|Gussa can be made to swim, leap out of water, and jump in mid-air. It can use its propeller to gain horizontal speed in the water, but moves very slowly on land. It can only attack by collision, and will get stuck briefly if it rams into a wall.

In [[Kirby Fighters|all]] [[Kirby Fighters Deluxe|three]] [[Kirby Fighters 2|installments]] of the [[Kirby Fighters (series)|''Kirby Fighters'' series]], playable characters can turn into Ghosts when defeated in regular matches, either in free for all or in team battles. Once a fighter is KO'd, they can turn into a ghost after a short amount of time, where they then can wander around the battlefield slowly. The goal in this state is to find an opponent to hit using Ghost's rather slow move-set. While Ghost characters cannot take further damage, they can still be knocked away by attacks unless they Vanish. If the Ghost character manages to hit an opponent, the fighter in question can be revived with a fraction of their original [[health]] and continue fighting. However, if a winner is decided via only one fighter or team being left standing or if time runs out, any ghosts on the screen will lose their chance to revive. Additionally, if a revived fighter is KO'd again, it will take longer and longer for them to reappear as a ghost with each subsequent KO. Unlike in ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'', Ghost characters in the ''Kirby Fighters'' games retain their original body color.

Once a fighter is KO'd, they can turn into a ghost after a short amount of time, where they then can wander around the battlefield slowly. The goal in this state is to find an opponent to hit using Ghost's rather slow moveset. While Ghost characters cannot take further damage, they can still be knocked away by attacks unless they Vanish. If the Ghost character manages to hit an opponent, the fighter in question can be revived with a fraction of their original [[health]] and continue fighting. However, if a winner is decided via only one fighter or team being left standing or if time runs out, any ghosts on the screen will lose their chance to revive.

Ghost characters can appear in games with default rule-sets in all three ''Kirby Fighters'' games, whenever more than two players are fighting. However, the Ghost mechanic can be manually disabled in all three games as well if the players see fit. In addition, Ghost as a mechanic cannot be utilized in the Single Player modes of Kirby Fighters or ''Kirby Fighters Deluxe'' (unless a team round is being played), nor in [[Single-Handed Mode]] in ''Kirby Fighters 2''.
