“ | Freeze foes with icy breath! Kick ice cubes into others! When you dash you skate! | ” | — Kirby Super Star Ultra |
| ||||||||||||||||||
|
Ice is a Copy Ability which allows Kirby to freeze enemies and is primarily obtained by swallowing certain ice-type enemies, such as a Pengy. It primarily allows Kirby to encase foes in a block of ice with his chilly breath, but may also have other uses, depending on the game, such as enabling him to skate over surfaces in its most recent appearance.
The ability is not to be confused with Freeze, a similar ability whose moves have been incorporated into the Ice ability in many of the latter's appearances (in a similar manner in which Burning and Fire are frequently combined).
Game Appearances
Kirby's Adventure/Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Ice was available, along with Freeze, as a Copy Ability in Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land making it one of the debut abilities. In that game, Ice consisted solely of using freezing breath to turn enemies into ice cubes, then touching them to kick them across the stage to harm anything in their way.
In Kirby's Adventure, Kirby merely changed his colTemplate:Our to a light blue when obtaining this ability, as Copy Hats had not been introduced at this time.
Kirby's Dream Land 2
In Kirby's Dream Land 2, Ice is once again a simple move which does not change Kirby's appearance. (due to the game's monochrome nature) If Kirby is alone, using Ice functions identically to the way it did in Kirby's Adventure, but if partnered up with one of his animal friends, the move can change its pattern depending on which friend is with him. With Rick, the move functions like an ice shield, protecting on all sides. With Coo, Kirby can breathe ice in a 180 degree area beneath him. With Kine, the move is similar in function to Rick's, but it can be used while moving, and it causes him to freeze over if held for too long.
Kirby Super Star/Kirby Super Star Ultra
In Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby can obtain the ice ability from enemies, or through Enemy Symbols or Copy Essence Deluxes. With the Ice ability equipped, Kirby may create Chilly as a helper. Kirby's visual appearance changes by turning him a light blue colTemplate:Our and he wears a hat full of crystals.

Kirby's Dream Land 3
In Kirby's Dream Land 3, Ice is once again a simple move which does not change Kirby's appearance beyond a colTemplate:Our change when he is using it. If Kirby is alone, using Ice functions identically to the way it did in Kirby's Adventure, but if partnered up with one of his animal friends, the move can change its pattern depending on which friend is with him.

Breathe ice in front of Kirby. | Sprinkle ice overhead in defense. | ||
Freeze and fall to the floor, like Stone. | Shoot three ice spikes in a spread shot in front of Coo. | ||
Hover by breathing ice below Kirby. | Spit snowballs in varying arcs ahead of Kirby. | ||
Breathe ice further in front of Pitch. |
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
Ice appears in this game, much the same way it did in Kirby's Dream Land 3, in that Kirby does not actually change appearance or colTemplate:Our unless he is using the ability. Unlike in previous installments however, Kirby spins in place while using the move, making it similar to Freeze. In addition, he can also move slowly while using it, adding to its versatility.
Using the Power Combo system, Kirby can combine Ice with other abilities to varying effect. Combining Ice with Ice creates Ice-Ice, which rolls Kirby up into a big snowball in the same vain as would be seen later in the Snow Bowl Super Ability.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land
The Ice ability also appears in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, and is obtained through swallowing ice related enemies or touching Copy Pedestals. In addition to using the Ice ability to defeat enemies, Kirby may also use Ice to neutraliTemplate:Se fiery blocks in order to break or walk on them. Aesthetically, Kirby's appearance changes only with an addition of a ice crown. In addition, a super form of this ability exists by defeating a Super Chilly, yielding the Snow Bowl ability.
