Summary
Kirby is the titular pink puff and main protagonist of the Kirby series of video games named after him. The series has been running for over two decades, and nearly 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, 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 many times.

Weaknesses: Kirby is naive outside of combat, and despite his age, he's still a young boy and has a habit of getting fooled into completing the enemy's plan.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
No Copy Abilities
- Inhale: Kirby begins sucking in air to quickly suck in small obstacles and most enemies his size. He can then choose to spit them out as Star Bullets or swallow them completely, allowing Kirby to copy their powers. He can also suck in air and wave his arms around to puff up and float into the air, allowing him to imitate flight or to increase his buoyancy, and spit out the air as an air puff attack.

- 1 of his Animal Friends.
- Dyna Blade for a singular attack.
- An army of Gators.

- Telekinesis: Kirby displayed this ability at the end of Team Kirby Clash Deluxe. Kirby can use telekinesis to lift things into the air, or to destroy things.

- Ghost Kirby: Kirby's ultimate resource. Once dead he can transform into Ghost Kirby, a pink and different version of his Copy Ability with the same name, in this form Kirby is intangible, immune to death manipulation, can teleport short distances, has immortality type 7 and can absorb some live of an opponent in contact to resurrect with little health. Kirby can access this form an unlimited amount of times when dying.

Pill Bopper: Kirby charges a bit, and throws out bouncing pills in all directions.

Vanish/Reappear: Kirby vanishes into thin air as long as he wants. He can reappear near an enemy, doing damage with psychic waves that are released from his emergence.
PK Evade: When the enemy is about to attack, Kirby quickly disappears, and a bubble of psychic energy takes his place, doing damage. This attack functions as a type of precognition.
PK Insight: Just as the enemy is about to hit Kirby, Kirby quickly disappears, replacing himself with a larger, more powerful bubble of psychic energy, doing damage. This also functions as a type of precognition.
Vulcan Jab: Kirby releases a flurry of weak consecutive jabs, with each punch releasing a shockwave. Kirby can add upper-kicks and falling chops into the mix, and/or let the move go on indefinitely.
Smash Punch: Kirby throws a powerful overhead punch, releasing a wave of energy from his fist.
Force Blast: Kirby puts his hands behind him like he was preparing for a Kamehameha. He releases a ball of energy that travels forward, and it gets stronger and larger depending on how long it's charged, and has three forms: Force Blast, Mega Force Blast, and Giga Force Blast. The Giga Force Blast does fire damage. Kirby can instantly perform the Mega Force Blast without charging, but it requires skill (in game, it requires the input for a Hadouken in Street Fighter). This version is called the Instant Mega Force Blast.
Leg Sweep: Kirby slides across the ground with his foot extended, doing more damage than his normal slide kick, but still rather weak, however fast. Kirby is invulnerable during the execution of the move.

Juudou Throw: Kirby takes his grabbed enemy and throws them behind him.
Aerial Spin Kick: Kirby performs a whirlwind kick forward a small distance. In midair, he performs it stationary.
Energy Blast:Kirby shoots an energy blast that requires less time to charge as his health depletes. The lower Kirby's health, the more powerful the blast.

Fire Breath: Kirby blows fire breath from his mouth that can be tilted.
Spinning Fire Breath: Kirby spins in midair, blowing fire from his mouth.
Flaming Inferno: Kirby combusts himself into a living fireball, doing massive damage to all who come in contact with him.
Burn: Kirby cloaks himself in flames and dashes forward. This is slightly stronger in the air. Kirby can also choose to drop flames during this attack's dash phase, leaving a burning hazard for foes.
Searing Burn: Kirby stops his Burn attack short to create an explosion with that leftover energy.
Fireball Spin: Kirby spins like a wheel in midair before self-combusting. If the move is still in progress when he hits the ground, he rolls forward a bit, and can even go up walls.
Blazing Flare: Kirby spits a small flame to create a roadblock. Kirby can make the flame bigger and bigger if he desires.
Note: There are two versions of this move. One is a natural copy ability, the other Kirby takes if he dies. The former can only possess and erase, while the latter can theoretically do all. For obvious reasons, the latter is also immortal.

Mix Abilities (Squeak Squad)
In Kirby Squeak Squad, there were separate mix abilities that were formed in the Copy Palette. All of these require Ability Scrolls

- Thunder Bomb: Kirby does the normal bomb attacks, but does electric damage.

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 (mostly Ultra Sword), but there are definitely enough for it to not be put in here.
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 is much more powerful than a Planet Buster. 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. They're instantly deleted.
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, used to take out Dark Mind, and 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 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. In the anime, it can be formed through inhaling the War Star.
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 basically 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.
Anime Exclusive Abilities
Copy Abilities exclusive to the anime. All except for the last one were designed by fans, as they won a "Create Your Own Copy Ability" contest (Water used to be one as well, but eventually became a game ability in RtDL).
Kirby receives this ability from absorbing an Air Rider. Kirby zaps an enemy with a beam that forces them to do the same actions as the baton Kirby is wielding. If sent high enough, the possessed enemy explodes from the inside out.
Kirby receives this ability from absorbing an Air Rider. Kirby can transform into a giant metal version of himself that rolls into enemies to defeat them (basically Giant Stone ability mixed with Metal)
Kirby receives this ability from absorbing an Air Rider. Kirby can throw tops that slice up everything they ride on and explode.
The only one not received in the final episode (but at the same time, was). Kirby creates the illusion that he is a live-action human kabuki warrior. He wields a rod and can fire laser beams from his forehead.
