Inhale, copy or spit. Inhaling an enemy gives Kirby a choice: swallow an ability-bearing enemy for its power, or spit the inhaled object as a star.
Match abilities to obstacles. Sword remains usable underwater, fire-based attacks light fuses and Hammer handles heavy-impact obstacles.
Recover a dropped ability quickly. Taking damage can knock the ability out as a star.
Use museums and arenas for preparation. World-map facilities offer abilities or small challenges when unlocked.
