'''Spear''' is a [[Copy Ability]] which debuted in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' that grants Kirby a sturdy spear to jab his enemies with. Using the spear, Kirby can easily strike enemies and objects at a safe distance, as well as through walls. Spear is exceptionally useful underwater, allowing Kirby to strike in all four directions, and reach areas where most other abilities could not. Kirby can also toss his spear like a javelin, causing it to move forward, then down in an arc (and unlike the [[Hammer]] ability, Kirby will not lose the spear when doing so). When Kirby acquires the Spear ability, he gains a hat which resembles a soldier's headband. Like other abilities featuring sharp utensils, Spear is capable of cutting [[rope]]s.

Starting with ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', [[Bandana Waddle Dee]] also has a move-set largely based on the Spear ability. As such, it is often the case that Spear Kirby does not appear in a ''Kirby'' title because Bandana Waddle Dee is playable in it instead.
