{{distinguish|the green electrical copy ability that first appeared in Kirby Super Star|[[Spark]]}}
'''Plasma''' is a [[Copy Ability]] introduced in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. The Plasma ability allows Kirby to charge up and fire beams and waves of electricity at various levels of strength, depending on how much energy has been built up. At maximum power, these shots are capable of going through walls and enemies alike, though charging them up requires {{realMe}} to mash rapidly on the D-pad or analog stick.

In most iterations, Plasma is capable only of firing shots forward, but in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', shots can also be fired upward. Upward shots however do not pass through walls or ceilings.

Line 19: Line 18:
In ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', Plasma's shots have homing properties, but the ability is limited-use (like every other ability in that title), with the more powerful blasts causing the ability to be lost faster than lower-level ones.

In most titles where Plasma appears as an ability, it is provided by [[Plasma Wisp]], who can also appear as the [[Helper]] for the ability. In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', Plasma is provided and represented by [[Plugg]]. When obtaining this ability, Kirby gains a jagged diadem with a green circular or triangular gem inset, topped by green frizzy energy that resembles flames. Early appearances of Plasma would also affect Kirby's skin color when equipping the ability: in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', his skin becomes pale, while in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', he turns green. The latter coloration is also present in artwork for ''Kirby Super Star'', in the unreleased ''[[Kirby for Nintendo GameCube]]'', and in Plasma Kirby's trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

==Similarities to Spark==
==Similarities to Spark==
Although never appearing in the same titles together, Plasma and [[Spark]] have shared attributes numerous times in the ''Kirby'' series. The hats are similar, though Spark's is typically less green. In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', Spark had gained an expanded moveset for the first time, and many of those moves were directly based on Plasma, giving the impression that the two abilities had been fused into one. This was seemingly solidified as Spark returned in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' with the same attributes. This trend was broken, however, when Plasma returned in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', gaining a number of new abilities. One of the most notable examples is that Plasma now maintains a constant barrier when charged to at least medium, which resembles Spark's, as it can damage enemies. As such, unlike [[Fire]] vs [[Burning]] and [[Ice]] vs [[Freeze]] where the latter was incorporated into the former, it is unclear what relationship Spark and Plasma will have in future titles.

Plasma made its first appearance in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', replacing Spark and provided by the enemy [[Plasma Wisp]]. In ''Kirby Super Star'', the ability changes Kirby's body into pale pink. In its remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', the ability changes Kirby's body to bright green and his feet to light orange.

{{Quote|This allows you to release a plasma bomb with a press of A. By moving (the control stick) around, you can increase the power of the plasma bomb by five levels!|''Kirby Air Ride'' North American instruction booklet, page 40}}
In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', Plasma provides the [[Zap]] element like other electric-based abilities. The Plasma Spark attack is removed.
Plasma returns in this action racing spin-off game, and is once again provided by Plasma Wisp. Like other abilities in this game, it is limited use, being used up after a sufficient amount of time passes, or a sufficient number of attacks are performed. Unlike other abilities, the number of times Kirby can attack depends on the power level of the shots he fires. Like in ''Kirby Super Star'', there are five levels of charge, though there is no Plasma Barrier this time around.


Interestingly, the instruction booklet refers to the plasma attacks as a "bomb", even though none of the attacks act like proper bombs would.
In addition, Plasma has its signature [[Friend Ability]]: [[Thundersplash]], which requires Plasma + any [[Splash]] element attack.

{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="2"
[[File:KSA Clash at Castle Dedede 03.jpg|thumb|250px|Plasma Kirby using Plasma Wave in ''Kirby Star Allies''.]]
Plasma returns in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' after a long absence from the series, this time being provided by [[Plugg]]. It once again replaces the Spark ability, though it has been given new moves based on Spark's appearance in prior titles. Plasma provides the [[Power Effect|Zap]] element like other electric-based abilities. In addition, Plasma has its signature [[Friend Ability]]: [[Thundersplash]], which requires Plasma + any [[Power Effect|Splash]] element attack.

==Trivia==
*The Plasma ability and the enemy/helper [[Plasma Wisp]] were originally planned to appear in the canceled ''[[Kirby for Nintendo GameCube]]'' game.
*For some reason, Plasma and [[Suplex]] don't receive any new official artwork in ''Kirby Star Allies'', reusing their artwork from ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''. The other returning abilities, [[Cleaning]], [[Cook]] and [[Yo-Yo]], do receive new official artwork, however.
*In the Japanese version of ''Kirby Star Allies'', the move Light-Speed Dash is called '''でんこうせっか''' ("Lightning Speed"), which shares the same Japanese name of the [[bulbapedia:Quick Attack (move)|Quick Attack]] move from the [[bulbapedia:Pokémon|''Pokémon'' series]].
**Since Light-Speed Dash acts similarily to [[smashwiki:Pikachu|Pikachu]]'s Up Special - [[smashwiki:Quick Attack|Quick Attack]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], this could be a subtle ''Pokémon'' reference.
**[[Zan Partizanne]]'s Lightning Dodge functions similarly to Plasma's Light-Speed Dash. Lightning Dodge doesn't require charging but does less [[damage]] than Light-Speed Dash in consecutive use.
*Unused data of the Spark Attack, Thunderbolt and Lightning Strike attacks from the [[Spark]] ability can be found in Plasma's ''Kirby Star Allies'' moveset files, possibly due to straight copying.
