Copy abilities are Kirby's signature skill. Using Inhale, Kirby can copy any character's neutral special move, gaining a hat that signifies the character of the ability he copied from. Trying to use Inhale while he has a copy ability will result in Kirby using the copied ability instead. Unfortunately, Kirby cannot copy custom moves, only the default version of every neutral special move. Kirby can lose his copy ability if he is hit with a powerful attack, is KO'd or when he taunts. | Copy abilities are Kirby's signature skill.

* '''Mario: Fireball''' - Kirby throws a fireball that bounces along the ground. A projectile ability is always a nice addition to Kirby's skillset, and the Fireball's range and trajectory makes it a worthwhile ability to hold on to. | * '''Mario: Fireball''' - Kirby throws a fireball that bounces along the ground.
