'''Sword''' [[Born to Be Mild|is a]] [[Copy Ability]] [[Broom Hatter|which]] [[Galactic Nova|grants]] [[Kirby]] [[Blade Knight|a blade]] [[Item|to wield]] [[Vs. King Dedede|against]] [[Kirby|his]] [[enemy|foes]]. [[Drawing Song|First]] [[Squeak Squad Appears!|appearing in]] ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', this is one of [[Kirby|Kirby's]] [[Great Elder of the Magic Guild|oldest]] and most [[Copy Essence|essential]] [[Copy Ability|abilities]], and has since become one of the most ubiquitous and recognizable [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] [[Kirby (series)|in the series]] - often being among the [[Drawing Song|first]] (if not [[Squeak Squad|the very]] [[Drawing Song|first]]) seen. When utilizing it, [[Kirby]] [[Kirby's Pet Peeve|adopts]] a [[Green Greens|green]] [[Costumes|hat]] with a [[Yearning for Yellow (Vroom!)|yellow]] brim and a [[Cheer Pom-Poms|pompom]] [[List of Kirby Fighters 2 loading screen tips|at its tip]], [[Gryll|which]] [[Galactic Nova|grants]] [[Kirby|him]] a [[Cook|look]] [[Simirror|similar]] to that of [[zeldawiki:Link|Link]] from the ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda series]]''. [[The Beginner's Room (theme)|The most]] [[Como|common]] way to [[Orbservor|obtain]] the Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]] is by [[inhale|inhaling]] [[Sword Knight]], [[Blade Knight]], or the [[Mid-Boss]] [[Gigant Edge]]. [[Sword Mode|Sword]] is also [[Notes|notable]] for [[Big Bean Vine|being]] one of the [[Copy Ability|abilities]] that [[Jumbo Candy|can be]] used [[Water (environment)|underwater]], [[King Dedede|making]] it [[Ribbon|very]] versatile. [[Door|In]] ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' [[Pon & Con|and]] ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', there [[Jun Ishikawa|is a]] [[Super Ability|super version of]] [[Copy Ability|this ability]] [[Caller|called]] [[Ultra Sword]].

[[Timed Dynamite|When]] [[Key Dee|carrying]] a Sword, [[Kirby]] [[Magoloran Launch|can also summon a]] [[Blade Knight]] [[CPU|and use him as a]] [[Helper]] [[Battle Arena|in battle]].  

Additionally, in [[Meta Knightmare Ultra]], [[Meta Knight]] [[Dream Rod|can summon a]] [[Blade Knight]] (and sometimes, a [[Sword Knight]]) as his [[Helper]].

The Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]] [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|returns in]] ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' in its usual function. Its [[Template:Move|moveset]] [[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror|in this game]] [[Simirror|is similar to]] ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' [[Slash & Bead|and]] ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. Additionally, [[Kirby]] can now [[Chain Bomb|chain]] [[Kirby|his]] sword [[Slash & Bead|slashes]] together, which makes [[Kirby|him]] able to attack very [[Quick Fall|rapidly]]. [[Kirby]] is now also able to use [[Final Cutter]] (instead called [[Final Cutter|Final Sword]]) against [[Enemy|enemies]], a [[Techno Factory|technique]] which is usually exclusive to the [[Cutter]] [[Copy Ability|ability]]. A more [[Power Combo|powerful]] [[Master|version of the Sword]] [[Copy Ability|ability]] is also featured [[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror|in this game]], [[Caller|called]] [[Master]]. [[Kirby]] [[Copy Essence|obtains]] [[Copy Ability#Special Abilities|this special ability]] [[Dimension Mirror (level)|in the]] [[Dark Mind|final boss battle]], [[GRAB THIS!|after picking up]] [[Meta Knight]]'s [[Galaxia|sword]].

Curiously, [[Kirby]] is depicted with the Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]] on the [[:File:KatAM cover art.jpg|American box art]] of ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''.

