{{About|the Copy Ability|the item|[[Mike (item)]]}}
'''Mike''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that allows [[Kirby]] to defeat his opponent by shouting at them through a microphone (early games suggest that Kirby is just trying to sing when he uses the ability, but his singing is so poor that enemies are defeated through irritation or laughter). When obtaining this ability, Kirby gains a pair of red and yellow headphones with star insignia, though his hat changes while using each shout (a white baseball cap for the first, the headphones for the second, and a green spiky mohawk for the last). Typically, Kirby is allowed to use this ability up to three times, with each shout being different in character and dealing a different amount of damage (though for the vast majority of normal enemies, each shout may as well defeat them in one hit). After Kirby uses the last shout, he loses the ability. Mike can typically be obtained by swallowing [[Walky]] or [[Mr. Tick-Tock]], though a few more obscure sources for the ability exist. 

In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' and some other games, the microphone is [[Mike (item)|an item]] that [[Kirby]] can inhale. When he spits the mike out, Kirby will shout into the microphone and defeat all enemies within range.

[[File:KNiDL Ice Cream Island Stage 4.png|thumb|200px|Kirby using Mike to defeat a group of [[Scarfy|Scarfies]] in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''.]]
In ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', Mike is obtained primarily from [[Mr. Tick-Tock]], but can also be obtained by inhaling [[Paint Roller]]'s painted microphone in his boss battle. It can be used three times, and each time it is used is visually different, but the effect is the same, defeating all common enemies on screen and dealing large damage to bosses and mid-bosses. In ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'', Kirby gains three  distinct voice clips, as with ''Kirby Super Star'' onward.

===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and the game's remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', Mike is now obtained from [[Walky]]. There is no [[helper]] for the Mike ability, nor can it be obtained via a [[Copy Essence Deluxe]]. ''Kirby Super Star'' was the first game to introduce different shouts for each use of Mike.

===''Kirby Air Ride''===
[[File:KAR Nebula Belt 8.png|thumb|200px|Kirby using Mike in ''Kirby Air Ride''.]]
In ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', Kirby can obtain the Mike ability from Walky, by collecting the Copy Panel in [[City Trial]], or by using a [[Copy Chance Wheel]] or [[Mix]]. When he gets the ability, he automatically uses it, shouting once loudly into the desk mike to defeat nearby enemies and heavily damage and launch other racers. This is the only appearance of Mike in the games where it can only be used once.

In [[Top Ride]], the [[Mike (item)|Mike]] appears in item form and has the effect of stunning all racers on the track for a moment.

[[File:KRtDL White Wafers Stage 1-3.jpg|thumb|250px|Mike Kirby using his power to attack [[Gigant Edge]] in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'']]
In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', Mike returns as a limited-use ability, now gaining a regular hat that resembles the one used during the Desk Mike shout. It is once again provided by Walky. A notable difference from earlier games is that the shout now has a fixed radius — a cone in front of Kirby for the first two shouts, and a sphere surrounding him for the third — rather than covering the whole screen. In addition, Mike gains a new and more powerful variant on the third shout called "Encore", which can be activated by charging up the last shout by shaking the Wii Remote or mashing the Control Pad before releasing it.

Mike returns in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', functioning nearly identically to the way it does in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', with the only difference being Kirby's new voice clips for the ability's attacks. It is still provided solely by Walky.

In ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'', Mike can be combined with the [[Robobot Armor]] to create [[Mike Mode]]. Unlike the base ability, Mike Mode is not limited-use, and involves shooting out powerful sound waves from giant boom boxes to defeat enemies.

===''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse''===
In ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'', Mike Kirby cameos in the [[Jukebox#Kirby and the Rainbow Curse|Music Room]], but Mike is not a usable ability in the game itself.

===''Kirby Battle Royale''===
While Mike isn't a playable Copy Ability in ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'', Mike Kirby makes a cameo in [[Jukebox#Kirby Battle Royale|Music Collection]] menu.

===''Kirby Star Allies''===
[[File:KSA Echos Edge 05.jpg|thumb|250px|Kirby using Mike on [[Bonkers]] in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.]]
In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', Mike retains its moveset from the previous three main-series games. It also has a new [[Friend Ability]] called [[Fatal Chorus]] where Kirby and his [[friend]]s join in chorus to shout a loud chord, dealing even more damage than Stand Mike & Encore.

{{Quote|I forgot how terrible Mike Kirby's singing is!|[[Tiff]], from [[Fitness Fiend]]}}
Mike (also referred to as "Microphone" by [[Meta Knight (anime character)|Meta Knight]]) appears in two (technically three) episodes of the anime series ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''. The first appearance is in [[Abusement Park]], when Kirby inadvertently eats [[Walky]] while trying to inhale a picture of a [[watermelon]] on a television screen. When Kirby has the Mike ability, he is filled with the urge to sing, which is so loud and destructive that it can destroy buildings and defeat [[monster]]s. In Abusement Park, Mike Kirby is sent through the [[Monster Delivery System]] in order to be ganged up by monsters in [[eNeMeE's Fortress]], but his singing is so powerful that each monster is destroyed, and the [[N.M.E. Sales Guy]] is forced to send him back, where his singing then destroys [[Castle Dedede]].

