'''Cupid''' (referred to as '''Angel''' in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'') is a [[Copy Ability]] that first appeared in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''. It also appears in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]''. [[Kirby]] receives this ability by sucking up and swallowing a [[Cupie]]. While Kirby has the Cupid ability, he possesses a halo and a set of wings, along with a bow and arrows with heart-shaped tips. Using these, he can gently fly through the air while raining arrows down on enemies. These arrows do not travel quite as far or fast as those of the later [[Archer]] ability - as they can only travel so far before starting to fall downward - so Kirby will often need to position himself to let his arrows drop on opponents from a safe angle.

===''Kirby: Squeak Squad''===
Cupid makes its second appearance in this game, and is once again obtained by swallowing [[Cupie]]. The ability has not fundamentally changed since ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'', but obtaining the [[Ability Scroll]] for Cupid allows Kirby to charge up and fire three arrows at once. Its flight speed has also been decreased.

===''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' manual===
*''"Cupid Kirby shoots an arrow at enemies with his bow while floating in midair. Press and hold B and then release it to fire more arrows farther!"''

==Trivia==
*Another bow & arrow-based [[Copy Ability]], [[Archer]], was introduced in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''.
*In some spin-offs like ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', and ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'', when a [[Kirby]] is defeated and fainted, an angel-like spirit will be released out of his body which resembles Cupid Kirby but is ghostly white and without the bow and arrow.
*In the Japanese games, the pause description describes that the Cupid ability is like a demon, which is possibly a homage to [[Kirby]]'s alias "The Pink Demon".<ref>{{cite|あたるといたい{{color|red|矢}}をうちます<br>おしてはなして{{color|red|矢}}がとびます<br>{{color|red|アクマ}}のような{{color|blue|テンシ}}です<br>(Fire arrows that hurt. Press and release to fire the arrows. The angel is like a demon.)|Pause description of Cupid|''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', Japanese versions}}</ref>
*Cupid Kirby appears on the cover art and commercials of ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''.
