Mirror is among the more enigmatic and rare abilities in Kirby's arsenal, having only four proper game appearances and only one dedicated provider (Simirror). While Kirby has this ability, his [[dash]] is replaced with a magical smooth sliding motion where Kirby moves forward in a static pose without moving his feet. Mirror Kirby's primary attack involves him swiping with his scepter and then creating a magic barrier while throwing out elongated diamond-shaped projectiles. While this barrier is up, any projectiles thrown at Kirby will be reflected back, potentially hitting the enemy who threw them. This reflection property also applies to Mirror Kirby's special bubble shield raised when he is [[guard]]ing. Mirror Kirby also gains an attack called "Mirror Body", which allows him to throw out mirror images of himself. In ''Kirby Super Star'' and ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', there is only one form of this attack, involving Kirby reflecting into two copies and flying outward on a line, then coming back. Additional forms were added in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'', allowing Kirby to create a ring of duplicate images or a string of upward-traveling ones. | Mirror is among the more enigmatic and rare abilities in Kirby's arsenal, having only four proper game appearances and only one dedicated provider (Simirror).

However, many of his attacks can strike objects through walls, though using Mirror Body for this can be tricky, and other abilities like [[Yo-Yo]] and [[Plasma]] are better choices for this task. In ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'', Mirror gains some additional use due to there being a handful of puzzles that require reflecting projectiles to solve. In this game specifically, Kirby can also reflect projectiles tossed at him from a different plane, allowing him to counterattack enemies without having to use a [[3D Warp Star]] to get to them first. | ||

Mirror Kirby's moveset in this game is very simplified, but it retains its core properties and distinct dash animation. Mirror Kirby can use Reflect Force to deflect enemy projectiles, and has two different variations of Mirror Body to go on the offensive with. Mirror Body - Spin has him splitting into six copies and then spinning them together as a circle as they travel in any direction. | Mirror Kirby's moveset in this game is very simplified, but it retains its core properties and distinct dash animation.
