- This article is about the Copy Ability. For the hazard in Kirby: Canvas Curse and Template:KatRC KatRP, see Laser (hazard).
Laser is an occasionally-occurring Copy Ability traditionally obtained by swallowing enemies like Laser Ball and Metal Guardian. It allows Kirby to fire laser beams which can quickly strike opponents from a distance for moderate damage. Kirby can only fire these beams horizontally, but in every game it appears, the Laser shot ricochets off of slanted terrain, which is useful for solving puzzles, such as striking Bomb Blocks overhead. The ability can also be used to light cannon fuses, even those that are underwater, which is the intended solution for a particular puzzle in the Orange Ocean level in Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. When obtaining this ability, Kirby gains a pair of futuristic goggles with an unevenly large glass reticle inset, which he briefly lowers over his eyes when he is ready to shoot a laser. In Kirby's Adventure, however, Kirby shoots this laser from his hand instead.
Game appearances
Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
In Kirby's Adventure, the debut game of this ability, Laser Kirby fires laser beams from his hand.
Laser Kirby's headgear, introduced in the remake Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, is similar to the one worn by Copy Kirby.
Each Laser shot deals 3 damage in both games.[1][2]
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
The Laser ability appears in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror with the exact same sprites and properties of the Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land version.
Each Laser shot deals only 2 damage in this game[3], rather weak compared to other ability's powers. Many enemies will take multiple Laser shots to be defeated. The Laser ability can be obtained from Laser Ball and its larger equivalent, Metal Guardian.
The Laser beam's color matches Kirby's own color which can be changed with Spray Paint.
Kirby: Squeak Squad
The Laser ability's last apperance is in Kirby: Squeak Squad. It still remains the sprites, properties and custom color mechanics from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror.
After obtaining its Ability Scroll, Laser Kirby can charge his shot into a bigger and more powerful beam that can pass through multiple targets. Here, Laser can also be gained from the bubble item and the laser pointer dropped by Doc.
