'''Wing''' is a [[Copy Ability]] which debuted in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. It allows [[Kirby]] to fly quickly through the air, as well as perform several graceful wing maneuvers, dive-bombs, and charge attacks, along with the somewhat less graceful Feather Gun attack, though this attack can be used to cut [[rope]]s and other such obstacles. Typically provided by [[Birdon]], this ability grants Kirby a bright yellow feather headdress and red stripes in place of his normal cheek marks (though the stripes have not been seen since ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''). Wing Kirby's superior speed makes this ability the obvious choice for rushing through stages quickly in most games it appears in. It also was given the [[Power Effect|Bluster]] effect in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', being able to impart allies' weapons with the element.

In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', Kirby can obtain the Wing ability through the enemy [[Birdon]] or a [[Copy Essence]]. With the Wing ability equipped, Kirby can then create Birdon as a [[helper]].

{{Quote|This ability allows Kirby to lift off his Air Ride machine and sail around like a bird for a limited amount of time!|''Kirby Air Ride'' North American instruction booklet, page 40}}
The Wing ability appears in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', and can be obtained from the enemy [[Flappy]]. When Kirby gains this ability, he temporarily eschews his [[Air Ride Machine]] and flies with the ability along the race track at high speed. While in possession of the ability, Kirby gains considerable agility and flight power, and can perform a spinning dive when using a [[Quick Spin]], though he loses access to the [[Boost (move)|boost technique]]. After a short time, Kirby loses this ability and returns to normal.

[[Meta Knight (Kirby Air Ride)|Meta Knight]] has permanent access to flight in a similar fashion to the Wing ability.

=== ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' ===
The Wing ability reappears in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', where it is acquired from a Wing Copy Essence or from the [[Owgulf]] enemy. It is the final Copy Ability to be introduced in normal gameplay, as the first Owgulf does not appear until [[Nutty Noon]], although it can be acquired earlier on by [[Mix]]ing abilities or from the Wing Copy Essence found in [[Cookie Country]]'s [[HAL Room]]. Compared to ''Kirby Super Star'' and ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', Wing's attacks are stronger and, like many Copy Abilities in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', many of its moves render Kirby invulnerable to a greater degree than in previous games.

In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', Wing Kirby's hat was given a slight redesign. The wings were changed from two pairs of lighter wings to a single heavier pair. In addition, the feather crown has had its shape changed (most notably in the back, now resembling an additional smaller green set of wings that aren't used in flight) and a small red gem has been added to the crest, making the hat resemble many of Kirby's other elemental hats such as [[Fire]], [[Water]], or [[Spark]]. The pattern on the crest has also been changed.

===''Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition''===
Wing Kirby makes an appearance in the [[New Challenge Stages]], where it functions identically to the way it did in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. There is a [[Wing Challenge (New Challenge Stages)|challenge stage]] dedicated to the ability, and it can also be used in most of the [[Magolor]] race stages.

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
Wing returns in this game, more-or-less the same as it was in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. [[Birdon]] reappears to provide the ability.

===''Kirby Star Allies''===
Wing returns in this title, along with [[Birdon]] as a [[Helper|Friend]]. Wing can imbue other abilities with the Bluster [[Power Effect]], and can also be used in conjunction with [[Fire]] or [[Burning Leo]] to perform [[Rising Sizzler]]. Aside from this, it remains relatively unchanged from its appearance in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''. This ability can also be provided by [[Void Termina]] and 2 of its variants through its cyan drop stars it drops on its 4th phase.

{{quote|He has transformed into...Wing Kirby!|[[Meta Knight (anime character)|Meta Knight]], in [[Waste Management]]}}
The Wing Copy Ability makes only one appearance in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', in the episode [[Waste Management]]. Here, Kirby gains this ability by swallowing an errant crow feather and uses the ability to attack [[Crowemon]] and his crow army. He uses the Feather Gun to shoot several crows out of the sky, and he then uses the Condor Head technique to strike Crowemon and free [[Dyna Chick]] from the giant monster bird's clutches. Aside from these two attacks, Wing Kirby's main ability is flying rapidly through the air.

==Trivia==
*Originally, the hat for the Wing Ability also changed Kirby's cheek marks, turning them into two parallel red lines often associated with [[wikipedia:Plains Indians|various Plains Indian tribes]]. This feature is present on Wing Kirby's sprites in ''Kirby Super Star'' and its remake, along with various 3D depictions. Starting with ''Kirby Air Ride'' and more concretely by ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', this aspect of the hat was removed, likely to appease concerns that the costume was appropriating said cultures. Moreover, in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', changes were made to the design of the hat of the ability itself to make it look less like a [[wikipedia:War bonnet|war bonnet]], presumably for similar reasons.
