Shooter Cutter (シューターカッター) is a recurring attack that is used by several characters and/or bosses in the Kirby series. It is often used by Marx and Soul-form bosses and is infamous for being notoriously difficult to react to.

Appearance and function

When used, Shooter Cutter throws out four Cutter-like blades in the four intercardinal directions, flying straight out diagonally, 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.

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