'''Ranger''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that equips [[Kirby]] with a star-studded hunter's cap and a small blunderbuss that shoots stars. This ability allows Kirby to attack foes by firing at them in various ways, and also allows for very long-range attacks. The star attached to the cap works as a headlamp, but it is not confirmed if the light is significant in any way. This ability made its first (and so far only) appearance in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. At least one [[Evolved Copy Ability]] version of Ranger has been shown to be in the game, called [[Noble Ranger]].
