The '''Invincible Candy''',<ref>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby: Planet Robobot|type=digital}}<br>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby: Triple Deluxe|type=digital}}<br>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby's Dream Collection|page=8}}</ref> formerly known as '''Candy''',<ref>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby Super Star Ultra|page=21}}<br>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby & The Amazing Mirror|page=27}}<br>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby: Squeak Squad|page=23}}<br>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby Air Ride|page=24}}<br>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby Dream Land|page=13}}</ref> is a special item found in most games of the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It is a rare item that resembles a glowing lollipop with a star. While the Invincible Candy is a lollipop, it is not technically [[food]], as it does not recover any [[Stamina|health]].

==Game appearances==

In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' the Candy makes Kirby invincible for a short time. He will flash, surrounded by small stars. The effects are carried over between rooms and on the [[Warp Star]]; however, there are no situations in which the effects of the Candy last after taking the Warp Star. Making contact with a foe triggers hitlag. The Candy can be consumed by simply touching it or inhaling it from afar, in which case Kirby automatically swallows anything he may have inhaled. The effects of the Candy do not protect Kirby from [[bottomless pit]]s.

===''Kirby's Adventure'' / ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

===''Kirby's Pinball Land''===

In ''[[Kirby's Pinball Land]]'' Candy behaves similarly to [[Apple]]s. Coming in contact with it consumes it without knocking Kirby back and grants the player 3000 points.

===''Kirby's Block Ball''===

===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

===''Kirby's Dream Land 3''===

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

===''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''===

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

===''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble''===

===''Kirby Air Ride''===

In ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', Candy appears only in the [[Top Ride]] and [[City Trial]] modes. In both modes, it makes Kirby's [[Air Ride Machine]] impervious to all attacks, items, and hazards. It may also appear in the [[Stadium]] modes [[Destruction Derby]] and [[Vs. King Dedede]]. Notably, Candy does not play its signature theme, rather a whooshing sound will play to alert other players. Like its other appearances, the Candy will make the player flash and have stars surround them as well.

===''Kirby: Canvas Curse''===

===''Kirby: Squeak Squad''===

Invicible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

===''Kirby Mass Attack''===

===''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse''===

===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===

In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', Invincible Candy works much like its predecessors, albeit now being shared with a high-five rather than Face-to-Face.

Notably, the final [[Mouthful Mode]] segment of the main game ([[Big-Rig Mouth]] during the [[Fecto Elfilis]] fight) plays "[[A Full-Speed Farewell from the New World]]", which incorporates the Invincible Candy theme and even uses the term {{furi|無敵|むてき}} ("invincible") in its Japanese name ({{furi|無敵|むてき}}にGOODBYE NEW WORLD！).

Invincible Candy can be found in the following stages:

===''Kirby's Dream Buffet''===

Additionally, a [[Character Treat]] of the Invincible Candy appears using its artwork from ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Invincible Candy appears as a [[Smashwiki:List of stickers (Kirby series)|sticker]] which adds +4 damage to R.O.B.'s "Specials: Direct" attacks. It is unclear exactly which attacks are boosted by this sticker.

==Music==

While Kirby is under the effect of an Invincible Candy, a special musical theme plays, which can be heard in nearly every game that includes the Candy. ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' and ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' are the only games to have a different Invincible Candy theme than the recurring one. When the Invincible Candy is consumed in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', no special theme is played at all.

*In promotional art for the ''Kirby'' series, e.g. from the "Pupupu Train" event or the [[Kirby JP Twitter]], Invincible Candies are depicted as ordinary lollipops that are sold in stores.

*The effect of the Invincible Candy is similar to that of the [[mariowiki:Super Star|Super Star]] from the [[mariowiki:Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' series]]. In recent ''Mario'' games, the Super Star can speed up its user, too.
