Cutter is aCopy Ability that grants the user the ability to throw blade boomerangs as projectiles, or strikeenemies up close with them. Typically, this ability gives the user a yellow cap with the blade embedded in the top, though other appearances of the ability may leave the user largely unchanged until they use it, with the most noteworthy outlier example being inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards (whereKirby throws a piece of himself as the boomerang). Using this ability, the user can sliceropes and foliage from a distance by steering his projectiles, or get up close and defeat foes with the devastatingFinal Cutter attack.

Cutter first appeared inKirby's Adventure, making it among the oldest Copy Abilities in the entire series. Since then, it has appeared as an ability in 19 subsequent games, making it the most ubiquitous ability in the whole series. Its primary provider is the yellow suit of armor known asSir Kibble, but many other creatures provide this ability, includingPoppy Bros. Jr. with boomerangs,Kapar, themid-bossKibble Blade, and the projectiles thrown out bySoul-form bosses that useShooter Cutter as an attack.

Characteristics[edit]

Kirby using the Cutter ability to slice a nut off a vine inKirby Star Allies.

Cutter is among the oldest and most ubiquitous Copy Abilities in theKirby series, first appearing inKirby's Adventure and reappearing in every subsequent main-series title, along with several spin-offs. In its most basic form, it gives the user the ability to throw bladed boomerang projectiles that travel a short distance in front of them before flying back. While the range forward is rather limited, if the user gets out of the way of their boomerang as it returns, it will fly past them and keep traveling until it leaves the screen or hits something. As such, it is often useful for the user to use this ability while facing away from their target in order to keep a safer distance.

Various subsequentKirby games give the Cutter ability more utility. There are several stagedevices such asropes and foliage which can be sliced using Cutter, giving the ability utility outside of simply battling foes. Most games also allow the user to steer their boomerang after throwing it, allowing them to reach otherwise difficult spots with their attacks. Games that followKirby Super Star's example add a large number of melee attacks to Cutter, allowing the user to fight up close with rapid swings of their cutter blade, finishing with the iconicFinal Cutter technique. Main-series titles starting withKirby: Squeak Squad allow the user to throw more powerful Cutter blades that pass through their targets (usually after charging up the attack). Lastly, Cutter is readily fused with other elements, producing powerful combinations such as those seen inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards andKirby Star Allies.

The Cutter Ability's most recognizable provider is the yellow suit of armor calledSir Kibble, who appears in nearly every game that Cutter is featured in. Besides him, there are many more enemies that provide the ability, and it can also be absorbed from the attacks of certain bosses, with the most notable example being theShooter Cutter projectiles.

Appearance[edit]

Obtaining Cutter in most games gives Kirby a yellow cap with two eyes similar to Kirby's own, with two white wings on their sides. When not attacking, a cutter blade stays on top of the hat; in most games, this blade is simply positioned on the hat, but sinceKirby Star Allies, the hat features a small partition on top in which the blade can be placed properly. The colors of the hat have been mostly consistent over the years, although its visor changes from being white, light yellow and yellow depending on the game or media.

Kirby's Adventure[edit]

Kirby attempting to hitPoppy Bros. Sr. with a Cutter boomerang inKirby's Adventure

Cutter's first appearance is inKirby's Adventure, making it among the oldest abilities in the series. With this ability, Kirby can throw up to three cutter blades at a time, which return like boomerangs. If Kirby jumps out of the way of his returning cutter, it will fly past him and off the screen, making this ability useful as a long-range attack from behind. Kirby takes on an orange body color for this ability, similar to many others. The cutter blades deal 4 damage.[1]

Kirby's Dream Land 2[edit]

Cutter appears again inKirby's Dream Land 2. When by himself, Cutter Kirby's attacks function the same as inKirby's Adventure. However, the attack changes character when paired up withRick,Kine, orCoo, as follows:

Animal FriendAppearanceDescription
Coo
Coo throws three feathers ahead which spread out.
Kine

Rick

ThroughoutKirby's Dream Land 2, there are specific blocks which can be broken only with the Cutter ability. They are marked with a straight line across them.

