'''Suplex''' is a [[Copy Ability]] primarily which allows [[Kirby]] to grab and toss his foes in several different ways to defeat them. This ability is provided by [[Mid-Boss]]es [[Bugzzy]], [[Jukid]], and [[Phan Phan]], though [[Bugzzy]] is the primary representative of the ability. When Kirby obtains this ability, he gains a blue headband similar to the red band of the [[Fighter]] ability, and gains a darker tone to his skin in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', Kirby keeps his normal skin tone, but the headband is changed to resemble a wrestling belt.

The Suplex ability made its debut in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', where it is primarily obtained from the mid-bosses [[Bugzzy]] and [[Jukid]], the former of which being the representative [[helper]] for the ability. Kirby can also obtain the Suplex ability through a [[Copy Essence Deluxe]], and in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', it is also provided by the mid-boss [[Phan Phan]]. With this ability, Kirby gets darker skin and a blue headband, similar to that of the [[Fighter]] ability. His main attacks consist of grabbing opponents and tossing them in various ways, though he also gains a downwards kick that he can use on opponents who cannot be grabbed directly.