!colspan=4|<small>Attack names are taken from the ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]] [[Nintendo]] [[:Category:Official screenshots|Official]] [[Ghost Book|Guidebook]]''. Applicable equivalent adapted English names from other games are listed in bold.</small>

[[Meta Knight Sword|Sword]] [[Make Friend|makes another]] appearance in the game ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', [[Item|using]] [[Ghost|the same moveset as]] ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''. After obtaining the appropriate [[Ability Scroll]], [[Kirby]] [[fuse|can infuse]] [[Kirby|his]] [[Sword Knight|sword with]] [[Francisca|ice]], [[Flamberge|fire]], [[Orabiroo|or]] [[Zan Partizanne|lightning]] [[Power Combo|by combining its]] [[Copy Ability]] [[Bubble (container)|bubble]] [[Team Attack|with the]] [[Ice]], [[Fire]] and [[Spark]] [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] [[Hail to the Chief|respectively]]. While this does not [[Super Ability|change its moveset]], [[Ability Scroll|it]] [[Pitch|adds additional power to]] [[Kirby|Kirby's]] [[Sodory|sword]] [[Kirby Card Swipe|swipes]], and allows [[Kirby|him]] [[Power Effect|to affect]] [[Enemy|enemies]] and the [[Water (environment)|environment]] [[Simirror|in a similar]] [[Dark Manor|manner]] [[Fright to the Finish|to the]] [[Power Effect|element]] [[fuse|it is infused with]]. [[Notes|Notably]], none of [[Power Effect|these elements]] can be used [[Swim|underwater]], as noted in [[Copy Ability|the abilities]]' [[Pause|pause screen description]], causing [[Kirby|Kirby's]] sword to revert to [[normal]] [[water (environment)|while submerged]].

Sword makes another appearance in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', here [[Sportle|sporting]] an expanded set of moves which would carry on to subsequent [[Kirby (series)|main-series games]]. In addition, a [[Super Ability|super]] form of this [[Copy Ability|ability]] has appeared, called the [[Ultra Sword]], found in some [[stage]]s, obtained when [[Kirby]] [[Inhale|swallows]] a [[Super Blade Knight]].

[[Meta Knight]]'s moveset as a playable [[character]] has several similarities to the Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]].

| [[Kirby]] does a [[Kirby's Quick Draw|quick]] slash over [[Kirby|his]] head striking enemies in front of [[Kirby|him]].

|[[Kirby]] holds in midair for a short moment, then [[Quick Fall|falls]] straight down with [[Kirby|his]] [[sword]] below [[Kirby|him]], [[Knock-Knock Nut|knocking]] [[Enemy|enemies]] away.

|If [[Kirby]] has full [[health]], [[Kirby|he]] can throw an [[Energy Sphere|energy]] projectile forward after using Overhead Slash.

| [[Kirby]] does a series of fast strikes with [[Kirby|his]] [[sword]] on [[Target Flight|targets]] in front of [[Kirby|him]].

| During an Upward Slash, [[Kirby]] can suddenly change direction and [[Dive Attack|dive]] downward with [[Kirby|his]] [[sword]], dragging [[Enemy|foes]] with [[Kirby|him]] and [[Launcher|launching]] [[Enemy|them]] away at the end of the [[Attack! Masked Hammer Trial|attack]].

| [[Kirby]] lunges straight forward with [[Kirby|his]] [[sword]] out, [[Piggyback|carrying]] [[Enemy|enemies]] in the [[Motion controls|motion]].

| [[Kirby]] can [[No Charge|charge]] up and then release a grounded spinning attack that catches [[Enemy|foes]] in the [[Motion controls|motion]], then throws [[Enemy|them]] out when the attack finishes. [[Kirby]] can move left and right while spinning.

| [[Kirby]] performs a [[Quick Draw|quick]] spin in the air with his [[sword]] out, hitting enemies all around [[Kirby|him]].

| [[Kirby]] can [[Charge Tank|charge]] up and then release a spinning attack while jumping that catches [[Enemy|foes]] in the [[Motion controls|motion]], then throws [[Enemy|them]] out when the attack finishes. [[Kirby]] can move left and right while spinning.<br>This move is not present in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''.

| [[Kirby]] points [[Kirby|his]] [[sword]] downward as [[Kirby|he]] [[Quick Fall|falls]], and can [[Bouncy|bounce]] on [[Enemy|enemies]] [[Kirby|he]] hits.<br>This move is not present in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''.

|[[Kirby]] raises [[Kirby|his]] [[sword]] [[Sky Waltz|skyward]] and gains a [[magic]] aura on it. [[Kirby|He]] can then use an Overhead Slash to release that [[Energy Sphere|energy]] as a projectile.<br>This move is not present in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''.  

[[File:KTD Grass cutting.png|thumb|Sword [[Kirby]] cutting some [[Grass (course)|grass]] in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''.]]

Sword makes a reappearance in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''. Like most of the returning [[Copy Ability|copy abilities]], it is mostly unchanged since its appearance in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', though it has a few new tricks. Starting here, [[Kirby]] gains the "[[Top Ride: Sky|Sky]] Energy Sword" attack, which allows [[Kirby|him]] to [[fire]] a Sword [[Beam]] at any [[level]] of [[health]] after raising [[Kirby|his]] sword in the air for a short time. This is a direct [[List of references to the Kirby series|reference]] to the [[zeldawiki:Skyward Strike|Skyward Strike]] from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]''.

