Kirby is the titular pink puff and main protagonist of Nintendo's Kirby series of video games. He made his debut appearance in 1992, starring in Kirby's Dream Land. The series has been running for over two decades, and over thirty titles have been released under Kirby's name, most of which are developed by HAL Laboratory, Inc. or published by HAL for co-developing studios.
Kirby has been featured in his own anime series, many manga publications in several countries, comics in numerous countries, and even an educational video co-starring Mario. The Kirby series is frequently merchandised by Nintendo, although most of its products are only released in Japan.
Kirby lives in his dome-shaped home in Dream Land, a country on his home planet Planet Popstar. His adventures take him throughout Dream Land and occasionally into local star systems for various reasons, and he has saved his homeland, and even the universe, many times.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Physiology: Kirby has a soft, flexible body. This allows him to be flattened or stretched, always returning to his original shape. He can inflate himself, making himself more buoyant, and he can flap his arms to hover. In most games, he can do this indefinitely. He's naturally a bit bounceable, exponentially so as a ball. His body is also pretty light, being able to get dragged by butterflies and birds flying at him on a breeze.Series creator Sakurai officially stated during an interview that Kirby has no bones, making him an invertebrate.
Kirby's Star Spit briefly turning back a dimensional wall
Inhale: Inhale is Kirby's signature technique. By taking a deep breath Kirby is able to suck objects into his mouth like a vacuum, which stretches to fit large objects. Kirby can then swallow the object or enemy that is in his mouth to absorb it, or spit it out as a star to attack. Inhale is a great defense as well as an attack. Inhaling seems to have no effect on excessively large or heavy objects, such as a boss, though Kirby has displayed being able to inhale some of them after defeating them, so this could be chalked up as a resistance. Another inconsistent part about inhale is the ability to inhale underwater, Kirby in most games cannot inhale underwater and must use his technique, the water gun. It could potentially be attributed to Game Mechanics that Kirby can't inhale underwater or seen as him not wanting to.
Super Inhale: In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror and Kirby: Squeak Squad, after Kirby inhales for a while, his inhale becomes a Super Inhale. The Super Inhale has slightly more range and strength, allowing him to inhale Large Enemies, Large Star Blocks, and Heave Ho Blocks.
Hover: Kirby sucks in air to puff up, he can then waves his arms around to float into the air, allowing him to fly indefinitely. He can float on water while puffed up. Releasing the accumulated air he sucks in allows him to use the air gun technique.
Air Gun: The Air Gun is a technique used by Kirby. First Kirby flies, inflating themself, and then exhale, puffing out a ball of air that will damage most regular enemies and some large enemies. It can also be used to destroy Star Blocks and in Kirby's Adventure, has shown to destroy Ability Stars.
Headbutt Attack: In most games, Kirby's jump off the ground can be used as a headbutt attack. Its effects differ between games: Primarily, the attack allows Kirby to destroy Star Blocks by hitting them from underneath. In certain games, however, Kirby is able to damage enemies with it as well. Foes with a lot of health in Kirby Super Star/Kirby Super Star Ultra often require a few headbutts to defeat. Enemies in Kirby's Dream Land 3 are defeated with one headbutt and enemies in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards are defeated with two. Kirby deals the most damage when he has just left the ground and is most vulnerable at the peak of his jump.
Water Gun: The Water Gun is used by the Kirby underwater; if Kirby is using a Copy Ability that cannot be used underwater, he will perform the Water Gun move instead. The move is a short-range blast of water that may be aimed in one of four directions; up, down, left or right. Depending on the game, the move will either be a one-shot blast or will be an indefinite stream of water/bubbles.
Star Spit: The Star Spit is an ability used by Kirby that turns an enemy or object into a star. To star spit, Kirby must inhale an enemy, then press the attack button to spit them out as a star-like projectile. If Kirby inhales two enemies, it becomes more powerful. In most games, Kirby is capable of inhaling more enemies, resulting in a more powerful shot. In Kirby: Squeak Squad, if Kirby inhales three or more enemies, it becomes even more powerful. If Kirby inhales enough enemies in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, the star he spits becomes twice as large as him. In Kirby's Blowout Blast, when Kirby inhales enough enemies, the star he spits becomes a powerful shot called a Blaster Bullet.
Blaster Bullet: The most powerful form of the star spit technique, requiring Kirby to inhale a huge group of enemies.

