Kirby Amiibo

Kirby has been Smash's continuous Kirby-line representative since the original Smash (1999), and his character beat is that he retains his source-material copy-ability mechanic: Kirby's neutral-special is Inhale, which swallows opponents and grants Kirby their neutral-special as a temporary copy-ability. Sakurai is Kirby's creator and the Smash director, which means Kirby has gotten consistent character-attention across every Smash entry. The amiibo released November 21, 2014 alongside Smash 4's launch wave.

In Smash Ultimate his FP trains with the Inhale-and-copy-ability mechanic plus his floaty multi-jump aerial-combat options. The copy-ability system requires specific learning across multiple opponents. Most other Smash AI fighters have one moveset; Kirby has dozens.

He pairs with Meta Knight Smash, King Dedede Smash, the Kirby Series figures, the Air Riders cluster, and the broader Smash Ultimate roster. The figure stands ready to swallow your other amiibos.
