The '''Invincible Candy''',<ref>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby: Planet Robobot|type=digital}}<br>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby: Triple Deluxe|type=digital}}<br>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby's Dream Collection|page=8}}</ref> formerly known as '''Candy''',<ref>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby Super Star Ultra|page=21}}<br>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby & The Amazing Mirror|page=27}}<br>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby: Squeak Squad|page=23}}<br>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby Air Ride|page=24}}<br>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby Dream Land|page=13}}</ref> is a special item found in most games of the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It is a rare item that resembles a glowing lollipop with a star. While the Invincible Candy is a lollipop, it is not technically [[food]], as it does not recover any [[Stamina|health]].

The Invincible Candy makes [[Kirby]], his [[helper]](s), or other playable character(s) temporarily invincible when eaten, enabling them to harm enemies and bosses without taking damage, as well as moving through hazards like spikes unharmed. The Invincible Candy also has a distinctive [[Invincible Candy (theme from Kirby's Dream Land)|theme]] associated with it. However, the invincibility wears off after a few seconds, and it does not protect Kirby from falling into a [[bottomless pit]] or being [[crusher|crushed]]. In various multiplayer games starting with ''Kirby Super Star'', its effect can be shared with Kirby's allies for a short time by [[Face-to-Face]].

==Game appearances==
===''Kirby's Dream Land''===
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' the Candy makes Kirby invincible for a short time. He will flash, surrounded by small stars. The effects are carried over between rooms and on the [[Warp Star]]; however, there are no situations in which the effects of the Candy last after taking the Warp Star. Making contact with a foe triggers hitlag. The Candy can be consumed by simply touching it or inhaling it from afar, in which case Kirby automatically swallows anything he may have inhaled. The effects of the Candy do not protect Kirby from [[bottomless pit]]s.

Candy can only be found in [[Castle Lololo]].

===''Kirby's Adventure'' / ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===
In ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', Invincible Candy can be found dispersed across some stages in the game or, exclusively in the former, tossed to Kirby by [[Meta Knight]] in select stages, usually placed in locations where the player is encouraged to use the candy to safely run across straightforward sections filled with different types of enemies. Invincible Candy can be inhaled from a distance and makes the user immune to hazards, foes and projectiles, albeit while slowing down due to hitlag; the user is still vulnerable to bottomless pits and crushing. These effects are referred to as "Hyper", or {{furi|無敵|むてき}} (''Muteki'', "Invincible") in the Japanese version. In the remake's multiplayer mode, Kirbys can share the Candy via [[Face-to-Face]].

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-KA|VV4=y|BB5=y|GG5=y|OO6=y|RR3=y}}

===''Kirby's Pinball Land''===
In ''[[Kirby's Pinball Land]]'' Candy behaves similarly to [[Apple]]s. Coming in contact with it consumes it without knocking Kirby back and grants the player 3000 points.

===''Kirby's Dream Course''===
[[File:KDC Name entry screen.png|thumb|250px|Name entry screen.]]
Despite not appearing in the game proper, in ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'' Invincible Candy can be picked as a stamp template when customizing a new player's icon.

===''Kirby's Block Ball''===
In ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]'' the Candy is treated as regular food that can be dropped by a foe when it's defeated. Candy gives 1500 points when consumed.

===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|remake]], Kirby (or Meta Knight in [[Meta Knightmare Ultra]]) can share the effects of the Candy with a [[Helper]] via Face-to-Face shortly after it is consumed. The duration of the Candy's effect if received by Face-to-Face depends on the remaining duration it has on the player who has obtained the Candy first. The effects don't carry over to new helpers. Notably, the user now speeds up in addition to becoming invulnerable; however, it can only be consumed by making direct contact. When getting the [[Mix]] ability, Kirby has the option to land on a "Super" icon, or {{furi|無敵|むてき}} (''Muteki'', "Invincible") in the Japanese version, which triggers the effects of the Candy at any point in the current stage. The same is true in the remake, where the effect is referred to by the name of the object, "Invincible Candy". However, while regular foes and [[Mid-Boss]]es can be damaged by an Invincible Kirby or Helper, larger [[Boss]]es are immune to the Candy's effects.

Additionally, Kirby can be seen carrying Invincible Candy among food items in the save file select's image for [[Gourmet Race]].

