'''Fire''' is a [[Copy Ability]] which empowers [[Kirby]] to breathe a cone of flame from his mouth, which can be used to fight enemies, light things on fire, such as [[fuse]]s, candles, or foliage, or break things made of ice. The range on Kirby's fire breath tends to be middling at best, but in some games, it can be extended and angled while held down. In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and games that follow in its legacy, Fire Kirby has access to many other fiery attacks, such as igniting into a fireball (similar to the [[Burning]] ability), spinning in a fiery pinwheel along the ground, or even turning himself into a big pyre. In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', Fire Kirby can also empower some of his [[helper|allies]] with the "Sizzle" [[Power Effect]]. | '''Fire''' is a [[Copy Ability]] which empowers [[Kirby]] to breathe a cone of flame from his mouth, which can be used to fight enemies, light things on fire, such as [[fuse]]s, candles, or foliage, or break things made of ice.

When possessing the Fire ability, Kirby sports a golden tiara with a turquoise jewel embedded in it. Bright orange flames emerge from the headgear, and in many older titles, Kirby's color slightly changes, making him more red than pink. Kirby can typically obtain the Fire ability from enemies like [[Hot Head]], [[Burning Leo]], [[Galbo]], or [[Flamer]] (when it doesn't provide Burning instead). | ||

Fire is among the most elemental and ubiquitous abilities in Kirby's arsenal, and arguably more than any other is emblematic of his Copy Ability and how it gives Kirby expanded powers. In its simplest form, it allows Kirby to breathe fire from his mouth to deter opponents, thaw out ice, and light the [[fuse]]s of [[cannon]]s. While using this fire breath, Kirby is forced to hold still, and naturally it cannot be used underwater (a restriction that is not beholden to [[Burning Leo]], Fire's main representative and [[helper]]).

While using this fire breath, Kirby is forced to hold still, and naturally it cannot be used underwater (a restriction that is not beholden to [[Burning Leo]], Fire's main representative and [[helper]]). In later games, particularly those that follow ''Kirby Super Star'''s example, Fire would be given a much more versatile moveset, incorporating the fireball of [[Burning]] among other more specialized attacks. The main fire breath ability would also be upgraded, allowing Kirby to angle and direct his fire breath to an extent. Fire would also be given more utility in later games, with the addition of environmental features that can be burned away such as tall grass and dark areas that can be momentarily lit up using the ability. Being an elemental ability, Fire can be readily combined with other abilities and allies to create potent combinations, particularly in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. | ||
As mentioned above, Fire's primary provider and representative helper is Burning Leo. Other common providers include [[Hot Head]], [[Galbo]], and (in appearances where Burning is not a distinct power) [[Flamer]]. | As mentioned above, Fire's primary provider and representative helper is Burning Leo.

When acquired, Kirby is able to spit fire balls which land on the course and remain as conflagrations which can trip up racers who ride over them for a short time. He will also damage any racers or enemies he comes in contact with.

In ''Kirby Meets the Squeak Squad!'', Kirby and [[Waddle Dee (novel character)|Waddle Dee]] discover an ancient temple. They venture deep into it and reach a room full of Copy Essences. Kirby is excited to see a room with so many of them, and touches the Fire one to gain the Fire ability. They venture further into the temple, and Kirby discovers an egg. Kirby immediately wants to cook it with his fire breath, but then they meet its [[Acti Blade|mother bird]], who tells them everything and trusts them to take care of the egg. Just then, [[Storo]], [[Spinni]], and [[Doc]] come in to steal the egg. They get into a short fight with Kirby, who spits flames at Storo and Doc to fend them off. Spinni does not want his scarf to get burnt, so he refuses to fight Kirby, and they retreat. Much later in the story, when Kirby and co. return to the temple to return the egg, they reach the Copy Essence room again, and find out that the [[Squeaks]] had been following them. Kirby remembers last time, and goes for the Fire ability again. He starts breathing flames, but forgets to pay attention to his surroundings, and almost scorches the egg. Kirby removes his ability in shock, but fortunately, the egg is fine. | |||
In ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Start Running to the New World!'', Kirby finds a Fire ability hat at the top of [[Lab Discovera]], shortly after they leave the elevator where [[The Dream Discoveries Tour]] played. Despite Bandana Waddle Dee's worries that it could be a trap, Kirby inhales the hat and gets the Fire ability. Kirby uses the ability to battle [[Leongar]], [[Fecto Forgo]] and [[Fecto Elfilis]]. | |||

