'''Copy Ability''' is a catch-all term referring to [[Kirby]]'s trademark ability to inherit and utilize the special powers and/or skills of the entities he swallows using his [[inhale]]. First introduced in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', this ability grants the pink puffball a potentially massive array of different methods of attack and means of traversing the lands he finds himself in. Starting with games like ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', acquiring a Copy Ability also bestows a unique hat, outfit, or other distinguishing feature upon Kirby, which serves as a quick-glance way to determine what kind of power Kirby has obtained.

When Kirby obtains a Copy Ability, he (usually) loses his ability to inhale, instead now relying on the ability's unique attacks to battle his foes. Acquiring an ability often causes Kirby to pose ecstatically or demonstrate the new ability and causes a distinctive chipper sound to play. Kirby's [[Heads-up display|HUD]] name and icon are also typically replaced with those signifying the ability in question. When Kirby has an ability, he is often referred specifically with that ability as part of his name (e.g. "Fire Kirby", "Sword Kirby", "Plasma Kirby", etc.). However, these abilities are seldom permanent, as Kirby can easily lose them, either by discarding them willingly, occasionally taking [[damage]], or simply [[:Category:Limited use abilities|using them too many times]] in some instances. When an ability is lost in the former two methods, it will bounce away as an [[Ability Star]], which can be re-absorbed with another [[inhale]].

In main-series [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' games]], Copy Abilities tend to play a central role in gameplay, as many enemies are designed with weaknesses to specific abilities, and many stage [[device]]s require certain abilities or combinations thereof to deal with. Several of these games also offer more elaborate mechanics involving these abilities, whether that be by using them to call [[helper]]s, combining them with other entities or with each other to create powerful combo attacks, or imposing game rules restricting the use of certain ability functions. Copy Abilities also tend to play a role in the spin-off games, where it is often the case that Kirby has permanent access to one as a form of character selection, or the ability is heavily modified to cater to the specific type of gameplay.

===Standard Copy Abilities===
===Standard Copy Abilities===
Standard Copy Abilities are those which Kirby can get simply by inhaling and swallowing the appropriate enemy (with two exceptions). So far, there are 68 Copy Abilities in the ''Kirby'' series of video games, with 28 being the most abilities that have appeared in a single game (''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''):

===Special Abilities===
===Fusion Copy Abilities===
In addition to standard abilities, most titles feature special kinds of abilities that differ from regular copy abilities in various ways. While some are much more closely related to copy abilities than others, all of the following are officially grouped into a big category called "Special Ability" in the official [[Kirby Portal]] website.<ref>[https://www.kirby.jp/ability/ Kirby Portal page on Copy Abilities]</ref> Some Special Abilities based on vehicles fall under a sub-category called メカ (''Mecha''), while all others fall under a sub-category simply called 能力 (''Ability''). The following is a complete list of every Special Ability:

===Other===
===[[Super Ability|Super Abilities]]===
The following are miscellaneous abilities or game mechanics which are not officially categorized in the other categories, but are either closely related to Copy Abilities and/or similar to other Special Abilities:
With [[Ultra Sword|one exception]], these abilities appear only in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''.

Not every appearance of Normal allows Kirby to do both of these actions: for example, in ''Kirby's Dream Land'', Normal Kirby cannot Copy Abilities, and in ''Kirby: Canvas Curse'', Normal Kirby cannot inhale enemies.

|Normal is sometimes classified as a regular Copy Ability (in particular, [https://www.kirby.jp/ability/copy/normal.html it is one in the Kirby Portal website]), but most of the time it's not treated as one. For instance, ''Kirby's Adventure'' is treated as the game that debuted copy abilities, even though Normal is said to have appeared in ''Kirby's Dream Land''; moreover, it's never counted in ability counts of games (for example, [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/ah26a/pc/copy/index.html the Japanese website of ''Kirby Star Allies'' says the game has 28 Copy Abilities], which does not include Normal).

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
{{main|Copy Ability/Super Smash Bros.}}
In the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, Kirby is able to copy the neutral special move of any other character and use it against them (with only some moves differing in function based on circumstance). There are a total of 91 unique abilities that Kirby can utilize in the series when he copies an opponent, though only a maximum of 89 can be used in a single game (''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' being that game). Like in the ''Kirby'' series, Kirby gains a costume based on the character inhaled. Kirby can discard abilities willingly by [[smashwiki:Taunt|taunting]], but it might be forced out of him if he takes a certain amount of damage.
==Trivia==
*As of ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', the abilities with the most appearances are [[Parasol]] and [[Cutter]], with 18 each.
**However, if [[Sword Hero]] is counted as a [[Sword]] appearance, then it has the most, at 19.
*Of all the abilities that have shown up more than once in the series, the ability that has waited the longest in between playable appearances is [[Cleaning]], which had a 21 year gap between its appearances in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.