In addition, Sword gains "[[Twister]] Slash", which allows [[Kirby]] to rise while using Spin Slash, and "Hat Thrust", which causes [[Kirby]] to thrust [[Kirby|his]] [[sword]] downward as [[Kirby|he]] gently falls to the ground. This move is very similar to the [[Old Odyssey|old]] version of Down Thrust seen in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''.

Sword returns in [[Kirby: Planet Robobot|this installment]], and can be combined with the [[Robobot Armor]] for [[Sword Mode|new functionality]]. In addition, [[Kirby]] can obtain this [[Copy Ability|ability]] if the player scans various [[amiibo]] of swordfighters (most notably Link). There is also a [[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition|special]] [[Meta Knight]] variant of the [[Copy Ability|ability]] that [[Kirby]] can use if the [[Kirby (series)|series]] [[Meta Knight]] [[amiibo]] is [[Copy|scanned]] in.

Sword is one of the [[Copy Ability|abilities]] available in [[Kirby Battle Royale|this title]], and is the one most prominently featured. With the Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]], [[Kirby]] can move smoothly through the [[Decisive Battlefield|battlefield]] and hit opponent [[Kirby]]s all around him with his Spin Slash. The [[Drill]] Stab move can also be performed both on the [[Green Grounds|ground]] and in the [[Top Ride: Sky|air]], though it doesn't travel as far in the air.

There are a [[02|number]] of different costumes for the Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]] as well. [[Copy|Scanning]] the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] [[Kirby]] [[amiibo]] grants a [[costume]] that represents the [[Ultra Sword]] [[Copy Ability|ability]].

Sword returns in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'' as an [[Copy Ability|ability]] for [[Kirby]]. Along with [[Bomb]] and [[Staff]], it is one of the starter [[Copy Ability|abilities]], meaning it does not need to be unlocked. Its moveset is the same as in ''Kirby Fighters Deluxe''.

For more precise competitive-oriented information on the Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]] in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'', see [https://wiki.gbl.gg/w/Kirby_Fighters_2/Sword Mizuumi Wiki's page].

[[File:KatFL Reveal Trailer Screenshot 9.png|thumb|250px|Sword [[Kirby]] battling a [[Sssnacker]] in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''.]]

The Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]] makes a [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|return]] in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', and can once again be obtained from [[Blade Knight]]. Multisword Attack and Spin Slash are available as attacks. Notably, Overhead Slash and [[Final Smash|final swing]] of Multisword Strike have been replaced with more lateral swings instead. During [[Kirby|his]] [[Kirby's Adventure|adventures]], [[Kirby]] can find a [[blueprint]], which can then be taken to [[Waddle Dee's Weapons Shop]] to [[Evolved Copy Ability|evolve the Copy Ability into new forms]]. There are [[The Three Mage-Sisters|three]] [[Evolved Copy Ability|evolved forms]] in [[Kirby and the Forgotten Land|the game]], [[Those Things That're Usually Stuck in the Ground in Dream Land|those]] being [[Gigant Sword]], [[Meta Knight Sword]], and [[Morpho Knight Sword]]. [[Gigant Sword]] is slightly slower, but has much greater range and power. [[Meta Knight Sword]] allows [[Kirby]] to [[fire]] sword [[beam]]s when he attacks and use [[Upper Calibur]]. [[Morpho Knight Sword]] allows [[Kirby]] to teleport when [[dodge]] rolling, make [[Kirby|his]] sword [[Giant Rocky|giant]] for a limited amount of [[Time Crash|time]], recover [[health]] when making combo strikes, and use two [[guard]] attacks (Sukhavati Psychic Beast on the ground, and Sukhavati Scale Wave in midair).

This [[Copy Ability|ability]] is one of [[Fourth wall|four]] accessible in [[Kirby and the Forgotten Land|the game]]'s demo. It automatically becomes one of its [[Evolved Copy Ability|evolved forms]], that being [[Gigant Sword]], once the [[The Three Mage-Sisters|three]] available [[stage]]s are complete, but this can be reverted back to the original [[Copy Ability|ability]] if the player so desires.

