| “ | Hey, Kirby!Evolved Copy Abilities areextra powerful, aren't they? They all have unique qualities too. Try experimenting withdifferent abilities when you fight! | ” | — Elfilin, regardingEvolved Copy Abilities inKirby and the Forgotten Land |
Evolved Copy Abilities refer to a set of upgradedCopy Abilities whichKirby can acquire and utilize inKirby and the Forgotten Land and itsNintendo Switch 2 Edition. In order to obtain these abilities, Kirby needs to find the appropriateBlueprints and a certain amount ofRare Stones andStar Coins to then take toWaddle Dee's Weapons Shop, whereWeapons-Shop Waddle Dee will then upgrade the abilities using his tools. Once an Evolved Copy Ability is obtained, it will appear in place of the typical ability Kirby gets from swallowing enemies or usingCopy Essences. If Kirby wants to revert to a previous form, he can do so at Waddle Dee's Weapons Shop. Evolved Copy Abilities (along with the base ones) can also be powered-up once story mode is completed by using more Star Coins and Rare Stones (details can be found on theWaddle Dee's Weapons Shop page).
Each of the base Copy Abilities inKirby and the Forgotten Land can be evolved at least once, withSword andHammer in particular having three distinct evolved forms. Each evolved ability gains a unique name and appearance, and may also gain new moves along with having its damage and properties altered. None of the evolved abilities are required to complete the game or to solve any specific stage puzzles, but obtaining all of the abilities is a requirement for100% completion, and are also needed to fulfill certainmissions and unlock certainTreasure Road stages.
