Copy Ability Room: Difference between revisions

[[File:Testing Area PR.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Kirby tests the [[Sleep]] ability in the '''Ability Testing Area''' from ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''.]]

A '''Copy Ability Testing Area''' is a special room, section, or stage devoted specifically to [[Copy Ability]] testing; containing most, if not all of the abilities available in the game it appears in from [[Copy Essence]]s scattered throughout the area. The first of these appeared in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', and they have reappeared in several ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series titles since. These areas almost always require unlocking, either by completing the main game, or performing some other task.

 

==Testing Areas by Game==

===''Kirby Super Star'' (Ultra)===

Each stage contains a different set of Copy Abilities, and a number of enemies to test them on. The areas also have [[Maxim Tomato]]es to restore Kirby's [[Stamina]].

From the [[Rainbow Route - Central Circle]], a [[Mirror Door]] leading to an ability testing chamber will open when all of the [[Big Switch]]es in the game have been pressed, linking all of the hubs to the central circle. This room contains Copy Essences for every ability in the game, except for [[Master]], [[Cook]], [[Crash]], [[Mini]], [[Sleep]], [[Magic]] and [[U.F.O.]].

From the world map, a special area can be accessed if every [[Treasure|Treasure Chest]] has been collected. This area includes Copy Essences for every Copy Ability, including [[Ghost]] if the [[Ghost Medal]] has been completed.

===''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''===

Inside the [[Lor Starcutter]], there are four chambers in the left wing that are unlocked by collecting [[Energy Sphere]]s. Each room contains five Copy Essences for different abilities, and a [[Dummy]] to practice on. The only abilities that are not represented are limited-use abilities like [[Crash]] and [[Mike]], [[Sleep]] and the [[Super Ability|Super Abilities]].

The following is a list of what each room contains, and what the unlock requirement is:

*Room 2 - [[Stone]], [[Parasol (ability)|Parasol]], [[Whip]], [[Beam]], [[Spark]] - 40 to unlock

Each level in ''[[New Challenge Stages]]'' contains an ability testing room which allows Kirby to practice with abilities available on that level. Like the rooms in ''Return to Dream Land'', these are small, and contain a Dummy to practice on. Unlike those rooms, however, Kirby equips his desired ability at the door, and is unable to discard it while inside.

Once the Story Mode is complete, Kirby can access the Ability Testing Room in the [[Access Ark]] area map, by hopping on a [[Warp Star]] past the entrance to Stage EX 1. In here is an area which resembles Fine Fields from ''Triple Deluxe'', though the walkways are built using steel and pipes. All abilities can be found here, as well as a [[Toughness Waddle Dee]] to practice them on. In a separate area of the stage, a suit of [[Robobot Armor]] can be found, and all the arm{{ou}}r modes can be tested there on a multitude of enemies.

If the save file is [[100% Completion|cleared 100%]], a [[UFO]] can also be found in this stage, which will grant the [[U.F.O.]] ability when swallowed. This is the only way to get that ability in this game, unless a ''Kirby'' series Kirby [[amiibo]] is scanned in.

===''Kirby: Battle Royale''===

A training room is accessible from the main menu, as well as from [[Dedede's Cake Royale]]. Once inside, {{realMe}} can select an ability to use and a style of room to enter, which will place Kirby (or another character) in either a top-down or side-view arena. A Dummy styled after Kirby can be found in here, along with a few [[Apple]]s. The dummy can be attacked, and will not retaliate except to return to its original position after a short while. If the dummy is defeated, it will reappear shortly afterward.

This testing room takes the form of a 'planet' which is unlocked after the story mode is complete. It can be accessed in [[Far-Flung Starlight Heroes]]. In addition to being a hub for every ability (and [[Helper|Friend]]) in the game, there is also a challenge room on this planet, which - if beaten - will yield a large reward for Kirby, though completing this challenge is not required for [[100% Completion]] of the game.
