Aside from some cameos, Kirby has rarely appeared alongside Mario in either of their series aside from a few issues of the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' magazine and, most notably, in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' titles]]–all of which are directed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]], the creator of Kirby's own series. He is voiced by Makiko Omoto, who also voices [[Ness]] in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

Kirby made his first ''Mario''-relevant appearances in the German ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comics. He is one of the few non-''Mario'' characters to be a recurring character.

 

Kirby debuted in the comic "[[Super Mario: Mario im Wunderland]]". In this comic, [[Mario]] gets to [[Wunderland]] by accident, which is a strange land where a wizard, whose name is [[Crab (character)|Crab]] is said to be able to fulfill desires. Among others, Mario meets Kirby in Wunderland, and mistakes him for a pillow. This annoys Kirby, and since he says he wants to look like [[Mega Man]], he joins Mario on his way to the wizard. When arriving there, however, Kirby just says that he would like to not be a pillow any longer. The wizard then turns him into a toaster.

Kirby appeared alongside Mario in the obscure educational video ''[[Mario Kirby Meisaku Video]]''; however, this video was merely a compilation of their non-intertwining adventures. In Kirby's ''Mario Kirby Meisaku Video'' segment, he helps a little lost dog find its mother, who was allegedly kidnapped by King Dedede.

 

{{SSB Infobox

After King Dedede collects the [[Link]] and [[Yoshi]] (or [[Mario]] and [[Pit (character)|Pit]]) trophies, Kirby hops out. King Dedede then gasps and with his Final Cutter, Kirby destroys the large object that is holding the two trophies. Kirby quickly revives the two, and they all jump off the cargo. King Dedede turns around and leaves, but his cargo ends up blowing an engine from an arrow that's either fired by Link or Pit.

The heroes are all in [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]] itself. Kirby and all the others attempt to fight [[Tabuu]]; however, they are all defeated with his Off Waves. The badge that Kirby swallowed turns out to have the power to turn a trophy back to life. Kirby is brought back and goes off to revive Link, Yoshi, Peach, Zelda, the Ice Climbers, [[Meta Knight]], [[Lucario]], R.O.B., [[Solid Snake]], and even [[Wario]], who also had been working with the Subspace Army and ended up in Subspace earlier on. Soon Kirby comes across Ganondorf in his trophy form, but before he could do anything, Bowser suddenly appears and starts attacking Ganondorf, having been betrayed by him earlier. Dedede (who revived Luigi and Ness with the badges) then reunites with Kirby. Kirby, as well as everyone else, fights Tabuu a second time and are able to defeat him (with some [[Sonic the Hedgehog|extra help]]).

'''[[wikirby:Inhale|Inhale]]''' (named '''Swallow''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'') is Kirby's standard special move. The move is based on his natural inhaling ability in the ''Kirby'' series. When used, Kirby creates a vacuum effect that draws in items and opponents (with the exception of [[Poké Ball]]s, [[Master Ball]]s, [[Cucco]]s, [[Mr. Saturn]]s, and [[Dragoon]] and [[Daybreak]] parts which are collected instead). If an item is inhaled, some of Kirby's damage is healed, although certain items such as the [[Metal Box]] and [[Timer (item)|Timer]] also give the player their standard effects in addition to healing damage, and explosive items take effect when inhaled, damaging Kirby. Larger items such as [[Crate]]s and [[Party Ball (item)|Party Ball]]s also take longer for Kirby to inhale, leaving him unable to do anything until he does so. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the inhaling sound effect from the original ''[[wikirby:Kirby's Dream Land|Kirby's Dream Land]]'' is used for his move, whereas in previous games, a generic sound effect is used instead. Additionally, Inhale can now vacuum stronger projectiles such as a fully charged [[Samus Aran#Charge Shot|Charge Shot]], which he can spit back out as a star; Kirby can also swallow projectiles to heal himself.

|JapM=Suction

'''[[wikirby:Final Cutter|Final Cutter]]''' is Kirby's up special move and one of the attacks used by the [[wikirby:Cutter|Cutter]] ability in the ''Kirby'' series. Like in its series of origin, Kirby pulls out a blade and slashes up into the air before flying back toward the ground. When Kirby lands the attack sends out a shockwave in front of him that also damages opponents. The move also has a [[meteor smash]] on the descent. The player can also influence Kirby's horizontal movement a little during the attack.

