Smash Bros., known as Smash prior to Kirby: Planet Robobot, is a rare Copy Ability that debuted in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror

In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, the Smash ability is obtained by swallowing Master Hand after defeat as a mid-boss. The moves represented in this game are Kirby's jab attack, neutral aerial, side special move, up special move, and down special move.

Next to Master, Smash is the second most versatile ability in this game. Smash Kirby can cut ropes, pound stakes and destroy metal blocks.

Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition

Smash Kirby fighting Dubior in the Smash Combat Chamber from the New Challenge Stages in Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition.

Smash makes its first 3D appearance as one of the available Copy Abilities in the New Challenge Stages mode of Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition. It is usable in Smash Combat Chamber, Smash Combat Chamber EX, Magolor Race 3, and Magolor Race EX. Besides his moves returning from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby gains a new move, Smash Kick, which comes from Fighter's moveset and acts as his forward smash attack in Super Smash Bros.

When using Stone or Stone Smash, Kirby can transform into most of the forms available to Stone in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, as well as a handful of unique golden forms: a sprite of Kirby with a "20th" logo on top of him, a sprite of King Dedede, and a statue of Magolor.

Kirby: Planet Robobot

This ability returns under its current name in Kirby: Planet Robobot, with an updated moveset based on Kirby's appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.

Kirby gains another new move in addition to all his previous ones; Air Drop, which comes from Ninja Kirby's moveset and acts as Kirby's up throw in the Super Smash Bros. series. Additionally, Hammer Flip has been reworked to match its chargeable iteration from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and can now break ice blocks and light Fuses. Smash Kick is also chargeable, again to reflect its use in the Super Smash Bros. series. Finally, the Guard in this version of the ability resembles the bubble shields used by most of the characters in the Super Smash Bros. series, though in this case, it can't break.

Trivia

• In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror and Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, Smash Bros. Kirby swings his Hammer upward rather than downward, to mimic the way he attacks in the Super Smash Bros. series (in Kirby: Planet Robobot, it matches Hammer Flip, which is always swung upward).
  • In all appearances, Smash Bros. Kirby uses a silver hooked sword for Final Cutter rather than the usual gold cutter blade, again matching its Super Smash Bros. appearance.
• In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Smash Kirby's Hammer Spin (9 damage) is more powerful than Hammer Kirby's (5 damage). In Kirby: Planet Robobot, however, both versions have the same power.
• Smash Bros. Kirby retains Hammer Spin and Giant Swing in Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition and Kirby: Planet Robobot, even though he no longer has the move in the Super Smash Bros. series proper since Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
• The only truly unique move of Smash Bros. Kirby is Twinkle Star, as no other Copy Ability contains this attack. This move is Kirby's neutral aerial attack in the Super Smash Bros. series.
