“ | Is this for real? You bet it is! Jump through a flaming hoop, and show off your finest Acrobatics! After the curtains close on your foes, they'll know the clown arts are no joke. | ” | — Triple Deluxe quote |
Circus is an ability that gives Kirby and odd hat, that is made to look like a traditional "big-top" circus with a clown-like face on it. It can only be obtained from the Clown Acrobot. The ability gives Kirby several different weapons based around circus acts. These include throwing juggling pins, balancing on a ball, jumping on a trampoline, doing somersaults, jumping through a flaming hoops (this attack can destroy ice blocks), and creating balloon animals. These balloon animals form many things such as flowers, Meta Knight, and even Nightmare's Power Orb. It was introduced in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, along with Beetle, Bell, Archer, and Hypernova, and, along with Archer, returned in Kirby: Planet Robobot. This copy power can also be obtained by scanning in a Mr. Game and Watch amiibo in Kirby Planet Robobot.

Trivia
- Circus is one of the few abilities that can break ice blocks. The others include Fire, Fighter, Hammer, Smash and Doctor.
- Similar to the Stone ability, many hidden images are in the Balloon Pop Art attack. These include Meta Knight, the Nightmare's Power Orb, Magolor, and the HAL Laboratory Logo.
- The Meta Knight image is actually one of Meta Knight's only appearances in Kirby: Triple Deluxe (along with a Stone Kirby transformation, and in the crowd during the "Kirby Master!" video).
- The Meta Knight image is replaced by Dark Meta Knight in Kirby: Planet Robobot.
