“ | What's on today's menu? Put all your foes in the pot and stew them to perfection! | ” | — Super Star Ultra quote |
Cook (misnamed Chef in the Kirby: Triple Deluxe keychain) is an ability gained by absorbing two enemies at once or by swallowing Chef Kawasaki or Cookin. It allows Kirby to put all enemies and stars on screen into a pot and produce food.[1]
Game Apperances
Kirby Super Star (Ultra) and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
Kirby's physical appearance in Kirby Super Star Ultra changes only with the addition of a chef's hat. When activating the ability an animated scene begins with Kirby donning a chef hat and conjuring a large gold colored pot. The pot pulls all on screen enemies and stars in then Kirby seasons and stirs the now burning pot. Kirby will raise his arms indicating completion and as many snacks as things in the pot will burst out.
The Cook Copy Ability is one of the few powers that has a limited use[2] and affects all enemies on screen. After using the cook ability once, Kirby returns to his regular state. Kirby cannot produce a helper using this Copy Ability.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Cook is the Final Smash of Kirby in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where nearby enemies get sucked up into a pot and are cooked. After he is done, the enemies sucked in and some health restoring food are released.
Kirby's Final Smash has been replaced by Ultra Sword since Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, however.
Kirby Star Allies
“ | A long lost technique is rediscovered! Combine different ingredients to whip up all kinds of dishes. Chuck in a friend or two, let it simmer, serve, and voilà! For a little extra spice, hold the button longer to bring it to a boil and boom! Massive damage. | ” | — Cook flavor text in Kirby Star Allies |
In Kirby Star Allies, Cook ability returns in the Kirby main series. It is still a single use ability for Kirby, but now he can charge his cook attack into a powerful fullscreen damaging attack called Souper Supper. Kirby hums to himself while cooking with this ability. He hums one of two different short tunes based on his charge level.

Skill | Button Execution | Description | Damage |
Cook Pot | Kirby summons his cook pot to put every common enemy and defeated body of the mid-boss on the screen into it. This has no effect on bosses. Kirby is invincible during the whole cooking process. When the cooking is finished, everything put into his pot will pop out as food instead, and Kirby's Cook ability disappears. If there is nothing to put into the pot, Kirby won't use up his Cook ability. |
N/A | |
Souper Supper | In addition to cooking, Kirby launches a huge stream of hot soup from his pot. This is a fullscreen attack which can deal massive damage to even bosses. Same with Cook Pot, Kirby's Cook ability disappears when Souper Supper is used.

Damage is based on distance (close/far) and the number of Friends put into the pot:
Damage is not affected by the multiplayer multiplier. | |
Reference: A Star Bullet deals 520 damage. |

Chef Kawasaki also returns as a Mid-Boss and a Friend Helper in Star Alllies, making his first Helper apperance. He can now use the Cook ability an unlimited number of times as a Friend (but with a cooldown timer), and can also use his ladle and plateware as quick attacks.
Friend Ability

Both Cook Kirby and Chef Kawasaki can use Cook's signature Friend Ability - Cook Potluck to launch friends out of the pot as projectiles.
