'''Simirror''' is a relatively obscure enemy from the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. Simirror resembles a small wizard with thick hat and robes completely obscuring its body. It attacks by throwing mirror-like projectiles at Kirby, and can also create mirror images of itself. When hit, but not defeated, it will phase out of sight, and reappear somewhere else, much like [[Kabu]] sometimes does. It grants [[Kirby]] the [[Mirror]] [[Copy Ability|ability]] when swallowed.

Simirror's name is a pun on the words "similar" and "mirror," referencing how mirrors create reflections.