Revision as of 14:19, 22 April 2024
- This article is about the Copy Ability Fire, and should not be confused with the Burning ability, a similar fiery ability that was once called Fireball.
- This article is about the Copy Ability. For the course in Top Ride, see Fire (course). For the item in Kirby Air Ride, see Fire (item).
Fire is a Copy Ability which empowers Kirby to breathe a cone of flame from his mouth, which can be used to fight enemies, light things on fire, such as fuses, candles, or foliage, or break things made of ice. The range on Kirby's fire breath tends to be middling at best, but in some games, it can be extended and angled while held down. In Kirby Super Star and games that follow in its legacy, Fire Kirby has access to many other fiery attacks, such as igniting into a fireball (similar to the Burning ability), spinning in a fiery pinwheel along the ground, or even turning himself into a big pyre. In Kirby Star Allies, Fire Kirby can also empower some of his allies with the "Sizzle" Power Effect.
Fire is one of Kirby's oldest Copy Abilities, making its debut in Kirby's Adventure. When possessing the Fire ability, Kirby sports a golden tiara with a turquoise jewel embedded in it. Bright orange flames emerge from the headgear, and in many older titles, Kirby's color slightly changes, making him more red than pink. Kirby can typically obtain the Fire ability from enemies like Hot Head, Burning Leo, Galbo, or Flamer (when it doesn't provide Burning instead).
Characteristics
Fire is among the most elemental and ubiquitous abilities in Kirby's arsenal, and arguably more than any other is emblematic of his Copy Ability and how it gives Kirby expanded powers. In its simplest form, it allows Kirby to breathe fire from his mouth to deter opponents, thaw out ice, and light the fuses of cannons. While using this fire breath, Kirby is forced to hold still, and naturally it cannot be used underwater (a restriction that is not beholden to Burning Leo, Fire's main representative and helper). In later games, particularly those that follow Kirby Super Star's example, Fire would be given a much more versatile moveset, incorporating the fireball of Burning among other more specialized attacks. The main fire breath ability would also be upgraded, allowing Kirby to angle and direct his fire breath to an extent. Fire would also be given more utility in later games, with the addition of environmental features that can be burned away such as tall grass and dark areas that can be momentarily lit up using the ability. Being an elemental ability, Fire can be readily combined with other abilities and allies to create potent combinations, particularly in Kirby Star Allies.
As mentioned above, Fire's primary provider and representative helper is Burning Leo. Other common providers include Hot Head, Galbo, and (in appearances where Burning is not a distinct power) Flamer.

Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Fire first appears in Kirby's Adventure, the game which introduced Kirby's Copy Abilities, and also appears in its remake, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. Absorbing a Hot Head allows Kirby to breathe fire at his enemies, defeating them at short range. In these games, Fire is distinct from Burning, which has Kirby rocketing forward as a fire ball instead.
Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra
In Kirby Super Star and the game's remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby can obtain the Fire ability through Copy Essences, the Copy Essence Deluxe on Planet Hotbeat, or inhaling fiery enemies, notably Burning Leo. With the Fire ability equipped, Kirby can create a Burning Leo as a Helper. These games did not feature the Fire ability's counterpart Burning, but instead included moves associated with Burning into the Fire ability. Therefore, Kirby is not only able to breathe fire at enemies, but to engulf himself in flames and charge forward as well.

