A '''Last Battle Ability'''{{ForeignTitle}} is a special [[Copy Ability|ability]] used near the end of the game to defeat the final boss (or in some cases, the penultimate boss). The name and designation for most Last Battle Abilities comes from the [[Kirby Portal]] website, as they were not known to be officially considered such prior to then.

*While the term "Last Battle Ability" did not exist at the time of its release, ''[[20th Anniversary Kirby Pupupu Encyclopedia]]'' features a small section on them under the title "Special Items" (特別なアイテム). This list only includes the Star Rod, the Rainbow Sword, the Love-Love Stick, Master, and Triple Star. The text also refers to these as "Legendary Items" (伝説のアイテム); the [[Magical Paintbrush]] is referred to as a Legendary Item elsewhere in the book, despite not being a Last Battle Ability.

*''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' is the only [[Canon|main series]] game in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] to not feature a Last Battle Ability (excluding ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' due to Last Battle Abilities not existing at the time of its release).
*Since their introduction, ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' is the only [[Kirby (series)|main-series ''Kirby'' game]] so far that doesn't feature a Last Battle Ability.
*On the Kirby Portal section of Last Battle Abilities, ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' is not listed as a game where they appear. However, this is a mistake, as the video that introduces them features footage of Big-Rig Mouth.
