'''Freeze''' is a [[Copy Ability]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] that has similar properties to [[Ice]]. Freeze is a barrier technique ability, which means Kirby surrounds himself in the ability's element while using it and cannot move while doing so. In all games it appears in, Freeze is primarily obtained from swallowing [[Chilly]], as well as the [[Mid-Boss]] [[Mr. Frosty]]; if Freeze does not appear in a game, these opponents yield the Ice ability instead. Freeze does not give Kirby a distinctive outfit or hat in most of the games it appears in, but in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', Kirby gains a blue parka, nearly identical to the one he gains when copying the [[SmashWiki:Ice Climbers|Ice Climbers]] in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' games.

In ''[[Kirby Super Star|{{KSS KFP}}]]'' and its [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|remake]], as well as ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|{{KRtDL KAW}}]]'' and subsequent titles, Freeze is not an ability, but a move integrated into the Ice copy ability that acts exactly the same, known as Ice Storm.

Freeze makes its debut appearance along with [[Ice]] in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. It can be obtained from [[Chilly]] or [[Mr. Frosty]]. Like Ice, Freeze Kirby can freeze enemies into solid blocks of ice and kick them around into other enemies.
 
In ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', the Freeze ability makes Kirby's color change into a light blue when he gets this ability, just like Ice. In ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', the Freeze ability gains its own hat, resembling a parka hood. Kirby also loses his blue coloring with the introduction of the hat.
 
Freeze was merged into the Ice ability for most of ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''{{'}}s development, like it was in ''Kirby Super Star''. Near the end of development, designer Teruhiko Suzuki insisted upon splitting them, working overtime to ensure they would be separate.<ref>[https://shmuplations.com/kirbynightmare/ ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'' – 2002 Developer Interview (translated by shmuplations.com)]</ref>

Freeze returns in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', making its only 3-D appearance in this title. When Kirby collects this ability, he gains the power to conjure a freezing aura around himself whenever he is charging a [[Boost (move)|boost]]. This aura will damage any foes around him, though its usefulness can be hampered with certain [[Air Ride Machine]]s.

===''Kirby: Canvas Curse''===
===''Kirby: Canvas Curse''===
In ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', Kirby can get the Freeze ability from a Chilly. When Kirby is tapped with this ability, he slides across the ground and creates an icy aura which freezes enemies. The resulting ice block can then be knocked away and defeat enemies that end up in its path. The icy aura can also destroy certain blocks.

{{Quote|This hood is extra-warm, even in the coldest weather.|'''Freeze Hood''' description from ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]''}}
In ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'', there is an unlockable type of [[Costumes|headgear]] for [[Ice]] Kirby based on the Freeze ability. It is called the Freeze Hood, and it costs 1500 Battle Coins. Freeze was not eligible in the two Copy Ability polls for the game's update, and this is possibly the reason why.

*Although the ability does not appear in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', combining the Ice ability with [[Rick]] in these games results in a power that behaves nearly identically to Freeze.

*Freeze is one of various abilities in the ''Kirby'' series that have been fused into a different ability in certain games; others are [[Burning]], which is sometimes part of the [[Fire]] ability, and [[Plasma]], which has been merged into [[Spark]] in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|{{KRtDL KAW}}]]''.

*Freeze's hat appears as alternate [[Alternate costumes#Kirby Battle Royale|headgear]] for the Ice ability in ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]''. As a result, Freeze was not available to vote for in the game's Copy Ability polls.
*Freeze Kirby's costume resembles a blue parka, similar to his appearance when he absorbs the Ice Climbers' abilities in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros]]'' games.
