TheInvincible Candy,^[1] formerly known asCandy^[2] orInvincibility Candy,^[3] is a special item found in most games of theKirby series. It is a rare item that resembles a glowing lollipop with a star. While the Invincible Candy is a lollipop, it is not technicallyfood, as it does not recover anyhealth.

The Invincible Candy makesKirby, hishelper(s), or other playable character(s) temporarily invincible when eaten, enabling them to harm enemies and bosses without taking damage, as well as moving through hazards like spikes unharmed. The Invincible Candy also has a distinctivetheme associated with it. However, the invincibility wears off after a few seconds, and it does not protect Kirby from falling into abottomless pit or beingcrushed. In various multiplayer games starting withKirby Super Star, its effect can be shared with Kirby's allies for a short time byFeed Me.

Game appearances[edit]

Kirby's Dream Land[edit]

InKirby's Dream Land, the Candy makes Kirby invincible for a short time. He will flash, surrounded by small stars. The effects are carried over between rooms and on theWarp Star; however, there are no situations in which the effects of the Candy last after taking the Warp Star. Making contact with a foe triggers hitlag. The Candy can be consumed by simply touching it or inhaling it from afar, in which case Kirby automatically swallows anything he may have inhaled. The effects of the Candy do not protect Kirby frombottomless pits.

Candy can only be found inCastle Lololo.

Kirby's Adventure /Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[edit]

InKirby's Adventure andKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Invincible Candy can be found dispersed across some stages in the game or, exclusively in the former, tossed to Kirby byMeta Knight in select stages, usually placed in locations where the player is encouraged to use the candy to safely run across straightforward sections filled with different types of enemies. Invincible Candy can be inhaled from a distance and makes the user immune to hazards, foes and projectiles, albeit while slowing down due to hitlag; the user is still vulnerable to bottomless pits and crushing. These effects are referred to as "Hyper", or無敵むてき (Muteki, "Invincible") in the Japanese version. In the remake's multiplayer mode, Kirbys can share the Candy viaFeed Me.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

Invincible Candy locations inKirby's Adventure andKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Stage	Stage 1	Stage 2	Stage 3	Stage 4	Stage 5	Stage 6	Stage 7
Vegetable Valley						N/A	N/A
Ice Cream Island							N/A
Butter Building
Grape Garden
Yogurt Yard
Orange Ocean
Rainbow Resort

Kirby's Pinball Land[edit]

InKirby's Pinball Land, Candy behaves similarly toApples. Coming in contact with it consumes it without knocking Kirby back and grants the player 3000 points.

Kirby's Dream Course[edit]

Despite not appearing inKirby's Dream Course proper, Invincible Candy can be picked as a stamp template when customizing a new player's icon.

Kirby's Block Ball[edit]

InKirby's Block Ball, the Candy is treated as regular food that can be dropped by a foe when it's defeated. Candy gives 1500 points when consumed.

Kirby Super Star /Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]

InKirby Super Star and itsremake, Kirby (or Meta Knight inMeta Knightmare Ultra) can share the effects of the Candy with aHelper via Feed Me shortly after it is consumed. The duration of the Candy's effect if received by Feed Me depends on the remaining duration it has on the player who has obtained the Candy first. The effects don't carry over to new helpers. Notably, the user now speeds up in addition to becoming invulnerable; however, it can only be consumed by making direct contact. When getting theMix ability, Kirby has the option to land on a "Super" icon, or無敵むてき (Muteki, "Invincible") in the Japanese version, which triggers the effects of the Candy at any point in the current stage. The same is true in the remake, where the effect is referred to by the name of the object, "Invincible Candy". However, while regular foes andmid-bosses can be damaged by an Invincible Kirby or Helper, largerBosses are immune to the Candy's effects.

Additionally, Kirby can be seen carrying Invincible Candy among food items in the save file select's image forGourmet Race.

