'''Cutter''' is a [[Copy Ability]] primarily obtained by absorbing a boomerang-throwing enemy. This power allows [[Kirby]] to perform one of several boomerang-like attacks, the actual variations of which vary between games. It was introduced with a yellow color in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', while in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' it was changed to blue, then yellow again in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' and all subsequent games (including ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and onward).
'''Cutter''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that grants [[Kirby]] the ability to throw blade boomerangs as projectiles, or strike enemies up close with them. Typically, this ability gives Kirby a yellow cap with the blade embedded in the top, though other appearances of the ability may leave Kirby largely unchanged until he uses it, with the most noteworthy outlier example being in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' (where Kirby throws a piece of himself as the boomerang). Using this ability, Kirby can slice [[rope]]s and foliage from a distance by steering his projectiles, or get up close and defeat foes with the devastating [[Final Cutter]] attack.
 
Cutter first appeared in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', making it among the oldest Copy Abilities in the entire series. Since then, it has appeared as an ability in 18 subsequent games, tying [[Parasol]] as the most ubiquitous ability in the whole series. Its primary provider is the yellow suit of armor known as [[Sir Kibble]], but many other creatures provide this ability, including [[Poppy Bros. Jr.]] with boomerangs, [[Kapar]], the [[Mid-Boss]] [[Kibble Blade]], and the projectiles thrown out by [[:Category:Soul bosses|Soul-form bosses]] that use [[Shooter Cutter]] as an attack.

Cutter is among the oldest and most ubiquitous Copy Abilities in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], first appearing in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and reappearing in every subsequent main-series title, along with several spin-offs. In its most basic form, it gives Kirby the ability to throw bladed boomerang projectiles that travel a short distance in front of him before flying back. While the range forward is rather limited, if Kirby gets out of the way of his boomerang as it returns, it will fly past him and keep traveling until it leaves the screen or hits something. As such, it is often useful for Kirby to use this ability while facing away from his target in order to keep a safer distance.

As such, it is often useful for Kirby to use this ability while facing away from his target in order to keep a safer distance.


Various subsequent ''Kirby'' games give the Cutter ability more utility. There are several stage devices such as [[Rope]]s and tall grass which can be sliced using Cutter, giving the ability utility outside of simply battling foes. Most games also allow Kirby to steer his boomerang after throwing it, allowing him to reach otherwise difficult spots with his attacks. Games that follow ''Kirby Super Star'''s example add a large number of melee attacks to Cutter, allowing Kirby to fight up close with rapid swings of his cutter blade, finishing with the iconic [[Final Cutter]] technique. Main-series titles starting with ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' allow Kirby to throw more powerful Cutter blades that pass through their targets (usually after charging up the attack). Lastly, Cutter is readily fused with other elements, producing powerful combinations such as those seen in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

The Cutter Ability's most recognizable provider is the yellow suit of armor called [[Sir Kibble]], who appears in nearly every game that Cutter is featured in. Besides him, there are many more enemies that provide the ability, and it can also be absorbed from the attacks of certain bosses, with the most notable example being [[Shooter Cutter]]'s projectiles.

Cutter Kirby first appearance is ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', which marks the debut of Copy Abilities. The player can make Kirby throw up to 3 cutters that return like boomerangs by pressing the B button. If Kirby jumps out of the way of his returning cutter, it will fly past him and off the screen, making this ability useful as a long-range attack from behind. Kirby uses the default sprite for this ability.

Cutter's first appearance is in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', making it among the oldest abilities in the series. With this ability, Kirby can throw up to 3 cutter blades at a time, which return like boomerangs. If Kirby jumps out of the way of his returning cutter, it will fly past him and off the screen, making this ability useful as a long-range attack from behind. Kirby takes on an orange body color for this ability, similar to many others.
 
Cutter also returns in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', where Kirby has his hat from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''.

Cutter returns in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', with an expanded moveset that for the first time introduces the [[Final Cutter]] technique, along with other close-range attacks. In addition to enemies like Sir Kibble, Kirby can also obtain the Cutter ability through [[Copy Essences]] and [[Copy Essence Deluxe|Copy Essences Deluxe]]. ''Kirby Super Star'' introduced the now-familiar yellow cap with a blade on top for Kirby whenever he has this ability. Kirby can also use up his ability to conjure Sir Kibble as a [[helper]].