In addition to Sword proper, there are a number of other [[Copy Ability|abilities"]] and [[item]]s in the series which resemble the Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]], but are not exactly the same. These are as follows:

*'''[[Cutter]]''' - This [[Copy Ability|ability]] gives [[Kirby]] [[Access Ark|access]] to [[Limitless Power|unlimited]] [[Crystal Shard|sharp]] [[Boomer|boomerangs]]. While these are [[Primal Awoofy|primarily]] meant for [[throw]]ing, [[Kirby]] can use them to [[Kirby Card Swipe|swipe]] at opponents like a sword.

*'''[[Rainbow Sword]]''' - [[Kirby]] gains access to this [[Last Battle Ability]] after collecting all of the [[Rainbow Drop]]s in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', and uses it to [[Kirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!|battle]] [[Dark Matter]].

*'''[[Master]]''' - In ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', [[Kirby]] is given a powerful golden sword (which may or may not be [[Galaxia]]) by [[Meta Knight]] to [[Last Battle Ability|battle]] [[Dark Mind]] with. If [[Kirby]] loses this sword during the [[Battle Stage|battle]], it will be given back to [[Kirby|him]] by [[Shadow Kirby]] in the next phase.

*'''[[Ultra Sword]]''' - This [[Super Ability]] from ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' resembles the standard Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]], but is massively [[Power Effect|powered-up]]. [[Kirby]] uses it to clear away [[Big Bouncy|big]] obstacles and defeat certain [[boss]]es, and also uses it as [[Kirby|his]][[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

*'''[[Sword Hero]]''' - This role in the [[Team Kirby Clash (series)|''Clash'' series of games]] is based on the Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]], but it has a few differences.

*'''[[Wire (ravel ability)|Wire]]''' - This [[Ravel Ability]] in ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]'' is very similar to the Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]].

Sword makes an appearance in the [[anime]] series ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', being one of the first [[Copy Ability|abilities]] to appear. When [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] has this [[Copy Ability|ability]], [[Kirby (anime character)|he]] is able to [[Fighter|fight]] like a [[master]] [[Sword Knight|swordsman]], using [[Light|lightning]]-[[Quick Spin|quick]] attacks to [[Chop Champs|chop]] up [[monster]]s that oppose [[Kirby|him]]. [[Kirby (anime character)|His]] signature [[Techno Factory|technique]] when using the Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]] is the powerful Sword [[Beam]], which is capable of [[Cutter|cutting]] [[Cleaning|clean]] through solid objects. Although not quite the same [[Copy Ability|ability]], [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] can also wield [[Galaxia]], and wear the same [[Cappy|cap]] when doing so.

In the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], Sword is a recurring [[Copy Ability]]. It first appears in ''[[Kirby: Meta Knight and the Puppet Princess]]'', and it also makes appearances in various other novels. Moreover, [[Sword Hero]] makes appearances in ''[[Kirby Clash Team Unite!]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Super Team Kirby's Big Battle!]]''. It is obtained from [[Blade Knight]] and [[Sword Knight]], regular swords, and Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]] hats.

The following is a complete list of every appearance the Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]] has made in the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], along with the role it plays and its details in the plot of each volume:

|In this volume, during a battle with [[Baron Gallic]], when [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] realizes he learned to [[dodge]] [[Kirby (novel character)|his]] [[Air Bullet|air bullets]], [[Kirby (novel character)|he]] turns to [[Sword Knight]] and [[Blade Knight]] to [[inhale]] one of them. [[Sword Knight]] ends up being the unlucky one, and [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] gets the Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]] from [[Sword Knight|him]]. Using attacks such as Spin Slash, [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] almost finishes off [[Baron Gallic|Gallic]], but before [[Kirby (novel character)|he]] can do so, [[Baron Gallic|Gallic]] manages to [[Motion controls|control]] [[Blade Knight]] with [[Baron Gallic|his]] [[Malice Stone]]. [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] tries to stop [[Blade Knight]] from following [[Baron Gallic|Gallic]], but has no luck doing so. A bit after that, with the battle finished, [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] drops the [[Copy Ability|ability]] and frees [[Sword Knight]].

|In this volume, Sword makes a major appearance, as [[Kirby]]'s main [[Copy Ability|ability]] throughout the [[Dedede's Cake Royale|Cake Royale]], as well as a [[Minor characters|minor]] appearance as one of the many [[Copy Ability|abilities]] held by the [[Kirby (species)|Kirby clones]]. Before the tournament begins, [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] obtains the [[Copy Ability|ability]] from [[Sword Knight]], who had originally come to gather intel of the tournament for [[Meta Knight (novel character)|Meta Knight]], to use the [[Copy Ability|ability]] in said tournament. [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] uses Sword for the [[Training|tutorial round]] of [[Apple Scramble]], and for the rounds of [[Battle Arena]], [[Crazy Theater]], [[Ore Express]] and [[Flagball]]. During the fifth and final round, a [[Kirby Battle Royale|battle]] with [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]], his [[King Dedede (novel character)|Dedede]] [[Hammer]] [[Throw]] hits [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] hard enough for [[Kirby (novel character)|him]]  to lose Sword, freeing [[Sword Knight]] in the process. [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] does try to [[inhale]] [[Sword Knight|him]] to get the [[Copy Ability|ability]] back, but [[Sword Knight]] flees panicking.

