This article is about theCopy Ability fromKirby Super Star andKirby Super Star Ultra, and should not be confused withArtist, a Copy Ability fromKirby Star Allies.

Paint is a limited-useCopy Ability appearing inKirby Super Star andKirby Super Star Ultra which, when used, becomes a powerful attack onbosses. The Paint ability is very rare, as it is not available from standard enemies,Copy Essences, orMix; it can only be obtained via the rare Paint Blobby enemy released byHeavy Lobster, or through paint projectiles released byChameleo Arm orMarx Soul. Additionally, Paint can be used only for one attack before Kirby is reverted to normal. Like other limited-use abilities, Kirby cannot create ahelper from the Paint ability.

Upon obtaining the ability, Kirby gains a gray hat, a paintbrush and a bucket of paint. When Kirby uses the Paint ability, he splatters large drops of paint in several places on the screen, followed by Kirby lashing out with some wild brush strokes, causing a different effect depending on what boss he is fighting. When paint is used on Chameleo Arm, his color is changed or he is made perfectly visible again if he had turned invisible. If the ability is used on Heavy Lobster, it causes it to turn red and a paint blob to cover its eye, blinding it and thus causing it to attack randomly instead of aiming at Kirby. However, when this ability is used on Marx Soul, there is no visual difference, and all it does is cause a little bit of damage to the boss. If taken outside of a boss battle, the Paint ability can be used on normal enemies, where it functions exactly the same as theCrash ability.

Moveset[edit]

References in later games[edit]

While Paint itself would not appear in any games aside fromKirby Super Star andKirby Super Star Ultra, its influence can be seen in theArtist move "Painbrush", which is a similar attack that splatters paint everywhere and defeats all regular enemies currently on-screen. This move cannot be used byVividria, and Kirby loses the Artist ability after using the move, similar to how Paint functions.

The Paint ability appears only once inKirby: Right Back at Ya!, in the episodeDedede's Monsterpiece. Here,Kirby obtains the ability afterinhalingPaint Roller's paintbrush. The ability is depicted differently here than it is inKirby Super Star andKirby Super Star Ultra, giving Kirby a pair of roller skates similar to those of Paint Roller, and the ability to paint things that come to life like he does. This depiction of the Paint ability makes it more similar to theArtistCopy Ability which would appear later inKirby Star Allies.
