'''Spark''' is a recurring [[Copy Ability]] in the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby'' series]]'' that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and has since been established as one of Kirby's most iconic and common abilities, alongside powers like [[Fire]] and [[Ice]], particularly due to being among the few abilities to appear in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' and ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. Kirby can absorb this power by [[Inhale|inhaling]] enemies such as [[Sparky]], [[Elec]], [[Dubior]], or eating projectiles from certain enemies and bosses. When Kirby gains the Spark ability, he typically gains a gold tiara with a large circular blue gem at the crest, topped by frizzy blue electric waves.

[[File:KDCSparkKirby.png]] Spark returns in ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'', where it can be obtained from [[Sparky]], or [[Transformer]] (in the 2-player mode only). With it Kirby surrounds itself with electricity until he stops moving, which can be used to defeat [[Whispy Woods]] and [[Kracko]], and it is the only way to defeat them. Unlike the other abilities, Spark does not provide any movement changes.

[[File:KDL3 Spark Kirby sprite.png]] Spark makes another appearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''; yet again, being provided by by Sparky, [[Bobin]], and the yellow staff-wielding [[Bukiset]]. It functions similarly to its previous appearance in ''Kirby's Dream Land 2''. New Animal Friends, though, create more Spark-related abilities with Kirby or [[Gooey]], as follows:

In ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', Spark's main function was changed. Instead of only covering an area around him, a smaller area is covered, while firing a lightning of electricity above Kirby. If Kirby keeps using Spark while in mid-air, he will hover in place.

*Although the Thunderbolt and Lightning Strike moves were removed from the ability's moveset in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', data for both of them still exists within the game, with both moves being fully usable through hacking. On top of that, the game also contains data for Light-Speed Dash, a move that wouldn't be introduced until ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', there being part of the [[Plasma]] ability's moveset.<ref>[[tcrf:Kirby: Triple Deluxe#Spark|The Cutting Room Floor article]] detailing the unused moves of Spark within the data of ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''.</ref>
*Although the Thunderbolt and Lightning Strike moves were removed from the ability's moveset in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', data for both of them still exists within the game, with both moves being fully usable through hacking. These moves would later return in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', functioning mostly as expected.

*The Spark-Nago combination from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' is one of very few instances where an elemental Copy Ability can be used underwater, since the static electricity generated does not vanish once hitting the water.