In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the first custom variant for this move is '''Grounding Stone''', which has a longer transformation time but buries opponents when landing on them from the air. The second variant, '''Meteor Stone''', [[meteor smash]]es opponents that Kirby hits, but the time it takes for Kirby to turn back is increased.

 

 

{| style="text-align: center; width: 100%; margin: 0 auto; border-collapse: collapse;" border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" textalign="center"

|Kirby receives Banjo's backpack and gains his standard special: [[Banjo#Egg Firing / Breegull Blaster|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]].

|Regardless of which model Kirby inhales, Kirby obtains Bayonetta's hair and glasses from ''[[wikipedia:Bayonetta 2|Bayonetta 2]]'' and gains her standard special: [[Bayonetta#Bullet Climax|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.

|[[File:Kirby_Chrom_Ability.jpg ‎|x100px]]

|Regardless of which model Kirby inhales, Kirby receives Cloud's hair from ''[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy VII|FINAL FANTASY VII]]'' and gains the move [[Cloud Strife#Blade Beam|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.

|[[File:Kirby_Daisy_Ability.jpg ‎|x100px]]

|Kirby obtains Dark Pit's crown and a pair of miniature, dark wings. Kirby gains the move [[Dark Pit#Silver Bow|Silver Bow]], which fires an arrow in the direction Kirby is facing. Like with Dark Pit, the arrow can be aimed forward, backward, or upward and the direction can be changed as long as the arrow has to fire. The arrow can be slightly controlled after leaving, though it doesn't have as wide a movement as Pit's arrow.

|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 don't bounce as high compared to when Dr. Mario launches them.

|Kirby will receive a bird beak, markings around his eyes, and a blue Mohawk, all resembling Falco. He'll also receive Falco's [[Falco Lombardi#Blaster|Blaster]]. Pressing the special button will have Kirby shoot out bursts of plasma energy, which will briefly stun opponents upon contact. The blaster fires faster if Kirby is in the air, though the Blaster fires slower than Fox's regardless.

|[[Fox McCloud|Fox]]

|Kirby receives a pair of fox ears along with the communicator Fox wears on his head. He also receives Fox's [[Fox McCloud#Blaster|Blaster]]. 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.

|[[File:SSBU Kirby Ganondorf copy ability.jpg|x100px]]<br/>(''Melee'' and ''Ultimate'')<br/>[[File:Kirby Ganon Ability.jpg|x100px]]<br/>(''Brawl'' and ''for 3DS'' / ''Wii U'')

|Kirby obtains a cap resembling the top of Greninja's head and gains the move [[Greninja#Water Shuriken|Water Shuriken]]. Holding the special button will build up the shuriken's power and size; releasing the button will send the shuriken traveling forward. The larger the shuriken is, the more damage it will deal, but it will also travel slower. At it's largest, it will be automatically released and will deal repeated damage to opponents.

|Kirby will gain a cap resembling the top of Incineroar's head along with the special move: [[Incineroar#Darkest Lariat|Darkest Lariat]]. Pressing the special button will cause Kirby to perform a series of spinning attacks resembling a [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Discus|discus]] [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Lariat|lariats]] in rapid succession. While Incineroar's will match its palette color, Kirby's will always be gray.

|Kirby will obtain the the orange Inkling's hairstyle, regardless of which Inking color palette he inhales. This transformation also includes a blaster called the [[Splattershot]], a special move that fires ink projectiles. The color of this ink will always be different than any currently being used by other Inklings on the stage. If Kirby uses up all of his ink, he loses his Inkling Copy Ability.

|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 [[Kazuya Mishima#Devil Blaster|Devil Blaster]], an energy beam fired from a third eye that opens up on Kirby's forehead. During the attack, Kirby's complexion will change to purple (regardless of which palette is chosen) and he will gain Devil Kazuya's horns and wings. On the ground, the beam fires forward by default, but its direction can be changed an upward or a downward angle before the attack is unleashed. If the attack is used in the air, it will always be angled downward.

