ESP Kirby is able to teleport short distances to avoid damage, can control a freely-steering ball of energy around the player's field of view, and counter attacks with a large psychic flash. These psychic attacks can also conduct electricity to solve related puzzles.

==Game appearances==
===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
In ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', ESP is obtained by swallowing the common enemy [[NESP]], or the [[Mid-Boss]] [[Telepathos]]. The following [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'']] series [[amiibo]] figures can also provide this ability when scanned into the game:
*[[smashwiki:Lucas|Lucas]]
*[[smashwiki:Mewtwo|Mewtwo]]
*[[smashwiki:Ness|Ness]]
*[[smashwiki:Shulk|Shulk]]
The [[Robobot Armor]] can also obtain this ability and become the '''ESP Mode'''.

In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', ESP remains the same moveset and [[NESP]] becomes Kirby's [[Helper|Friend Helper]].
This ability now provides [[Zap]] augment and can be used in conjunction with certain [[Friend Ability|Friend Abilities]], its signature one being [[Geokinesis]] (with [[Stone]]).
The ESP ability has a [[glitches|glitch]] in this game where using Vanish and Reappear may enable Kirby/NESP to skip some Room Guarder rooms (normally all the common enemies in a Room Guarder room must be defeated to proceed). This is useful for NESP to save time in [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The pause flavor text of ESP in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' refers to [[wikibound:Ness|Ness]] from [[wikibound:EarthBound|''EarthBound'']]. Scanning his amiibo also gives Kirby the ESP ability.

*ESP is one of the few Copy Abilities with a [[guard]] counter attack (PK Evade and Insight). The others include [[Ninja]] (Hide Guard) and [[Staff]] (Staff Counter).
*One of the early UI designs for ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'' has the ESP ability appear along other Copy Abilities from this game, implying it was considered to be playable at one point.<ref>[https://twitter.com/HAL_Laboratory/status/1316213278213767168 HAL Laboratory official account on Twitter] ([https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EkQg_9SU0AExOkW?format=jpg&name=large direct image link])</ref>
*Among the three newly introduced Copy Abilities in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' ([[Doctor]], ESP and [[Poison]]), ESP is the only one that appeared in the next main [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] game, ''Kirby Star Allies'', and also the only one to get a Robobot Armor mode.
