This article is about the Copy Ability Fire, and should not be confused with the Burning ability, a similar fire ability that was once called Fireball.

This article is about the Copy Ability. For the course in Top Ride, see Fire (course).

Fire is a Copy Ability obtained by absorbing a fire type enemy or object, and it allows Kirby to exhale a powerful breath of fire. In older games, Kirby uses this ability while standing still, as opposed to the similar Burning ability, which is more based on moving quickly. Later on, however, the Burning ability would be subsumed into Fire when it was given a more expansive move-set, starting with [[Kirby Super Star|Template:KSS KFP]]. Fire is one of Kirby's oldest Copy Abilities, making its debut in Kirby's Adventure. When possessing the Fire ability, Kirby sports a golden tiara with a green jewel embedded in it. Bright orange flames emerge from the headgear, and in many older titles, Kirby's colTemplate:Or slightly changes, making him more red than pink.

Characteristics

The Fire ability can be used to break away icy barricades, in addition to roasting Kirby's foes.

Fire is among the most elemental and ubiquitous abilities in Kirby's arsenal, and arguably more than any other is emblematic of his Copy Ability and how it gives Kirby expanded powers. In its simplest form, it allows Kirby to breathe fire from his mouth to deter opponents, thaw out ice, and light the fuses of cannons. While using this fire breath, Kirby is forced to hold still, and naturally it cannot be used underwater (a restriction that is not beholden to Burning Leo, Fire's main representative and helper). In later games, particularly those that follow Template:KSS KFP's example, Fire would be given a much more versatile move-set, incorporating the fireball of Burning among other more specialized attacks. The main fire breath ability would also be upgraded, allowing Kirby to angle and direct his fire breath to an extent. Being an elemental ability, Fire can be readily combined with other abilities and allies to create potent combinations, particularly in Kirby Star Allies.

As mentioned above, Fire's primary provider and representative helper is Burning Leo. Other common providers include Hot Head, Galbo, and (in appearances where Burning is not a distinct power) Flamer.

Game appearances

Kirby's Adventure/Nightmare in Dream Land

Fire first appears in Kirby's Adventure, the game which introduced Kirby's Copy Abilities, and also appears in its remake, Nightmare in Dream Land. Absorbing a Hot Head allows Kirby to breathe fire at his enemies.

Template:KSS KFP/Kirby Super Star Ultra

In [[Kirby Super Star|Template:KSS KFP]] and the game's remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby can obtain the fire ability through Copy Essences, the Copy Essence Deluxe on Planet Hotbeat, or inhaling fiery enemies, notably Burning Leo. With the fire ability equipped, Kirby can create a Burning Leo as a Helper. These games did not feature the Fire ability's counterpart Burning, but instead included moves associated with Burning into the Fire ability. Therefore, Kirby is not only able to breathe fire at enemies, but to engulf himself in flames and charge forward as well.

Kirby Air Ride

Fire is one of the Copy Abilities which racing Kirbys can use in this spin-off title. When acquired, Kirby is able to spit fire balls which land on the course and remain as conflagrations which can trip up racers who ride over them for a short time. Like other abilities in this game, Fire only lasts for a short while before disappearing.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror

Fire appears along with Burning once again, working like its appearance in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, althought this time Kirby can slightly aim the direction of his fire with the Control Pad, like in Template:KSS KFP. It is once again mainly provided by Hot Head.

Template:KSqS KMoA

Fire makes a return in this title, this time without Burning accompanying it. As such, it is provided by Hot Head, Acchi, and Flamer (who previously provided Burning). Collecting the Ability Scroll for Fire allows Kirby to angle his fire breath up and down while using it.

Template:KRtDL KAW

Fire reappears as an ability in [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Template:KRtDL KAW]], where it is obtained by inhaling fiery enemies such as Hot Heads, Flamers, and Galbos. It can also be obtained from rocks launched by the volcanoes in Dangerous Dinner. The Fire ability is required for some fuses to be lit to launch Kirby from a cannon to secret areas of the stage, which may provide an Energy Sphere. A super version of the Fire ability, called Monster Flame also exists, and can be obtained by inhaling a Super Hot Head.

