A Super Ability is a new form of Copy Ability that is introduced in, and currently exclusively available for, Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Super Abilities are exaggerated and powerful forms of normal Copy Abilities. Super Abilities are rather rare, and can be obtained by swallowing "super" enemies or defeating a mid-boss that holds the Super Ability (currently the only mid-boss that holds a Super Ability is Super Bonkers). Super Abilities are present primarily at the end of a stage, and allow Kirby to destroy large obstacles, activate large switches, and defeat several enemies on the screen; destroying these times and activating switches often open up the path that Kirby must follow. All Super Abilities are timed, meaning the Kirby will lose the Super Ability when the time runs out. In instances where a super ability is present, there will always be a final obstacle that needs to be reached and destroyed or activated. Upon doing so, a rift to an alternate dimension is opened, where Kirby may obtain two additional Energy Spheres from defeating the Sphere Doomer in the alternate dimension after surviving a scrolling obstacle course. All Super Ability enemies (excluding Super Bonkers) can be regenerated after defeat if Kirby goes left so the platform the enemy stands on is off the screen, the enemy will come back to it's original location. Kirby can get a new Super Ability for further use.
Abilities
| Super Abilities in Kirby's Return to Dream Land | ||

| Flare Beam | Super Waddle Doo | This is a super version of the Beam ability. It allows Kirby to freely control an electric ball that can destroy star-marked enemies and obstacles as well as electrify light switches. |
| Grand Hammer | Super Bonkers | This is a super version of the Hammer ability. It gives Kirby three stages of charge to hammer down large stakes and produce shockwaves. This is currently the only super ability to be obtained from a Mid-Boss. |
| Monster Flame | Super Hot Head | This is a super version of the Fire ability. It gives Kirby the ability to summon a fiery dragon that flies horizontally and and destroys star-marked enemies and obstacles on its way. |
| Snow Bowl | Super Chilly | This is a super version of the Ice ability. It gives Kirby the ability to become a large snowball that can roll and jump, destroying star-marked enemies and obstacles on his way. |

Trivia
- There are models of a "Super Cutter" hat in the game, but it is believed to have been cut during development, possibly due to resemblances to Ultra Sword. There are also icons for a "Super Spark" ability. This could have been cut due to similarities with Flare Beam.
- Monster Flame and Snow Bowl are the only Super Abilities that don't have the normal counterpart's name in them.
- Ultra Sword and Snow Bowl are the only Super Abilities whose names don't have any change in the English localization.
- Excluding boss battles, each Super Ability appears exactly three times in the stages.
- Flare Beam: Raisin Ruins - Stage 2, Nutty Noon - Stage 2, Egg Engines - Stage 3.
- Grand Hammer: White Wafers - Stage 2, Nutty Noon - Stage 4, Dangerous Dinner - Stage 2.
- Monster Flame: Coookie Country - Stage 4, Onion Ocean - Stage 3, Egg Engines - Stage 1
- Snow Bowl: Onion Ocean - Stage 1, White Wafers - Stage 4, Dangerous Dinner - Stage 1.
- Ultra Sword: Coookie Country - Stage 1, Raisin Ruins - Stage 4, Dangerous Dinner - Stage 3.
- If any Super Ability is hacked into a boss battle in Kirby's Return to Dream Land (except for Grand Doomer and Magolor in Main/Extra Mode with their shields), it can defeat even a boss in one hit, suggesting Super Abilities simply have a hitbox of OHKO.[1][2]
- Ultra Sword has become Kirby's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, replacing Cook Kirby from Brawl.
- Hypernova in Kirby: Triple Deluxe is basically a Super Inhale, except Kirby has unlimited use of it until he finishes the stage.
