An '''Ability Item''' is a special representative object which can be [[inhale]]d for a [[Copy Ability]], which appears in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', and ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. In those first two games, [[Kirby]] can create these items by discarding his currently-equipped ability while a [[helper]] is on screen, or if he uses the [[Normal Beam]] on his helper. In ''Kirby Star Allies'', these items are mainly created by defeating the appropriate enemy with the [[Friend Star]] or by defeating a [[Mid-Boss]]. In ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'', these items take the place of [[Ability Star]]s. | |||

==How to create== | ==How to create== | ||
=== ''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' === | |||
To create an ability item in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' or ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', the player can press the '''A''' button ('''X''' in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''), which is the same button used to call a [[helper]]. Once done, Kirby discards his ability, and tosses the created item a short distance ahead of himself. The item created will resemble the ability in question, whether it be the weapon associated with it, the discarded hat, or some other item. | |||
In addition, ability items can be made by using the [[Normal Beam]] on a helper, which transforms the helper into the corresponding item. As before, the player can do this by pressing the '''A''' button ('''X''' in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''), but only when Kirby does not have an ability equipped. | |||
=== ''Kirby Star Allies'' === | |||
In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', in addition to creating them by "unfriending" appropriate allies, regular ability-providing enemies will leave behind an ability item if they are defeated using shots from the [[Friend Star]]. Also, if a [[Mid-Boss]] is defeated and subsequently bursts out of existence, an ability item will be left behind. Lastly, if Kirby tries to [[Make Friend]]s with a [[Bomber]], [[Walky]], or [[Don Puffle]], they will be immediately turned into ability items rather than being recruited as allies. | |||
=== ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' === | |||
In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', Kirby automatically creates an ability item when he discards his Copy Ability or is otherwise made to drop it. Mid-bosses will also drop their corresponding items upon defeat. It effectively completely replaces Ability Stars from previous games. | |||

An | An ability item acts like most other items in the game, in that it does not move and will fall if the floor underneath is destroyed. Unlike most items, however, it will not automatically activate when Kirby touches it. Instead, it must be [[inhale]]d and swallowed to activate. The ability item can also be spat out as a [[Star Bullet]], but it cannot be recovered afterward if used in this way. Additionally, if an ability item is left behind or left alone long enough, it will disappear, unlike other items. | ||

Transforming a helper with no health left into an item and then re-summoning it can be a useful method of saving the helper before it bursts out of existence. | ||

Instead of taking on the form of a representative object, the item resembles the corresponding hat which Kirby wears. Unlike in ''Kirby Super Star'' and its remake, ability items in this game float in the air for a moment after they are created, and then slowly drop back down. They disappear after a few moments. If Kirby touches or inhales an ability item, he will obtain that ability. If he tosses a [[Friend Heart]] at it, the item will be made into an ally (assuming a corresponding ally exists for that ability item). If a non-[[Dream Friend]] ally touches an ability item that can be made into an ally, they will be turned into the ally corresponding to the item touched if the original ally and item differ in ability (otherwise, nothing happens). This cannot happen to the P1 character in [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]], even if they are a non-Dream Friend. | ||
