Spark is a recurring Copy Ability in the Kirby series that debuted in Kirby's Adventure and has since been established as one of Kirby's most iconic and common abilities, alongside powers like Fire and Ice, particularly due to being among the few abilities to appear in Kirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. It has similar properties to Plasma, another electricity-based power.

Spark is normally of the defensive type, like Freeze or Needle, which means Kirby will station himself in one position while executing the power as it surrounds his body and destroys enemies that make contact with the barrier. Usually, Kirby cannot move while performing Spark. In Kirby: Canvas Curse, Spark was redesigned. Instead of simply covering a small area around him, a smaller area is covered, and line of electricity appears, hurting any enemy above Kirby. If Kirby keeps using Spark while in mid-air, he will hover. However, Spark returned to normal in Squeak Squad. The ability also reappears in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, where, in addition to generating the familiar barrier of electricity, it enables Kirby to fire lightning upwards or downwards. Additionally, it has been combined with the attributes of Plasma, letting the player "charge" the ability by rotating the directional pad or shaking the Wiimote and discharge it in form of a projectile.

The Spark ability also appears in Kirby: Planet Robobot, where its electrical properties come in handy when powering wires and circuits. In this game, there are many attacks and defenses in which Kirby can use when he takes this form. It is also compatible with the Robobot Armor, giving the mechanical suit an extremely powerful plasma cannon.

In Kirby Super Star, its remake, Kirby Air Ride, and Kirby Star Allies, the Spark Copy Ability is replaced with the Plasma ability.

He is now...Spark Kirby!
— Meta Knight, in Dedede's Raw Deal

The Spark Copy Ability makes four distinct appearances in the anime series Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. Though it first appears in the Kirby of the Stars Pilot, its first appearance in the proper series is in Dedede's Raw Deal. Using this ability, Kirby changes colTemplate:Or to green and is able to generate powerful fields of static electricity, and can also fire balls of lightning at his opponents.

Spark Kirby's hat resembles the one he was given in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, though it changes the design of the tiara and changes the energy coming out of the hat to make it more triangular, and the design of this variant of the hat carries forward to the later games in the Kirby series. The anime version of Spark also references the similar Plasma ability during Kirby's transformation sequence, as he starts with a head of teal fire resembling the Plasma hat before gaining the proper Spark hat.
