This article is about the Copy Ability in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. For Meta Knight's sword in the anime and more recent titles, see Galaxia.

KatAMMasterIcon.png Master is a Copy Ability in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. It is obtained by wielding Meta Knight's sword, Galaxia, provided by him just before the final encounter with Dark Mind, and is left behind in the Central Circle after the game is completed.

Properties

Master is similar to the Sword ability at first glance, but bears key differences in its move-set. With nine separate moves, it is by far the most complex ability in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. Using the ability, Kirby can thrust upward to attack airborne opponents, throw beams using Final Cutter and Sword Beam, light fuses using sword swipes, fly forward and bust metal blocks using Drill Rush, and pound stakes using a downward Stab.

Kirby gains no hat or other costume piece when using this ability, but the sword itself glows with a strong golden light. The Master sword itself is strongly implied to be Galaxia, but is not explicitly named as such, and does not resemble the sword in shape. While Kirby gains the Master ability to battle Dark Mind at the end of the game, the use of the ability is not required to defeat him, and the ability can be lost at any time, unlike other Final Weapons in the Kirby series.

Game appearances

Subscreen explaining the Master ability.

This is the Master ability's first game appearance. After Dark Meta Knight is defeated, a large vortex appears that leads to the lair of the game's final boss, Dark Mind. As the Kirbys jump into the vortex, the real Meta Knight, who is present, throws in his sword to help the Kirbys. When the Kirbys land in Dark Mind's lair, the sword is there, plunged into a pedestal in the ground. When Kirby touches the sword, he automatically gets the Master ability.

Master is the strongest ability in the game. The ability can solve every puzzle in the game except for those that require Mini Kirby.

After beating the game, the ability becomes available in the Central Circle.