Kirby's duplicates using diverse Copy Abilities
Half transformed Kirby using the full Copy Ability
Copy Ability: Copy Abilities are powers that Kir can gain in various ways, the most known way is Kirby using his inhale technique and swallowing the enemy, gaining their techniques. Something interesting to note with copy abilities are that an enemy that Kirby swallows won't necessarily give him all the attacks that an enemy can perform in gameplay. For instance, Bonkers, can throw explosive coconuts, but the ability he grants, Hammer, doesn't allow Kirby to throw coconuts implying that when Kirby swallows the enemy he gains their best skill and not all of their skills. Conversely, sometimes Kirby can do moves that the enemy cannot, showing the abilities he mimics are performed better by him then the enemy. It should also be noted that Kirby gaining copy abilities through inhaling will cause him to lose them if he takes enough damage. The other way Kirby can gain copy abilities is through Copy Essence Deluxe where Kirby can naturally gain copy abilities without inhaling an opponent, he can also keep the abiliites permenantly this way, no matter how much damage he takes.

A Warp Star approaching Kirby for travel purposes
A Warp Star approaching Kirby so he can chase a foe
The Star Allies Sparkler catching up the Star Allies, helping them in combat

Gooey: Can summon his friend, Gooey, to assist him in his adventures or battles.
Cell Phone: In Kirby and the Amazing Mirror Kirby can use his cell phone to call the other 3 Kirbys which will heal some health in contact with Kirby and will assist him in the tasks he's doing.
Creation: Kirby can sacrifice his copied ability to summon a "Helper", which is the being he may have used to gain his copied ability, now assisting Kirby in his adventures or battles.
Power Absorption: Shown in Kirby's Dream Course and Kirby Canvas Curse. Kirby throws himself at the enemy and will steal his abilities when touching him.
Power Transferral: Also shown in Kirby's Dream Course, he can exchange abilitiy with another enemy.
Heroic Heart: The heroic heart is the name of the star that popped out of Kirby when he was split into ten by Necrodeus' scepter during the events of Kirby Mass Attack. As the heroic heart's name suggests, it is Kirby's own heart. The heart is seen communicating its thoughts with the remaining Kirby after his first encounter with Necrodeus - it is likely that Kirby has to make conscious effort to follow its direction simply because he has been separated from it. Despite being called a heart, the Heroic Heart is very clearly Kirby's spirit, it's not a physical, tangible object and can move wherever and go through walls.
Telekinesis: With his Heroic Heart, he can telekinetically move his body around.
The reflected attack more notably homing into the attacker
Resurrection of others: During Mass Attack Kirby was divided into 10 Kirbys, with each of them having only a fraction of his power. If one of those Kirbys were to die, he would fly upwards as a soul which can be caught by another Kirby to revive him, making the previously dead Kirby have a body again (although still damaged). Whether or not Kirby can do this to other beings is unclear. At the same time, at the beginning of the previously said game, 9 of those Kirbys were erased by Necrodeus, and Kirby was still able to revive them despite not being present as souls. Instead, eating enough food somehow brought them back.
Ghost Kirby absorbing energy from a target to recreate his body
Ghost Kirby possessing & erasing Uja, a large number of insects
Ghost Kirby: Unlike the copy ability, when defeated, Kirby transforms into a Ghost Kirby, although instead of only being a light blue, each Ghost Kirby retains its normal colors. Ghost Kirby can attack non-ghosts to deal slight damage and, more importantly, return back to life with some health restored; getting defeated after being revived results in a progressively longer period before the Kirby transforms into a ghost. Ghost also has a few more techniques to attack with, in addition to vanishing.
Attack: Kirby slaps with one of his hands. If charged, he will slap twice with one of his hands.
Tackle: Kirby dashes forward while performing a headbutt.
Vanish: Kirby vanishes, becoming invisible and being unaffected by attacks and hazards.
Possession: Kirby can control the possessed enemy. Pressing X causes Kirby to destroy the possessed enemy and allows him to act freely again.
Absorption: Kirby puts the possessed target(s), and anyone they are holding, under his cloak, absorbing them. Kirby can absorb life energy from other targets to regenerate back a physical form.
Slide: Slide is one of the most basic moves in the Kirby series. It does little damage, but can defeat some weaker enemies in one hit. In essence, if Kirby has no power available and needs to deal fast damage to a foe, the slide attack is better than nothing.
Guard: Guarding is Kirby's only defensive action without a copy ability. Kirby assumes a defensive posture until the button is released. While guarding, Kirby takes no damage from weak attacks and minimal damage from stronger attacks, in addition to retaining his ability and not getting knocked off the ground. Enemies that come in contact with a guarding Kirby also take minimal damage.
Space Jump: Kirby can transform into a star and warp to one's location. Normally helpers do this to keep up with Kirby.
Sharing: Kirby and another can share food with each other to restore health in a motion that resembles kissing. This is done by one character touching a recovery item, and touching the other within the next few seconds.
Dodge: Acrobatically twirls to one side or in place to dodge attacks.
Air Dodge: Twirls to dodge attacks in the air.
Team Attack: A technique Kirby can access to with a Star Ally. In Return to Dream Land when piggybacking an ally, they can briefly charge energy to use a special attack, the more allies charging energy the more powerful the attack will be. The form of the attack depends on the ally below, which is shooting it. Kirby launches a giant compilation of air forward that can pass through enemies, its size depends on the number of allies charging energy. Kirby & all other allies in-game (Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Bandana Dee) can use their Team Attack to push back and warp the waves of space that were consuming interstellar parts of Another Dimension.
Team Attack (Return to Dream Land)
Friend Heart: A Friend Heart allows Kirby to make friends, and serves as one of the main mechanics of Kirby Star Allies. Before Kirby learns of his new ability, Hyness performs a ritual to resurrect Void Termina who is sealed in the Jamba Heart, but fails to perform it correctly, causing it and the Heart Spears containing it to shatter, sending their shards across the galaxy. A pink heart shard, which was dispersed by the Heart Spears, lands on Kirby and grants him his new power, which was unbeknownst to him at the time. Kirby discovers it in the first stage of the game, Green Gardens, as part of an interactive cutscene that explains the use of Friend Hearts; in this cutscene, Kirby turns an enemy Poppy Bros. Jr. into a friend by tossing a Friend Heart at him. From then on, Kirby always has access to Friend Hearts, and can use one by pressing the X button. Kirby throws a heart by releasing the button, but can aim the throw before releasing the button, similarly to the aiming system of the Bomb ability; additionally, if Kirby is close enough, he will throw a heart directly at the enemy without needing to aim. If a heart touches an enemy that can be befriended (indicated by a small heart symbol above the enemy when Kirby is holding a Friend Heart), that enemy will become a friend, of which Kirby can have a maximum of three at any time. If Kirby uses a Friend Heart to create a friend despite already having three friends in tow, one of the three friends can be replaced with the new friend, or the action can be cancelled altogether, resulting in the enemy transforming into an ability item. Kirby can also throw Friend Hearts at Copy Essences, Ability Stars, and ability items to turn them into friends. If a friend throws a Friend Heart at another enemy, they transform into whatever enemy they threw the Friend Heart at. When an enemy is befriended, that enemy will wear their ability hat.

