{{quote|This psychokinetic ability allows you to turn {{color|orange|invisible}} and produce shocking {{color|orange|electric fields}}, just like a certain {{color|orange|boy with PSI}}. This field of science is still largely unexplored.|Pause flavor text of '''ESP''' in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''}}
'''ESP''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''. When acquiring this ability, Kirby gains a blue baseball cap with red visor and tilted off to the side, which looks similar to the cap of [[wikibound:Ness|Ness]] from [[wikibound:EarthBound|''EarthBound'']]. Kirby also emits constant blue energy from his hands.

ESP Kirby is able to teleport short distances to avoid damage, can control a freely-steering ball of energy around the player's field of view, and counter attacks with a large psychic flash. These psychic attacks can also conduct electricity to solve related puzzles.

==Game appearances==
===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
In ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', ESP is obtained by swallowing the common enemy [[NESP]], or the [[Mid-Boss]] [[Telepathos]]. The following [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'']] series [[amiibo]] figures can also provide this ability when scanned into the game:
*[[smashwiki:Lucas|Lucas]]
*[[smashwiki:Mewtwo|Mewtwo]]
*[[smashwiki:Ness|Ness]]
*[[smashwiki:Shulk|Shulk]]
The [[Robobot Armor]] can also obtain this ability and become the '''ESP Mode'''.

===''Kirby Star Allies''===
{{quote|Disappear with mind powers, just like magic, and revel in the effects when you use ↑ to tap into your powers! Also, use PK Insight to guard yourself, and release a psychokinetic charge with PK Electroshift! It's an ESPecially good time!|Pause flavor text of '''ESP''' in ''Kirby Star Allies''}}
In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', ESP remains the same moveset and [[NESP]] becomes Kirby's [[Helper|Friend Helper]].

This ability now provides [[Zap]] augment and can be used in conjunction with certain [[Friend Ability|Friend Abilities]], its signature one being [[Geokinesis]] (with [[Stone]]).

The ESP ability has a [[glitches|glitch]] in this game that Using Vanish and Reappear may enable Kirby/NESP to skip some Room Guarder rooms (normally all the common enemies in a Room Guarder room must be defeated to proceed). This is useful for NESP to save time in [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]].

==Trivia==
*The pause flavor text of ESP in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' refers to [[wikibound:Ness|Ness]] from [[wikibound:EarthBound|''EarthBound'']]. Scanning his amiibo also gives Kirby the ESP ability.
*The moves PK Evade and Insight are a possible reference to [[smashwiki:Shulk|Shulk]]'s Vision ability.
*ESP is one of the few Copy Abilities with a [[guard]] counter attack (PK Invade and Insight). The others include [[Ninja]] (Hide Guard) and [[Staff]] (Staff Counter).
*Among the three newly introduced Copy Abilities in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' ([[Doctor]], ESP and [[Poison]]), ESP is the only one that appeared in the next main [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] game, ''Kirby Star Allies'', and also the only one to get a Robobot Armor mode.
