'''Plasma Wisp''' is a floating spectral [[enemy]] from the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It is essentially a ball of flaming plasma with a pair of beady eyes and two floating, gloved hands. It is usually green in hue, except as an enemy in ''Kirby Super Star'' and its remake, where it is blue instead. Plasma Wisp's main attack strategy is to hover at a distance from Kirby and fire electric blasts at him. It can be [[inhale]]d and swallowed for the [[Plasma]] [[Copy Ability]].
[[File:PlasmaWispSprite.gif|left]]
The '''Plasma Wisp''' is a recurring enemy, found in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. When portrayed as a foe, its appearance is that of a floating, blue flame with yellow hand-like appendages, and small, round, black eyes. However, when portrayed as a [[helper]], it appears a greenish hue, except in [[Helper to Hero]], as it appears blue.


==Game appearances==
Plasma Wisp hovers around an unfixed area, projecting blasts of energy towards [[Kirby]]. It uses stronger attacks if Kirby is farther away. In its helper form, it possesses all the abilities of [[Plasma]] Kirby. When Kirby swallows it, or scans it with the [[Copy]] ability, he receives the Plasma ability.

===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
[[File:KSS Plasma Wisp Sprite.png]] [[File:KSSU Plasma Wisp Helper sprite.png]] Plasma Wisp makes its debut appearance in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and also appears in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. Plasma Wisp hovers around an unfixed area, projecting blasts of energy towards [[Kirby]]. It uses stronger attacks if Kirby is farther away. In its helper form, it possesses all the abilities of [[Plasma]] Kirby. When Kirby swallows it, or scans it with the [[Copy]] ability, he receives the Plasma ability.


Notably, Plasma Wisp differs from other helpers in that it can hover in the air instead of using [[Infinity Jump]]s, similar to [[NESP]] and [[Vividria]] from ''[[Kirby Star Allies]].'' It is the only helper capable of doing so in ''Kirby Super Star'' and its remake.
==''Super Smash Bros. series''==
 
===''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/Nintendo 3DS''===
====Locations====
Plasma Wisps appear as enemies in the 3DS-exclusive mode, Smash Run. They act much the same as they did in ''Super Star'', and take a few hits to send flying.

*Plasma Wisp's figure may be based on the [[wikipedia:Will-o'-the-wisp|Will-o'-the-wisp]].

*At the end of the ''[[It's Kirby Time]]'' book ''Thank You'', [[Elline]] can be seen giving Plasma Wisp a Plasma [[Ability Item|Ability Hat]]. This could be a reference to Plasma Wisp being the only Helper from ''Kirby Super Star'' and its remake to not reprise his role in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.
