'''Kirby''' is an inhabitant of [[wikirby:Popstar|Planet Popstar]] and the protagonist of the [[wikirby:Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. He lives in the kingdom of [[wikirby:Dream Land|Dream Land]], which is ruled by the corrupt [[wikirby:King Dedede|King Dedede]]. The self-proclaimed king frequently causes trouble, leaving it to Kirby to protect his homeland. On his adventures, he runs into many other characters, such as the shady [[wikirby:Meta Knight|Meta Knight]], or the helpful and friendly [[wikirby:Bandana Waddle Dee|Bandana Waddle Dee]]. Kirby defeats Dedede and his many minions by using his signature ability, inhaling items and enemies and spitting them out or copying their [[wikirby:Copy Ability|abilities]].

|[[Ganondorf]]

|Kirby receives Ganondorf's hair and head ornaments. In ''Melee'' and ''Ultimate'', the hair style is based off of Ganondorf's appearance in [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'']], but in ''Brawl'' and ''for 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', it was changed to reflect Ganondorf's appearance in [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'']]. Kirby also gains Ganondorf's special move, [[Ganondorf#Warlock Punch|Warlock Punch]], which works similar to Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch. Kirby will begin charging power after pressing the special button and he will unleash the power after a short time. Starting in ''Brawl'', the move can be turned around by inputting the direction opposite of the way Kirby is facing immediately after activating the move.

|[[File:Kirby Inhale Wii U.jpg|x100px]]

|Inhaling another Kirby will not do anything if the other Kirby doesn't have an ability. If the other Kirby does have an ability, it can be stolen, essentially swapping the abilities the Kirbys had.

|[[File:MiiBrawler Kirby WU.jpg|x100px]]

|Kirby will receive a strapped cut out of the copied [[Mii]]'s face, which is placed on Kirby's head, and gains the default special [[Mii Brawler#Shot Put|Shot Put]]. Pressing the special button will have Kirby toss an iron ball a short ways forward in an arch. The ball will still roll on the ground for a short time, dealing minor damage to opponents it comes into contact with, though it deals more damage while it is in the air.

|[[File:MiiGunner Kirby WU.jpg|x100px]]

|Kirby will receive a strapped cut out of the copied Mii's face, which is placed on Kirby's head, and gains the default special, [[Mii Gunner#Charge Blast|Charge Blast]]. Pressing the special button will have Kirby begin charging a ball of energy until either the player dodges, shields, the move charges fully, or by unleashing the attack with a second button press.

|[[File:MiiSwordfighter Kirby WU.jpg|x100px]]

|Kirby will receive a strapped cut out of the copied Mii's face, which is placed on Kirby's head, and gains the default special, [[Mii Swordfighter#Gale Strike|Gale Strike]]. Pressing the special button will have Kirby take out a sword and send a gust of wind forward, which increases in speed as it moves. The gust of wind can deal slight damage to opponents before disappearing, and can also carry or destroy small objects.

|[[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]]

|Kirby receives Roy's hair and headband, the design of which reflects Roy's appearance in the same game, and gains his special move, [[Roy (Fire Emblem)#Flare Blade|Flare Blade]]. Pressing and holding the special button will have Kirby bring out a variant of the [[fireemblem:Sword of Seals|Sword of Seals]] and begin charging power. Releasing the button will have Kirby unleash the power, swinging the sword down in an overhead swing and creating an explosion. When fully charged, the attack will be unleashed automatically, dealing a blow that can KO an opponent, though slightly damaging Kirby as well.

|[[Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf]]

|Kirby receives Wolf's ears and headset (his ears and eyepatch in ''Ultimate''), along with his variant of the special move, [[Wolf O'Donnell#Blaster|Blaster]]. Wolf's variant of the Blaster's beam travels slower and cannot be fired as quickly as Fox's or Falco's, but it deals greater damage.