Kirby's Dream Land 3[edit]

InKirby's Dream Land 3, the Invincible Candy gives both Kirby andGooey (if he was present when it was consumed) a trail when moving and a glowing effect with stars and bubbles, as well as the ability to defeat foes and destroy Star Blocks upon contact. Summoning Gooey after consuming the Candy will not transfer the effects onto him. However, mounting anAnimal Friend will give the effects to them for as long as they would last normally or until they are dismounted.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

Invincible Candy locations inKirby's Dream Land 3
Stage	Stage 1	Stage 2	Stage 3	Stage 4	Stage 5	Stage 6	Stage 7

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards[edit]

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards was the first to give the Invincible Candy a unique,original track instead of the usual remix of its theme fromKirby's Dream Land. Like inKirby's Dream Land 3, Kirby once again is able to destroy Star Blocks and plow through enemies by simply touching them while under the effects of the Invincible Candy. Unlike in most games, the effects do not carry over from room to room. Notably, Kirby's appearance when using the candy features him being surrounded by stars, instead of flashing different colors like in previous titles.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby Air Ride[edit]

InKirby Air Ride, Candy appears only in theTop Ride andCity Trial modes. In both modes, it makes Kirby'sAir Ride Machine impervious to all attacks, items, and hazards. It may also appear in theStadium modesDestruction Derby andVS. King Dedede. Notably, Candy does not play its signature theme, rather a whooshing sound will play to alert other players. Like its other appearances, the Candy will make the player flash and have stars surround them as well.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror[edit]

InKirby & The Amazing Mirror, the Invincible Candy works much like inKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. The newly introducedMagic copy ability has a chance to provide the user invincibility via a roulette in which the Candy is depicted.Shadow Kirby may also drop an Invincible Candy once defeated.

Despite Invincible Candy effects being hypothetically transferable to any room, boss rooms cancel out the effects of both the Candy and the invincibility granted by the Magic roulette.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following rooms:

Invincible Candy locations inKirby & The Amazing Mirror
Rainbow Route	Moonlight Mansion	Cabbage Cavern	Mustard Mountain	Carrot Castle	Olive Ocean	Peppermint Palace	Radish Ruins	Candy Constellation	Dimension Mirror
Room 18 (Chest) Room 25	Room 8		Room 8				Room 4

Kirby: Canvas Curse[edit]

InKirby: Canvas Curse, the Invincible Candy appears as one of the possible drawings in thePaint Panic Sub-Game.

Kirby: Squeak Squad[edit]

Invincible Candy can be seen among other goodies when selecting a save file.

InKirby: Squeak Squad, the Invincible Candy retains all of its properties fromKirby & The Amazing Mirror, including the chance of getting an invincible effect fromMagic's roulette. Additionally, Invincible Candy can be stored inbubbles and is obtainable with the ? bubble roulette.Storo also has a chance of dropping Invincible Candy when attacked.

Unlike inKirby Super Star and its remake, Invincible Candy is an effective way to defeat any boss in the game.

Invincible Candy can be seen in a save file's icon next to the chest after 51 or more chests have been collected in said save file.

Invicible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby Mass Attack[edit]

InKirby Mass Attack, the Invincible Candy is replaced by theJumbo Candy and cannot be found under normal circumstances. However, upon getting aGame Over three times in a row in the same stage, said stage will offer a regular Invincible Candy at the start. Unlike Jumbo Candy, the Invincible Candy will not make the Kirbys increase in size. Like inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards, this game also has a unique Invincible Candy theme.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land /Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]

InKirby's Return to Dream Land andKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, the Invincible Candy retains its properties fromKirby Super Star,Kirby & The Amazing Mirror andKirby Super Star Ultra, speeding up its user and making the character invulnerable to everything the game has to offer with the exception of bottomless pits and crushing. While under the effects of the Invincible Candy, the user and their health bar glow in the colors of the rainbow. Notably, this game features the fastest-paced version of the Candy's theme.

