'''Kibble Blade''' is a [[Mid-Boss]] who debuted in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' that yields the [[Cutter]] [[Copy Ability]] when inhaled. Its attacks are similar to that of its smaller cousin, [[Sir Kibble]], in that it tosses the blade on its head. It can do this in several different patterns. It will also attempt to ram Kirby, much like most of the other Mid-Bosses.

===''Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition''===
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'', Kibble Blade appears in [[New Challenge Stages]], where it is fought in [[Smash Combat Chamber]] and [[Smash Combat Chamber EX]]. Kibble Blade functions just like it did in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''.

===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
Kibble Blade returns in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', now sporting a new semi-robotic look to fit with the mechanization theme of the game. It also has an upgraded version known as '''Kibble Blade 2.0'''.

When fighting its regular form in this game alongside the regular battles in both ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' and ''Super Kirby Clash'', it begins with this fixed order on loop as follows:
#Cutter Boomerang
#Charge Cutter
#Head Tackle

After losing approximately half of its health, it abruptly switches to one of two fixed orders on loop as follows:
#Jump Cutter
#3D Turning Cutter
#Head Tackle
#Charge Cutter
#Cutter Boomerang

#3D Turning Cutter
#Jump Cutter
#Head Tackle
#Cutter Boomerang
#Charge Cutter

Kibble Blade is fought three separate times in ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]'', behaving like it did in the previous game. It's fought twice on its own, and again with [[Gigant Edge]] as part of Team Mighty Cleave. It is however largely out-shined by its ice-cold cousin, [[Frost Kibble Blade]].