|Kirby will receive Ken's hairstyle and eyebrows as well as his special move, the [[Ken Masters#Hadoken|Hadoken]]. Pressing the special button will have Kirby shoot out a slow-moving energy burst, damaging nearby opponents. Kirby also copies Ken's original [[wikipedia:Street Fighter|''Street Fighter'']] commands, and inputting the original command will send out a stronger Hadoken.  

|Kirby obtains Lucina's mask, which she used to protect her identity during the events of [[fireemblem:Fire Emblem Awakening|''Fire Emblem Awakening'']], along with her standard special move: [[Lucina#Shield Breaker|Shield Breaker]]. Holding the special button will cause Kirby to bring out his variant of Lucina's [[fireemblem:Parallel Falchion|Falchion]]. Releasing the special button or waiting for the attack to fully charge will unleash a forward thrust that will reduce the opponent's [[Shield (Super Smash Bros. series)|shield]] if they are using it.

|Kirby will obtain Luigi's green [[cap]] as well as his [[Green Fireball|Fireball]] special move. Pressing the special button will send a green fireball forward, traveling a short distance forward and bouncing off of obstacles. The fireball does not touch the ground, so the momentum doesn't get lost as it continues. The fireball will dissipate after hitting an opponent or after enough time has passed.

|Kirby will gain Marth's hairdo and tiara and gain his special move, [[Marth#Shield Breaker|Shield Breaker]]. Holding the special button will cause Kirby to bring out his variant of Marth's [[fireemblem:Falchion|Falchion]]. Releasing the special button or waiting for the attack to fully charge will unleash a forward thrust or slice. Like with Marth's Falchion, the tip of the sword deals extra damage. In ''Melee'', the sword has a overhead swing animation, but was changed to a thrust from ''Brawl'' onward. The move will will reduce the opponent's shield if they are using it.

|Kirby will receive Meta Knight's mask, complete with the yellow eyes within it, and little bat-like wings on his head. He'll also gain the special move [[Meta Knight#Mach Tornado|Mach Tornado]]. By pressing the special button, Kirby will begin spinning, causing a tornado to form, and repeatedly damaging opponents caught within. The tornado will dissipate after a short time, but continuously pressing the special button will make the tornado last longer as well as rise up. While executing the attack, Kirby holds his own version of [[wikirby:Galaxia|Galaxia]].  

|[[Mii Brawler]]

|[[Mii Gunner]]

|[[Mii Swordfighter]]

|Kirby receives the [[Princess Peach's Crown|crown Peach wears]] on his head and gains the special move [[Toad (move)|Toad]]. If Kirby pulls the Toad out while he is being attacked, Toad will counter the move in ''Melee'' or release damaging spores in ''Brawl'' and onward.

|Kirby will receive Pit's crown and miniature versions of his wings, along with the special move [[Pit (character)#Palutena Bow|Palutena Bow]]. Pressing and holding the special button will have Kirby charge an arrow. How far it goes and how much damage it deals depends on how long it's charged, up to a point. After release, the player can control the arrow by moving around. While charging the arrow, the direction Kirby faces can be changed.

|Kirby will receive a the hairstyle and headband of Richter Belmont along with his [[Richter Belmont#Axe|axe]], a special move where an axe projectile is launched upward in an arc.

|Regardless of what gender of Robin Kirby inhales, he'll receive the default male Robin's hair along with his special move, [[Robin#Thunder|Thunder]]. Pressing the button will have Kirby start charging the attack, which cycles between four stages. The attack has a limited number of uses, however, and exhausting them will make Kirby lose the copy ability. This makes Robin's, along with Inkling's, the only copied ability that can be lost after using it.

