Editing Super Ability

[[File:KRTDL Ultra Sword 1.png|thumb|200px|Artwork of [[Kirby]] with the [[Ultra Sword]], the most iconic of the five '''Super Abilities'''.]]
A '''Super Ability''' is a special form of [[Copy Ability]] that was first introduced in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. Super Abilities are exaggerated and powerful forms of normal Copy Abilities which are obtained by swallowing star-studded "super" enemies and objects, granting [[Kirby]] the ability to clear away large obstacles and swathes of enemies in a single go. Super Abilities also grant Kirby the power to open rifts to [[Another Dimension]] (though only in specific areas), where he can then obtain [[Energy Sphere]]s from [[Sphere Doomer]]s. Unlike standard Copy Abilities, however, all Super Abilities operate on a timer, and once the timer runs out, Kirby loses the ability. Kirby will also lose a Super Ability if he is defeated, exits the stage he found it on, has it forcefully dispelled from him by a boss, or enters a rift to Another Dimension. In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', Super Abilities typically appear for the final stretches of certain stages, where Kirby needs to make use of their specific powers to interact with the varying [[device]]s, hazards, and enemies therein.

==Obtaining Super Abilities==
[[File:KRtDL Super Blade Knight.jpg|thumb|100px|[[Super Blade Knight]] is the first "super" enemy encountered in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.]]
There are four enemies and one mid-boss in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' that provide Super Abilities. These are as follows:
*[[Super Blade Knight]] ([[Ultra Sword]])
*[[Super Hot Head]] ([[Monster Flame]])
*[[Super Waddle Doo]] ([[Flare Beam]])
*[[Super Chilly]] ([[Snow Bowl]])
*[[Super Bonkers]] ([[Grand Hammer]] - [[Mid-Boss]])

Grand Hammer can also be obtained through a glowing hammer summoned by [[Traitor Magolor|Magolor EX]]. Super Abilities can be obtained from these enemies in typical fashion by [[inhale|inhaling]] them, but the [[Ability Star]]s will also drop from these enemies when defeated in any other way, and Kirby will don the Super Ability merely by touching these stars, overriding any other Copy Ability Kirby may have had in the process.

All Super Ability-providing enemies, excluding [[Super Bonkers]], can be made to reappear after their defeat without restarting the stage by leaving the area they appeared in and coming back. Doing so can grant Kirby a second Super Ability for further use in those instances, should he lose the first one. However, it is never necessary to have a Super Ability to clear a stage.

Kirby can also drop the Ability Star for a Super Ability at any time he desires. Ability Stars for Super Abilities will eventually break in the original game, but in the remake, they never break. Inhaling a dropped Super Ability will reset the timer in the original, which is not the case in the remake.

If multiple players are playing as different-colored Kirbys, any one of them can gain a Super Ability, but only one can be active at any time — if another player gains a Super Ability while one is already present, the existing Super Ability is removed.

In multiplayer, a player that is using a Super Ability can attack other players with it. Any other players that are attacked receive knockback, but will sustain no damage. In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', Super Abilities can also trigger [[Meta Knight]]'s Galactic Counter, which will have no effect.

==Bosses that require Super Abilities==
[[File:KRtDL Grand Doomer shield screenshot.png|thumb|150px|When battling [[Grand Doomer]] in the Story Mode of ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', the final part of the fight has it encasing itself in a star-studded shield, which can only be broken using Super Abilities.]]
In both the Story and Extra modes of ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', the bosses [[Grand Doomer]] and Magolor will be equipped with star-studded shields when their [[health]] is almost fully depleted, which require the Super Abilities obtained from the spawned enemies to destroy. The Grand Doomer fight makes use only of the Ultra Sword ability, while Magolor's fight makes use of multiple Super Abilities — Monster Flame and Flare Beam in Story Mode, Snow Bowl and Grand Hammer in Extra Mode, and both ending with Ultra Sword. Notably, while special animations are used when Kirby is finishing off his opponent with the Ultra Sword, this ability is not actually required to defeat either boss once their shields are gone. Dealing the last blow with any normal attack causes them to be defeated in a manner similar to how it works in [[The Arena]] and [[The True Arena]].

