When Kirby gains the Archer ability, he obtains a fancy purple hat with a white trim and a big yellow feather sticking out the back. His bow is red with a star insignia in the center, and his arrows are silver-tipped with golden-brown shafts. Since its debut, Archer has only appeared one other time in the main series (in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''), with the rest of its appearances being in the [[Kirby Fighters (series)|''Kirby Fighters'' games]].

{{quote|Have you tried the new Archer ability yet? Doesn’t Kirby look charming wearing a fashionable hat while sniping enemies with arrows?  The Archer ability enables three levels of attacks depending on the amount of power you charge up: the Shot, Snipe Shot, and Magic-Star Arrow. You can also use Arrow Slash to attack enemies up close.  Kirby using his Hitman attack while hiding behind a bush is quite a sight, too! For the Archer ability, inhale a Spynum before it hits you!|[[Satoshi Ishida]], [[Miiverse]] post on 05/23/2014 9:18 AM}}

Since its debut in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'', Archer has remained more or less consistent in its look and functionality. Archer Kirby's moveset allows him to shoot different types of arrows in various patterns. He can also swing his arrows in close quarters or camouflage himself with a cardboard cutout colored in crayon. Archer Kirby's full moveset is as follows (excluding minor changes made in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'', detailed in a separate table below):