Kirby Air Ride
Fire is one of the Copy Abilities which racing Kirbys can use in Kirby Air Ride. When acquired, Kirby is able to spit fire balls which land on the course and remain as conflagrations which can trip up racers who ride over them for a short time. He will also damage any racers or enemies he comes in contact with. Like other abilities in this game, Fire only lasts for a short while before disappearing. Its main provider in this game is Heat Phanphan.
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Fire appears as an ability distinct from Burning once again, working like its appearance in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, although this time Kirby can slightly aim the direction of his fire with the Control Pad, like in Kirby Super Star. It is once again mainly provided by Hot Head. On occasion, Dark Mind's red stars will also provide the Fire ability as well.
Kirby: Squeak Squad
Fire makes a return in Kirby: Squeak Squad, this time without Burning accompanying it. As such, it is provided by Hot Head, Acchi, and Flamer (who previously provided Burning). Fire also inherits Burning's attack, making this appearance of Fire similar (though simpler) than its Kirby Super Star equivalent. Collecting the Ability Scroll for Fire allows Kirby to angle his fire breath up and down while using it. In this game, Fire can be used to melt certain types of metal blocks.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe
Fire reappears as an ability in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, where it is obtained by inhaling fiery enemies such as Hot Heads, Flamers, and Galbos. It can also be obtained from rocks launched by the volcanoes in Dangerous Dinner. The Fire ability is required to light some fuses and launch Kirby from cannons to secret areas of stages, which may provide Energy Spheres. A super version of the Fire ability - called Monster Flame - also exists, and can be obtained by inhaling a Super Hot Head.
Notably, Fire is now capable of breaking metal blocks using the "Burn" technique, which was not possible in previous games that had that move in Fire Kirby's toolkit.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe
Fire returns in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, functioning almost identically to the way it did in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. However, it lacks Spinning Fire Breath and Burning Flame, though gaining two new moves: Fireball Jump and Searing Burn in their place. Like in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, the ability can be obtained from Hot Heads and Flamers, and it can now also be obtained from the Mid-Boss Flame Galboros and various boss attacks such as Pyribbit's flaming rocks.
Fire Kirby also appears as a collectible keychain, using his sprite from Kirby Super Star Ultra.

Kirby Star Allies
Fire returns as an ability in Kirby Star Allies, provided by Burning Leo, who also represents the ability as a Friend. Fire provides the Sizzle effect to certain other abilities, and can also be used in conjunction with Cleaning or Wing to perform Rising Sizzler. Fire also deals bonus damage when used against certain foes, such as Puppet Waddle Dee, Blizzard Guard, Whispy Woods and his relatives, and Francisca. Using Fire in conjunction with the Friend Star is also required to defeat Grand Mam in the Story Mode.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land
Fire Kirby appears in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. He can use his fire breath to light Lantern Switches which can make items appear in a similar manner to breaking a Bomb Block. He can also now gradually burn mid-bosses and bosses by continuously attacking them, dealing small amounts of damage to them over time, with the effects lasting longer and becoming more intense the more fire is used on them. Flames produced by Fire can also stay on the ground or another surface, and damage enemies that run into them. With the right materials, Kirby can go to Waddle Dee's Weapons Shop and evolve the ability into Volcano Fire and Dragon Fire.

B | Kirby breathes out fire to burn enemies. If Kirby continuously uses Fire Breath, lingering flames can appear. They can grow larger if the move is used even more. If this is used on an enemy, the flames will stick onto that enemy until they die out. This attack can be aimed with the L-Stick, allowing Kirby to walk slowly and rotate 360 degrees during it. Moreover, by holding L or R, Kirby can fix the aim of Fire Breath while walking. |

Super Smash Bros. series
In the Super Smash Bros. series, Kirby can use his Burn tackle as his dash attack in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, though it could be argued that this is a use of Burning instead. Fire Kirby also appears as a trophy in Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
| ||||||||||||||||
|
“ | After inhaling an attack, Kirby can transform himself! Kirby has now become...Fire Kirby! | ” | — Meta Knight, in Kirby Comes to Cappy Town |
In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, the Fire ability is the first to be showcased, and is among the most commonly-appearing abilities in the series. True to the games, Fire Kirby's primary power is the ability to breathe a steady stream of fire from his mouth, which can be used to easily fell most foes, even those who are already fire-based. The only entities that Fire Kirby is completely ineffectual against are the monster Flame Feeder—who grows stronger from all sources of heat, Lobzilla—who counters with its own ice breath, and eNeMeE himself—who absorbs the fire breath into his cloak. Unlike in the games, Fire Kirby's powers are limited, as the fire emanating from his hat will gradually shrink and eventually disappear completely the more he uses the ability.
In Cartoon Buffoon, King Dedede attempts to place himself in the role of Kirby in the cartoon, even going so far as to give himself the Fire ability. When Meta Knight is urged to say his line on the matter, he balks, noting that even he could not make the name "Fire Dedede" sound cool. In Fossil Fools - Part II, the monster Kirbysaurus - made from Kirby's DNA - also momentarily gains the Fire ability.

