When using the Wrestler ability, Kirby dons a brightly-colored red and yellow luchador mask with flame-like decals which covers the upper half of his body, leaving only two holes in the front for his eyes. This ability gives Kirby several different melee attacks, in addition to lunges, grabs, and throws, making it very similar to both the [[Fighter]] and [[Suplex]] abilities. | When using the Wrestler ability, Kirby dons a brightly-colored red and yellow luchador mask with flame-like decals which covers the upper half of his body, leaving only two holes in the front for his eyes.

Wrestler is a Copy Ability which gives Kirby several different grappling and wrestling moves. It first appeared in Kirby Fighters 2, and is currently exclusive to that game, meaning there is no enemy that grants this ability when swallowed, making it one of two Copy Abilities to have this trait, the other being Jelly in Kirby's Dream Buffet. It is also the second Copy Ability to be introduced in a spin-off game, the first being Balloon, which debuted in Kirby: Canvas Curse.
When using the Wrestler ability, Kirby dons a brightly-colored red and yellow luchador mask with flame-like decals which covers the upper half of his body, leaving only two holes in the front for his eyes. This ability gives Kirby several different melee attacks, in addition to lunges, grabs, and throws, making it very similar to both the Fighter and Suplex abilities.

Kirby Fighters 2
