Dragon Fang Shot. Kirby's arm will transform into a dragon fang and will launch an electric energy ball that paralyzes opponents briefly upon contact.

	Dr. Mario	Kirby obtains a doctor's head mirror and Dr. Mario's special move, Megavitamin. Pressing the special button will have Kirby launch a Megavitamin forward, which will bounce around off the ground and walls for a time, disappearing either when it travels far enough or after dealing damage to an opponent. Due to Kirby's lower height, the Megavitamins do not bounce as high compared to when Dr. Mario launches them.	Melee / Nintendo 3DS / Wii U / Ultimate
	Duck Hunt	Kirby will receive the dog's ears and snout, along with the special move Trick Shot. Pressing the button will spawn a can in front of Kirby, which he will immediately kick.

Pressing the special button will have Kirby shoot out bursts of plasma energy which damages opponents. In the original Super Smash Bros., the plasma will briefly stun opponents. In Melee onward, the plasma will simply deal damage without causing knockback.	All
(Melee and Ultimate) (Brawl and for 3DS / Wii U)	Ganondorf	Kirby receives Ganondorf's hair and head ornaments. In Melee and Ultimate, the hair style is based off of Ganondorf's appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but in Brawl and for 3DS / Wii U, it was changed to reflect Ganondorf's appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Kirby also gains Ganondorf's special move, Warlock Punch, which works similar to Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch.

Holding the special button will build up the shuriken's power and size; releasing the button will send the shuriken traveling forward.

	Ike	Kirby receives Ike's hair and headband, along with gaining his special move: Eruption. Despite Ike's model changing between Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, the hair style and headband do not change. When the move is activated, Kirby pulls out his own version of Ragnell and begins charging power, which lasts as long as the special button is pressed. Releasing the button will cause Kirby to plunge the sword into the ground, causing red flames in Brawl or blue flames in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U to erupt, damaging opponents. Charging the move fully will cause it to automatically unleash the charged power and deal minor damage to Kirby. In Brawl, the fully charged attack could one-hit-KO opponents, though the attribute was removed in the sequels.	Brawl / Nintendo 3DS / Wii U / Ultimate
	Incineroar	Kirby will gain a cap resembling the top of Incineroar's head along with the special move: Darkest Lariat.

This transformation also includes a blaster called the Splattershot, a special move that fires ink projectiles.

	Jigglypuff	Kirby receives Jigglypuff's hair swirl and its ears. In Super Smash Bros., the copied move is Pound, which has Kirby send a jab in front of him upon pressing the button. From Super Smash Bros. Melee onward, the move is replaced with Rollout, which will cause Kirby to spin and charge power for as long as the button is held. Releasing the button will send Kirby rolling forward, damaging anyone he rolls into. The roll can also be turned around by pressing in the opposite direction. The longer the move is charged, the faster Kirby will roll and the stronger the move becomes, up to a certain point.	All
	Joker	Kirby will receive Joker's mask, hair, and gun. The copied move is Gun, where, when used will make Kirby fire a gun. Gunshots can be fired in multiple directions or in a circle, with the player being able to fire multiple gunshots consecutively. Kirby cannot copy Joker's Rebellion Gauge, and thus, he does not have access to Gun Special, as he cannot summon Arsene.	Ultimate
	Kazuya	Kirby will receive Kazuya's hairstyle, eyebrows, gloves, and his left eye will become red like Kazuya's. He also gains access to Kazuya's Devil Blaster, an energy beam fired from a third eye that opens up on Kirby's forehead.

Pressing the special button will cause Kirby to begin charging the attack and pressing it again will launch the energy ball forward.

By pressing and holding the special button, Kirby will send a large snowflake into the air, which will come back down in an angled decent, though the distance between it and Kirby can be altered.
