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-Bosses 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.

Kirby can also obtain the Suplex ability through Copy Essences Deluxe. With the Suplex ability equipped, Kirby can create Bugzzy as a helper. With this ability Kirby gets darker skin and a blue headband (similar to the Fighter ability).
