{{about|the limited-use [[Copy Ability]]|the similarly-functioning item from Kirby's Block Ball|[[Crash (item)]]}}
'''Crash''' is an ability primarily obtained by absorbing a warhead enemy, [[Bomber]]. It allows [[Kirby]] to perform a destructive attack, Crash Fireball, which wipes the screen clear of enemies. In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', the ability is obtained primarily from a floating round bomb creature called a [[Searches]].

The Crash ability does not produce a [[Helper]] due to two key reasons:
* The enemies associated with Crash explode either by impact with Kirby or the ground or detonate in the pink puffball's proximity.
* Crash (like [[Mike]]) is limited use, so a Helper with it would provide issues for a second player who wants to play for more than a brief moment.

===''Kirby's Adventure'' / ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===
Crash first appears in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. It reappears and functions identically in [[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land|its remake]]. It can be acquired from the regular enemy [[Bomber]] and from the defeated [[Poppy Bros. Sr.]] In its original incarnation in ''Kirby's Adventure'', using the attack would have Kirby bouncing all over the screen, rather than producing a giant explosion as would be seen in later games. Using Crash instantly defeats all enemies and Mid-Bosses on-screen, but only does some damage to bosses.

===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
[[File:KSSU Crash usage screenshot.png|thumb|right|200px|Crash Kirby attacking a [[Poppy Bros. Sr.]] in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'']]
Crash reappears in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|its remake]], functioning identically to its appearance in ''Kirby's Adventure'', though gaining a new animation. Like the other limited-use ability, Mike, Kirby does not gain a hat. It can be gained from Bomber, or by using [[Copy]] on [[Scarfy]] (or [[Mister Anglep]] in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'').

===''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''===
Crash appears in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', unchanged from its appearance in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. It is once again provided by [[Bomber]].

===''Kirby: Canvas Curse''===
In this game, Crash is distinguished by a black ring which orbits Kirby upon gaining the ability. It is used by tapping the touch screen and functions similarly to its appearance in the main games, and can be used to press [[Switch]]es. It is once again provided by Bomber.

=== ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' ===
Crash is redesigned in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''. Firstly, it gains its modern hat: a crown with a glass dome that contains a nuclear reaction inside. It also gains the ability to make the explosion even more powerful (albeit only effective on bosses/mini-bosses) by charging it up beforehand. This can be done when the player holds down the B (or 1) button while mashing the +Control Pad (or shaking the Wii Remote).

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' and ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
[[File:KPR Gigabyte Grounds Stage 2 3.png|thumb|200px|Kirby releasing a Crash on [[Miasmoros]] in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'']]
The ability functions largely identically in the two 3DS games as in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', having no major changes between installments other than the removal of motion controls.

===''Kirby Star Allies''===
Crash reappears in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', and has a new [[Friend Ability]] performed by using the ability with [[friend]]s out: [[Crash Rush]]. Additionally, the charge time for the powered-up version of the move is increased, likely to accommodate for Crash Rush.

===''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''===
[[File:KatFL Concrete Isles screenshot 02.png|thumb|200px|Kirby using Crash in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''.]]
Crash returns in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', affecting enemies in a large area around Kirby. Like in past titles, if the B Button is held long enough before attacking, Kirby can also use the Supernova attack. The ability can be evolved into [[Time Crash]] after finding the blueprint in [[Invasion at the House of Horrors]], which not only deals damage but also slows time to a crawl for a short time, during which Kirby does additional damage to enemies by colliding with them while extending the slow-down effect.

{{quote|It is a Kirby mode we have never seen before! This is Crash Kirby!|[[Meta Knight (anime character)|Meta Knight]], in [[Fossil Fools - Part II]]}}
Crash Kirby makes three appearances in the anime series ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', appearing in the episodes [[Fossil Fools - Part II]], [[Air-Ride-in-Style - Part II]], and [[Cappy Town Down]]. It retains its essential function in the video games, giving Kirby a single-use explosive attack that destroys all of his enemies in one fell swoop. In Fossil Fools - Part II, Kirby uses this ability to destroy [[Doctor Moro]] and his [[Chimera Dinosaurs]]. In Air-Ride-in-Style - Part II, Kirby uses the ability to destroy a [[Destroya]]. This is done again in Cappy Town Down, though it is done too late to save [[Cappy Town]].

The anime series was the first to give Crash Kirby a hat, and it has a distinctive look from the current design used in the video games. The hat resembles a samurai helmet and is largely black with sharp white accents and a crown-like golden piece on top. Additionally, during the transformation sequence, Kirby is showered in a series of light rings which resemble the traditional symbol of an atom, alluding to the nuclear nature of this ability.

==Trivia==
*Kirby noticeably gains visible teeth while performing the Crash attack in ''Kirby Super Star''. This is not the case in any other game, including its remake.
*In games prior to ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', Crash can be used to light [[fuse]]s. This can be done from anywhere the fuse is visible, and can be handy for some of the shorter fuses in ''Kirby's Adventure'' in particular.
*In ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'' and ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'', the icon for Crash features clouds in the shape of a skull.
*In spite of being often depicted as the most dangerous Copy Ability Kirby can obtain, its total damage output compared to similar Copy Abilities is middling. Mike, [[Festival]], and [[Cook]] all have the potential to equal or outperform it in ''Kirby Star Allies'', even with charging up Supernova.
**Even the [[Artist]] ability's Painbrush attack can deal up to 190 damage, enough to outclass Crash Fireball.