Kirby Super Star[edit]

Cutter Kirby using theFinal Cutter technique on an enemy inKirby Super Star

Cutter returns inKirby Super Star, with an expanded moveset that for the first time introduces theFinal Cutter technique, along with other close-range attacks. In addition to enemies like Sir Kibble or a boomerang-wieldingPoppy Bros. Jr., Kirby can also obtain the Cutter ability throughCopy Essences andCopy Essences Deluxe.Kirby Super Star introduced the now-familiar yellow cap with a blade on top for Kirby whenever he has this ability. Kirby can also use up his ability to conjure Sir Kibble as ahelper. Moreover, whenCopy Kirby uses Analyze Beam onChef Kawasaki during battle, Cutter is one of the possible copy abilities he can get - the others areBeam,Sword, orWing.

Kirby's Dream Land 3[edit]

When paired up, Rick can toss Kirby as a large cutter boomerang when Kirby has the Cutter ability inKirby's Dream Land 3.

Cutter appears as an ability inKirby's Dream Land 3, usable by Kirby andGooey. When by itself, Cutter's attack functions identically to how it does inKirby's Adventure, except that it can be aimed upward slightly. However, the attack changes its properties when Kirby or Gooey are paired up with one of the sixAnimal Friends, as follows:

Animal FriendAppearanceDescription

Coo
Coo throws out a single feather that can be angled in three directions.
Kine

Pitch
Pitch is thrown like a boomerang, harming enemies he touches and returning to Kirby or Gooey. Moving just right can cause Pitch to circle around Kirby or Gooey indefinitely. Kirby or Gooey cannot enterdoors until they catch the bird again.
Rick
Rick throws Kirby or Gooey like a boomerang, making them slowly fly through the air and attempt to return to the hamster. If Rick moves just right, it is possible to prevent Kirby or Gooey from returning to his back, causing them to repeatedly orbit their friend instead.

ThroughoutKirby's Dream Land 3, there are specific blocks which can be broken only with the Cutter ability. They are marked with the Cutter icon on them.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards[edit]

Kirby tossing a piece of himself as the cutter blade inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards

Cutter returns as a Copy Ability inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Here, the ability follows the same simple design philosophy as other abilities in the game, giving Kirby only one attack. However, unlike in preceding games, the ability functions a little differently here. Instead of throwing distinct blade boomerangs at his foes, Kirby throws a portion of his body as the blade, splitting himself into two distinct objects. The blade has his face on it and flies at moderate speed forward, then comes back to the rest of his body, which has for the moment been reduced to a thin stub with feet only able to walk around and jump once. Once the two pieces make contact again, Kirby returns to his normal self, which effectively means that Kirby can only throw out one blade at a time, and has limited movement options while the blade is out. Unlike cutter blades in other games, this one will home back in towards the rest of Kirby once it is done flying forward, meaning that Kirby's stub body can guide the blade on its return trip to adjust its trajectory. If the body takesdamage while the blade is out, Kirby will immediately snap back to normal as the blade disappears.

Like with the other abilities inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Cutter can be combined with itself or with another ability to create Power Combos.Doubling up on Cutter allows Kirby to throw a larger spike-covered blade, though with the same limitations as before. Combinations with other abilities produce a wide array of powers, including creating alarge flaming sword, throwingexplosive ninja stars, and evenshaping himself into stone sculptures of his Animal Friends.

Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[edit]

As it is a remake ofKirby's Adventure, Cutter naturally returns inKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, now with the hat first introduced inKirby Super Star. It retains the moveset fromKirby's Adventure.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror /Kirby: Squeak Squad[edit]

Cutter Kirby cutting a rope holding up aSparky inKirby: Squeak Squad

Cutter returns in bothKirby & The Amazing Mirror andKirby: Squeak Squad, acting much as it did inKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land and once again provided by Sir Kibble,Moley's spiked balls (and to some extent inAmazing Mirror's case,Shadow Kirby). Unlike in older games, the cutter blade can be thrown farther by holding B, and the angle of the cutter blade can be curved vertically with the + Control Pad. Notably, theFinal Cutter technique appears inKirby & The Amazing Mirror, but it is not performable using Cutter, instead being attached toSmash,Sword, andMaster.

InKirby: Squeak Squad, anAbility Scroll can be obtained for Cutter which turns the regular Cutter Boomerang attack into the "Piercing Cutter" (貫通カッター[2]), increasing the size of the cutter blade and allowing it to pass through multiple targets.

Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]

Cutter returns in theKirby Super Star remake,Kirby Super Star Ultra, largely unchanged from its appearance in the original game. Along with the returning ability-wielding enemies,Perot, a new enemy, also provides the ability when holding a boomerang. Finally, unlike inKirby Super Star, it is not possible to get Cutter from Chef Kawasaki via Copy.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land[edit]

The Cutter Copy Ability also appears inKirby's Return to Dream Land. Kirby's Cutter ability is fairly similar in appearance and functionality to how it was inKirby Super Star, though with the added ability to steer and charge the Cutter blades, much like inKirby & The Amazing Mirror andKirby: Squeak Squad respectively. The Cutter ability is used often to cut ropes at a distance to collectEnergy Spheres.

Cutter is once again provided mainly by Sir Kibble, though other sources include theJackle enemy and theKibble Blade mid-boss.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]

Cutter returns inKirby: Triple Deluxe, largely unchanged from its appearance inKirby's Return to Dream Land. Like in most titles, it is most easily obtained by swallowing Sir Kibble. However, it can also be obtained by swallowingFlowery Woods's spinning flowers. It also features as one of the abilities inKirby Fighters.

Cutter also appears as two collectibleKeychains, one using a sprite fromKirby's Dream Land 2, and another with a sprite fromKirby Super Star Ultra.

Kirby Fighters Deluxe[edit]

Cutter is one of the selectable Copy Abilities which can be used in this game. Its moveset is largely unchanged from its appearance inKirby: Triple Deluxe. Upon clearing Single Player mode with the ability once, aRare Hat that resembles Sir Kibble's helmet is unlocked.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

Cutter returns inKirby: Planet Robobot, largely unchanged from its appearance inKirby: Triple Deluxe, with the exception that Cutter Dash now travels further than before. It can now be used in tandem with theRobobot Armor to form the potentCutter Mode, which can slice giant wooden beams and chains, and deals massive damage to enemies. The ability can once again be obtained from Sir Kibble and Kibble Blade.

Kirby Battle Royale[edit]

Ah, the Cutter ability. Those slashes sure are satisfying. There's nothing like a good charge session...and a Hyper Cutter!
— Knuckle Joe's comment inKirby Battle Royale

Cutter is one of the first abilities available inKirby Battle Royale, and is also available along withSword andBeetle in thedemo version. It is distinguished from the other abilities by its blade projectiles being able to bounce off of walls and other barriers.

There are threealternate pieces of Headgear for the Cutter ability. These are the "Sir Kibble Helmet", the "Mohawk", and the "Knight Helmet".

Kirby Star Allies[edit]

By combining Cutter with the BlusterPower Effect, Sir Kibble can throw a boomerang that travels upward to clear away some foliage to solve a puzzle inKirby Star Allies.

Cutter appears again inKirby Star Allies, along withSir Kibble who can utilize its full moveset when recruited as aFriend. In this game, Cutter Kirby has access to all of the same moves as he had in the preceding main-series titles. In addition to its standard attributes, however, Cutter can be enhanced using one of the fivePower Effects, adding elemental power to the boomerangs and in some cases, altering their trajectories.

Cutter's hat receives a minor design change in this game, being the addition of a silver partition on top of it, in which its blade can be placed properly.

Kirby Fighters 2[edit]

Cutter returns inKirby Fighters 2 as a selectable ability for Kirby, unlocked after attaining aFighters Rank of 24. Its moveset is largely the same as in previous games, though damage values have been adjusted. Two Rare Hats exist for Cutter Kirby in this game: the first is the Sir Kibble Helmet fromKirby Fighters Deluxe, and the second is the Punk Mohawk, which is similar to the Mohawk headgear inKirby Battle Royale.

Kirby throwing a cutter boomerang to catch some items inKirby and the Forgotten Land

Cutter returns inKirby and the Forgotten Land andKirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World. Here, Kirby can use the blade to pick up items from afar and return them to him, making it function similarly to theboomerang inThe Legend of Zelda series. Unlike in other games in theKirby series, Cutter's boomerangs are oriented laterally rather than vertically. The Cutter ability also has twoevolutions associated with it: it can first be evolved intoChakram Cutter, allowing Kirby to wield a pair of chakrams which deal more damage and tend to curve in a direction when returning, and then intoBuzz-Saw Cutter, allowing Kirby to throw large spinning buzz saws that ricochet off walls and drag enemies with them.

