The Invincible Candy,^[1] formerly known as Candy,^[2] is a special item found in most games of the Kirby series. It is a rare item that resembles a glowing lollipop with a star. While the Invincible Candy is a lollipop, it is not technically food, as it does not recover any health.

The Invincible Candy Kirby his helper(s), or other playable character(s) temporarily invincible when eaten, enabling them to harm enemies and bosses without taking damage, as well as moving through hazards like spikes unharmed. However, the invincibility wears off after a few seconds, and it does not protect Kirby from falling into a bottomless pit or being crushed.

In Kirby Super Star, the invincible effect can also be obtained from the Ability Mix roulette when it stops on the "Super" icon. In various multiplayer games starting with Kirby Super Star, its effect can be shared with Kirby's allies for a short time by Face-to-Face.

Game appearances

Kirby's Dream Land

In Kirby's Dream Land the Candy makes Kirby invincible for a short time. He will flash, surrounded by small stars. The effects are carried over between rooms and on the Warp Star; however, there are no situations in which the effects of the Candy last after taking the Warp Star. Making contact with a foe triggers hitlag. The Candy can be consumed by simply touching it or inhaling it from afar, in which case Kirby automatically swallows anything he may have inhaled. The effects of the Candy do not protect Kirby from bottomless pits.

Candy can only be found in Castle Lololo.

Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

In Stage 4 of Vegetable Valley in Kirby's Adventure, the first Invincible Candy is tossed to Kirby by Meta Knight. This is not done in the remake, instead the Candy is out in the open for Kirby to take. Invincible Candy can be found dispersed across some stages in the game, usually placed in locations where the player is encouraged to use the candy to safely run across straightforward sections filled with different types of enemies. Invincible Candy can be inhaled from a distance and makes the user immune to hazards, foes and projectiles, albeit while slowing down due to hitlag; the user is still vulnerable to bottomless pits and crushing. These effects are referred to as "Hyper". In the remake, Kirbys can share the Candy via Face-to-Face.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

Invincible Candy locations in Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Stage	Stage 1	Stage 2	Stage 3	Stage 4	Stage 5	Stage 6
Vegetable Valley					N/A	N/A
Ice Cream Island						N/A
Butter Building
Grape Garden
Yogurt Yard
Orange Ocean
Rainbow Resort

Kirby's Pinball Land

In Kirby's Pinball Land Candy behaves similarly to Apples. Coming in contact with it consumes it without knocking Kirby back and grants the player 3000 points.

Kirby's Block Ball

In Kirby's Block Ball the Candy is treated as regular food. It can be dropped by a foe when it's defeated. Candy gives 1500 points when consumed.

Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra

In Kirby Super Star and its remake, Kirby (or Meta Knight in Meta Knightmare Ultra) can share the effects of the Candy with a Helper via Face-to-Face shortly after it is consumed. The duration of the Candy's effect if received by Face-to-Face depends on the remaining duration it has on the player who has obtained the Candy first. The effects don't carry over to new helpers. Notably, the user now speeds up in addition to becoming invulnerable; however, it can only be consumed by making direct contact. When getting the Mix ability, Kirby has the option to land on a "Super", which triggers the effects of the Candy at any point in the current stage.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby's Dream Land 3

In Kirby's Dream Land 3 the Invincibile Candy gives both Kirby and Gooey (if he was present when it was consumed) a trail when moving and a glowing effect with stars and bubbles, as well as the ability to defeat foes and destroy Star Blocks upon contact. Summoning Gooey after consuming the Candy will not transfer the effects onto him. However, mounting an Animal Friend will give the effects to them for as long as they would last normally or until they are dismounted.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

This game was the first to give the Invincible Candy a unique, original track instead of the usual remix of its theme from Kirby's Dream Land. Like in Kirby's Dream Land 3, Kirby once again is able to destroy Star Blocks and plow through enemies by simply touching them while under the effects of the Invincible Candy. Unlike in most games, the effects do not carry over from room to room. Notably, Kirby's appearance when using the candy features him being surrounded by stars, instead of flashing different colors like in previous titles.

Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble

-

Kirby Air Ride

-

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror

In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror the Invincible Candy works much like in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. The newly introduced Magic copy ability has a chance to provide the user invincibility via a roulette in which the Candy is depicted. Shadow Kirby may also drop an Invincible Candy once defeated.

Kirby: Canvas Curse

In Kirby: Canvas Curse, the Invincible Candy appears as one of the possible drawings in the Paint Panic Sub-Game.

