- This article is about the Copy Ability called "Copy" in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra. For Copy Abilities in general, see Copy Ability.
Copy is a single-use Copy Ability obtained by swallowing Tac. It allows Kirby to scan an enemy in order to obtain their powers, which can work even on enemies that cannot be inhaled normally. Common enemies scanned are immediately defeated, but the move also works on Mid-Bosses, dealing them moderate damage instead. This move does not work on invulnerable enemies such as Gordo or Shotzo.
Kirby can also obtain the copy ability through Copy Essences Deluxe. With the copy ability equipped, Kirby can create Tac as a helper. Kirby's visual appearance does not change but rather than inhaling foes, Kirby puts on goggles to scan their powers.
Uses
Since Kirby can normally simply inhale foes to copy them, the copy ability is usually redundant. It has two advantages, however, over inhaling:
- Some enemies, such as Scarfy, cannot be inhaled but can be copied.
- In Milky Way Wishes, Kirby cannot copy enemies by inhaling them, but he can with the copy ability. This eliminates the main hardship in Milky Way Wishes, which is why its Copy Essence Deluxe is located in a hidden place.
