'''Mix''' is the term used to describe the state where [[Kirby]] gets a random [[Copy Ability]] by swallowing enemies with two or more abilities at once. It was first introduced in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. When a Mix begins, the game pauses while a roulette decides what ability Kirby will get. While seemingly random, this roulette always occurs in the same order in most games, so it can be carefully timed to gain the desired ability. If no action is made, the roulette will stop on its own after a while.

The Mix debuted alongside the [[Copy Ability]] system itself. When two or more enemies that provide abilities are swallowed simultaneously, even if both provide the same ability, a roulette will start to determine which ability Kirby will receive. The player can stop the roulette by pressing a button, but if the roulette is allowed to stop itself, the resulting Ability of the Mix will depend on the first enemy swallowed. For example, a Mix with [[Sparky]] as the first enemy will always result in the [[Hammer]] ability. In the ''3D Classics'' version, the last enemy determines the Mix instead.

During the roulette, certain icons only appear for one frame and cannot be stopped on. These include the non-Ability icons "Normal", "[[Cannon]]", "Mix", and "[[Warp Star]]". "Cannon" is notable because it is unused in the rest of the game. Presumably it was planned to have this icon appear whenever Kirby hopped into a Fuse Cannon, as the icon is used in the European versions of the games under those circumstances<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Kirby%27s_Adventure#Other The Cutting Room Floor - ''Kirby's Adventure'']</ref>, as well as in the ''3D Classics'' version. The first proper use of such an icon in all versions of an actual ''Kirby'' game is in ''Kirby Super Star''.

Abilities with an asterisk are only provided by a [[Mid-boss]], and cannot be obtained through normal gameplay.

[[File:KDC Kracko Course Hole 1 screenshot 03.png|thumb|150px|A [[Transformer]] on the board in ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'']]
Because Copy Abilities are obtained by defeating enemies rather than swallowing them, Mix cannot be obtained on its own in ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]''. Instead, there is a unique enemy called [[Transformer]] which yields the Mix ability when defeated, and can only be found in two-player mode. Transformer is the only example of a singular enemy in the ''Kirby'' series who provides Mix. The roulette will not stop on its own in this game, and instead must be stopped manually. As expected, it provides a selection of any Copy Ability in the game, but can also potentially provide no ability, or simply get rid of the existing ability the player had.

In ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]'', picking up the [[Changer]] item will start a roulette similar to Mix. It cycles through Spark, Burning, Needle, and Stone, in that order, at a fairly leisurely pace.

In ''Kirby Super Star'' and its remake, Mix functions similarly to how it did in ''Kirby's Adventure'', as which two enemies are inhaled influences where on the roulette the Mix starts on. Exclusive to this game are two non-Ability icons in the roulette: "Super" and "Ouch!". Landing on them will give the [[Invincible Candy|Invincible]] effect or [[damage]], respectively. [[Paint]] is the only Copy Ability not present in the roulette. In the original ''Kirby Super Star'', Mix has priority over Ability Stars, unlike most other games; this change is reverted for ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''.

In [[Milky Way Wishes]], activating a Mix is the only way to obtain a Copy Ability without collecting the [[Copy Essence Deluxe|Copy Essences Deluxe]]. This can only be done with certain enemies, like [[Noddy]].

In addition to the regular Mix, Copy Ability bubbles and other bubbles can be mixed together in the Copy Palette for various results. Mixing with the Copy Palette works differently to an ordinary Mix. For more details on how it works, check the Copy Palette page.

In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', the Mix roulette is always random, regardless of the ability-providing enemies that are inhaled. However, once all 23 abilities are generated in the Mix order, this order will continuously loop until slowing down and eventually landing on the tenth ability in the generated order. At least three enemies with abilities need to be swallowed in order to trigger the Mix, a trait unique to this game. A [[Super Ability]] will always take priority over a Mix.<ref>[https://kb.speeddemosarchive.com/Kirby%27s_Return_to_Dream_Land/Mechanics#Mixing_Mechanics ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' Mixing Mechanics]</ref>

''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' is the first and only game to have a completely random Mix order.
In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', in addition to swallowing three or more enemies that provide abilities, the Mix can also be triggered by swallowing two enemies that provide different abilities, like in all games since ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''. In addition, it now always runs in a fixed order (but still starts in a random position), namely:


In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', only two enemies with different abilities are required to trigger a Mix, like in the rest of the series. In addition, it now always runs in a fixed order (but still starts in a random position), namely:
Festival → Needle → Spear → Bomb → Sand → Sword → Water → Hammer → Spark → Mike → Parasol → Whip → Fire → Ninja → Hi-Jump → Ice → Mecha → Cutter → Leaf → Wing → Beam → Crash → Stone → Tornado → Fighter → Sleep ↩
Festival → Needle → Spear → Bomb → Sand → Sword → Water → Hammer → Spark → Mike → Parasol → Whip → Fire → Ninja → Hi-Jump → Ice → Mecha → Cutter → Leaf → Wing → Beam → Crash → Stone → Tornado → Fighter → Sleep ↩
The [[Random Copy Essence]] [[Stock Item|Souvenir Item]], obtained from [[Merry Magoland]], cycles through the same roulette at a slower pace.
The demo version of this game features a shortened version of the Mix order that only includes Abilities present in the demo. Notably, this Mix order is the same as the version in the full game, simply skipping over the Abilities not obtainable in the demo:
Needle → Sand → Sword → Water → Whip → Fire → Ninja → Hi-Jump → Cutter → Leaf → Beam → Tornado → Fighter → Sleep ↩

In ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', [[UFO]] and [[Smash Bros.]] cannot be obtained via Mix. There is a Mix [[Copy Essence]] that appears in [[The Arena]] and [[The True Arena]], which cycles through all other abilities (except for [[Sleep]]) in a roulette and grants Kirby whichever ability is being displayed when he touches it.
