'''Copy Ability''' is a catch-all term referring to [[Kirby]]'s trademark ability to inherit and utilize the special powers and/or skills of the entities he swallows using his [[inhale]]. First introduced in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', this ability grants the pink puffball a potentially massive array of different methods of attack and means of traversing the lands he finds himself in. Starting with games like ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', acquiring a Copy Ability also bestows a unique hat, outfit, or other distinguishing feature upon Kirby, which serves as a quick-glance way to determine what kind of power he has obtained. | '''Copy Ability''' is a catch-all term referring to [[Kirby]]'s trademark ability to inherit and utilize the special powers and/or skills of the entities he swallows using his [[inhale]].

While some are much more closely related to copy abilities than others, all of the following are officially grouped into a big category called "Special Ability" in the official [[Kirby Portal]] website.<ref>[https://www.kirby.jp/ability/ Kirby Portal page on Copy Abilities]</ref> Some Special Abilities based on vehicles fall under a sub-category called メカ (''Mecha''), while all others fall under a sub-category simply called 能力 (''Ability'').

|Normal is sometimes classified as a regular Copy Ability (in particular, [https://www.kirby.jp/ability/copy/normal.html it is one in the Kirby Portal website]), but most of the time it's not treated as one.
