Ice is among the oldest copy abilities in Kirby's arsenal, and serves as a natural counterpart to [[Fire]], appearing in a similar number of games to that ability and having its own on and off again partner in the form of the Freeze ability. In its simplest form, the Ice ability allows Kirby to breathe a cone of ice at his opponents to freeze them solid. While Ice's breath attack cannot be controlled as finely as Fire's, the secondary effect is that Kirby can kick enemies he freezes to make them slide forward, potentially defeating other enemies they collide with. Using this ice breath also allows Kirby to cool down fiery hazards like magma blocks, or in ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'', freeze the surface of water. In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', Ice Kirby can even skate on the surface of lava to avoid damage.

Ice's move-set would expand in a number of ways starting with ''Kirby Super Star'', but it would not drift too far from its fundamental character. One notable visual update has Ice Kirby skating along the ground when [[dash]]ing as opposed to using his regular run. In addition, he gains the ability to use the defensive aura attack characteristic of the Freeze ability, swallow foes and then spit them back out as ice balls, and even encase himself in ice for defense. In ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'', Ice Kirby even gains the ability to conjure pillars of ice to block his opponents' way. Ice can also be combined easily with other powers and allies, as seen with his [[Animal Friend]] pairings, the [[Power Combo]]s in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', and granting the Blizzard [[Power Effect]] to friends in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

Though once granting the Freeze ability instead, [[Chilly]] is the most common representative and [[helper]] for the Ice ability. Other sources of the ability include [[Pengy]], [[Mr. Frosty]], and more obscure enemies like [[Emp]] and [[Frigis]].

Ice returns in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. Here, the ability retains Ice Breath, which can now be aimed freely in different directions in the 3-D environment like Fire. The ability to kick frozen enemies to slide them along the ground is also retained. Kicked enemies lightly home in on nearby enemies. Kirby can also use Ice Storm, which leaves behind a trail of ice shards. These shards can be frozen and kicked towards enemies as well. Kirby can use Ice Skate and Ice Storm to freeze water for a short time to travel over it, and he can also use Ice Skate to travel over mud and magma. The ability can also freeze bosses and mid-bosses for a short period of time before thawing out and taking severe damage if Kirby uses the ability enough on them.

During his adventures, Kirby can find blueprints to take to [[Waddle Dee's Weapons Shop]] to [[Evolved Copy Ability|evolve the Copy Ability into one of two new forms]], one being [[Frosty Ice]], and the other being [[Blizzard Ice]]. Frosty Ice allows Kirby to create snowmen that resemble [[Wild Frosty]] with his Ice Breath and Ice Storm attacks, whereas Blizzard Ice allows Kirby to shoot shards of ice from his mouth from a distance. Ice Storm is also upgraded where icy spikes come out when he performs the move, and his ice shield and trails now damage enemies on contact.

In the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], the Ice ability makes an appearance in ''[[Kirby: Big Race in Pupupu Land!]]'', where [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] obtains it from [[Mr. Frosty]]. With this [[Copy Ability]], Kirby uses his Ice Breath to soothe extreme heat, with the effect of freezing objects around him.
In ''Kirby: Big Race in Pupupu Land!'', the big race's second checkpoint has the "Superspicy Gourmet Challenge of Terror", where the contestants must eat a bowl of spicy food. All of the contestants are in extreme pain from the spice, and Kirby gulps up the staff's entire water supply. Even this does not satisfy his burning mouth, so he resorts to inhaling [[Mr. Frosty]]. This gives him the Ice ability, which finally satisfies him by making his insides all cold. Kirby lets out a freezing ice breath at everything around him, which freezes nearby objects like the table and bowls. All the other contestants chomp away at the ice, which finally gets rid of the painful spiciness in their mouths too.