Additionally, [[Magolor (second form)|Magolor's second boss form]] and [[Magolor Soul]] are able to use attacks resembling Super Abilities, with Magolor Soul having an exclusive "Grand Snow Hammer" attack that combines Grand Hammer and Snow Bowl. It should be noted that these attacks only resemble their namesake Super Abilities, and do not have the same properties as those of Kirby.

==Appearances and references after ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''==
While Super Abilities are still largely exclusive to ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', they have appeared (or at least have been referenced) in the following subsequent games:
*''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' - One of [[Stone]] Kirby's rare transformations depicts Ultra Sword Kirby.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' - Kirby's [[Final Smash]] was changed to the Ultra Sword, which he uses to deal big damage to any enemy fighter he manages to strike with the initial swing.
*''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' - The Ultra Sword appears as a [[Sticker (Kirby: Planet Robobot)|sticker]]. Additionally, one of [[Stone]] Kirby's rare transformations depicts Ultra Sword Kirby wielding the fish.
*''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'' - Some of the [[Alternate costumes|headgear]] for the [[Sword]], [[Hammer]], and [[Ice]] abilities resembles their Super Ability equivalents.
*''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' - Magolor appears as a [[Dream Friend]] in this game. One of his moves is a replica of the Ultra Sword attack, conjuring his own version of the sword to swipe at enemies. Additionally, one of [[Stone]] Kirby's transformations depicts Ultra Sword Kirby wielding the fish.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' - Kirby retains his Ultra Sword Final Smash from the previous ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. Additionally, there is an Ultra Sword spirit.
*''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'' - The Ultra Sword Rare Hat for Sword Kirby returns from ''Kirby Battle Royale''. Magolor also retains his Ultra Sword attack from ''Kirby Star Allies''.
*''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'' - Ultra Sword, Monster Flame, and Snow Bowl appear as [[Character Treat]]s.

==Trivia==
[[File:KRTDL Super Cutter hat model.png|thumb|100px|The unused "Super Cutter" hat]]
*Two other Copy Abilities were considered to receive Super Ability versions, but were ultimately cut. Cutter's Super Ability was mostly complete before it was cut, having a modeled hat, icons, and most of its animations left over; Spark was also considered, but it only has an icon left over and the rest of its data was overwritten by Ultra Sword.
*Excluding boss battles, each Super Ability appears exactly three times in the stages: Flare Beam appears in [[Raisin Ruins - Stage 2]], [[Nutty Noon - Stage 2]], [[Egg Engines - Stage 3]], Grand Hammer appears in [[White Wafers - Stage 2]], [[Nutty Noon - Stage 4]], [[Dangerous Dinner - Stage 2]], Monster Flame appears in [[Cookie Country - Stage 4]], [[Onion Ocean - Stage 3]], [[Egg Engines - Stage 1]] (although in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', Monster Flame appears in the newly added [[HAL Room]] in [[Dangerous Dinner - Stage 2]], making it the only Super Ability to appear in non-boss stages more than three times), Snow Bowl appears in [[Onion Ocean - Stage 1]], [[White Wafers - Stage 4]], [[Dangerous Dinner - Stage 1]], and Ultra Sword appears in [[Cookie Country - Stage 1]], [[Raisin Ruins - Stage 4]], [[Dangerous Dinner - Stage 3]].
*Super Abilities are programmed to deal 10000 damage to enemies (for reference, the basic [[Star Bullet]] deals 52 damage to enemies), allowing them to defeat every enemy in one hit. If a Super Ability is hacked into a boss battle where it isn't intended to appear, it can defeat the boss in one single hit. This behavior can be seen in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2TH_oH2PsM this tool-assisted speedrun] of [[The True Arena]], where Ultra Sword is hacked in.
*One pattern of the [[Skit|title screen animations in ''Kirby Star Allies'']] features [[Blade Knight]], [[Waddle Doo]], [[Chilly]] and [[Bonkers]], whose super forms provide the Super Abilities. [[Hot Head]] is absent in ''Kirby Star Allies'' so it's not present in this pattern.
*All of the Super Abilities, including the scrapped ones, are based on Copy Abilities that originally debuted in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''.
