Listed below are the glitches inKirby Super Star Ultra. Please read theGlitch Disclaimer Notes before attempting any of the glitches on this page.

List of glitches[edit]

Ability item teleportation[edit]

To do this glitch,Kirby must have a helper and aCopy Ability of his own and play inDyna Blade.

Kirby must go to the fifth room ofCocoa Cave and enter the one-block-deep hole. Having the helper position itself properly to avoid transforming, Kirby should face a wall and turn his ability into an ability item. Upon making contact with the platform above the hole, the ability item will quickly move in the direction it was tossed.^[1]

Hyper Waddle Doo glitch[edit]

To do this,Kirby must have either theCopy orBombCopy Abilities and play inMilky Way Wishes.

Kirby must go to PlanetSkyhigh and reach the room with theParasol Waddle Dee andParasol Waddle Doo, entering from the door on the right. Kirby must then use either Copy's Analyze Beam to getParasol from the Parasol Waddle Doo and hit it with the parasol's active hitbox or throw a bomb at it with the Bomb ability. In order for the glitch to work, the Waddle Doo must land on the middle platform after getting hit and losing itsParasol. If done correctly, the now parasol-lessWaddle Doo will start moving at much higher speeds than usual and will build up even more speed over time until it eventually falls through the middle of the room.^[2]

Helper Phase glitch[edit]

To do this glitch,Kirby must have a helper and play inMilky Way Wishes.

Kirby needs to go to planetMekkai, and spawn ahelper. Once Kirby and the helper get to the room with the wind, go to the left of that room, and the helper should begin walking against the wind, then turn left and right at a speed comparable to the Waddle Doo involved in the above Hyper Waddle Doo glitch. The helper will then do a normal attack, slide back, walk forward, face left and right quickly, repeat. This may not work with every helper.^[3]

Meta boosting[edit]

InMeta Knightmare Ultra, if a helper is summoned whileMeta Knight attacks, the attacks's animation is cancelled while preserving its momentum (horizontal or vertical, depending on the frame it is cancelled on). This allows Meta Knight to travel farther distances than he would normally be able to.^[4]

Scarfy inhale[edit]

IfWing Kirby uses the Toss attack on aScarfy and quickly gets rid of hisCopy Ability, he is able to inhale the Scarfy while it's stunned, allowing him to get theCrash ability without usingCopy.^[5]This glitch is unchanged fromKirby Super Star.

Suplex crash glitch[edit]

While using theSuplexability, if Kirby grabs theBomber right before it falls intoChef Kawasaki's boss room in thePeanut Plains stage inDyna Blade and then the player presses B after Kirby lands, the game will crash after the Bomber is defeated.

Wing zip[edit]

This glitch can only be performed in the Japanese version of the game. While using theWing ability, if Kirby takesdamage from a high-knockback source such as an enemy bomb orGordo while in the process of canceling a Dive-Bomb attack, and stays airborne for long enough while in the hurt animation, he will suddenly gain tremendous upward speed, and be able to pass through solid objects like walls and ceilings. While moving upward in this state, Kirby can maintain it by using Feather Gun or stop it early by flapping his wings. This glitch is extremely useful for performing skips inspeedruns. The timing is somewhat tricky in real time, which creates a high risk/reward factor, but it can be performed with ease in tool-assisted speedruns. It can be performed in Peanut Plains andMallow Castle in the Dyna Blade game mode, inOld Tower inThe Great Cave Offensive, and inHotbeat andHalfmoon in Milky Way Wishes.^[6][7]

InMeta Knightmare Ultra,Meta Knight is capable of performing a variation of the Wing zip in Hotbeat. After Meta boosting upwards, Meta Knight must take damage, causing him to fall onto and into the otherwise solid lava. However, this version of the glitch has fewer practical uses.^[4]
