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 ''[[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]].

Kirby | 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]]''. | ||

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. | ||
