}}{{distinguish|the electric [[Copy Ability]] present in most Kirby games|[[Plasma]]}}
'''Spark''' is a recurring [[Copy Ability]] in the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby'' series]]'' that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and has since been established as one of Kirby's most iconic and common abilities, alongside powers like [[Fire]] and [[Ice]], particularly due to being among the few abilities to appear in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' and ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. Kirby can absorb this power by [[Inhale|inhaling]] enemies such as [[Sparky]], [[Elec]], [[Dubior]], or eating projectiles from certain enemies and bosses. When Kirby gains the Spark ability, he typically gains a gold tiara with a large circular blue gem at the crest, topped by frizzy blue electric waves.

Spark is normally of the defensive type, like [[Freeze]] or [[Needle]], which means Kirby will station himself in one position while executing the power as it surrounds his body and destroys enemies that make contact with the barrier. Starting with ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', however, Spark started to gain attributes that made it more similar to [[Plasma]] (another electricity-based ability), by allowing Kirby to charge up and release energy projectiles which can pass through walls and other solid objects. This was further established in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' when Spark was given additional powers, which led to the general assumption that Spark and Plasma were being fused into the singular Spark, similar to how [[Fire]] combined with [[Burning]] and [[Ice]] combined with [[Freeze]]. However, this assumption was overturned when Plasma returned in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', this time being reworked to incorporate elements from Spark. It is now unclear which ability will dominate going forward, as both are now very similar, with only a few visual and moveset differences.

===''Kirby's Adventure'' / ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===
[[File:KA Grape Garden Stage 2 screenshot 02.png|thumb|200px|Kirby using the Spark ability to defeat enemies in ''Kirby's Adventure''.]]
[[File:KA Spark Kirby sprite.png]] The Spark ability first appeared in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', where [[Kirby]] can shoot sparks of electricity out of his body in a defensive move similar to [[Needle]]. It is provided by Sparky.

In ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', Kirby gains a hat that resembles that of [[Plasma]].

===''Kirby's Dream Course''===
[[File:KDCSparkKirby.png]] Spark returns in ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'', where it can be obtained from [[Sparky]], or [[Transformer]] (in the 2-player mode only). With it Kirby surrounds itself with electricity until he stops moving, which can be used to defeat [[Whispy Woods]] and [[Kracko]], and it is the only way to defeat them. Unlike the other abilities, Spark does not provide any movement changes.

===''Kirby's Dream Land 2''===
[[File:KDL2 Kirby Spark sprite.png]] Spark reappears in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]''. Kirby acquires this ability from [[Master Green]] and [[Sparky]]. By itself, this ability performs similar to the one in ''Kirby's Adventure''. 

When on an [[Animal Friend]], however, Kirby can perform variations of the ability, as detailed in the following table:

{| class="wikitable" border=1 cellpadding=2
!Animal Friend
!Appearance
!Description
|-
|[[Coo]]
|{{center|[[File:KDL2 Coo Spark sprite.png]]}}
|Kirby shoots out a single lightning bolt below him. 
|-
|[[Kine]]
|{{center|[[File:KDL2 Kine Spark sprite.png]]}}
|A light bulb appears from Kine's mouth, which can harm foes and illuminate dark areas, revealing hidden doors, similar to the [[Light]] ability. Letting go of the B button launches it forward, exploding when it collides with something or the button is pressed again. 
|-
|[[Rick]]
|{{center|[[File:KDL2 Rick Spark sprite.png]]}}
|Enables Rick to use a whip of electricity, like the Beam ability seen in other games. 
|}
Throughout ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'', there are specific blocks which can be broken only with the Spark ability. They resemble dark circuit boards.

===''Kirby's Block Ball''===
{{Quote|The ball sparks for a period of time, running through the blocks it strikes.|''Kirby's Block Ball'' North American instruction booklet}}
In ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]'', Spark is one of the four abilities that Kirby can utilize, obtaining it by colliding with Sparky. When using this ability, Kirby flares up with electricity, causing him to break most blocks he passes through while the electric field is active. Unlike the other abilities, Spark does not affect Kirby's trajectory.

