Mirror-world Kirby is a character from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. As his name implies, he is the alternate Kirby from the Mirror World. He is initially referred to as Shadow Kirby throughout the game, likely because of his dark coloring, but is revealed in the ending as Mirror-world Kirby, who has the duty of protecting the inhabitants of the Mirror World.[1]
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Mirror-world Kirby is first seen in the cut-scene where Dark Meta Knight banishes Meta Knight through the Great Dimension Mirror, then shatters the pieces of the mirror, scattering them to the far winds. After Dark Meta Knight leaves the scene, Mirror-world Kirby appears from off-screen, then follows him through the door.
From there, Mirror-world Kirby can be encountered in various places throughout the world. When he appears, it is usually from behind a wall, as a sinister music-queue kicks in. He comes with 4 HP and can be easily defeated. However, he is not actually hostile, and will merely walk into position, then look at Kirby. If Kirby attacks him, he will leave behind a present before being 'dispatched', usually in the form of a 1-Up. However, he will not leave a present if Kirby inhales him or does nothing to him. It is unclear why Mirror-world Kirby will only leave a present after being attacked. It is also unclear how he survives being inhaled and swallowed by Kirby.
Mirror-world Kirby gives a Copy Ability or none when swallowed in different areas.
- None: Rainbow Route - Warp
- Fire: Mustard Mountain - Room 12
- Cutter: Carrot Castle - Room 16, Radish Ruins - Room 22
- Ice: Peppermint Palace - Goal 1
- Bomb: Candy Constellation - Room 19
During the final fight with Dark Mind, Mirror-world Kirby appears to give Kirby another 1-Up (or the Master sword if Kirby doesn't already have it), this time making it clear that he is an ally. He appears again after the credits roll on a Warp Star to see the other Kirbys off back to their own dimension. It is here that his true identity is finally revealed.
Kirby Star Allies
Mirror-world Kirby makes some cameo appearances in Kirby Star Allies. Here he is still referred to as Shadow Kirby by the official Twitter.[2]
- From Version 3.0.0 onward, a stone plate of Shadow Kirby and Dark Meta Knight's official art from Amazing Mirror appears before the Meta Knight battle in the Sacred Square stage of Kirby Star Allies.
- From Version 4.0.0 onward, after clearing Story Mode, Shadow Kirby on a Warp Star may fly over the Jambastion level map on occasion.

Trivia
- Mirror-world Kirby's official art from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror is just a monochrome, reversed image of Kirby entering a door from the manuals of Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. Thus, Mirror-world Kirby's face cannot be seen in his official art.
- Kirby can take on Mirror-world Kirby's likeness using the Shadow Spray Paint in Kirby Squeak Squad.
- The relationship between Mirror-world Kirby and Shadow Kirby from Kirby Fighters is still unknown.
- In the official Twitter post, Shadow Kirby on his Warp Star is mistaken as a wishmaking shooting star by Zan Partizanne, and she wishes Hyness could remember her name.[2]
- Unlike Kirby, who is seen as more heroic and brave throughout the games, Mirror-World Kirby is seen as more cowardly, such as when instead of fighting Dark Mind directly, he instead just gives the Kirbys a 1-Up or the Master Ability.
