Ice is among the oldest copy abilities in Kirby's arsenal, and serves as a natural counterpart to [[Fire]], appearing in a similar number of games to that ability and having its own on and off again partner in the form of the Freeze ability. In its simplest form, the Ice ability allows Kirby to breathe a cone of ice at his opponents to freeze them solid. While Ice's breath attack cannot be controlled as finely as Fire's, the secondary effect is that Kirby can kick enemies he freezes to make them slide forward, potentially defeating other enemies they collide with. Using this ice breath also allows Kirby to cool down fiery hazards like magma blocks, or in ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'', freeze the surface of water | Ice is among the oldest copy abilities in Kirby's arsenal, and serves as a natural counterpart to [[Fire]], appearing in a similar number of games to that ability and having its own on and off again partner in the form of the Freeze ability.

Ice's moveset would expand in a number of ways starting with ''Kirby Super Star'', but it would not drift too far from its fundamental character. One notable visual update has Ice Kirby skating along the ground when [[dash]]ing as opposed to using his regular run. In addition, he gains the ability to use the defensive aura attack characteristic of the Freeze ability, swallow foes and then spit them back out as ice balls, and even encase himself in ice for defense. In ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'', Ice Kirby even gains the ability to conjure pillars of ice to block his opponents' way. Ice can also be combined easily with other powers and allies, as seen with his [[Animal Friend]] pairings, the [[Power Combo]]s in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', and granting the Blizzard [[Power Effect]] to friends in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. | Ice's moveset would expand in a number of ways starting with ''Kirby Super Star'', but it would not drift too far from its fundamental character.
