When using Stone or Stone Smash, Kirby can transform into most of the forms available to Stone inKirby's Return to Dream Land, as well as a handful of unique golden forms: a sprite of Kirby with a "20th" logo on top of him, a sprite of King Dedede, and a statue of Magolor.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

This ability returns under its current name inKirby: Planet Robobot, with an updated moveset based onKirby's appearance inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.

Kirby gains another new move in addition to all his previous ones;Air Drop, which comes fromNinja Kirby's moveset and acts as Kirby's up throw in theSuper Smash Bros. series. Additionally, Hammer Flip has been reworked to match its chargeable iteration fromSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and can now break ice blocks and lightFuses. Smash Kick is also chargeable, again to reflect its use in theSuper Smash Bros. series. Finally, the Guard in this version of the ability resembles the bubble shields used by most of the characters in theSuper Smash Bros. series, though in this case, it can't break.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror manual[edit]

  • "Kirby's got all his moves from Super Smash Bros. Melee!"

Trivia[edit]

  • InKirby & The Amazing Mirror andKirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, Smash Bros. Kirby swings his Hammer upward rather than downward, to mimic the way he attacks in theSuper Smash Bros. series (inKirby: Planet Robobot, it matches Hammer Flip, which is always swung upward).
    • In all appearances, Smash Bros. Kirby uses a silver hooked sword for Final Cutter rather than the usual gold cutter blade, again matching itsSuper Smash Bros. appearance.
  • InKirby & The Amazing Mirror, Smash Kirby's Hammer Spin (9 damage) is more powerful thanHammer Kirby's (5 damage). InKirby: Planet Robobot, however, both versions have the same power.
  • Smash Bros. Kirby retains Hammer Spin and Giant Swing inKirby's Dream Collection Special Edition andKirby: Planet Robobot, even though he no longer has the move in theSuper Smash Bros. series proper sinceSuper Smash Bros. Brawl.
  • The only truly unique move of Smash Bros. Kirby is Twinkle Star, as no other Copy Ability contains this attack. This move is Kirby'sneutral aerial attack in theSuper Smash Bros. series.
