Ultra Sword is a Super Ability available in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, obtained by defeating a Super Blade Knight. Like the regular Sword ability, Kirby gains a floppy green cap with the ability, though with extra designs on the brim and star emblems on the forehead and tip. Ultra Sword is the most common Super Ability in the game by a fair margin.
Upon use, Kirby produces a rather large sword or similar cutting implement, which he proceeds to swing in a very large arc across the screen. Like other Super Abilities, the attack deals immesurable damage to enemies and mini-bosses, while it also destroys any terrain or obstacle marked with large stars. The first swing with the ability will produce a more involved cutscene, while swinging with nothing in the target zone will produce no cutscene at all.
Similar to the Stone ability, Kirby's choice of weapon is randomly picked on each swing. Possibilities include:
- Sword
- Meat cleaver
- Cutlass
- Wooden training sword
- Galaxia
- Large blue fish (rare)

Ultra Sword is used in two boss battles: Grand Doomer and Magolor. In both cases, the boss in question shields itself when its health gets very low; the shield must be broken with Super Abilities. Ultra Sword is guarenteed to be the last Super Ability to appear, and is generally then used to finish off the boss once the shield has broken. When used for the final blow the choice of weapon is not random (the regular sword always appears) and it grows to an even larger size.