In [[Fitness Fiend]], Kirby inhales [[Max Flexer]]'s headset after enduring his dangerous fitness routine. When he gains the Mike ability, he starts to sing again, destroying Castle Dedede for a second time and defeating Max Flexer in the process.

Mike Kirby also appears (albeit as a recording) in [[The Kirby Quiz]], making this the last time Mike Kirby is mentioned in the anime series.

In the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], the Mike ability appears in ''[[Kirby and the Dangerous Gourmet Mansion?!]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Big Race in Pupupu Land!]]'', where [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] obtains it from [[Walky]]. With this [[Copy Ability]], Kirby can sing loud and destructive songs, capable of destroying caves and making others faint.

In ''Kirby and the Dangerous Gourmet Mansion?!'', [[Sir Kibble]], [[Wheelie]], and Walky lead Kirby, [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]], and [[Meta Knight (novel character)|Meta Knight]] into the cave they held [[Mrs. Parfaitski]] hostage in after explaining why they had done so. She is found tied to a thick post deep in the cave. When Meta Knight questions Mrs. Parfaitski about the chefs she locked away, she refuses to release them. Before the group leaves to search her mansion, Kirby comes up with an idea. Kirby inhales Walky to gain the Mike ability. He then sings his own loud, ear-splitting song about foods he likes, much to everyone's dismay. Kirby thinks they are emotionally moved by it, and continues, until he notices that the cave is collapsing. The group rushes out of the cave before it falls into a complete ruin. A tearful Mrs. Parfaitski finally gives in and agrees to free her chefs, after experiencing Kirby's horrible singing without even being able to cover her ears. Kirby does a somersault in satisfaction, dropping his Mike ability. A confused Walky is freed, and Sir Kibble remarks that Walky was lucky to miss out on Kirby's song.

In ''Kirby: Big Race in Pupupu Land!'', when Kirby learns that the third checkpoint of the race is a singing competition to see who can sing the loudest, he decides to inhale Walky to get the Mike ability and win, and he does as such. When he sings, his song is so loud that it causes everyone around him to faint. When Kirby finishes the song, he notices everyone lost their consciousness, and tries to wake them up, to no avail. He decides to simply hop back on his [[Warp Star (Kirby Air Ride)|Warp Star]] and continue the race. Not soon after, everyone ends up waking up and going back to the race. Kirby, having an easy time on the lead, ends up getting attacked by [[Mr. Frosty]], who is angry at him for having inhaled him not long before that. Mr. Frosty attacks Kirby throwing lumps of ice, one of which hits Kirby and makes him lose his Mike ability. Walky, now freed, is angry that Kirby inhaled him, much like Mr. Frosty.

In ''Kirby: The Mysterious Incident on the Pupupu Train?!'', Kirby obtains the Mike ability from Walky to try to wake up those under the effect of the slumbercumbers they accidentally ate. It ends up working, although [[York]], one of those that were awake and hadn't fallen under the effect of the cucumbers, ends up not covering his ears and faints due to Kirby's extremely loud singing.

==Trivia==
*Mike Kirby in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' uses the same sound effect [[King Dedede]] makes when he is defeated in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' - this sound effect is also used for [[Mike (item)|an item with a similar effect]] to this Copy Ability. The sound returns in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', albeit only for the Megaphone.
*In ''Kirby Super Star'', the scream Kirby makes with the Stand Microphone was voiced by [[Masahiro Sakurai]]. According to him, he says "Chesto!", which is a Japanese battle cry originating from the Satsuma province (now Kagoshima).<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20171010105955/https://www.nintendo.com/super-nes-classic/interview-kirby/ Super NES Classic interview about ''Kirby Super Star'']</ref>
**Additionally, the scream Kirby makes with the Desk Mike in that game was a recording done by one of the clerks at [[HAL Laboratory]] at the time.<ref>{{twitterlink|Sora_Sakurai|28502973470474240|@Sora_Sakurai|wbsnap=y}}; {{twitterlink|amesho_h|28502622088466434|for the question|wbsnap=y}}</ref>
*When Kirby sings his reprise of [[Kihon wa Maru]] in the Japanese version of [[Abusement Park]], it is possible to hear a sad horn in the background to reflect his sub-optimal performance. His singing even warps the wormhole as he travels through it.
*Several official Japanese sources state that Kirby is tone deaf.<ref>{{cite|歌好きだが、音痴。("Likes singing, despite being tone deaf.")|[http://web.archive.org/web/20030206070715/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0003/miryoku/ "Get to know the charms of the popular character, Kirby!"]|Nintendo Online Magazine}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|quote=歌は好きだが音痴 ("Likes singing despite being tone deaf.")|book=[https://web.archive.org/web/20200609004402if_/https://shogakukan.tameshiyo.me/9784091065117?page=4 20th Anniversary Kirby Pupupu Encyclopedia]|publisher=Shogakukan|page=15}}</ref> This is the apparent reason why his singing harms enemies, though the description of the [[Mike (item)|Mike]] item from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' also suggests that his singing is so bad that enemies explode with laughter.<ref>{{Cite|I'm not a very good singer and I sometimes sing off key, but King Dedede's bullies can't stand to hear me sing and will just explode with laughter when I puff out the microphone.|''Kirby's Dream Land'' instruction manual|page 14}}</ref>