|[[File:Roy Kirby.png|x100px]]<br/>(''Melee'')<br/>[[File:Kirby Roy Ability.jpg|x100px]]<br/>(''for 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' onwards)

|Kirby receives Ryu's hair, headband, and eyebrows as well as his special move, the [[Ryu#Hadoken|Hadoken]]. Pressing the special button will have Kirby shoot out a slow-moving energy burst, damaging nearby opponents. Kirby also copies Ryu's original [[wikipedia:Street Fighter|''Street Fighter'']] commands, and inputting the original command will send out a stronger Hadoken. Inputting the commands of [[wikipedia:Dhalsim|Dhalsim]]'s Yoga Flame move will result in Kirby launching a Shakunetsu Hadoken, which deals repeated damage to opponents, but travels slightly slower.

|Kirby obtains Samus's helmet and her special move, [[Samus Aran#Charge Shot|Charge Shot]]. 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. The longer the move is charged, the faster and stronger it'll become.

|Kirby will receive a the hairstyle and headband of Simon Belmont along with his [[Simon Belmont#Axe|axe]], a special move where an axe projectile is launched upward in an arc.

|[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]

|Kirby obtains a cap resembling Sonic's spikes and ears, along with gaining the special move [[Sonic the Hedgehog#Homing Attack|Homing Attack]]. Pressing the special button will cause Kirby to turn into a blue ball and launch toward a nearby opponent, dealing damage if it connects. If no opponent is nearby, the move will simply launch Kirby forward.  

|Regardless of which form of Villager Kirby inhales, he'll receive the default male Villager's hairdo and the special move [[Villager#Pocket|Pocket]]. Pressing the special button will have Kirby hold out his hand and pocket any item in front of him or projectile that comes his way. Pressing the button again will have Kirby pull out the item or launch the pocketed projectile. However, once enough time passes, the item will disappear. If nothing is in front of Kirby, the move will do nothing.

|[[File:SSBB Kirby Wolf Copy Ability.jpg|x100px]]<br/>(''Brawl'')<br/>[[File:Wolf Kirby.JPG|x100px]]<br/>(''Ultimate'')

|Kirby receives Wolf's ears and headset, 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.

|Kirby obtains a cap resembling the top of Yoshi's head and his large nose, along with his special move, [[Egg Lay]]. When the special button is pressed, Kirby will send out a long tongue, which he'll use to grab opponents and pull them within him, trapping them in eggs.

| A denizen of the far-off, peaceful planet Pop Star, Kirby became a citizen of Dream Land after defeating King Dedede. Even though he's only about eight inches tall, Kirby is an extremely skilled technician. He has the ability to absorb the powers of his enemies, and his elastic body makes him a versatile adventurer.

| Kirby's small size lets him dodge many attacks, but his light weight makes him fly far when struck. Using his ability to inflate, he can jump five times. His Swallow attack creates wild combos; not only can he copy foes' moves, but he'll also put on special hats and mimic their voices. His Hammer is unwieldy but powerful.

| [[File:trophy18.png|center|100px]]

| align=center | Up & {{button|gcn|B}}: Final Cutter<br>Down & B: Stone

| Because of his light weight, Kirby is always in danger of being sent flying, but his ability to puff up and fly allows him to come back from amazing distances. His Final Cutter strikes on the way up and on the way down, and it sends out a beam of force upon landing. Kirby transforms into various objects and crashes down when he uses his Stone technique.

| align=center | 157

| align=center | Kirby Hat 1

| [[File:trophy157.png|center|100px]]

| align=center | ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''<br>12/01

| 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.  

| align=center | 158

| align=center | Kirby Hat 2

| [[File:trophy158.png|center|100px]]

| align=center | ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''<br>12/01

| 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.  

| align=center | 159

| align=center | Kirby Hat 3

| [[File:trophy159.png|100px|center]]

| align=center | ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''<br>12/01

| 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.  

| align=center | 160

| align=center | Kirby Hat 4

| [[File:trophy160.png|center|100px]]

| align=center | ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''<br>12/01

| 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.  

| 161

| align=center | Kirby Hat 5

| [[File:trophy161.png|center|100px]]

| align=center | ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''<br>12/01

| 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.  

