'''Jet''' is a [[Copy Ability]] primarily obtained by [[inhale|inhaling]] and swallowing one of the [[Capsule J]] series of enemies. It allows [[Kirby]] to fly at rapid pace in the air, as well as performing various jet-based attacks. Using this ability carefully, Kirby can make rapid progress using sudden bursts of movement while knocking away his foes in the process.

The ability operates in much the same way as in ''Kirby Super Star'' and ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', but has also been granted more attack options. However, its attacking range and strength have been somewhat reduced. Additionally, the Jet Headbutt move can no longer be performed repeatedly to fly forward indefinitely, as Kirby will visibly tire after a few uses, reducing the distance and height he gains from each headbutt until he touches the ground.

The [[Jet]] ability makes two appearances in the anime series ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', in the episodes [[Delivery Dilemma]] and [[A Sunsational Puzzle]]. In both of these episodes, much more focus is placed on Jet Kirby's flying ability than his offensive capabilities. However, he does use the "Jet Cracker" technique to defeat the [[Delivery Man]]. In A Sunsational Puzzle, Jet is the first ability Kirby obtains in order to battle the [[Ozomashii]], though he does not accomplish much before the ability is knocked off of him.

In the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], the Jet ability makes an appearance in ''[[Kirby: Big Race in Pupupu Land!]]'', where [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] obtains it from [[Capsule J2]]. With this [[Copy Ability]], Kirby can use his jet to fly at incredible speeds.
 
In ''Kirby: Big Race in Pupupu Land!'', [[Kizario]] and his pet [[Peperon]] fall off a cliff and land in a river. While everyone is shocked, Kirby immediately calls for Capsule J2 to lend him his strength, and inhales him for the Jet ability. Jet Kirby flies down the cliff at full throttle and grabs onto Peperon, who is holding on to Kizario. Peperon is very heavy, but Kirby eventually musters enough strength to lift the two out of the water. Everyone cheers as Kirby flies them back to the top of the cliff. With Kizario and Peperon back to safety, Kirby frees Capsule J2 by dropping his Jet ability.

This article is about the Copy Ability. For other uses of Jet, see Jet (disambiguation).

Jet is a Copy Ability primarily obtained by inhaling and swallowing one of the Capsule J series of enemies. It allows Kirby to fly at rapid pace in the air, as well as performing various jet-based attacks. Using this ability carefully, Kirby can make rapid progress using sudden bursts of movement while knocking away his foes in the process. He can also perform tackling techniques and light fuses using his jet's exhaust.

When Kirby gains the Jet ability, he is given a blue and white hat which resembles a miniature fighter jet. The "windscreen" of the jet forms a pair of goggles which Kirby can wear while flying, and the engines on back perform the propulsion that Kirby needs when using this ability. The flame from the jet's engines is characteristically blue in color as well.

Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]

Jet made its debut in Kirby Super Star where it is obtained from the enemy Capsule J or a Copy Essence Deluxe.

The ability allows Kirby to fly forward and attack with bursts of speed, and also move very quickly upward. The exhaust can also be used to light cannon fuses.

In the remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra, the original enemy/helper Capsule J has been replaced by Capsule J2, but Jet Kirby still functions the same.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]

Jet does not appear as an ability in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. However, a keychain depicting Jet Kirby can be collected, using his sprite from Kirby Super Star.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

Kirby using the Jet ability in Kirby: Planet Robobot.

After a long absence from the Kirby series, the Jet ability returns in Kirby: Planet Robobot. It is acquired from the Capsule J3 enemy.

The ability operates in much the same way as in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, but has also been granted more attack options. However, many of its moves have been given tweaks to their attacking power and range. The unique Hover the ability has was also changed to rise into the air much faster. Additionally, the Jet Headbutt move can no longer be performed repeatedly to fly forward indefinitely, as Kirby will visibly tire after a few uses, reducing the distance and height he gains from each headbutt until he touches the ground.