Cutter returns as a Copy Ability in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. Here, the ability follows the same simple design philosophy as other abilities in the game, giving Kirby only one attack. However, unlike in preceding games, the ability functions a little differently here. Instead of throwing distinct blade boomerangs at his foes, Kirby throws a portion of his body as the blade, splitting himself into two distinct objects. The blade has his face on it and flies at moderate speed forward, then comes back to the rest of his body, which has for the moment been reduced to a thin stub with feet only able to walk around and jump once. Once the two pieces make contact again, Kirby returns to his normal self, which effectively means that Kirby can only throw out one blade at a time, and has limited movement options while the blade is out. Unlike cutter blades in other games, this one will home back in towards the rest of Kirby once it is done flying forward, meaning that Kirby's stub body can guide the blade on its return trip to adjust its trajectory. If the body takes [[damage]] while the blade is out, Kirby will immediately snap back to normal as the blade disappears.

In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', Kirby can also obtain the cutter ability through [[Copy Essence Deluxe]]s. With the cutter ability equipped, Kirby can create [[Sir Kibble]] as a [[helper]]. Kirby's visual appearance only changes by the addition of a yellow helmet.


{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="1" cellpadding="2"
Like with the other abilities in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'', Cutter can be combined with itself or with another ability to create Power Combos. [[Cutter-Cutter|Doubling up on Cutter]] allows Kirby to throw a larger spike-covered blade, though with the same limitations as before. Combinations with other abilities produce a wide array of powers, including creating a [[Burn-Cutter|large flaming sword]], throwing [[Bomb-Cutter|explosive ninja stars]], and even [[Stone-Cutter|shaping himself into stone sculptures of his Animal Friends]].

[[File:K64 A DoubleCutter.png|250px|thumb|The [[Cutter-Cutter|upgraded Cutter]] copy ability, seen in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''.]]
[[File:KSqS Cushy Cloud - Stage 3.png|thumb|200px|Cutter Kirby cutting a rope holding up a [[Sparky]] in ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'']]
The Cutter copy ability undergoes a redesign in the third dimension, in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', though the method used to obtain it is identical to previous versions. Instead of throwing some sort of sharp projectile, Kirby uses his own flesh to produce a boomerang-like weapon that can be used in the same fashion. New to ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' is the process of [[Power Combo|copy ability upgrading and intermixing]] - the Cutter ability can be upgraded simply by swallowing two boomerang-like or boomerang-throwing enemies; the new power will be a large, curvaceous projectile that is created from a great percentage of Kirby's small body, not to mention the spikes the boomerang boasts on its outer edge.  
Cutter returns in both ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', acting much as it did in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'' and once again provided by Sir Kibble, [[Moley]]'s spiked balls (and to some extent in ''Amazing Mirror's'' case, [[Shadow Kirby]]). Unlike in older games, the cutter blade can be thrown farther by holding B, and the angle of the cutter blade can be curved vertically with the + Control Pad. Notably, the [[Final Cutter]] technique appears in ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'', but it is not performable using Cutter, instead being attached to [[Smash Bros.|Smash]], [[Sword]], and [[Master]].


Like all copy abilities in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'', the Cutter ability can be mixed with other abilities to produce different effects. For example, mixing the Fire and Cutter copy abilities will yield a flaming sword, a power that takes both attributes into account, while intertwining the Bomb and Cutter abilities will yield a explosive throwing-star projectile.
In ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', an [[Ability Scroll]] can be obtained for Cutter which increases the size of the cutter blade and allows it to pass through multiple targets, turning the regular Cutter Boomerang attack into the "Piercing Cutter" ('''貫通カッター'''<ref>''Kirby: Squeak Squad Nintendo Official Guidebook''</ref>).