| 233

| align=center | Fire Kirby

| [[File:trophy233.png|center|100px]]

| align=center | ''[[wikirby:Kirby's Adventure|Kirby's Adventure]]''<br>5/93

| When Kirby swallows a fire-wielding enemy, he transforms into Fire Kirby. Not only does he breathe fire in this form, but he can also sprout flames on his entire body and damage enemies by crashing into them. Fire Kirby wears the bright red headdress of his enemy Burning Leo. The hat turns into a helpful weapon when thrown.  

| 234

| align=center | Fighter Kirby

| [[File:trophy234.png|center|100px]]

| align=center | ''Kirby Super Star''<br>9/96

| Kirby dons a warrior's headband and becomes a fierce fighter when he swallows an enemy skilled at physical attacks. Fighter Kirby uses many colorful punching and kicking moves as he overpowers his enemies with his sparring skills. The Vulcan Jab is just one of the many techniques Kirby can use thanks to his copying power.  

| 235

| align=center | Ball Kirby

| [[File:trophy235.png|center|100px]]

| align=center | ''Kirby's Adventure''<br>5/93

| When Kirby swallows a ball enemy, he turns into a ball and can bounce off of floors and walls. It's tough to control, but well worth it for the strong attack power it gives Kirby. After his debut in Kirby's Adventure, Ball Kirby has popped up in several more Kirby games, such as Kirby's Pinball Land and Kirby's Block Ball.

| align=center | '''GB''' ''Kirby's Dream Land''<br>'''SNES''' ''Kirby Super Star''

| align=center | A round, pink ball of cuteness from a distant, peaceful star. He can swallow anything with his gigantic mouth, then spit it out as ammo. He has the handy ability to copy powers and use them as his own. His hovering ability lets him fly through the air with ease. He's so round, he's sometimes treated like a ball.

| align=center | Cook Kirby

| [[File:BrawlTrophy012.png|100px|center]]

| align=center |'''Wii''' ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''

| align=center | Kirby in chef's garb. When Kirby throws on his chef's hat, a giant pot appears in the center of the screen. All characters, items, and even long-distance weapons are sucked into the pot. Once they've simmered a bit, food items equal to the number of things in the pot appear. Characters in the mix get blasted straight up out of the pot.

| align=center | 393

| align=center | Beam Kirby

| [[File:BrawlTrophy393.png|100px|center]]

| align=center | '''NES''' ''Kirby's Adventure''<br>'''DS''' ''Kirby: Squeak Squad''

| align=center | Kirby in a jester cap...and a super cute Kirby at that. Beam Kirby features a Beam ability, acquired by inhaling Waddle Doo, that allows him to shoot a whiplike beam at his enemies. With a wide attack range, this ability is extremely easy to use, especially for taking out enemies in bunches. In Kirby Super Star, this beam can also be charged and fired.

| align=center | 394

| align=center | Needle Kirby

| [[File:BrawlTrophy394.png|100px|center]]

| align=center | '''NES''' ''Kirby's Adventure''<br>'''DS''' ''Kirby: Canvas Curse''

| align=center | A Kirby ability made when Kirby inhales a spiked enemy. When attacking, the needles on Needle Kirby's body extend, giving him a porcupine-like look. This ability provides both offensive and defensive measures against nearby enemies. Plus, needles which extend on Kirby's underside when jumping eliminate any threats on landing.

| align=center | 395

| align=center | Sword Kirby

| [[File:BrawlTrophy395.png|100px|center]]

| align=center | '''NES''' ''Kirby's Adventure''<br>'''DS''' ''Kirby: Squeak Squad''

| align=center | A Kirby ability made when Kirby inhales a sword-wielding foe or a sword itself. Doing so provides Kirby with a rapid sword slash, a jumping sword spin, or even the energy-beam blast of the Final Sword. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that this is the #1 Copy Ability in terms of accessibility.

| align=center | 396

| align=center | Sleep Kirby

| [[File:BrawlTrophy396.png|100px|center]]

| align=center | '''NES''' ''Kirby's Adventure''<br>'''DS''' ''Kirby: Squeak Squad''

| align=center | Kirby after he copies the ability to sleep peacefully. Kirby takes on this form when he inhales Noddy or other such enemies. Kirby cannot move at all while sleeping, so extra care should be taken not to use this ability when enemies are near. Kirby, in his slumber, tends to drool, and in his panicked awakening, isn't it cute how he forgets to wipe off the drool?

