Beam is an ability primarily obtained by absorbing a Beam-using enemy, such as Waddle Doos or Laser Balls, as well as by using Copy Pedestals. It allows Kirby to perform one of several beam attacks, such as a magical beam whip attack, which is useful for hitting switches, Bomb Blocks, and Star Blocks behind solid walls in order to get to hidden areas and items. Typically, Kirby obtains a red and yellow jester hat when this copy ability is obtained.

Notable Game Appearances

Kirby's Adventure

Beam Kirby first appeared in Kirby's Adventure where his Copy Abilities debuted. This ability allows the unknown reader to swing a beam downwards in front of Kirby by pressing B button. Kirby's sprite doesn't change upon swallowing this ability.

Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra

Beam Kirby appears in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, with powers typically expected from Beam Kirby. In the sub-game Milky Way Wishes, Kirby may also obtain and keep the Beam ability by using Copy Essence Deluxes. If Kirby has the Beam ability, he may transform the ability into a Waddle Doo as a helper. Kirby's appearance changes with a jester hat with stars, as well as turning yellow.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land

Beam Kirby reappears in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. In addition to Beam Kirby's typical move-set, Kirby can execute a infinite loop beam whip in mid-air. Because of the multiplayer possibility that there may be several different Template:Coloured Kirbies, there is no yellow shading of Kirby when Kirby obtains the Beam ability. In addition, the jester hat only has the yellow sectioned adorned with stars.

There is a super variant of this ability known as Flare Beam.

Brawl Trophy Description

"Kirby in a jester cap...and a supercute Kirby at that. Beam Kirby features a Beam ability, acquired by inhaling Waddle Doo, that allows him to shoot a whip-like 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/Kirby's Fun Pak, this beam can also be charged and fired."

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Beam Kirby reappears as a collectible trophy.

Wii U Trophy Description

"Waddle Doo can fire beams from his eye. Does that make you green with envy? Then inhale him and copy that ability! You'll then be able to shoot beams from a wand, and the attack can even be charged up for greater effectiveness. You can also use a beam to push switches or to grab and toss your foes."

Kirby: Planet Robobot

Beam is one of the abilities compatible with the Robobot Armor. Here, it can be used to conduct electricity, similar to Spark, which is also in the game.

Trivia

  • Beam is the very first Copy Ability that was introduced in the Kirby series, and has appeared in nearly every main series installment since then.
