'''Mecha''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'' as an addition to the base game, making its first appearance along with [[Sand]]. With this ability, [[Kirby]] gains a futuristic helmet with a translucent visor similar to the one for [[Jet]] Kirby, and also gains two mechanical fists and two giant cannons (which also function as a jetpack) on his back which are painted blue.

Kirby can use this gear to fire his Blaster Cannon at enemies using the cannons on his back, punch them up close with his Blazing Palm, release a Sizz-Zap Burst that can light up dark places, target skyborne enemies with Fireball Mortars, or place a Shock Bomb downwards. This ability also comes with a unique [[dash]] and [[hover]] where Kirby uses his jetpacks.

Mecha is exclusively obtained from [[Armoroid]], a new enemy added in the remake.

*The armor Kirby gains when copying Mecha strongly resembles the [[wikipedia:Gundam (fictional robot)|Gundam]] from the ''[[wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam|Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' series, a giant battle robot that is heavily influential in Japanese pop culture. In particular, the design takes from the Gundam's pointed samurai-like helmet, primarily white-and-blue color scheme, blocky robotic fists, and back-mounted laser cannons.

**For specific inspiration within the ''Kirby'' series, however, Mecha Kirby's attacks seem to draw heavily from [[Metal General]], while also incorporating ideas presented in elemental attacks from ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.