Cutter returns in these games, acting much as it did in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'' and once again provided by Sir Kibble. Unlike its predecessor, the cutter blade can be thrown farther by holding B, and the angle of the cutter blade can be curved vertically with the + Control Pad. Notably, the [[Final Cutter]] technique appears in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', but it is not performable using Cutter, instead being attached to [[Smash Bros.|Smash]], [[Sword]], and [[Master]].
[[File:KRtDL Cookie Country Stage 2 screenshot.png|thumb|250px|Cutter Kirby using the Cutter Dash technique to slice a rope in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'']]
The Cutter Copy Ability also appears in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''. Kirby's Cutter ability is fairly similar in appearance and functionality to how it was in ''Kirby Super Star'', though with the added ability to steer and charge the Cutter blades, much like in ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' and ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' respectively. The Cutter ability is used often to cut ropes, with one [[Energy Sphere]] in particular requiring use of the Cutter Boomerang to access.


In ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', an [[Ability Scroll]] can be obtained which increases the size of the cutter blade and allows it to pass through multiple targets.
Cutter is once again provided mainly by Sir Kibble, though other sources include the new enemy [[Jackle]] and the new Mid-Boss [[Kibble Blade]].


===''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''===
The Cutter copy ability is also existent in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. Kirby's Cutter Ability is fairly similar in appearance and functionality to the Cutter Kirby in ''Kirby Super Star''. The Cutter ability is used often to cut ropes, notably, one [[Energy Sphere]] in the game requires use of Cutter Boomerang to access, and cannot be accessed with any other ability.

Cutter returns in this game, largely unchanged from its appearance in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. Like in most titles, it is most easily obtained by swallowing Sir Kibble. However, it can also be obtained by swallowing [[Flowery Woods]]'s spinning flowers. It also features as one of the abilities in [[Kirby Fighters]].

In the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], the Cutter ability appears in ''[[Kirby and the Dangerous Gourmet Mansion?!]]'', where [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] obtains it from [[Sir Kibble]], makes minor appearances in ''[[Kirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!]]'', ''[[Kirby Fighters: The Destined Rivals!!]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Lor Starcutter and a Magician of Falsehood]]'', and one of its [[Evolved Copy Ability|Evolved Copy Abilities]] appear in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Break Out of the Dreams of the Isolated Isles!]]''. With this [[Copy Ability]], Kirby can use moves such as Cutter Boomerang, Hyper Boomerang and Cleaving Cutter.


In ''Kirby and the Dangerous Gourmet Mansion?!'', when Kirby, [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]], and [[Meta Knight (novel character)|Meta Knight]] are on their quest to save the kidnapped [[Mrs. Parfaitski]], they come across a small ravine. The three notice a bridge, and attempt to cross it. Before they can, a sharp blade suddenly flies out, and cuts the rope holding the suspension bridge, causing it to fall into the ravine. Sir Kibble reveals himself, and attempts to attack the group with more of his boomerang-like blades. Kirby drops the [[Wheel]] ability he previously had, which releases [[Wheelie]]. Kirby then [[inhale]]s Sir Kibble to get the Cutter ability. Kirby throws the blade on his head at the tallest, thickest tree he could find to cut it down. The tree falls down and reaches the other side of the ravine, allowing the group to use it as a bridge. Wheelie is forced to lead the way. When the group reaches a cave, Wheelie requests that Kirby releases Sir Kibble so they can explain why they had kidnapped Mrs. Parfaitski. Kirby complies, and drops his Cutter ability to release a dazed and angered Sir Kibble.

In ''Kirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!'', the Cutter ability makes a minor appearance as one of the many copy abilities held by the Kirby clones created by the [[Kirby Printer]]. It also makes a minor appearance in ''Kirby Fighters: The Destined Rivals!!'', where it's one of the abilities used by [[Shadow Kirby]] on his final battle with Kirby. After his defeat, a piece of his cutter blade is used by [[Waddle Dee (novel character)|Bandana Waddle Dee]] to make a spear out of the staff he had gotten from a Kirby clone during a previous battle. The ability also makes a minor appearance in ''Kirby: Lor Starcutter and a Magician of Falsehood'', where Kirby uses it to battle against [[Landia]].
In ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Break Out of the Dreams of the Isolated Isles!'', while the base Cutter ability does not make a proper appearance, its Evolved Copy Ability [[Buzz-Saw Cutter]] appears at the end of the novel. It is given to Kirby by [[Weapons-Shop Waddle Dee]] shortly before the battle with [[Chaos Elfilis]], and Kirby uses said ability to battle it.
