This article is about the special type of Copy Essence found in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra's Milky Way Wishes subgame. For Copy Essence in general, see Copy Essence.

When Kirby uses these essences, he permanently learns a new ability!
The Copy Essence Deluxe (plural: Copy Essences Deluxe) is a trophy-like item exclusively found in the Milky Way Wishes game of Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra. It physically resembles a standard Copy Essence but, unlike the latter, not only instantly grants Kirby a particular Copy Ability, but also enables him to assume said ability at will at any later point of the game. Copy Essences Deluxe also transform Kirby's helper into a different character if it touches one.
Finding every Copy Essence Deluxe is a requirement for 100% completion of Milky Way Wishes.
Locations
The fully-completed Copy Essence Deluxe menu in Kirby Super Star.
In the summer version of the main area, this essence can be found inside a tree which can only be accessed from the right near the right-end of the area.
In the winter version of the main area, this essence can be found through a doorway buried under a frozen pond. Kirby will need to bust through the ice to get it.
In the area with the branching underwater paths, Kirby must make a specific route from the beginning to get to this essence; down, right, down, right, up.
In the first long stretch of the stage, this essence can be found through a doorway hidden by a palm tree. Breaking a Bomb Block below reveals the doorway.
Deep into the path, Kirby finds a doorway guarded by a horde of Meta-Knights. Entering this door leads to a challenge involving spike pits, a bunch of Blade Knights, and an encounter with Jukid. Defeating this mid-boss yields this essence.
Along the path in the first large area, Kirby must find a Star Block in the ceiling and move past it to reach a doorway. The room on the other side holds this essence.
Further down the path in the first large area, Kirby must light a fuse and hop into the Cannon up ahead to get launched to a room with this essence in it.
Once Kirby arrives in the first room with multiple doorways, he must take the following route to get to this essence most quickly; right, middle, left, middle.
In the first area, Kirby must uncover a lavafall in an overhanging cave and then fly in to find a door on the other side. To avoid taking damage from the lava, he will need an Invincible Candy.
In the second area with the Carts, a doorway can be found by busting through a ceiling made of fragile blocks up ahead. In the proceeding room, Kirby will need to defeat Bugzzy before the essence will appear.
After passing through two doorways, Kirby finds himself in a large interior area. He must venture below through a hall lined with spikes to find a large open room up above where a doorway will lead him past an elevator guarded by Gims to get this essence.
Once this planet is located, obtaining the essence is a simple matter of getting to the end of the area.
This is the only essence of a limited-use ability. Having Copy on stand-by allows Kirby to obtain other abilities from enemies as per usual.
