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.

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]
