All copy abilities in Kirby and the Forgotten Land

No Kirby game would be complete without copy abilities. These abilities are “copied” from enemies that Kirby swallows — for example, swallowing a Sword enemy will turn Kirby into Sword Kirby, allowing Kirby to hack and slash through enemies and obstacles with ease. There are plenty of copy abilities to suit all sorts of playstyles, so here is a list of all of the copy abilities in Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

Below is a list of copy abilities, sorted in order of appearance:

• Sword: Grants Kirby a sword to swing around. Kirby can combo sword slashes repeatedly before ending with a heavy hit.
• Bomb: Kirby becomes able to roll bombs like bowling bowls. These explode on contact with an enemy, but will sit around for a while if the bomb doesn’t collide with something. Bombs can roll down hills and slopes as well. This ability upgrades into the Chain Bomb, which allows you to set multiple bombs and “chain” their explosions together.
• Cutter: Kirby can sling a bladed boomerang in front of them. These boomerangs will always return to Kirby, and can collect items along it’s path. This upgrades into the Chakram Cutter, which increases damage and range, also granting Kirby a second cutter to throw.
• Fire: Kirby can spew fire forth from their mouth and initiate a meteor dash by jumping (but not floating) and pressing the B button. This upgrades into the Inferno Fire, which increases range and damage.
• Ice: Kirby is able to spew frost forth from their mouth. Their movement speed is also increased, as they can skate around on magically appearing ice.
• Needle: Kirby can shoot needles around their body and roll around like a katamari. Enemies that touch Kirby during this period become impaled, or if they cannot be impaled, take significant damage. Kirby can jump and press B to do a spin-dash, dealing repeated damage for a short period of time. This ability evolves into the Clutter Needle, which increases the radius of Kirby’s needles for a brief amount of time.
• Ranger: They gave Kirby a gun. Kirby can take pot-shot at enemies from a distance — charging the shot allows Kirby to aim and fire a bigger blast. This upgrades into the Noble Ranger, which not only doubles your fired shots, but also allows you to rapid fire your pistols into an enemy for high damage.
• Sleep: Kirby can idle briefly, taking a short nap. This nap heals Kirby, but removes the ability.
• Hammer: Kirby can charge their hammer for a few seconds, dealing increasing amounts of damage. Kirby can also slam the hammer down with a jump attack, dealing small AoE damage.
• Drill: Kirby can drill under the earth and move around, dealing damage when they pop up. They can also collect items from underground.
• Tornado: Kirby can summon a whirlwind around them, granting increased movement speed and dealing constant damage.

This list is incomplete — we will add copy abilities as we discover them.
