Kirby kicks behind and above him. Deals most damage and has most range in the back and above, but has a tiny bit of range in front as well. It's a good quick way to send your opponent in the air, which will allow you to unleash some aerial juggling.

Kirby crouches and kicks low. This has a roughly 50% chance of tripping targets if it hits. Considering Kirby essentially becomes a pancake when he ducks and kicks, this can be used to counter certain attacks that hit high. This can be used to set up a Forward Smash or certain copy abilities. | Kirby crouches and kicks low. This has a roughly 50% chance of tripping targets if it hits.

A leaping kick; the range on this is ridiculous and vastly underrated, rivaling even Ike's or Marth's Forward Smashes. Thankfully it's also Kirby's second-strongest strike in terms of both damage and knockback, is comparatively fast for a smash, and has amazing priority for a smash. | A leaping kick; the range on this is ridiculous and vastly underrated, rivaling even Ike's or Marth's Forward Smashes. Thankfully it's also Kirby's second-strongest strike in terms of both damage and knockback, is comparatively fast for a smash, and has amazing priority for a smash. This is overall Kirby's best attack, and you should be seeing use of it quite often once the opponent is at higher damage levels. | ||
Although it's still fast, keep in mind it's just fast ''for a forward smash'', so still be careful how you use it | Although it's still fast, keep in mind it's just fast ''for a forward smash'', so still be careful how you use it. | ||

Kirby backflips, unleashing the fury of his foot in the process, striking in an overhead arc. The most damage is unleashed in front of Kirby, some is dealt above, and the least is dealt behind.

If you're looking to cover both sides, his Down Smash is | If you're looking to cover both sides, his Down Smash is usually better suited, as more significant damage is dealt and more range is offered. If a fighter's dive bombing you, it's usually safer and more effective to roll out, then hit them with a Forward Smash as they land (or alternatively, to shield, then grab as they land, IF they land in front of you). If you're looking for a dashing strike, don't use this unless you're a master of mind games... it's far too predictable, and easy to dodge compared to grabs, a dash attack, jumps, or any number of fake-outs you can pull. | ||

Kirby splits, kicking on both sides simultaneously. It's his weakest of smashes. At the very tips of Kirby's feet, it knocks in a perfect horizontal direction (as opposed to the typical 45-degree angle), making it harder to recover from for some characters, ''and'' makes it easier to spike or Kirbycide the recovering target. | Kirby splits, kicking on both sides simultaneously.

You'll love this if you're a master of spacing who can nail foes with the edge of Kirby's foot. Otherwise, try to stay away from using it as a general attack, since the risks are greater and damage weaker than his other smashes.

Kirby spins on his head as his legs twirl through the air like helicopter blades. Getting all six hits is rather unusual, range on this isn't too great, and has a dangerously long duration, but that same duration can come in handy against side-steppers. | Kirby spins on his head as his legs twirl through the air like helicopter blades.

Kirby's aerials offer up a decent variety, and the air is generally where he's best piling up damage for a KO (especially against slow fallers or enemies with weak aerial game), partially thanks to his multi-jump.

Do not use unless your life depends on it: Since it hits on all sides, opens fast enough (in the air, only his Back Aerial is notably faster), and has such a long duration, it works decently as a spacing move. | Do not use unless your life depends on it: Since it hits on all sides, opens fast enough (in the air, only his Back Aerial is notably faster), and has such a long duration, it works decently as a spacing move. | ||

Three successive kicks; it isn't too difficult to hit with all three, but is hard enough to make this move somewhat unfavorable.

It can be used as a Wall of Pain (jumping off the edge to repeatedly hit an enemy, forcing them off the screen, and then recovering using Kirby's multiple jumps). As with the Forward Air, this can be short hopped out of a dash. | ||
