Each Copy Essence resembles a golden pedestal with a figurine of a certain enemy standing on top or the symbol of a [[Copy Ability]] in some games in the series. When Kirby touches such a pedestal, he is instantly awarded the [[Copy Ability]] appropriate to the enemy/icon displayed. For example, if Kirby touches a Copy Essence with a figurine of a [[Blade Knight]], Kirby will get the [[Sword]] ability. If Kirby already possesses an ability, his current power will be replaced in ''Kirby Super Star'' and its remake, as well as in main-series games since ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', whereas in other games, nothing will happen until he drops his Copy Ability.<ref name=K&tAM/> Every Copy Essence can be used an unlimited amount of times. Apart from being found sporadically throughout games, they usually appear in unlockable rooms containing most of the game's abilities, as well as featuring prominently in [[The Arena]] and similar [[Boss Endurance]] modes. | Each Copy Essence resembles a golden pedestal with a figurine of a certain enemy standing on top or the symbol of a [[Copy Ability]] in some games in the series.

In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', Copy Essences can appear before boss and mid-boss encounters. Here, they resemble their corresponding [[Ability Item]]s, but on golden podiums. Notably, if Kirby touches one while using a [[Mouthful Mode]] transformation, he will gain the ability without any transformation animation. In most cases, [[Mid-Boss]]es now leave behind the Copy Essence corresponding to their Copy Ability after being defeated. | In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', Copy Essences can appear before boss and mid-boss encounters.