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-KSS|FI=y|PeP=y|CM=y|RoMK4=y|RoMK6=y|S=y|Hb=y|Ca=y|M=y|II=y}}

===''Kirby's Dream Land 3''===
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' the Invincible Candy gives both Kirby and [[Gooey]] (if he was present when it was consumed) a trail when moving and a glowing effect with stars and bubbles, as well as the ability to defeat foes and destroy Star Blocks upon contact. Summoning Gooey after consuming the Candy will not transfer the effects onto him. However, mounting an [[Animal Friend]] will give the effects to them for as long as they would last normally or until they are dismounted.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-KDL3|G1=y|G4=y|R1=y|R5=y|S4=y|C1=y}}

===''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''===
This game was the first to give the Invincible Candy a unique, original track instead of the usual remix of its theme from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. Like in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', Kirby once again is able to destroy Star Blocks and plow through enemies by simply touching them while under the effects of the Invincible Candy. Unlike in most games, the effects do not carry over from room to room. Notably, Kirby's appearance when using the candy features him being surrounded by stars, instead of flashing different colors like in previous titles.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-K64|A2=y|N1=y|Ri2=y}}

===''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble''===
In ''[[Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble]]'', Invincible Candy temporarily makes Kirby impervious to enemies, allowing him to roll right through them.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-KTnT|1-3=y|2-1=y|2-3=y|4-3=y|5-1=y|5-3=y|6-2=y|8-1=y|8-2=y|8-3=ex}}

===''Kirby Air Ride''===
In ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', Candy appears only in the [[Top Ride]] and [[City Trial]] modes. In both modes, it makes Kirby's [[Air Ride Machine]] impervious to all attacks, items, and hazards. It may also appear in the [[Stadium]] modes [[Destruction Derby]] and [[Vs. King Dedede]]. Notably, Candy does not play its signature theme, rather a whooshing sound will play to alert other players. Like its other appearances, the Candy will make the player flash and have stars surround them as well.

===''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''===
In ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', the Invincible Candy works much like in ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''. The newly introduced [[Magic]] copy ability has a chance to provide the user invincibility via a roulette in which the Candy is depicted. [[Shadow Kirby]] may also drop an Invincible Candy once defeated.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following rooms:

===''Kirby: Canvas Curse''===
In ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', the Invincible Candy appears as one of the possible drawings in the [[Paint Panic]] [[Sub-Game]].

===''Kirby: Squeak Squad''===
[[File:KSqS 100% Save File.png|thumb|250px|Invincible Candy can be seen among other goodies when selecting a save file.]]
The Invincible Candy retains all of its properties from the ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'', including the chance of getting an invincible effect from [[Magic]]'s roulette. Additionally, in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', Invincible Candy can be stored in [[Bubble (container)|bubbles]] and is obtainable with the ? bubble roulette. [[Storo]] also has a chance of dropping Invincible Candy when attacked.

Unlike in ''Kirby Super Star'' and its remake, Invincible Candy is an effective way to defeat any boss in the game.

Invincible Candy can be seen in a save file's icon next to the chest after 51 or more chests have been collected in said save file.

Invicible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-KSqS|PP4=y|NNEX=y|VV4=y|II1=y|GG1=y}}

===''Kirby Mass Attack''===
In ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', the Invincible Candy is replaced by the [[Jumbo Candy]] and cannot be found under normal circumstances. However, upon getting a [[Game Over]] three times in a row in the same stage, said stage will offer a regular Invincible Candy at the start. Unlike Jumbo Candy, the Invincible Candy will not make the Kirbys increase in size. Like in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', this game also has a unique Invincible Candy theme.

===''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''===
In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', the Invincible Candy retains its properties from ''Kirby Super Star'', ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' and ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', speeding up its user and making the character invulnerable to everything the game has to offer with the exception of bottomless pits and crushing. While under the effects of the Invincible Candy, the user and their health bar glow in the colors of the rainbow. Notably, this game features the fastest-paced version of the Candy's theme.

Additionally, the Invincible Candy is one of the possible book covers in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''{{'}}s [[Magolor's Tome Trackers]] Sub-Game.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-KRtDL|CC2=y|CC4=y|RR1=y|OO4=y|EE1=y|DD2=dx}}

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
In the main playable modes of ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', the Invincible Candy's effects are unaltered from ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.

