| ===''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble''===
| | In ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', keys can be found at various points in certain stages, often tucked away in obscure locations or held by certain enemies. Keys can also occasionally be found out in the open near the beginning of a room or area, with the challenge merely being getting it to its destination. A key can be grabbed and held by one of the Kirbys, but if that Kirby is harmed, he will drop the key and it will shatter. Keys are used to unlock [[Treasure|Treasure Chest]]s, which typically contain [[Medal]]s. There is also a special variety of key called the [[Skull Key]], which warps the Kirbys to a battle with the [[Skull Gang]] when collected. |

| Keys can be collected at various points in ''[[Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble]]'' from [[? Hole]]s, from behind enemies, or from inside [[Treasure Chest]]s. They are used to unlock certain barriers that otherwise impede Kirby's progress.

| | The Key can be picked up, carried, and thrown like many other items in the game. Similarly, the character holding the Key can only make one jump and cannot use any attack but a [[Slide]]. When thrown, the Key can deal minor damage to enemies. The key can be used on any gate with a lock, and unlocking a gate will remove both key and gate from existence. Additionally, while holding the key, certain enemies, such as [[Scarfy|Hunter Scarfies]] and [[Degout|Hunter Degouts]] will pursue the carrier until that character no longer has the Key. |

| | In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', holding on to a Key for too long will cause it to grow unstable and eventually shatter, much like the other items in the game. However, in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' and onward, that limit has been removed. ''Triple Deluxe'' also introduces locked [[door]]s which can be opened using a key. |

| Much like other items in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', Kirby cannot [[inhale]] a key, but he can use his inhale to grab it from behind thin walls and other barriers.
| | [[Key Dee]]s are [[Waddle Dee]]-like enemies that carry Keys. Usually Kirby and his friends will need to catch up with and dispatch this enemy to get its Key before that enemy runs off an edge with it or unlocks an undesirable door. |
