'''Paint''' is a limited-use [[Copy Ability]] appearing in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' which, when used, becomes a powerful attack on [[boss]]es. [[Kirby]] can gain the Paint ability by swallowing the colored projectiles from [[Chameleo Arm]], [[Heavy Lobster]], or [[Marx Soul]]. The Paint ability can be used only for one attack before Kirby is reverted to normal. Like other limited-use abilities, Kirby cannot create a [[helper]] from the Paint ability. Paint also cannot be obtained through a [[Mix]].


'''Paint''' is a limited use [[Copy Ability]] appearing in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|its remake]] which, when used, becomes a powerful attack on [[Boss]]es. [[Kirby]] can gain the paint ability from swallowing the colored projectiles from [[Chameleo Arm]], [[Heavy Lobster]] and [[Marx Soul]]. The Paint ability is good only for one attack before Kirby is reverted to normal, tied with [[Cook]] for the least amount of uses of any Copy Ability in the ''Kirby'' series. Additionally, like the Cook ability, Kirby cannot create a partner while in Paint form. Paint, along with Cook, are also the only abilities that cannot be obtained through inhaling multiple Copy Ability-wielding enemies.
When Kirby uses the Paint ability, he splatters large drops of paint in several places on the screen, followed by Kirby lashing out with some wild brush strokes, causing a different effect depending on what boss he is fighting. When paint is used on Chameleo Arm, his color is changed or he is made perfectly visible again if he had turned invisible. If the ability is used on Heavy Lobster, it causes it to turn red and a paint blob to cover its eye, blinding it and thus causing it to attack randomly instead of aiming at Kirby. However, when this ability is used on Marx Soul, there is no visual difference, and all it does is cause a little bit of damage to the boss. If taken outside of a boss battle by either letting a [[Helper]] finish off the boss or by returning to the world map of [[Milky Way Wishes]], the Paint ability can be used on normal enemies, where it functions exactly the same as the [[Crash]] ability.

*Paint is, so far, the only Copy Ability that does not have a specific enemy to represent it, or provide it when swallowed.
While Paint itself would not appear in any games aside from ''Kirby Super Star'' and ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', its influence can be seen in the [[Artist]] move "Painbrush", which is a similar attack that splatters paint everywhere and defeats all regular enemies currently on-screen. This move cannot be used by [[Vividria]], and Kirby loses the Artist ability after using the move, similar to how Paint functions.

The Paint ability appears only once in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', in the episode [[Dedede's Monsterpiece]]. Here, [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] obtains the ability after [[inhale|inhaling]] [[Paint Roller]]'s paintbrush. The ability is depicted differently here than it is in ''Kirby Super Star'' and ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', giving Kirby a pair of roller skates similar to those of Paint Roller, and the ability to paint things that come to life like he does. This depiction of the Paint ability makes it more similar to the [[Artist]] [[Copy Ability]] which would appear later in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

This article is about the Copy Ability from Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, and should not be confused with Artist, a Copy Ability from Kirby Star Allies.

Paint is a limited-use Copy Ability appearing in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra which, when used, becomes a powerful attack on bosses. Kirby can gain the Paint ability by swallowing the colored projectiles from Chameleo Arm, Heavy Lobster, or Marx Soul. The Paint ability can be used only for one attack before Kirby is reverted to normal. Like other limited-use abilities, Kirby cannot create a helper from the Paint ability. Paint also cannot be obtained through a Mix.

When Kirby uses the Paint ability, he splatters large drops of paint in several places on the screen, followed by Kirby lashing out with some wild brush strokes, causing a different effect depending on what boss he is fighting. When paint is used on Chameleo Arm, his color is changed or he is made perfectly visible again if he had turned invisible. If the ability is used on Heavy Lobster, it causes it to turn red and a paint blob to cover its eye, blinding it and thus causing it to attack randomly instead of aiming at Kirby. However, when this ability is used on Marx Soul, there is no visual difference, and all it does is cause a little bit of damage to the boss. If taken outside of a boss battle by either letting a Helper finish off the boss or by returning to the world map of Milky Way Wishes, the Paint ability can be used on normal enemies, where it functions exactly the same as the Crash ability.

The Paint ability appears only once in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, in the episode Dedede's Monsterpiece. Here, Kirby obtains the ability after inhaling Paint Roller's paintbrush. The ability is depicted differently here than it is in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, giving Kirby a pair of roller skates similar to those of Paint Roller, and the ability to paint things that come to life like he does. This depiction of the Paint ability makes it more similar to the Artist Copy Ability which would appear later in Kirby Star Allies.
