Mike, also known as Microphone, is an item appearing in a few Kirby games, starting with Kirby's Dream Land. Starting with Kirby's Adventure, mikes were replaced with the identically-titled Mike Copy Ability, and have not made many appearances since.

Game appearances

Kirby's Dream Land

In Kirby's Dream Land, Mikes appear in fixed locations in certain stages, starting with Castle Lololo. Kirby can inhale a mike, but can only use it by spitting it out. By doing so, Kirby shouts into the Mike, defeating all enemies within range. If Kirby swallows a mike, he loses it, and nothing happens.

Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble

Mikes appear in Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble as collectable stage items, serving the same function as in Kirby's Dream Land.

In Kirby Air Ride, mikes were renamed to Walky, and they appear as rare items in the Top Ride mode. When picked up, Kirby pauses for a moment, and shouts into the mike, causing all other racers to become stunned, unable to move until the players controlling them mash out of it using the control stick.

Kirby Fighters series

Mikes appear in the Kirby Fighters games as a special item. When a fighter uses and shouts into the mike, all opponents receive severe damage, enough to put them into the danger state if they were not already (in which case they are KO'd), and are sent flying across the screen. Some stage hazards like Lololo and Lalala and enemies can be defeated with the mike.

In Kirby Fighters 2, the mike received some changes, now only harming fighters and stage hazards within a certain radius. Buddies can also use the Mike, with some shouting their unique battle cries. In Story Mode: The Destined Rivals, there is a story item called the Anti-Mike Charm, which reduces the amount of damage the player's fighter and partner take by 75%.