Kirby: Squeak Squad

The Invincible Candy retains all of its properties from the Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. Additionally, in Kirby: Squeak Squad, it can be stored in bubbles and is obtainable with the ? bubble roulette.

Kirby Mass Attack

In Kirby Mass Attack the Invincible Candy is replaced by the Jumbo Candy and cannot be found under normal circumstances. However, upon getting a Game Over screen 3 times in a row in the same stage, said stage will offer a regular Invincible Candy at the start. Unlike Jumbo Candy, the Invincible Candy will not make the Kirbys increase in size. However, the Jumbo Candy theme will still be the one to play.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe

In Kirby's Return to Dream Land (Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe), the Invincible Candy retains its properties from Kirby Super Star/Kirby Super Star Ultra and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, speeding up its user and making the character invulnerable to everything the game has to offer with the exception of bottomless pits and crushing. While under the effects of the Invinible Candy, the user and their health bar glow in the colors of the rainbow. Notably, this game features the fastest-paced version of the Candy's theme.

Additionally, the Invincible Candy is one of the possible book covers in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe's Magolor's Tome Trackers Sub-Game.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

Invincible Candy locations in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe
Stage	Stage 1	Stage 2	Stage 3	Stage 4	Stage 5
Cookie Country
Raisin Ruins
Onion Ocean					N/A
White Wafers
Nutty Noon

Dangerous Dinner		(Deluxe only)		N/A	N/A

Kirby: Triple Deluxe

In the main playable modes of Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Invincible Candy's effects are unaltered from Kirby's Return to Dream Land, albeit while excluding Face-to-Face sharing.

Additionally, there is a keychain picturing the Invincible Candy as seen in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

Invincible Candy locations in Kirby: Triple Deluxe
Stage	Stage 1	Stage 2	Stage 3	Stage 4	Stage 5	Stage 6 (EX)	Stage 7 EX	Stage 8 EX

Kirby Fighers series

In the Kirby Fighters series, the Invincible Candy does not speed up the user nor damage opponents upon contact.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

In Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, when using the Candy, Kirby's speed is increased just like in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. Kirby can also use a Star Dash at any time while under its effects. When the Candy's effects are about to end, an audio cue is present to alert the player of such. Like in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, the effects do not carry over between rooms. Notably, the Candy is the only item that can help Kirby defeat the otherwise unbeatable Dethskullks and the Dethskullk King, which is why it is more commonly dispersed across the stage The Haunted Ship.

Kirby: Planet Robobot

In Kirby: Planet Robobot, the Invincible Candy works like it did in Kirby: Triple Deluxe.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

Invincible Candy locations in Kirby: Planet Robobot
Stage	Stage 1	Stage 2	Stage 3	Stage 4	Stage 5	Stage 6 (EX)	Stage 7 EX	Stage 8 EX
Patched Plains					N/A		N/A	N/A

Kirby Star Allies

In Kirby Star Allies, Invincible Candy preserves its Kirby's Return to Dream Land properties. In addition, a special effect happens when acquiring some Invincible Candy while riding the Friend Star. The pause screen lists this effect as a move called "Shooting Star", and it allows the Friend Star to plow through enemies, metal blocks, and fragile walls by simply moving into them.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land

When Kirby is under the effect of Invincible Candy, he can defeat strong enemies like Wild Edge by simply touching them.

In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Invincible Candy works much like its predecessors, albeit now being shared with a high-five rather than Face-to-Face.

Notably, the final Mouthful Mode segment of the main game (during the Fecto Elfilis fight) plays "A Full-Speed Farewell from the New World", a remix of the Invincible Candy's theme.

Additionally, one of the collectible figures from Vol. 1 features an Invincible Candy.

Kirby's Dream Buffet

In Kirby's Dream Buffet's Battle Royale mode, an Invincible Candy can be given to the player in last place, causing a "screen KO" on opponents.

Additionally, appears on a Character Treat of the Invincible Candy appears using its artwork from Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.

Super Smash Bros. series

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Invincible Candy appears as a sticker which adds +4 damage to R.O.B.'s "Specials: Direct" attacks. It is unclear exactly which attacks are boosted by this sticker.

Music

Main article: Invincible Candy (themes)

This familiar theme usually plays after Kirby eats Invincible Candy (Kirby and the Forgotten Land version).

While Kirby is under the effect of an Invincible Candy, a special musical theme plays, which can be heard in nearly every game that includes the Candy. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards and Kirby Mass Attack are the only games to have a different Invincible Candy theme than the recurring one. When the Invincible Candy is consumed in Kirby Air Ride, no special theme is played at all.
