- This article is about the dark Kirby lookalike from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. For the final boss of Kirby Fighters, see Shadow Kirby (Kirby Fighters).
Shadow Kirby (also referred to as Mirror-world Kirby[1]) is a character from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. As his name implies, he is a shadowy version of Kirby who hails from the Mirror World, and is initially taken to be an enemy. He appears in various places where he will either help or attack Kirby based on the latter's actions, and tosses the pink hero the Master sword during the final battle with Dark Mind if he does not already have it. Shadow Kirby has made a few minor cameo appearances in subsequent games, either in person or as a representation.
Game appearances
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Shadow 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, Shadow Kirby appears from off-screen, then follows him through the door.
From there, Shadow 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 Shadow Kirby will only leave a present after being attacked. It is also unclear how he survives being inhaled and swallowed by Kirby.
Shadow Kirby gives a Copy Ability or none when swallowed in different areas.
- None: Rainbow Route - Warp
- Fire: Mustard Mountain - Room 12
- Cutter: Carrot Castle - Room 16, Radish Ruins - Room 22
- Ice: Peppermint Palace - Goal 1
- Bomb: Candy Constellation - Room 19
During the final fight with Dark Mind, Shadow 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.
Kirby Star Allies

Trivia
- Shadow Kirby's official art from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror is just a monochrome, reversed image of Kirby entering a door from the manuals of Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. Thus, Shadow Kirby's face cannot be seen in his official art.
- Kirby can take on Shadow Kirby's likeness using the Shadow Spray Paint in Kirby: Squeak Squad.
- The relationship between Shadow Kirby and the Shadow Kirby from Kirby Fighters is still unknown.
- In the official Twitter post, Shadow Kirby on his Warp Star is mistaken as a wishmaking shooting star by Zan Partizanne, and she wishes Hyness could remember her name.[2]
- Unlike Kirby, who is seen as more heroic and brave throughout the games, Shadow Kirby is seen as more cowardly, such as when instead of fighting Dark Mind directly, he instead just gives the Kirbys a 1-Up or the Master Ability.
