    What I like about the Mike ability is the fact that Kirby's not trying to attack with it. He's just so tone deaf that when he tries to sing he does massive damage. LOL

    Regarding the Copy ability from *Kirby Super Star:* It was also useful in the *Milky Way Wishes* portion of that game, as your own copy ability is nerfed in that game, requiring you unlock them in order to use them. The copy allowed you to use abilities you hadn't unlocked yet.

    • @SilverFoxR
      @SilverFoxR Před rokem +38

      @@Magic_Ice Unless you play in multiplayer, because the helper version of Copy is a legitimate monster. TAC (the helper) can all but one-shot any enemy he cannot copy and the hand (which has surprising range) is pretty powerful even on bosses. Even more broken, however, is that, when TAC transforms with Copy, he gains full health in that form. Furthermore, if that form is damaged, he can drop it like Kirby can and have whatever health he had before. For all intents and purposes, a good TAC player can be immortal, cleverly switching between powers to protect himself.
      And, if that wasn't all, TAC is the first character in the series to have the "hide and take no damage" guard ability, meaning he can "block" with the shoulder buttons and be completely immune to damage.
      If you're playing multiplayer with a friend, you give them this ability, hands-down. It was even upgraded in Superstar Deluxe for the DS, making it pretty potent if you play solely as a helper and not Kirby himself.

    • @toast_busters
      @toast_busters Před rokem +4

      There's obvious ways to separate them again, they just probably haven't thought of it yet. One thought I had is to make Burning be the one that gives you more control over your trajectory while you dash and then also adding an ability to charge it up and become a more powerful fireball. Fire could still keep some elements, like the aerial dash, but it would be much weaker. They could do something similar with Freeze and Ice -- Make the dash attack for ice into the spinning ice breath from 64, and then give Freeze some ability to expand its AOE and maybe some gimmick moves where Kirby turns into a snowman or you can create a blizzard above your head. Stuff like that

    Here's my top 5 personally:
    5. Hammer, almost got a bit bored of this before Forgotten Land where the hits feel so impactful and reminded me why I like this ability so much.
    4. Spear, For so many years I loved Spear. It's fast,l ong and turns me into a helicopter. All I felt like this ability was missing was some kind of dash attack. Then Bandana Dee got Ground Thrust in Star Allies and everything was right with the world again.
    3. Yo-yo, this ability just feels so smooth and cool to use. Plus the backwards cap is always a plus.
    2. Fighter, I get to be Ryu from Streets and use a command input. This is always a reliable ability to thrash anyone around in.
    1. Sword. This is like picking Charizard as your favourite Pokemon. "Wow you must really like stale bread too huh?" But I can't help it. It's moveset is so full and fluid. All of it's moves feel like they connect into each other. And who doesn't love a good duel with the coolest knight around.

    3:53 it was also meant for Milky Way wishes. You could get it on its own isolated planet without visiting the others and it allows you to basically have the copy ability before you start getting the permanent ones.

    Beam is so solid and iconic that I think it's more iconic than sword and also more fun (unless you're fighting Meta Knight, of course. Give the man an honourable duel!)

    I always felt whip didn't get the love it deserved; felt more like a timing-based ability to me. I love all the angles you can attack from along with the rapid-hitting whip, but it is kinda weak in terms of damage.

  • @Equ3strianGam3r
    @Equ3strianGam3r Před rokem +6

    I had no idea that you could swallow those little balls that those bosses shoot and get the Paint ability. That's a Kirby ability I'd never even seen before. I learned something today.

    Man, I loved this list, but I would have put fire and sword higher because of the upgrades of Forgotten Land - moving around with dragon fire is sooooo satisfying, I spent most of my game with it. And the final sword upgrade is really OP!

  • @TrueLimeyhoney

    Copy is also useful for something in Super Star: Copy a Scarfy to get Crash!
    This is a cool thing unique to Copy that’s not very well known. You can’t inhale a Scarfie so people generally assume you can’t get a copy ability from them.

    I had an idea for a replacement for Sleep if it ever got its Battle Royale moveset back in a mainline called Lazy. Kirby would don a pair of underwear and sit down doing nothing until getting back up. An upgraded version giving him a couch and a bag of chips to heal himself with.

    I completely agree with beam and mirror. Both are a blast to use, with mirror sliding around splitting and obliterating everything in sight, and beam's midair volley, you can't help gush whenever you run into them, knowing the impending destruction.

    It's funny how the game with the most Kirby copy abilities isn't even a Kirby game, but rather Smash Bros Ultimate. Though I suppose when you think about it, at its heart, the entire Smash Bros series is just a fighting adaptation of the classic 2D Kirby formula.

    62: I think Paint is at least notable for being one of the few screennukes where a boss can troll you with it. Marx can grant you Paint but when it's used on him, it does an obscenely miniscule amount of damage.
    46: Admittedly Forgotten Lands is my first proper Kirby game, but Drill threw me for such a loop when I first ran into it. Luckily, the stage it's in does a decent job giving you a tutorial for it but still, was very awkward for a moment.

    As a younger brother, Copy ranks way higher for me. Because it sucks for Kirby, but the thief side character is super strong, plus as you mentioned having control over your own powers. Copy is the hero of anyone that was often relegated to second player.