Additionally, there is a [[keychain]] picturing the Invincible Candy as seen in ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-KTD|FF4=y|OO4=y|EE1=y}}

===''Kirby Fighters'' series===
In the [[Kirby Fighters (series)|Kirby Fighters series]], the Invincible Candy does not speed up the user nor damage opponents upon contact, though it still makes anyone who picks it up invincible for a short duration. In the latter two games, it can even be shared via Face-to-Face in Team Battles.

===''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse''===
In ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'', when using the Candy, Kirby's speed is increased just like in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''. Kirby can also use a [[Star Dash]] at any time while under its effects. When the Candy's effects are about to end, an audio cue is present to alert the player of such. Like in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'', the effects do not carry over between rooms. This is the only game to have several of these lollipops within a single stage. Notably, the Candy is the only item that can help Kirby defeat the otherwise unbeatable [[Dethskullk]]s and the [[Dethskullk King]], which is why it is more commonly dispersed across the stage [[The Haunted Ship]].

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
In ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', the Invincible Candy works like it did in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-KPR|PP4=y|OO4=y|AA1=y}}

===''Kirby Star Allies''===
In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', Invincible Candy preserves its ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' properties. In addition, a special effect happens when acquiring some Invincible Candy while riding the [[Friend Star]]. The pause screen lists this effect as a move called "Shooting Star", and it allows the Friend Star to plow through enemies, metal blocks, and fragile walls by simply moving into them.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-KSA|FFo=y|RR=y|PE=y|GrM=y}}

===''Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn''===
While Invincible Candy cannot be found in ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]'', it is pictured on the [[Furniture#Devilish Mode items|Daily Calendar]] and can be seen upon the eighth consecutive [[Yarn Whip]] used on it.

===''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''===
[[File:KatFL Circuit Speedway screenshot 05.png|thumb|250px|When Kirby is under the effect of Invincible Candy, he can defeat strong enemies like [[Wild Edge]] by simply touching them.]]
In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', Invincible Candy works much like its predecessors, albeit now being shared with a high-five rather than Face-to-Face.

Invincible Candy is also the primary object of the [[Sweet Success! Invincible Rampage]] [[Treasure Road]].

Notably, the final [[Mouthful Mode]] segment of the main game ([[Big-Rig Mouth]] during the [[Fecto Elfilis]] fight) plays "[[A Full-Speed Farewell from the New World]]", which incorporates the Invincible Candy theme and even uses the term {{furi|無敵|むてき}} ("invincible") in its Japanese name ({{furi|無敵|むてき}}にGOODBYE NEW WORLD！).

Additionally, one of the collectible figures from Vol. 1 features an Invincible Candy.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following stages:
{{Appearances-KatFL|N4=y|Wo2=y|Wi2=y|F5=y}}

===''Kirby's Dream Buffet''===
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', an Invincible Candy can rarely appear in Food Boxes, though higher priority is given to players near the bottom of the standings. Like in the rest of the series, anyone using the candy is made temporarily invulnerable to hazards for a few seconds, and during this time, if the player manages to send an opponent flying off the stage in a Battle Royale, the opponent(s) will briefly [[Fourth wall|get stuck on the screen before sliding down it]].

Additionally, a [[Character Treat]] of the Invincible Candy appears using its artwork from ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Invincible Candy appears as a [[Smashwiki:List of stickers (Kirby series)|sticker]] which adds +4 damage to R.O.B.'s "Specials: Direct" attacks. It is unclear exactly which attacks are boosted by this sticker.

==Music==
[[File:KDL Invincible.mp3|thumb|right|The very first "Invincible Candy" theme from ''Kirby's Dream Land''.]]
{{main|Invincible Candy (theme from Kirby's Dream Land)}}
{{main|Invincible Candy (theme from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)}}
{{main|Kirby Collecting}}
While Kirby is under the effect of an Invincible Candy, a special musical theme plays, which can be heard in nearly every game that includes the Candy. ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' and ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' are the only games to have a different Invincible Candy theme than the recurring one. When the Invincible Candy is consumed in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', no special theme is played at all.
