Cupid is a Copy Ability that first appeared in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. It also appears in [[Kirby: Squeak Squad|Template:KSS KMA]]. Kirby receives this ability by sucking up and swallowing a Cupie. While Kirby has the Cupid ability, he possesses a halo and a set of wings, along with a bow and arrows.

Trivia
- Another bow & arrow-based Copy Ability, Archer, was introduced in Kirby: Triple Deluxe.
- In some spin-offs like Kirby Mass Attack, Kirby Fighters Deluxe, and Kirby Fighters 2, when a Kirby is defeated and fainted, an angel-like spirit will be released out of his body which resembles Cupid Kirby but is ghostly white and without the bow and arrow.
- In the Japanese games, the pause description describes that the Cupid ability (Angel in the Japanese version) is like a demon, which is possibly a homage to Kirby's alias "The Pink Demon".[1]
- Cupid Kirby appears on the cover art and commercials of Kirby & The Amazing Mirror.
