Simirror is a relatively obscure enemy from the 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 ability when swallowed.
Simirror's name is a pun on the words "similar" and "mirror," referencing how mirrors create reflections.

Trivia[edit]
- Simirror resembles Wizzrobe, an enemy of The Legend of Zelda series in appearance and the use of magical energy attacks.
- On the box art for Kirby Super Star Ultra, Simirror at the bottom-left corner is blocked by the game rating icon: CERO (Japan), ESRB (North America), PEGI (Europe), USK (Germany) or ACB (Australia). Simirror avoids this fate on the Korean box art, which has the GRAC icon placed at the top-right corner.
- This has become a running joke with Japanese Kirby fans, called "Simirror CERO A". It has even been officially referenced through a developer drawing within Kirby Art & Style Collection.
