“ | Time for some shooting-star sharpshooting! Pew, pew! Hold the button down to charge and aim, then let go to send a sparkling shot flying. Charge it up for bigger blasts! | ” | — Ranger's figurine description in Kirby and the Forgotten Land |
Ranger is a Copy Ability that equips Kirby with a star-studded hunter's cap and a small blunderbuss that shoots stars. This ability allows Kirby to attack foes by firing at them in various ways, and also allows for very long-range attacks. The star attached to the cap works as a headlamp, though this is not ever required to use. This ability made its first (and so far only) appearance in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Ranger also has two Evolved Copy Ability forms, those being Noble Ranger and Space Ranger. Ranger and its variants are the only abilities that are able to hit the Target Switch.
