Trophies[]

Classic[]

First you draw a circle, then you dot the eyes...add a great big smile, and presto! You have one of the cutest characters in video game history. Kirby might look like a pink marshmallow, but he's very versatile - so much, in fact, that he can copy your abilities by inhaling you! You have to admit, he does pull off looks quite well.

All-Star[]

Kirby's Hammer Flip is pretty powerful if you just mash a bunch of buttons, but it gets even stronger when you hold the special button! Charging for too long will hurt you...so be careful! It'll keep adding damage until you reach 100%, so you're safest when using the move at very high percents.

Challenge[]

Final Cutter is a great tool for combat, but in recovery, it might not help to be sent plummeting straight down so quick. The Upper Cutter custom is great for recovery purposes only. Oh, and we can't forget to talk about the Inhale! Kirby's Copy Ability moves are actually more powerful than the original versions - what a copy master!

Battle Spire[]

Eating a Miracle Fruit will quite literally cause a miracle! Kirby's colors burst off him to form the ever powerful Hypernova Kirby. Chase down your foes and press the attack button to start a huge inhale attack. Players that get swallowed in this form will remain inside Kirby until the transformation ends, racking up heavy damage.

Pallete Swaps[]