Notably, due to gaining the "Burn" move from Burning in this game, Fire is now capable of breaking metal blocks.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe

Fire returns in this game, functioning almost identically to the way it did in [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Template:KRtDL KAW]]. However, it lacks Spinning Fire Breath and Burning Flame. It gained two new moves, Fireball Jump and Searing Burn. Like in [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Template:KRtDL KAW]] it can be obtained from Hot Heads and Flamers, in addition, it can be obtained from Flame Galboros and various boss attacks such as Pyribbit's flaming rocks.

Fire Kirby also appears as a collectible Keychain, using a sprite from Kirby Super Star Ultra.

Kirby: Planet Robobot

Fire returns in this game, functioning identically to the way it did in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. It is provided by Hot Head, Galbo, Flamer, and other enemies. When combined with the [[Robobot Armor|Robobot ArmTemplate:Or]], it results in a powerful Fire Mode which can shoot massive flamethrowers and leave conflagrations on the ground.

Kirby Star Allies

Fire returns as an ability in this installment, provided by Burning Leo, who also represents the ability as a Friend. Fire provides the Sizzle enhancement to various Copy Abilities, and can also be used in conjunction with Cleaning or Wing to perform Rising Sizzler.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Fire Kirby appears in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. He can use his fire breath to light gas lamps which can make items appear in a similar manner to breaking a Bomb Block.

”

— Meta Knight, in Kirby Comes to Cappy Town

In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, the Fire ability is the first to be showcased, and is among the most commonly-appearing abilities in the series. True to the games, Fire Kirby's primary power is the ability to breathe a steady stream of fire from his mouth, which can be used to easily fell most foes, even those who are already fire-based. The only entities that Fire Kirby is completely ineffectual against are the monster Flame Feeder—who grows stronger from all sources of heat, Lobzilla—who counters with its own ice breath, and eNeMeE himself—who absorbs the fire breath into his cloak. Unlike in the games, Fire Kirby's powers are limited, as the fire emanating from his hat will gradually shrink and eventually disappear completely the more he uses the ability.

In Cartoon Buffoon, King Dedede attempts to place himself in the role of Kirby in the cartoon, even going so far as to give himself the Fire ability. When Meta Knight is urged to say his line on the matter, he balks, noting that even he could not make the name "Fire Dedede" sound cool. In Fossil Fools - Part II, the monster Kirbysaurus - made from Kirby's DNA - also momentarily gains the Fire ability.

Fire Kirby		Kirby's Adventure (5/93)	When Kirby swallows a fire-wielding enemy, he transforms into Fire Kirby. Not only does he breathe fire in this form, but he can also sprout flames on his entire body and damage enemies by crashing into them. Fire Kirby wears the bright red headdress of his enemy Burning Leo. The hat turns into a helpful weapon when thrown.

This ability also allows Kirby to light explosive blocks, fuses, and so on. In Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Fire Kirby can roll his burning body into enemies as an attack move.

*= This game states that Fire Kirby made a recent appearance in Template:KCC KPP. This is incorrect because, at that time, Template:KSqS KMoA was the recent game that appeared before Brawl.

Fire Kirby		NES Kirby's Adventure (5/1993) SNES Template:KSS KFP	When Kirby first copied the Fire ability he was only able to breathe fire. Nowadays, he can do all sorts of neat things! For example, he can engulf himself in flames and roll forward, burning grass, lighting fuses, melting ice, and so on. What we'd really like him to do, though, is help us make the perfect s'more. Mmmmm.	Once upon a time, all Fire Kirby could do was shoot flames from his mouth, but he's come a long way since then. Now he can roll along the ground as a blazing fireball, burn up grass, light fuses, melt ice and so on. That's great and all, but what we really want to know is...can he help us get a barbecue going?

Template:KSqS KMoA manual

• "Fire Kirby's hot stuff! Use his flames to burn up enemies or surround him in a fiery cloak and charge forward. He can also burn grass and light fuses."

Trivia

• While not quite the first obtainable ability in the series, Fire is the first Copy Ability ever shown in a Kirby game, as it is the first to be demonstrated to the player in the tutorial reel for Kirby's Adventure.
• Fire is the first Copy Ability which appears in the anime series Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, being used by Kirby in the first episode; Kirby Comes to Cappy Town to battle the monster Octacon.
  • Fire is also the first and only Copy Ability which is used by the Kirby-saurus in Fossil Fools - Part II.
• In Kirby's Adventure, it is possible for Fire Kirby to breathe fire underwater for a brief moment by swallowing Hot Head to gain the ability while underwater. This causes him to perform his automatic "demonstration" fire breath, which can defeat enemies and light fuses underwater.