In the Kirby novel series
| ||||||||||||||||
|
In the Kirby novel series, Fire is a recurring Copy Ability in the first volumes. It is also the first Copy Ability to be introduced to this series. Throughout the series, Kirby has obtained the Fire ability from Burning Leo, Fire Lion, and a Copy Essence. This Copy Ability appears in Kirby and the Dangerous Gourmet Mansion?!, Kirby and the Big Panic in Gloomy Woods!, and Kirby Meets the Squeak Squad!. In addition to fighting, Kirby has also used this Copy Ability to cook a cake of his, and made use of the glowing hat he gains to navigate a dark area.
In Kirby and the Dangerous Gourmet Mansion?!, after Burning Leo destroys the stove that Kirby set up, Kirby inhales him to obtain the Fire ability. Kirby then gets out the cake he had been preparing for the party, and uses his fire breath to bake it. After he finishes the cake, he tries a bite of it. Due to his terrible choice of ingredients, Kirby reacts by running around in havoc while spewing a large fireball. He then trips on a stone and loses his ability, which releases Burning Leo.
In Kirby and the Big Panic in Gloomy Woods!, Fire makes a brief appearance late in the story. When Kirby, King Dedede, and Meta Knight set out to catch the Woodkeeper in the dark Gloomy Woods, they encounter Fire Lion. King Dedede prepares to attack, but Kirby stops him, and says he has an idea of his own. Kirby inhales Fire Lion to gain the Fire ability. The flame crown on his head shines brightly, and he uses it to light the way to the Woodkeeper's hut. Noticing them, the Woodkeeper makes his small house convert into a helicopter. Kirby decides to try inhaling the flying hut. He drops his Fire ability, and Fire Lion flees.
In Kirby Meets the Squeak Squad!, Kirby and Waddle Dee discover an ancient temple. They venture deep into it and reach a room full of Copy Essences. Kirby is excited to see a room with so many of them, and touches the Fire one to gain the Fire ability. They venture further into the temple, and Kirby discovers an egg. Kirby immediately wants to cook it with his fire breath, but then they meet its mother bird, who tells them everything and trusts them to take care of the egg. Just then, Storo, Spinni, and Doc come in to steal the egg. They get into a short fight with Kirby, who spits flames at Storo and Doc to fend them off. Spinni does not want his scarf to get burnt, so he refuses to fight Kirby, and they retreat. Much later in the story, when Kirby and co. return to the temple to return the egg, they reach the Copy Essence room again, and find out that the Squeaks had been following them. Kirby remembers last time, and goes for the Fire ability again. He starts breathing flames, but forgets to pay attention to his surroundings, and almost scorches the egg. Kirby removes his ability in shock, but fortunately, the egg is fine.
In Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Start Running to the New World!, Kirby finds a Fire ability hat at the top of Lab Discovera, shortly after they leave the elevator where The Dream Discoveries Tour played. Despite Bandana Waddle Dee's worries that it could be a trap, Kirby inhales the hat and gets the Fire ability. Kirby uses the ability to battle Leongar, Fecto Forgo and Fecto Elfilis.

Trivia
- While not quite the first obtainable ability in the series, Fire is the first Copy Ability ever shown in a Kirby game, as it is the first to be demonstrated to the player in the tutorial reel for Kirby's Adventure.
- In Kirby's Adventure, it is possible for Fire Kirby to breathe fire underwater for a brief moment by swallowing Hot Head to gain the ability while underwater. This causes him to perform his automatic "demonstration" fire breath, which can defeat enemies and light fuses underwater.
- While Fire itself doesn't appear in Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Kirby's Dream Land 3, its effect is mimicked when Kirby rides Rick and uses the Burning ability.
- Rick can also use this fire breath on his own accord in Kirby Star Allies.