Bluster Staff: Upon being empowered with the wind of wing or cleaning, Kirby's staff gains air properties. Kirby follows up with an extra overhead slam for Raging Staff. Kirby falls slower when Pole Vaulting. For Unrelenting Staff, each jab creates a whirlwind, and the final attack is an overhead slam rather than another jab. Kirby covers more distance with a (Super) Long Jab. Spinning Staff has the staff rising quicker, and it only stops upon collision with a ceiling or gets out of eyesight.

A fiery explosion occurs that sets off a blaze in the immediate area every time Kirby slams his sword into the ground during a Down Thrust. When Kirby slams into the ground during a Sword Dive, he leaps forward and slams his sword into the ground again, sending a wave of fire forward. Spin Slash has Kirby create a fire cyclone that sets off ablaze on the floor.
Sizzle Whip: Upon being empowered by fire, Kirby's whip gains flame properties. The whip is red and releases a flame at the end of every strike. Any surface impacted during a 100 Whip Slap bursts into flames, and the attack also creates a smoky blaze in the air. 100 Whip Dash creates a jet of flames. With Whip Tornado, Kirby spins a trail of fire around himself, and at the apex of the jump, surrounds himself with an elliptical burst of flame.

Kirby leaves a small flame wherever he lands while Pole Vaulting. Kirby's rapid jabs of Unrelenting Staff builds up a small flame while the final hit creates a large explosion. Super Long Jab also creates a fiery explosion. The staff shoots fireballs around Kirby from above when it disappears during a Spinning Staff.