|In this volume, after [[Beryl]] successfully manages to free [[Galacta Knight]] once again, [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]], [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]] and the [[Meta-Knights]] have no choice but to battle [[Galacta Knight|him]]. The [[Meta-Knights]] quickly realize [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] lacks a [[Copy Ability]], and all offer to be [[inhale]]d by [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]]. [[Blade Knight]] tries to make one go at a [[Time Crash|time]], but just as [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] starts [[Inhale|inhaling]]: [[Kirby (novel character)|he] ends up [[Inhale|inhaling]] [[Blade Knight]] and gets the Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]]. While [[Sword Knight]] and the others chase after [[Beryl]], Sword [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] and [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]] battle [[Galacta Knight]]. As soon as they manage to beat [[Galacta Knight|the knight]], a red [[butterfly]] appears, takes over [[Galacta Knight]], making [[Galacta Knight|him]] disappear in a [[light]]. The [[butterfly]] then transforms into [[Morpho Knight]], who promptly after starts attacking [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] and [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]]. The two struggle to keep up, as [[Morpho Knight]] feels even stronger than [[Galacta Knight]]. [[Morpho Knight]] makes his sword grow giant and aims for [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]], who ends up not being able to [[dodge]], gets hit and drops the Sword [[Copy Ability|ability]], freeing [[Blade Knight]]. Almost [[Knock-Knock Nut|knocked]] out, [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] doesn't even try to [[inhale]] [[Blade Knight]] again, and instead tells [[Blade Knight|him]] to [[Dash|run]] away, much to his surprise.

|''"A [[Kirby]] [[Copy Ability|ability]] made when [[Kirby]] [[inhale]]s a sword-wielding foe or a sword itself. Doing so provides [[Kirby]] with a rapid sword slash, a jumping sword spin, or even the energy-beam blast of the [[Final Cutter|Final Sword]]. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that this is the #1 [[Copy Ability]] in terms of accessibility."''

|(American English) ''"That green cap sure does make [[Kirby]] look heroic, doesn't it? Maybe wearing it just inspires [[Kirby]], but while he's wearing it, [[Kirby|he]] gets all kinds of neat moves, like Spin Slash, Multisword Attack, and Sword [[Dive Attack|Dive]]. [[Kirby|He]]'s even able to pull off these moves in the [[Coo|air]], on the [[Rick|ground]], or [[Kine|underwater]]!"'' <br> (British English) ''"[[Kirby]] looks like a pretty [[It's Kirby Time: Take Courage|courageous]] hero in that [[Green Greens (theme)|green]] cap, doesn't he? Indeed, this [[Kirby]] is a [[Kirby Master|master]] of sword-swishing, fending off enemies with the powerful Spin Slash, the rapid Multisword Attack and the stylish Sword [[Dive Attack|Dive]]. If that wasn't impressive enough, he can also use these moves on [[Rick|land]], in [[Coo|mid-air]] AND [[Kine|underwater]]. [[Beautiful Prison|Beautiful]]!"''

*''"There is nothing a sharp sword can't [[Cutter|cut]]."''

*''"[[Kirby]] attacks by slashing at high speeds or by swinging his sword at [[enemy|enemies]] while in the [[Coo|air]] or when he [[Rick|lands]]."''

*''"Sword [[Kirby]]'s a blur as he swings his sword at incredible speeds. He can also [[Cutter|cut]] [[rope]]s and [[Grass (course)|grass]]."''

*[[Master|The Sword]] [[Copy Ability|ability's]] appearances in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'' show [[HAL Room|very rare instances of]] [[Copy Ability|an ability]] [[Copy|acquiring another's moves]] [[Degout|without]] the [[ladder|latter]] having been removed from the game. [[Infiltrate the Junk Factory!|In]] this case, although Sword obtained the [[Final Cutter]] move from the [[Cutter]] [[Copy Ability|ability]], [[Cutter]] still [[Goal Door|exists]] in [[Robobot Armor|both]] of these games, only without [[Narrator|said]] [[Dash|move]].
