Cutter is an ability primarily obtained by absorbing a boomerang-throwing enemy. This power allows Kirby to perform one of several boomerang-like attacks, the actual variations of which vary between games.
Game Appearances
Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra
In Kirby Super Star and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby can also obtain the cutter ability through Copy Essence Deluxes. With the cutter ability equipped, Kirby can create Sir Kibble as a helper. Kirby's visual appearance only changes by the addition of a yellow helmet.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
The Cutter copy ability undergoes a redesign in the third dimension, in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, though the method used to obtain it is identical to previous versions. Instead of throwing some sort of sharp projectile, Kirby uses his own flesh to produce a boomerang-like weapon that can be used in the same fashion. New to The Crystal Shards is the process of copy ability upgrading and intermixing - the Cutter ability can be upgraded simply by swallowing two boomerang-like or boomerang-throwing enemies; the new power will be a large, curvaceous projectile that is created from a great percentage Kirby's small body, not to mention the spikes the boomerang boasts on its outer edge.
Like all copy abilities in The Crystal Shards, the Cutter ability can be mixed with other abilities to produce different effects. For example, mixing the Fire and Cutter copy abilities will yield a flaming sword, a power that takes both attributes into account, while intertwining the Bomb and Cutter abilities will yield a explosive throwing-star projectile.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land
Official Artwork from Kirby's Return to Dream Land
The Cutter copy ability is also existent in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Kirby's Cutter Ability is fairly similar in appearance and functionality to the Cutter Kirby in Kirby Super Star. The Cutter ability is used often to cut ropes, notably, one Energy Sphere in the game requires use of Cutter Boomerang to access, and cannot be accessed with any other ability. The Cutter ability has no ultra form.
