Item

Artwork of Kirby carrying a Crackler, which is an item.

An Item is any interactable object within a stage which can be collected, picked up, or equipped by playable characters, and which cannot be classified as a device. Typically, items are used to either directly benefit the playable character who uses them or to incentivize the player by meeting game objectives and/or unlocking new content. Common examples of the former are food items which restore health and attack items such as a Mint Leaf, while examples of the latter include collectibles like Point Stars, Treasures, and 1-Ups. Some items may be necessary to solve certain puzzles in stages, while others need to be collected to progress the game's story (or at the very least, attain 100% completion). Most of these items however tend to be optional, with the only benefit of collecting them being to enhance the gameplay in some manner, though items may provide advantages.

Types of items

Items come in a number of broad categories. The following summarizes the basic properties of each category of items and then lists (chronologically by default) each item in the series by its category.

Note that items which only appear in Sub-Games will not be listed here.

Effect items

An effect item is defined as any item which bestows an effect on the playable character who picks it up or on the surrounding environment, whether it be positive or negative, temporary or permanent. These sorts of items typically vanish as soon as they are acquired.

The following is a list of every effect item in the Kirby series:

Unlike effect items, carry items tend to remain on-screen after they are picked up until they are used up. Some of these items have similar characteristics to more mobile devices.