Kirby's strongest items. For the most part, they're received only at the end of the game, to fight the boss, and are usually mandatory. They are solely used at that point. Note that Super Abilities are Final Weapons (especially Ultra Sword), but there are enough of them that they can get their own section.
Kirby's final weapon in Planet Robobot used to take out Star Dream. Kirby uses the Robobot Armor to take over the Halberd. He has access to the Combo Cannon, Capture Inhale, the Sail Wing, and the Planet Buster. The Combo Cannon fires locked-on shots. Capture Inhale absorbs debris to power up the Halberd for the Planet Buster. The Sail Wing allows Kirby to do a barrel roll from the Starfox series, deflecting attacks. The strongest move of his is the Planet Buster, which despite the name, is much more powerful than a mere planet busting attack. Kirby fires a cluster of powerful stars that do more damage depending on how much was Capture Inhaled.
Kirby's sorta Final Weapon in Triple Deluxe used to take out Queen Sectonia. Kirby eats a Miracle Fruit, which gives him this ability. Kirby's inhale is increased dramatically, allowing him to swallow anything (it distorts things that are much bigger than him to fit in). Kirby can reflect attacks without the star transformation, and those swallowed by it don't get put into his stomach dimension.
Kirby's "Final Weapon" in Return to Dream Land, used to take out the Lor Starcutter under Magolor's control. and his friends ride on Landia the dragon when it's split into four. He can fire charged up fire bolts and can dash forward and back invincibly.
Kirby's Final Weapon in Dream Land 3 and Star Stacker to take out Dark Matter, 0, and Gryll (though the latter one has no stakes). Kirby turns all of the Heart Stars into a rod with a heart on top. The rod can fire a powerful energy shot shaped like a heart.
Kirby's Final Weapon in Amazing Mirror that is used to take out Dark Mind and is one of the only optional ones. Kirby wields Meta Knight's Galaxia (called the Master Sword back then) sword. Kirby has all the normal sword attacks (though buffed up considerably), but his Sword Beam is stronger, wider, and doesn't force him to be at full health, and his Drill Rush is absurdly stronger, does fire damage, and can be used in midair.
Kirby's Final Weapon in Dream Land 2, used to take out Dark Matter the first time. It is formed by fusing all of the Rainbow Drops. The sword works as a normal powerful sword, but it's best used for reflecting projectiles for major damage. It can also create rainbows, hence its name.
Kirby's Final Weapon in The Crystal Shards, used to take out Zero-Two. It's technically a Mix ability of Ribbon and Crystal. It's is the combination of all of the Crytal Shards into the original Crystal being used as a weapon, and Kirby is being carried and flown by his love interest Ribbon. The two of them fire crystal shots.
Kirby's Final Weapon in Star Allies, used to take out Void Termina. Kirby combines a Friend Star with the four Heart Spears to create it. The Star Allies Sparkler fires projectiles from the tip, fly around quickly and efficiently and spin counterclockwise to avoid all damage on a relative scale (Sparkler Turn). Kirby takes the lead in the center of the Sparkler while his friends ride in the tail. Still, the leader can be rotated to imbue the shots with a different element depending on the leader (the technique is called Rider Switch). The Sparkler can fire different homing projectiles with varying power depending on charge time. An uncharged shot is called the Sparkler Comet, and it fires a star shaped projectile. A charged shot is called the Sparkler Starshot, and it fires a projectile shaped like two intertwining stars. The strongest attack is called Team Star Allies!, which, if everyone who's riding charges together and releases at the same time, fires a giant laser at the opponent.
Kirby's most iconic Final Weapon. The Star Rod is the source of all of Dream Land's good dreams and is now a weapon for Kirby. It's used in Kirby's Adventure and its Remake Nightmare in Dream Land. It is used to take out Nightmare. Kirby can fire powerful, evil-killing star shots and spin around midair with the rod extended.
Kirby's Final Weapon in Super Star. It is used to take out Nova on the way to Marx, as well as Kabula. It is formed either through the Dream Fountains or the Sparkling Stars. It is a flying Roman Chariot that fires stars in front of it, and "barriers" diagonally.
Kirby's Final Weapon in Squeak Squad, and the only other optional one used to take out Dark Nebula. It is received from Daroach after he drops it after his possession. Kirby is protected by three orbiting stars, and fires a powerful star shot similar to the Star Rod, but faster. The shot can be aimed and guided after it's fired.
Key:Pre-Super Star | Post-Superstar | Post-Star Allies
Note: The first official 3-A feat for Kirby comes in Canvas Curse and with Powerscaling the first enemy that can be scaled to it is Marx Soul from some unknown time after Super Star, with Kirby showing to get stronger and him struggling against lesser feats in games prior to Super Star, he has keys to separate prior to Super Star. His first official Low 2-B feat doesn't happen until Star Allies thus giving him a Post-Star Allies key.
Note 2: While it is stated that Kirby has infinite power, many wrongly assume this means that he is High 3-A or higher in attack potency. His infinite power statement is in conjunction to the fact that he doesn't have a limit which allows him to grow endlessly in strength without ever hitting a cap. This can be seen by the developers statement where he notes Kirby's infinite power removed the limits on the Robobot.
Note 3: While Kirby's gender is canonically ambiguous, due to the American works constantly treating Kirby as male the profile refers to Kirby by male pronouns to prevent confusion.
