'''Bell''' is a [[Copy Ability]] which gives [[Kirby]] a large bell hat with a pink star on the front and blue ribbon tied to the handle, with two additional handbells to use as weapons. The Bell ability is primarily used to create large damaging sound waves and pounding foes in rapid succession, but the bells themselves can also be thrown to deal damage from afar. Additionally, Kirby can hide inside his bell hat for a more effective [[guard]], which will retaliate against attackers when struck. The Bell ability is among those which can be used underwater. Bell's sole provider is the elusive bell enemy [[Ringle]], who can only be occasionally found floating in the air or walking along the ground.

Bell made its debut appearance alongside [[Archer]], [[Beetle]], and [[Circus]] in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''. Since then, it has made no main-series appearances (making it the only new Copy Ability introduced in ''Triple Deluxe'' to have this distinction), but it does appear again in ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'' and its sequel ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]''. In ''Kirby Fighters Deluxe'' in particular, Bell has to be unlocked by having [[StreetPass]] data for ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' on the same system.

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
{{quote|The attacks from the new Bell copy ability look quite different from the other abilities. That’s because Kirby strikes enemies with the melody that flows out of the bells in each hand. By continuously attacking enemies with Ring-ding, the attack powers up to Ring-ding-dong, then to Ding Finale. To attack enemies who are farther away, throw the bells left and right simultaneously using Twin Tinker. The bell on Kirby’s head can also serve as protection by using Bell Block. To obtain the Bell ability, inhale a Ringle when you see it in the game!|[[Satoshi Ishida]], [[Miiverse]] post on 05/26/2014 9:13 AM}}
Bell debuts in this game and is obtainable from the enemy [[Ringle]]. Bell is a fairly versatile ability for combat; it allows Kirby to attack from a distance, use a more powerful [[Guard]] technique, and attack underwater with it. Kirby also appears to be enjoying himself while he bangs on the bells to create huge sound waves, as a smile can be seen on his face during some of the attacks. However, Bell is one of the less versatile abilities for puzzle-solving, having no elemental attacks or special objects to interact with.

===''Kirby Fighters Deluxe''===
Bell appears as a selectable copy ability in this game, but it cannot be used unless the player has save data for ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' on the same [[Nintendo 3DS]] system. It functions the same as it did in the previous game.

Bell's Rare Outfit replaces Kirby's default bells with ''[[wikipedia:Bonshō|bonshō]]'' (Japanese temple bells) and gives the bells unique, duller sound effects.

===''Kirby Fighters 2''===
Bell returns as a playable ability in this game, with largely the same move-set as it had in its previous iterations (excepting the underwater moves, as there is no water in the game). It is unlocked upon reaching [[Fighters Rank]] 37, making it the final Copy Ability to unlock in the game.

Bell has two Rare Hats, the first being Temple Bell, returning from ''Kirby Fighters Deluxe'', and the other being Sleigh Bell, which causes Kirby's hat to resemble a Christmas tree and gives him a white moustache similar to Santa Claus.

For more precise competitive-oriented information on the Bell ability in ''Kirby Fighters 2'', see [https://wiki.gbl.gg/w/Kirby_Fighters_2/Bell Mizuumi Wiki's page].

=== ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' ===
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', Bell Kirby appears on a [[Character Treat]], using his art from ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''. Bell does not appear as an ability in the game proper.

==In the ''Kirby'' novel series==

[[File:V2 Illustration 24.png|thumb|200px|Bell Kirby brings down [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]] in ''[[Kirby and the Big Panic in Gloomy Woods!]]'']]
In the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], the Bell ability appears in ''[[Kirby and the Big Panic in Gloomy Woods!]]'', where [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] obtains it from [[Ringle]]. Unlike previous [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] in the series, Kirby uses multiple skills from its moveset, such as Tinker Melody and Bell Block.

In ''Kirby and the Big Panic in Gloomy Woods!'', Kirby stumbles upon large, mysterious ruins, and rushes there to take a rest from collecting the [[Stardust Fruit]]s with [[Meta Knight (novel character)|Meta Knight]], [[Waddle Dee (novel character)|Waddle Dee]], [[Kerota, Keroji, and Kerolina]]. They warn him to avoid the place as a loud bell sounds from it, but Kirby ignores them. Ringle angrily jumps out at him, but is [[inhale]]d quickly. Kirby gets the Bell ability, and uses it to make lots of noise, much to his delight. [[Broom Hatter]] then enters the scene, and realizes what Kirby did to Ringle. She rushes at Kirby, but Meta Knight quickly assures her that Ringle is unharmed. After Broom Hatter explains that she and Ringle have the job of guarding the precious [[Stardust Fruit|Stardust Crystal]], the group runs into [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]] and the [[Woodkeeper]]. Dedede immediately assumes everyone is after the crystal, and turns against them. As the chaos increases, Kerota, Keroji, and Kerolina attempt to sneak away with the Stardust Fruits, as they had planned all along. Kirby quickly notices this, angrily shakes his bells, and directly hits them with an extra loud tone. Kirby gets confused at their reaction, and Broom Hatter tells him that Ringle's bell can also be weaponized. Kirby then uses his bells against King Dedede, and blows him away. Dedede doesn't give up, and slams his fists down at Kirby. Kirby [[Guard|retreats into his bell for protection]], and Dedede strikes the bell. The king's hands swell up with immense pain from this, leaving Kirby free to deal the final blow with a Quick Finale. After Kirby's triumph, he looks around to see that everyone is knocked out from all the bell sounds, except Broom Hatter, who is used to it. At Broom Hatter's request, Kirby drops his Bell ability, releasing Ringle.
