Mike
| ||||||||||||||||||
|
Mike is a Copy Ability that Kirby can obtain. When it is equipped, he is able to sing three times, defeating all enemies on-screen, each time. In more recent games, the Mike defeats enemies in its range, but nowhere else. The first two attacks strike in a relatively straight line, while the third attacks all enemies, as it originally did. This ability can be obtained by swallowing a Walky and Mr. Tick-Tock.
In Kirby's Dream Land, the microphone is an item that Kirby can inhale. When he spits the mike out, however, the microphone's projectile will defeat all enemies it comes in contact with.

“ | I forgot how terrible Mike Kirby's singing is! | ” | — Tiff, from Fitness Fiend |
The Mike ability appears in two episodes of the anime series Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. The first appearance is in Abusement Park, when Kirby inadvertently eats Walky while trying to inhale a picture of a watermelon on a television screen. When Kirby has the Mike ability, he is filled with the urge to sing, which is so loud and destructive that it can destroy buildings and defeat monsters. In Abusement Park, Mike Kirby is sent through the Night Mare Enterprises Teleporter in order to be ganged up by monsters in eNeMeE's Fortress, but his singing is so powerful that each monster is destroyed, and the N.M.E. Sales Guy is forced to send him back, where his singing then destroys Castle Dedede.
In Fitness Fiend, Kirby inhales Max Flexer's microphone after enduring his dangerous fitness routine. When he gains the Mike ability, he starts to sing again, destroying Castle Dedede for a second time and defeating Max Flexer in the process.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U | Curious what Kirby's singing voice sounds like? Then track down and inhale Mr. Tick-Tock or a Walky! Kirby can copy the Mike ability and then use a mike or megaphone to really let 'er rip. Sometimes he sounds as cute as he looks, but he can also hit those low notes when he wants to rock. |
Trivia
- In [[Kirby Super Star|Template:KSS KFP]], the scream Kirby makes with the Stand Microphone was voiced by Masahiro Sakurai. According to him, he says "Chesto!", which is a Japanese battle cry originating from the Satsuma province (now Kagoshima).[1]
- When Kirby sings his reprise of Kihon wa Maru in Abusement Park, it is possible to hear a sad horn. He even warps the wormhole as he travels through it.
