Unlike the [[Stone]] ability, the Metal ability is always active. In its base form, it has only one move - "Ground Pound" - which allows Kirby to pound down [[stake]]s and break through [[block|metal blocks]] beneath him. If the [[Ability Scroll]] for Metal is obtained, Metal Kirby is granted a second move called "Metal Ball Form". This new move turns Kirby into a smooth metal ball when activated, allowing him to roll down hills much more quickly than he would otherwise be able to move.

Metal is a Copy Ability similar to the Stone ability introduced (and so far solely appearing) in Kirby: Squeak Squad. Metal Kirby retains his basic body plan, but has been totally transformed into metal, gaining angular features and a sleek silver appearance, though his cheek blush is still pink. When in ball form, he becomes completely smooth. Unlike the Stone power, Kirby can move around, jump (albeit much shorter jumps), and hover (very slowly). While Kirby is immune to most kinds of damage in this form (barring specific attacks, such as Daroach's "Ice Laser" attack), he cannot revert back to normal unless the copy ability is discarded. It can only be accessed by inhaling a Metalun, a Big Metalun or by touching a Copy Essence.

Unlike the Stone ability, the Metal ability is always active. In its base form, it has only one move - "Ground Pound" - which allows Kirby to pound down stakes and break through metal blocks beneath him. If the Ability Scroll for Metal is obtained, Metal Kirby is granted a second move called "Metal Ball Form". This new move turns Kirby into a smooth metal ball when activated, allowing him to roll down hills much more quickly than he would otherwise be able to move.

So far, Metal has only appeared as a proper Copy Ability in Kirby: Squeak Squad. Metal Kirby's last appearance was in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, where a keychain of his sprite could be collected.
