This article is about theCopy Ability. For theTop Ride course, seeLight (course).

Light is aCopy Ability exclusive toKirby's Adventure and its remake,Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. It is an uncommon ability, being acquired only from the rareCool Spook enemy or via aMix.Kirby's appearance does not change while in possession of this ability, although inKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, like other abilities with limited uses, it will cause him to flash.

Unlike most of Kirby's Copy Abilities, Light cannot be used to attack enemies. Instead, using it causes the pink hero to launch a beacon into the air, which lights up the current room for as long as he is in it, revealing paths and sometimes hidden doors. Once used, the ability disappears. Although valuable in dim rooms, the beacon fired by the Light ability has no effect in rooms which are already lit up, making it entirely useless in most situations; presumably for this reason, the only enemy that naturally grants it is almost exclusively found in dark sections, and noMuseum containing the Light ability exists.

Other abilities similar to Light[edit]

Although the Light ability itself has not made a formal appearance outside ofKirby's Adventure andKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, there are a handful of other items, abilities and combinations which also serve the purpose of illuminating dark spaces, as follows:

• Spark +Kine inKirby's Dream Land 2 andKirby's Dream Land 3
• Bomb-Spark inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards
• Thecandle item inKirby's Return to Dream Land
• Light-Bulb Mouth inKirby and the Forgotten Land

Trivia[edit]

• InKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, the Light ability allows the player to seeKirby's blue irises. This is one of the few times these can be seen on Kirby's in-game sprite.
• A "light-flash ability" described similarly to Light was originally planned to appear inKirby Air Ride, according to a 2003Nintendo Power interview. It would have allowed the player to stun opponents and reveal hidden shortcuts with a flash of light. The ability was cut because it lacked offensive impact and was difficult for other players to dodge, so it was not fun to use or play against.^[1]
