Many Copy Abilities have different attacks for direction, dash, jump and held inputs. The pause screen is the quickest way to learn more than the basic attack for a newly copied power.

Use Super Abilities on marked obstacles

Glowing enemies provide temporary Super Abilities. Their oversized attacks break designated obstacles and often reveal portals, so sweep the room before letting the power expire.

Cooperative characters

Choose partners by their fixed toolkit

Player one is Kirby; additional players can use other Kirbys, King Dedede, Meta Knight or Bandana Waddle Dee. The named partners have fixed weapon styles rather than Kirby’s normal copying cycle.

Separate this release from Deluxe

Mecha and Sand abilities, Merry Magoland and the Magolor Epilogue are Switch additions. The Wii game has its own sub-games and challenge structure, so those features are not missing unlocks here.