This ability is one of four accessible in the game's demo. It automatically becomes Chakram Cutter once the three available stages are complete, but this can be reverted back to the original ability if the player so desires.

Kirby Air Riders[edit]

Magolor with the Cutter ability inKirby Air Riders. Note the lack of eyes on the hat.

Cutter appears inKirby Air Riders as an ability obtained from Sir Kibble. It enables the user to throw a cutter boomerang either forward or backward, shortly returning to the sender after thrown. The cutter can also be aimed diagonally to the sides. Like all other Copy Abilities in the game, all riders can use this ability, not just Kirby.

Notably, the Cutter hat in this game lacks its usual eyes, but is otherwise the same in design as past games. Unlike most other abilities in the game, which revert back to their original hat designs fromKirby Super Star, Cutter's hat keeps the part of the hat that holds the boomerang in place that was introduced inKirby Star Allies, though it is now the same color as the rest of the hat.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Main article:Final Cutter

In theSuper Smash Bros. series, Final Cutter is Kirby's up special move in all installments. It's useful for recovering, but causes Kirby to plummet off-stage if he misses the ledge. It also shoots out a projectile if Kirby lands on the ground which can lightly knock back opponents. If opponents are hit during the downswing of the blade, they will be sent flying downward at a fixed velocity.

— Meta Knight describing Cutter Kirby inThe Fofa Factor

In the anime seriesKirby: Right Back at Ya!, the Cutter ability makes its first appearance inThe Fofa Factor, whenKirby obtains it from themonsterSlice n' Splice. The ability functions largely the same in the anime as it does in the games, though its ability to cleave through objects is highly exaggerated.

Unlike many of the other abilities, Cutter has a limited amount of screen time. InThe Flower Plot, Kirby uses the blade to quickly fellLovely in a slice done off-camera.

In theKirby novel series, the Cutter ability appears inKirby and the Dangerous Gourmet Mansion?!, whereKirby obtains it fromSir Kibble, makes minor appearances inKirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!,Kirby Fighters: The Destined Rivals!! andKirby: Lor Starcutter and a Magician of Falsehood, and one of itsEvolved Copy Abilities appear inKirby and the Forgotten Land: Break Out of the Dreams of the Isolated Isles!. With thisCopy Ability, Kirby can use moves such as Cutter Boomerang, Hyper Boomerang and Cleaving Cutter.

InKirby and the Dangerous Gourmet Mansion?!, when Kirby,King Dedede, andMeta Knight are on their quest to save the kidnappedMrs. Parfaitski, they come across a small ravine. The three notice a bridge, and attempt to cross it. Before they can, a sharp blade suddenly flies out, and cuts the rope holding the suspension bridge, causing it to fall into the ravine. Sir Kibble reveals himself, and attempts to attack the group with more of his boomerang-like blades. Kirby drops theWheel ability he previously had, which releasesWheelie. Kirby theninhales Sir Kibble to get the Cutter ability. Kirby throws the blade on his head at the tallest, thickest tree he could find to cut it down. The tree falls down and reaches the other side of the ravine, allowing the group to use it as a bridge. Wheelie is forced to lead the way. When the group reaches a cave, Wheelie requests that Kirby releases Sir Kibble so they can explain why they had kidnapped Mrs. Parfaitski. Kirby complies, and drops his Cutter ability to release a dazed and angered Sir Kibble.

InKirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!, the Cutter ability makes a minor appearance as one of the many copy abilities held by the Kirby clones created by theKirby Printer. It also makes a minor appearance inKirby Fighters: The Destined Rivals!!, where it's one of the abilities used byShadow Kirby on his final battle with Kirby. After his defeat, a piece of his cutter blade is used byBandana Waddle Dee to make a spear out of the staff he had gotten from a Kirby clone during a previous battle. The ability also makes a minor appearance inKirby: Lor Starcutter and a Magician of Falsehood, where Kirby uses it to battle againstLandia.

InKirby and the Forgotten Land: Break Out of the Dreams of the Isolated Isles!, while the base Cutter ability does not make a proper appearance, its Evolved Copy AbilityBuzz-Saw Cutter appears at the end of the novel. It is given to Kirby byWeapons-Shop Waddle Dee shortly before the battle withChaos Elfilis, and Kirby uses said ability to battle it.
