Kirby has many abilities at his disposal. They are powerful and can be enhanced by Copy Scrolls (For example, if you get the Scroll for the Cutter Ability, its blade is enhanced to Cutter Scimitar, while the UFO ability gains a rotating spark around it) These abilities can be received from:
- Eating an enemy with an ability. For example, if you eat a Sir Kibble, you get the Cutter ability, whereas eating a flying pig grants the Hi-Jump Ability.
- The Magic Ability Roulette may give you a random ability. More Info below.
- The Mini Bosses may also drop abilities.
Abilities can be received from bubbles. You can mix the bubbles for different abilities. Mixing usually gets a random ability, although certain treasure allows a special combination that ALWAYS wields a certain ability!

Ghost[edit | edit source]
- Ghost is a secret ability you can unlock if you collect all 7 parts of the ghost medal. It can be obtained in World 8. First, get the Bubble ability from the bright blue enemy with a hat made of bubbles from 1-8. Then leave the level and go to 2-8. Go on through the level while trying not to lose your ability and take on too much damage. When you see a Sleep enemy, turn them into a bubble and get it. When you see a second one, do the same thing. Take out your stylus and mix the two together, and you get Ghost Kirby. If you lose the ability and can't get it back or die, repeat the procedures again.
- will make you dash
- on an enemy will let you control them
- to make the enemy attack
- to stop controlling the enemy
The first miniboss happens to be the one on the Ghost Medal. Use his ghostly minions by swallowing and spitting them at it. DO NOT go too close to him or else he will possess you and make one of his minions attack you. If you have an ability, use it to destroy him quicker. Swallow the ghost and you will also be Ghost Kirby.
Triple Star[edit | edit source]
- This is a secret ability you can only get on the final level of the game or in the item castle. Daroach uses it to throw out three stars in the boss battles.
- in the ground throws a star out. You can control like you control a cutter boomerang. It breaks grey blocks, burns clouds, etc., and a bad move for Robokracko.
- in the air does a star shot spin move. This cannot be controlled. Best move for Robokracko with this ability as it doesn't send you plummeting into the pit.
