In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', [[Chef Kawasaki]] the [[smashwiki:Assist Trophy|Assist Trophy]] attacks in a similar fashion to this Final Smash.

SmashWiki has more information about this subject here.

A Final Smash is considered to be the ultimate finishing attack in the Super Smash Bros. series, first appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Each fighter has their own Final Smash, which can be unleashed by acquiring the Smash Ball and then using a Neutral special move. Said attack will be replaced with the Final Smash. After using it, the fighter cannot use it again unless another Smash Ball is obtained. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate only, the Final Smash can also be unleashed if the Final Smash Meter is enabled and filled up, but this charged version is weaker than the Smash Ball version.

Each fighter from the Kirby series has a unique Final Smash, though the specific move utilized can vary between games. Unlike Kirby and Meta Knight, King Dedede has had a different Final Smash in each Super Smash Bros. game he has appeared in.

Final Smashes by Kirby characters[edit]

Kirby[edit]

Kirby's Final Smashes  
Final Smash Game(s) Description Notes
Super Smash Bros. Brawl This is based on the Cook Copy Ability. When activated, Kirby dons his chef hat, pulls out a big gold cooking pot and some implements, and bangs them together, sucking in all nearby opponents and items. Opponents caught are trapped, simmered and stewed for a moment, taking gradual damage, until Kirby is finished cooking, upon which they are launched upward. Items that were taken in become food that Kirby can use to lower his damage percentage while his opponents are launched. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Chef Kawasaki Assist Trophy attacks in a similar fashion to this Final Smash.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 		Kirby uses the Ultra Sword Super Ability from Kirby's Return to Dream Land. When activated, he pulls out the sword and makes an initial swipe. Any opponent he hits is then trapped, allowing him to follow up with several more swipes, finishing off with one big slash that sends them flying. While this move does not produce items like Cook Kirby, it is significantly more powerful in terms of damage and knockback. Some elements from this Final Smash, particularly Kirby's battle cry when unleashing the final hit, were later incorporated into the final Ultra Sword clash against Magolor in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe.
