— Figure description from Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Buzz-Saw Cutter is an Evolved Copy Ability based on Cutter that appears in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Kirby now wields a buzz-saw attached to a mechanical power saw hat, which shoots the saw forward to drag enemies along and pass through them. Unlike the previous evolutions, these buzz-saw projectiles have the ability to ricochet off walls, bouncing off of them in a mirror-like projection.

The blueprint for Buzz-Saw Cutter can be found in Searching the Oasis, in a hidden Treasure Chest off the main path behind a fence. Buzz-Saw Cutter is required to play the Treasure Road stage Off the Wall! Ricochet Switches.

Move Button execution Description
フルメタルブーメラン
Full-Metal Boomerang
B Kirby ejects a buzz-saw blade forwards. It can ricochet off walls multiple times, both when traveling outwards and when returning to Kirby, a technique called かべはんしゃ (Wall Reflection). If Kirby does not catch it, it will travel an indefinite horizontal distance, and can bounce off walls.
The Japanese name of Buzz-Saw Cutter is "Full-Metal Cutter".
ホールドチャージ
Hold Charge
Hold B By holding B, Kirby freezes the tossed Full-Metal Boomerang in midair and charges it, and Kirby can move freely while charging. There are 3 levels of charge:
  • Lv 1: The buzz-saw blade turns yellow, and has the same power as the uncharged Cutter Boomerang when released.
  • Lv 2: The buzz-saw blade turns red and bigger, and has increased power when released.
  • Lv 3: The buzz-saw blade turns flashing colors and even bigger, and has further increased power when released.
Return Attack Release B after Hold Charge After releasing B (or over a certain time period at Lv 3) during Hold Charge, the buzz-saw blade accelerates backwards and returns to Kirby, and its power is increased as it travels further. It can bounce off walls on the return trajectory.
Name given by Weapons-Shop Waddle Dee.

The Buzz-Saw Cutter's blade will bounce off walls. If you aim the bounces well, it can travel really far!
