Kirby games are mostly known for the wide variety of copy abilities you can transform into. Some are the most useless things ever, and others are considered the best ability of all time. Which copy ability is your favorite? My favorite would probably have to be Stone. I know, such a noob choice. But I mean come on, even thought it takes longer to defeat the bosses, you are invincible to almost any attack. If that doesn't say an ability is good I don't know what does.

(Apologies if there's already a thread like this, I didn't see one. If there is, though, feel free to close this.)

I'm a huge fan of Mirror, Ninja, and Water powers the most. I love most of the copy abilities. Although the irrelevent copy powers that were merged with other powers kind of sucked on their own. (Did we NEED Fire and Fireball to be separate? Ice and Freeze? No?)

I would say that my favorite would have to be his Back Drop ability from Kirby's Adventure. If you've never heard of it basically Kirby sucks up enemies like normal but instead of swallowing them, he grabs them and performs a wrestling - like manuever ( based on whatever direction and button you press ) to defeat them. And if you land on top of another enemy while doing this move, it defeats them as well. It really is something! If you know the Throw move from the same game, its really similar. But instead of throwing them into other enemies, you'd have to land on them like I mentioned.

The UFO ability was cool to use too. The only thing with that one was you weren't able to finish the level with it. You automatically lost it after the level was completed.

Sword baby. I don't know why, but I've always liked to use swords in video games in general. Yes, sword Kirby can be a bit dull in some games, but in Super Star you can do a lot with sword :3.

I also liked the ability where Kirby uses feathers to attack and has wings to fly with. idk why, it just made flying around a lot cooler :3. UFO is also pretty cool since you have the lasers and stuff and can move anywhere at will and stay there without having to constantly press jump. Shame that you can't go up ladders or finish the level with it though :c.

ZeeTee : BOOOOOOOOORING!!!!!!!! YOU CAN DO A LOT IN SUPER STAR WITH ANY ABILITY. LASER HAS A BUNCH OF EXTRA STUFF, SO DOES CUTTER AND UMBRELLA AND FIRE AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

I probably like Mirror the most because it's so unique and cool looking. Also it gives you a bubble shield. I also really like the Kirby 64 combined abilities. I really hope they bring combining back, because transforming into a freezer and shooting out ice cream was awesome.

I'm going to have to agree with ZT on this one and go with anything that involves a sword. I haven't played many of the newer titles, so my options are probably a little more limited than most people posting here.

For just about any game in the franchise, the basic Sword Kirby (the one where he looks like he has a hat like Link from the Legend of Zelda games) is what I tend to stick with most of the time it's available. I like the fact he can attack quickly with it while it not hindering or changing his ability to maneuver at all. Plus like ZT said, I've always been a big fan of using swords in video games in general

I know in the N64 game (I think it's called Kirby and the Crystal Shards?) you could combine two different elements or abilities, which allowed you to use a fire or lightning sword. Each one has it's own strengths and weaknesses, but they were really cool to use. The fire one was bigger and did more damage, but it was much slower. The lightning one was a little smaller, but you could swing it much faster. You could actually throw the fire one, and it would travel in a perfectly horizontal line for a ranged attack too, as well as the fact it would pierce enemies and keep going, and then you could just spawn another blade. The lightning one could also be thrown, and it would create a decent sized ball of electricity on impact, possibly hitting more than one enemy if I remember correctly. Not only do I love swords, but especially swords with cool abilities added on to them XD

   Probably the UFO. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it's overpowered, but this ability is a beast. Not only that it shoots out rays like the beam ability, but it has the ability to fly wherever you want, and it has the ability to shoot out charged attacks. However, the only downside is that the enemy to get that ability is really rare, you can't climb down ladders (really :/), and it's really valuable. I could also go with the hammer, as it Kirby gets to use a hammer that is like that sword ability, but with massive power. Especially the charged attack as well.
