'''Hi-Jump''' is an infrequent [[Copy Ability]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. [[Kirby]] can get it by swallowing a [[Starman]], and while using the ability, he gains a winged circlet and superhero-like cape. Using this ability, Kirby can jump very high, damaging foes he collides with and gaining invincibility during the jump. Later games would expand Hi-Jump's movement capabilities, allowing Kirby to leap even while in the air, or even rocket downward with a similarly devastating dive, with steering controls for both directions that are tricky to master, but allow for pin-point precision.

The Hi-Jump ability debuted in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and also appears in its remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. While having no costume in the original ''Kirby's Adventure'', Hi-Jump Kirby gets his signature cape in its remake. It is only provided by [[Starman]], and there is a [[Museum]] for it in [[Butter Building]].

Notably, this ability has a prominent role in the boss battle with [[Kracko]] in [[Grape Garden]]. At the beginning of the boss stage, Kirby must ascend the sky until he reaches the final destination for the battle with Kracko, while avoiding [[Kracko Jr.]] on the way. It is well-advised to use this ability to quickly reach the battlefield.

===''Kirby's Dream Course''===
===''Kirby's Dream Course''===
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'', Kirby can obtain the Hi-Jump ability by colliding with an enemy [[Starman]]. When acquiring this ability, Kirby can make a large high leap in a given direction, defeating enemies he comes into contact with and clearing tall walls and gaps. This jump can also be used in midair, but can only be done once per shot.

In ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', Hi-Jump deals 20 damage (for reference, [[Star Bullet]] deals 40 in this game).

In addition, this ability can be upgraded by obtaining its [[Ability Scroll]] which can be found in [[Cushy Cloud]] Stage 4. While not increasing its damage output, Hi-Jump Scroll increases its attack hitbox and allows this ability to break [[Block#Metal Block|Metal Blocks]].

The Hi-Jump ability has gained some new features in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', most notably the ability to charge, and jump downward in midair. However, this ability has received significantly slower execution in ''Return to Dream Land'' than in previous games, which, combined with its decreased damage output, makes it one of the least viable abilities for a boss battle in this game.

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
In ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', Hi-Jump Kirby appears as a randomly-obtained [[keychain]], using his sprite from ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''. Hi-Jump Kirby does not appear as an ability in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' proper.
=== ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' ===
[[File:KDB Hi-Jump Kirby screenshot.jpg|thumb|150px|Hi-Jump Kirby, as seen in ''Kirby's Dream Buffet''.]]
Hi-Jump appears as one of the [[Copy Food]] abilities in ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', obtained by collecting a Hi-Jump Gummy from a [[Food Box]]. Here, instead of giving Kirby his familiar cape, it transforms him into a coiled gummy spring. He can then perform a single massive leap from his position to land further down on the race track. By holding the R button down upon activation, the landing location can be adjusted. When he lands, any racers near the landing site will be knocked back.
