Each Essence resembles a golden pedestal with a figurine of a certain enemy standing on top (except in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', the essence instead displays the emblem for that copy ability rather than the enemy represented by it). When Kirby touches such a pedestal, he is instantly awarded the [[Copy Ability]] typically yielded by the adversary shown atop the pedestal. If Kirby already possesses an ability, his current power will be replaced in ''Kirby Super Star'' and its remake, as well as ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', whereas in other games, nothing will happen until he drops his Copy Ability.<ref name=K&tAM/> Every Copy Essence can be used an unlimited amount of times. Apart from being found sporadically throughout games, they usually appear in unlockable rooms containing most of the game's abilities, as well as featuring prominently in [[The Arena]] and similar [[Boss Endurance]]es. | Each Essence resembles a golden pedestal with a figurine of a certain enemy standing on top (except in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', the essence instead displays the emblem for that copy ability rather than the enemy represented by it).

In the [[Milky Way Wishes]] game of ''Kirby Super Star'' and its remake, a special variety of Copy Essence known as [[Copy Essence Deluxe]] appears; this item permanently enables Kirby to assume the Copy Ability shown by it at any time and disappears upon being collected. | In the [[Milky Way Wishes]] game of ''Kirby Super Star'' and its remake, a special variety of Copy Essence known as [[Copy Essence Deluxe]] appears; this item permanently enables Kirby to assume the Copy Ability shown by it at any time and disappears upon being collected. | ||
Starting with ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', Copy Essences do not resemble the enemies they are obtained from anymore. Instead, they contain a likeness of the [[Ability Star]] for the ability in question, displaying the ability's symbol on its face. Kirby can gain access to 20 of these from within the [[Lor Starcutter]] once he has collected enough [[Energy Sphere]]s to unlock every room. | |||
In ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', completing every stage will allow Kirby to access a special room from the stage select map that contains pedestals for every Copy Ability in each title. The only exception is [[U.F.O.]] in ''Planet Robobot'', which requires Kirby to collect all 100 [[Code Cube]]s, thus causing a [[UFO]] enemy to appear in the room in question. | |||

*Occasionally, [[Sleep]] Essences are seen as obstacles in various stages, with the point being that Kirby should try to avoid them, lest he be put to sleep. | |||
