“ | What's the buzz, cuz? This Cutter evolution has increased power and flying distance. It'll also ricochet off walls, so aim carefully to send it extra far! Clink, clank, BUZZZZZ! | ” | — Figure description from Kirby and the Forgotten Land |
Buzz-Saw Cutter is an Evolved Copy Ability based on Cutter that appears in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Kirby now wields a buzz-saw attached to a mechanical power saw hat, which shoots the saw forward to drag enemies along and pass through them. Unlike the previous evolutions, these buzz-saw projectiles have the ability to ricochet off walls, bouncing off of them in a mirror-like projection.
The blueprint for Buzz-Saw Cutter can be found in Searching the Oasis, in a hidden Treasure Chest off the main path behind a fence. Buzz-Saw Cutter is required to play the Treasure Road stage Off the Wall! Ricochet Switches.

フルメタルブーメラン Full-Metal Boomerang |
B | Kirby ejects a buzz-saw blade forwards. It can ricochet off walls multiple times, both when traveling outwards and when returning to Kirby, a technique called かべはんしゃ (Wall Reflection). If Kirby does not catch it, it will travel an indefinite horizontal distance, and can bounce off walls. The Japanese name of Buzz-Saw Cutter is "Full-Metal Cutter". |
Item Grab | B Aimed at the Item | Kirby's buzz-saw grabs the item and brings it to Kirby upon returning. |
ホールドチャージ Hold Charge Halt and Charge |
Hold B | By holding B, Kirby freezes the tossed Full-Metal Boomerang in midair and charges it, and Kirby can move freely while charging. There are 3 levels of charge:
|
Return Attack | Release B after Halt and Charge | After releasing B (or over a certain time period at Lv 3) during Halt and Charge, the buzz-saw blade accelerates backwards and returns to Kirby, and its power is increased as it travels further. It can bounce off walls on the return trajectory. Name given by Weapons-Shop Waddle Dee. |
からたけわり Cleaving Cleaving Cutter |
B near an enemy | Kirby takes a blade and swipes it forwards. |
カッターめったぎり Cutter Hacking Nonstop Cutter |

ファイナルカッター Final Cutter |
B after Nonstop Cutter | Kirby leaps upwards and drops downwards, dragging the nearby enemy alongside and shooting out a Beam and a Full-Metal Boomerang on landing (which can be charged into a Halt and Charge by holding B). |
