'''Laser''' is a recurring [[Copy Ability]] traditionally obtained by swallowing enemies like [[Laser Ball]] and [[Metal Guardian]]. It allows [[Kirby]] to fire laser beams, horizontally only. In every game it appears, the Laser shot ricochets off of slanted terrain, which is useful for solving puzzles, such as striking [[Bomb Block]]s above head.
'''Laser''' is an occasionally-occurring [[Copy Ability]] traditionally obtained by swallowing enemies like [[Laser Ball]] and [[Metal Guardian]]. It allows [[Kirby]] to fire laser beams which can quickly strike opponents from a distance for moderate damage. Kirby can only fire these beams horizontally, but in every game it appears, the Laser shot ricochets off of slanted terrain, which is useful for solving puzzles, such as striking [[Bomb Block]]s overhead. The ability can also be used to light [[cannon]] [[fuse]]s, even those that are underwater, which is the intended solution for a particular puzzle in the [[Orange Ocean]] level in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. When obtaining this ability, Kirby gains a pair of futuristic goggles with an unevenly large glass reticle inset, which he briefly lowers over his eyes when he is ready to shoot a laser. In ''Kirby's Adventure'', however, Kirby shoots this laser from his hand instead.

This article is about the Copy Ability. For the hazard in Kirby: Canvas Curse and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, see Laser (hazard).

Laser is an occasionally-occurring Copy Ability traditionally obtained by swallowing enemies like Laser Ball and Metal Guardian. It allows Kirby to fire laser beams which can quickly strike opponents from a distance for moderate damage. Kirby can only fire these beams horizontally, but in every game it appears, the Laser shot ricochets off of slanted terrain, which is useful for solving puzzles, such as striking Bomb Blocks overhead. The ability can also be used to light cannon fuses, even those that are underwater, which is the intended solution for a particular puzzle in the Orange Ocean level in Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. When obtaining this ability, Kirby gains a pair of futuristic goggles with an unevenly large glass reticle inset, which he briefly lowers over his eyes when he is ready to shoot a laser. In Kirby's Adventure, however, Kirby shoots this laser from his hand instead.

Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[edit]

KA Laser icon.png
Kirby using the Laser ability to light an underwater fuse in Kirby's Adventure.

In Kirby's Adventure, the debut game of this ability, Laser Kirby fires laser beams from his hand.

Laser Kirby's headgear, introduced in the remake Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, is similar to the one worn by Copy Kirby.

Each Laser shot deals 3 damage in both games.[1][2]

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror[edit]

Kirby taking advantage of angled terrain to defeat a Sword Knight using Laser in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror.

The Laser ability appears in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror with the exact same sprites and properties of the Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land version.

Each Laser shot deals only 2 damage in this game[3], rather weak compared to other ability's powers. Many enemies will take multiple Laser shots to be defeated. The Laser ability can be obtained from Laser Ball and its larger equivalent, Metal Guardian.

The Laser beam's color matches Kirby's own color which can be changed with Spray Paint.

Kirby: Squeak Squad[edit]

The Laser ability's last appearance is in Kirby: Squeak Squad. It still remains the sprites, properties and custom color mechanics from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror.

After obtaining its Ability Scroll, Laser Kirby can charge his shot into a bigger and more powerful beam that can pass through multiple targets. Here, Laser can also be gained from the bubble item and the laser pointer dropped by Doc.

It's rumored to be a bigger beam than it used to be.

Trivia[edit]

  • In Kirby's Dream Land 3, when Kirby's Spark ability is combined with ChuChu, she attacks by firing laser beams from her tentacle, which can also ricochet off slopes.
  • In the English version of Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Laser's pause flavor text shows what LASER the acronym originally means: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. In the Japanese version of these games, the original pause flavor text says -光学兵器搭載-, which is the same phrase as Optical Weapon Armed from Laser's pause flavor text in the English version of Kirby: Squeak Squad.
    • In the Japanese version of Kirby: Squeak Squad, the phrase becomes -光化学兵器搭載- instead (Photochemistry Weapon Armed).
  • In the Super Smash Bros. series, Kirby can use a similar ability when he copies R.O.B., gaining a laser attack that can rebound off of floors and ceilings, but not walls.
