Marx using Shooter Cutter in Kirby Super Star; this is the first use of this attack in the Kirby series, but by no means the last.

Shooter Cutter[Japanese title] is a reoccurring attack used by several characters and bosses in the Kirby series. It is often used by Marx and all Soul-form bosses but Magolor Soul and is infamous for being notoriously difficult to react to.

Function[edit]

When used, Shooter Cutter throws out several Cutter-like blades, flying straight out at an angle, and then looping around and returning to the entity which threw them. These blades often come out very quickly and with little forewarning, covering a moderate area around the user. It is also often the case that this move is used two or more times in succession.

The exact details of this attack vary by user - Marx, the originator, used the attack downward with four blades spaced roughly 45 degrees apart, but several bosses later on use the attack at 90-degree angles.

Typically, while the blades are out, they can be inhaled and swallowed for the Cutter ability or spat out to counterattack.