===''Kirby's Dream Land 3''===
[[File:KDL3 Grass Land Stage 1 screenshot 09.png|thumb|200px|In ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'', combining Spark with [[Nago]] results in an attack where Nago rubs Kirby to give him static, then can roll him into enemies to defeat them with shocks.]]
[[File:KDL3 Spark Kirby sprite.png]] Spark makes another appearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''; yet again, being provided by by Sparky, [[Bobin]], and the yellow staff-wielding [[Bukiset]]. It functions similarly to its previous appearance in ''Kirby's Dream Land 2''. New Animal Friends, though, create more Spark-related abilities with Kirby or [[Gooey]], as follows:

{| class="wikitable" border=1 cellpadding=2
!Animal Friend
!Appearance
!Description
|-
|[[ChuChu]]
|align=center|[[File:KDL3 Chuchu Spark sprite.png]]
|ChuChu shoots a laser from her tentacle which flies straight forward and can defeat enemies, similar to the Laser ability. Unlike said ability, however, the laser will rebound off of flat walls if charged. 
|-
|[[Coo]]
|{{center|[[File:KDL3 Coo Spark sprite.png]]}}
|Kirby shoots out a single lightning bolt below him. 
|-
|[[Kine]]
|{{center|[[File:KDL3 Kine Spark sprite.png]]}}
|A light bulb appears in Kine's mouth while the Y button is held, which can harm foes and briefly illuminate dark areas, revealing hidden doors and symbols. The bulb breaks after a few seconds, keeping it from giving light; letting go of the button and then activating the ability again fixes it. 
|-
|[[Nago]]
|align=center|[[File:KDL3 Nago Spark sprite.png]]
|Nago rubs Kirby as long as the Y button is held, creating static electricity around him. Every enemy he touches while charged up is destroyed, but neutralizes some electricity. The longer Kirby is rubbed, the more foes he can defeat before returning to normal, up to a maximum of eight. 
|-
|[[Pitch]]
|{{center|[[File:KDL3 Pitch Spark sprite.png]]}}
|Kirby uses a remote control to make Pitch fly through the air freely, moving through walls and taking out adversaries. Pitch is controlled with the directional pad and returns to Kirby when the Y button is pressed. While controlling Pitch, Kirby cannot move. If he takes damage, Pitch returns to him automatically. 
|-
|[[Rick]]
|{{center|[[File:KDL3 Rick Spark sprite.png]]}}
|Enables Rick to use a whip of electricity, like the Beam ability seen in other games. 
|}
Throughout ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'', there are specific blocks which can be broken only with the Spark ability. They are marked with the Spark icon.

===''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''===
[[File:K64 A Spark.png|thumb|100px|Kirby using Spark in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''.]]
Spark is one of the base abilities that appears in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. There are a fair number of enemies that provide it this time around, including Sparky, [[Plugg]], and [[Zoos]]. On its own, the ability functions like normal, with Kirby generating a small spark barrier around himself. When combined with another ability or itself to make [[Power Combo]]s, Spark creates a wide variety of different moves with varying functions, from [[Ice-Spark|a refrigerator that produces food]] to [[Spark-Cutter|an electric quarterstaff]].

===''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' and ''Kirby: Squeak Squad''===
[[File:KNiDL Spark sprite.png]] In ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', Spark appears as an ability, unchanged from its appearance in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. It is once again provided by Sparky.

It reappears in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', bearing the same look and initial moves as before. There is a special mechanic to the ability unique to this game in [[Cushy Cloud - Stage 5|Stage 5]] of [[Cushy Cloud]], where Spark Kirby can use his spark attack to power clouds, causing them to move while holding the barrier up. In addition, after collecting the Spark [[Ability Scroll]], Kirby gains the ability to charge up and release [[Plasma]] waves, marking the first time the abilities were merged to a degree.

===''Kirby: Canvas Curse''===
In ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', Spark's main function was changed. Instead of only covering an area around him, a smaller area is covered, while firing a lightning of electricity above Kirby. If Kirby keeps using Spark while in mid-air, he will hover in place.

=== ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' ===
[[File:KRtDL E3 2011 press kit screenshot - Spark Kirby.png|thumb|200px|Kirby using the Spark ability in a pre-release version of ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.]]
The ability reappears in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', where, in addition to generating the familiar barrier of electricity, it enables Kirby to fire lightning upwards or downwards. It has been combined with some attributes of [[Plasma]], letting the player "charge" the ability by rotating the directional pad or shaking the controller and discharge it in form of a projectile. New providers of Spark include [[Elec]] and the [[Mid-Boss]] [[Dubior]], as well as some of [[Metal General]]'s attacks.

|}
Spark Attack cannot be performed while there is any amount of Charge Power.

===''Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition''===
Spark appears in the [[New Challenge Stages]] [[Sub-Game]], looking and behaving exactly as it did in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. There is [[Spark Challenge|a challenge stage]] in Happiness Hall dedicated to the ability, and it can be used in all of the Magolor Races except [[Magolor Race 2]].

===''Kirby Triple Deluxe''===
[[File:KTD Spark Wave attack screenshot.png|thumb|250px|Spark Kirby using Spark Wave on [[Pyribbit]] in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'']]
Spark returns in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', functioning almost identically to the way it did in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', though this time lacking the Thunderbolt and Lightning Strike moves. It can be obtained from Sparky, as well as [[Queen Sectonia]]'s [[Antler|Green Antlers]] and Floral Spark Bullet.

===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
The Spark ability appears in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', where its electrical properties come in handy when powering [[Wire (object)|wires]] and circuits. In this game, there are many attacks and defenses which Kirby can use when he takes this form, as he regains the moves he lost in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''. It is also [[Spark Mode|compatible with]] the [[Robobot Armor]], giving the mechanical suit an extremely powerful plasma cannon.

{{Quote|He is now...Spark Kirby!|[[Meta Knight (anime character)|Meta Knight]], in [[Dedede's Raw Deal]]}}
The Spark Copy Ability makes four distinct appearances in the anime series ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''. Though it first appears in the [[Kirby of the Stars Pilot]], its first appearance in the proper series is in [[Dedede's Raw Deal]]. Using this ability, [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] is able to generate powerful fields of static electricity, and can also fire balls of lightning at his opponents.

Spark Kirby's hat resembles the one he was given in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', though it changes the design of the tiara and changes the energy coming out of the hat to make it more triangular, and the design of this variant of the hat carries forward to the later games in the ''Kirby'' series. Spark Kirby also looks identical to how he does in his [[:File:KNiDL Spark artwork.png|artwork]] from that game, suggesting that it was possibly the animators' only reference. The anime version of Spark also references the similar [[Plasma]] ability during Kirby's transformation sequence, as he starts with a head of teal fire resembling the Plasma hat before gaining the proper Spark hat. He also turns green when using the hat, which was at the time a distinct feature of the Plasma ability.

==In the ''Kirby'' novel series==
[[File:V3 Illustration 12.png|thumb|200px|Kirby gives Spinni and Doc a good shock in ''[[Kirby Meets the Squeak Squad!]]'']]
In the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], the Spark ability appears in ''[[Kirby Meets the Squeak Squad!]]'', where [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] obtains it from [[Sparky]]. With this [[Copy Ability]], Kirby can generate an electrical barrier around him that can numb anyone that gets hit by it.

In ''Kirby Meets the Squeak Squad!'', the [[Squeaks]] sneak into [[Castle Dedede]] in the middle of the night, and steal the egg that Kirby is tasked with protecting. Kirby chases after them outside, and [[Daroach]] commands [[Spinni]] and [[Doc]] to fight Kirby while he escapes with the egg. Sparky comes in to complain about all the noise, and the group notices that they are right in front of his house. Kirby is delighted to see Sparky, and inhales him to get the Spark ability. Kirby then uses this to shock Spinni and Doc, instantly defeating them. Spinni is knocked out, and Doc's machine malfunctions and flies away. With those two out of the way, Kirby chases after Daroach. When Kirby catches up, he quickly shocks Daroach and takes back the egg. When Kirby makes his way back to the castle, he drops his Spark ability to free Sparky, who is angry at Kirby, and returns to his house.
