Beam is an ability primarily obtained by absorbing a Beam-using enemy, such as Waddle Doos or Laser Balls, as well as by using Copy Pedestals. It allows Kirby to perform one of several beam attacks, such as a magical beam whip attack, which is useful for hitting switches, Bomb Blocks, and Star Blocks behind solid walls in order to get to hidden areas and items. Typically, Kirby obtains a red and yellow jester hat when this copy ability is obtained.

Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

“ This Beam's like a whip! Whaa-pssssshh! Beam it! ”
— Pause description from Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land


Beam Kirby first appeared in Kirby's Adventure where his Copy Abilities debuted. This ability allows Kirby to swing a beam downwards in his front by pressing the B button. This ability appears largely unchanged in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, but its visuals have been updated, giving Kirby his cap and causing his face to light up when he uses it.

Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra

Beam Kirby appears in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, with powers typically expected from Beam Kirby. In the sub-game Milky Way Wishes, Kirby may also obtain and keep the Beam ability by using Copy Essence Deluxes. If Kirby has the Beam ability, he may transform the ability into a Waddle Doo as a helper. Kirby's appearance changes with a jester hat with stars, as well as turning yellow.

Kirby: Squeak Squad

Beam returns in this game, functioning the same as in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. An Ability Scroll can be collected for the ability which upgrades its power, and allows it to create sparks that travel along metal surfaces.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land

Beam Kirby reappears in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. In addition to Beam Kirby's typical move-set, Kirby can execute a infinite loop beam whip in mid-air. Because of the multiplayer possibility that there may be several different Template:Coloured Kirbies, there is no yellow shading of Kirby when Kirby obtains the Beam ability. In addition, the jester hat only has the yellow sectioned adorned with stars.

There is a super variant of this ability known as Flare Beam.

Main article: Beam Mage

Beam appears under a different guise as the role Beam Mage from the Clash series of spin-off titles. The only major difference between the abilities is that Beam Mage's "Wave Beam" is upgraded into the "Time Beam", which can be charged to three different levels of power, and stops time for an enemy when they are hit enough times with the move.

Super Smash Bros. Trophy Information

Brawl Trophy Description

"Kirby in a jester cap...and a supercute Kirby at that. Beam Kirby features a Beam ability, acquired by inhaling Waddle Doo, that allows him to shoot a whip-like beam at his enemies. With a wide attack range, this ability is extremely easy to use, especially for taking out enemies in bunches. In Kirby Super Star/Kirby's Fun Pak, this beam can also be charged and fired."

Wii U Trophy Description

"Waddle Doo can fire beams from his eye. Does that make you green with envy? Then inhale him and copy that ability! You'll then be able to shoot beams from a wand, and the attack can even be charged up for greater effectiveness. You can also use a beam to push switches or to grab and toss your foes."

Trivia

  • Beam is the very first Copy Ability that can be obtained in the Kirby series, and has appeared in nearly every main series installment since then.
    • In Kirby Star Allies, this is mentioned on the pause menu flavor text of Waddle Doo if he is 1P: "It was the first Copy Ability that anyone ever got, and the origin of all abilities that came later! So much potential from a beam! And now, he wants to see why the beam... bends!"
    • Despite this, the actual first Copy Ability introduced in the game itself is Fire, as seen in the tutorial reel for Kirby's Adventure.
  • In Kirby Fighters Deluxe, the alternative hat for Beam Kirby resembles Marx's.