| align=center | 397

| align=center | Wing Kirby

| [[File:BrawlTrophy397.png|100px|center]]

| align=center | '''SNES''' ''Kirby Super Star''<br>'''GCN''' ''Kirby Air Ride''

| align=center | Kirby when he inhales a winged enemy and copies its flying ability. This ability can be used to proceed through strong winds that would otherwise be too tough to overcome. Wing Kirby can also perform a plethora of attack moves, such as the Bomber Head, where Kirby dive-bombs onto enemy heads.

| align=center | 398

| align=center | Fighter Kirby

| [[File:BrawlTrophy398.png|100px|center]]

| align=center | '''SNES''' ''Kirby Super Star''<br>'''GBA''' ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''

| align=center | Kirby when he is skilled in martial arts, especially close-quarters combat. Inhaling brawny challengers like Knuckle Joe will transform Kirby, allowing him to use a bunch of fight moves like Rising Break, the heroic uppercut. His Mega Power Shot in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, which used charged energy to take out faraway enemies, is another Fighter Kirby highlight.

| align=center | 399

| align=center | Fire Kirby

| [[File:BrawlTrophy399.png|100px|center]]

| align=center | '''SNES''' ''Kirby Super Star''<br>'''DS''' ''Kirby: Canvas Curse''

| align=center | Kirby when he inhales an enemy who uses fire. Shooting fire from his mouth, Fire Kirby can cook enemies from afar. This ability also allows Kirby to light explosive blocks, fuses, and so on. In Kirby Super Star and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Fire Kirby can roll his burning body into enemies as an attack move.

| align=center | 400

| align=center | Ice Kirby

| [[File:BrawlTrophy400.png|100px|center]]

| align=center | '''NES''' ''Kirby's Adventure''<br>'''SNES''' ''Kirby Super Star''

| align=center | Kirby when he copies an enemy with chilly abilities. Ice Kirby can blow an icy wind from his mouth and freeze enemies solid. These frozen enemies can then be knocked into other enemies as an additional means of attack. These blocks are not only effective against enemies but can also be used on terrain such as magma or water.

| align=center | 401

| align=center | Plasma Kirby

| [[File:BrawlTrophy401.png|100px|center]]

| align=center | '''SNES''' ''Kirby Super Star''<br>'''GCN''' ''Kirby Air Ride''

| align=center | Kirby when he inhales Plasma Wisps, which glow with a neon green flame. Plasma Kirby can charge the plasma strength up to a maximum level of 5. In Kirby Super Star, your attack--be it a Plasma Laser or a Plasma Wave Cannon--varies with the length of time you charge it.

| align=center | 402

| align=center | Tornado Kirby

| [[File:BrawlTrophy402.png|100px|center]]

| align=center | '''NES''' ''Kirby's Adventure''<br>'''GCN''' ''Kirby Air Ride''

| align=center | Kirby when he inhales enemies that fly around like twisters through the sky. When in tornado form, Kirby can spin freely through the air for short amounts of time, clearing out groups of enemies. Tornado Kirby will continue spinning and bouncing violently off of obstacles until he comes to a stop. One drawback of Tornado Kirby is the control difficulty.

He can copy opponents' standard specials in this game, too! His light weight means he gets launched easily, but with a series of mid-air jumps, recovering's not too tricky.''

!Plasma Kirby

|''What does the aurora borealis have in common with lightning? Plasma! And what does Plasma Kirby have in common with them? Hrm. Maybe that was too easy... Anyway, Plasma Kirby can build up plasma using the +Control Pad and fire it with the B Button. You can look up more about plasma if you want, but firing plasma is what's important here.''

|''In the Kirby series, Plasma Kirby is Kirby, but with the ability to fire plasma, and mashing the +Control Pad charges him up! "But what exactly is plasma?" you ask. Well, that's a very good question. Maybe you should look it up yourself. Can't be giving you all the answers, you know.''