Additionally, the Invincible Candy is one of the possible book covers inKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'sMagolor's Tome Trackers Sub-Game.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby Fighters series[edit]

In theKirby Fighters series, the Invincible Candy does not speed up the user nor damage opponents upon contact, though it still makes anyone who picks it up invincible for a short duration. In the latter two games, it can even be shared via Feed Me in Team Battles.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse[edit]

InKirby and the Rainbow Curse, when using the Candy, Kirby's speed is increased just like inKirby's Return to Dream Land and inKirby: Triple Deluxe. Kirby can also use aStar Dash at any time while under its effects. When the Candy's effects are about to end, an audio cue is present to alert the player of such. Like inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards, the effects do not carry over between rooms. This is the only game to have several of these lollipops within a single stage. Notably, the Candy is the only item that can help Kirby defeat the otherwise unbeatableDethskullks and theDethskullk King, which is why it is more commonly dispersed across the stageThe Haunted Ship.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following levels and stages:

Invincible Candy locations inKirby and the Rainbow Curse
Green Valley	Yellow Dunes	Indigo Ocean	Blue Sky Palace	Orange Woodland	Red Volcano	Purple Fortress

Kirby Star Allies[edit]

InKirby Star Allies, Invincible Candy preserves itsKirby's Return to Dream Land properties. In addition, a special effect happens when acquiring some Invincible Candy while riding theFriend Star. The pause screen lists this effect as a move called "Shooting Star", and it allows the Friend Star to plow through enemies, metal blocks, and fragile walls by simply moving into them.

Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn[edit]

While Invincible Candy cannot be found inKirby's Extra Epic Yarn, it is pictured on theDaily Calendar and can be seen upon the eighth consecutiveYarn Whip used on it.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land /Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World[edit]

When Kirby is under the effect of Invincible Candy, he can defeat strong enemies likeWild Edge by simply touching them.

InKirby and the Forgotten Land and itsNintendo Switch 2 Edition, Invincible Candy works much like its predecessors, albeit with the Feed Me animation changed to a high-five. In addition, while Invincible Candy doesn't make Kirby immune to bottomless pits, cold water, or magma, it will decrease the damage taken from falling into these obstacles.

Invincible Candy is also the primary object of theSweet Success! Invincible Rampage Treasure Road.

Notably, the finalMouthful Mode segment of the main game (Big-Rig Mouth during theFecto Elfilis fight) plays "A Full-Speed Farewell from the New World", which incorporates the Invincible Candy theme and even uses the term無敵むてき ("invincible") in its Japanese name (無敵むてきにGOODBYE NEW WORLD！).

Additionally, one of the collectible figures from Vol. 1 features an Invincible Candy.

Invincible Candy can be found in the following stages:

Invincible Candy locations inKirby and the Forgotten Land
Stage	Appearance?	Stage	Appearance?	Stage	Appearance?	Stage	Appearance?
Point of Arrival		The Tropical Terror		An Unexpected Beast King		The Beast Pack's Final Stand

Kirby's Dream Buffet[edit]

InKirby's Dream Buffet, an Invincible Candy can rarely appear in Food Boxes, though higher priority is given to players near the bottom of the standings. Like in the rest of the series, anyone using the candy is made temporarily invulnerable to hazards for a few seconds, and during this time, if the player manages to send an opponent flying off the stage in a Battle Royale, the opponent(s) will brieflyget stuck on the screen before sliding down it.

Additionally, aCharacter Treat of the Invincible Candy appears using its artwork fromKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.

Kirby Air Riders[edit]

InKirby Air Riders, the Invincible Candy appears in the same fashion as it does inKirby Air Ride, being an item in both Top Ride and City Trial. However, exclusively in City Trial, and unlikeKirby Air Ride, the Invincible Candy is accompanied by its signature theme when used, using the original version fromKirby's Dream Land.

In addition, fourLicense Card stickers depict Invincible Candy; one with its in-game item appearance, one with its appearance inKirby Café artwork, and two as sprites, one colored and one monochrome, fromKirby's Dream Land.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, Invincible Candy appears as asticker which adds +4 damage to R.O.B.'s "Specials: Direct" attacks. It is unclear exactly which attacks are boosted by this sticker.

Music[edit]

The very first "Invincible Candy" theme fromKirby's Dream Land.

Main articles:Invincible Candy (theme from Kirby's Dream Land),Invincible Candy (theme from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards) andKirby Collecting

While Kirby is under the effect of an Invincible Candy, a special musical theme plays, which can be heard in nearly every game that includes the Candy.Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards andKirby Mass Attack are the only games to have a different Invincible Candy theme than the recurring one. When the Invincible Candy is consumed inKirby Air Ride, no special theme is played at all.
