Kirby's inhale would be further expanded upon in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and subsequent titles, when the [[Copy Ability]] mechanic was introduced; allowing Kirby to gain special powers by swallowing the appropriate things, such as gaining [[Fire]] powers by swallowing a fiery foe like [[Hot Head]]. Using these abilities, Kirby is able to greatly expand his combat and/or movement capabilities, whether that be fending off strong opponents using the [[Sword]] ability, racing rapidly along the ground using [[Wheel]], or taking to the skies using [[Wing]] or [[Jet]]. Many subsequent games allow further mixing of Kirby's abilities, whether that be directly via [[Power Combo]]s or when partnered with friends or other objects. Some games even allow Kirby to [[Evolved Copy Ability|evolve]] his abilities over time to make them stronger. In addition, Kirby is in possession of other [[List of mysteries|more mysterious powers]] which even he is not fully aware of, and which often [[Last Battle Ability|come into play]] when he battles the most dangerous threats to his world. | Kirby's inhale would be further expanded upon in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and subsequent titles, when the [[Copy Ability]] mechanic was introduced; allowing Kirby to gain special powers by swallowing the appropriate things, such as gaining [[Fire]] powers by swallowing a fiery foe like [[Hot Head]].

In terms of his character, Kirby can be described as a naïve, cheery, and childlike alien creature who made [[Kirby's House|his home]] in [[Dream Land]] after arriving from outer space, with his true origin being unknown. Kirby generally has a carefree attitude and enjoys simple pleasures such as eating, playing with his friends, and sleeping. More particular hobbies of his include fishing, singing (despite [[Mike|how bad he is at it]]), and riding his [[Warp Star]]. Kirby is typically called to adventure when some calamity befalls his home-world of [[Popstar]], or if someone else calls for his aid. Often times, these adventures take him to far-flung locations on his home-world, to distant alien planets, or even to [[Another Dimension|alternate dimensions]]. Despite whatever challenges or setbacks Kirby may face while adventuring, he never fails to maintain an overall positive attitude, and this attitude often is instrumental in turning former foes into friends. | In terms of his character, Kirby can be described as a naïve, cheery, and childlike alien creature who made [[Kirby's House|his home]] in [[Dream Land]] after arriving from outer space, with his true origin being unknown.

In the main video game series, Kirby is typically portrayed as the only one of his kind. However, there are many instances, particularly in spin-off titles, where Kirby is joined by clones of himself, which often come in their own [[Colors|body colors]]. Additionally, spin-off games tend to use Kirby's shape more literally, placing him in situations where he acts like a ball such as [[Kirby's Pinball Land|pinball]], [[Kirby's Dream Course|miniature golf]], [[Kirby's Block Ball|breakout]], or more generalized racing/platforming situations. Additionally, extra material such as the [[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|anime]], [[Kirby (novel series)|novel series]], or manga series often have their own takes on Kirby, his character, and his abilities, and are generally not considered to be canon with the main video game series. | In the main video game series, Kirby is typically portrayed as the only one of his kind.
