Before Playing FAQ

How do I get a Copy Ability from an inhaled enemy?

Inhale an enemy by facing it and holding the inhale button (default Z/Space). With the enemy floating in your mouth, swallow them by holding the same button down instead of puffing out stars (tapping Z). Kirby will gain their face, color scheme, and special power, which can be activated with a different command, most often the A button/key.

What do the collectible 1-up dolls do?

These hidden dolls grant an extra life when collected. In later stages, you might encounter a mini-boss called Bonkers. A fun secret: use the Throw ability against Bonkers to potentially make MORE 1-up dolls appear.

Is there an easy way to fill my health?

Yes. While floating above a recoverable enemy, you can release the button to drop down and swallow it. While it's in Kirby's mouth, mashing buttons to perform an inhale again (or just letting go early) will fill one point of health.

What does the 'Sword' Ability's down stab do?

Performed by pressing the attack button while in mid-air and then pressing down on the D-pad while still pressing jump, this moves slams Kirby like a pointed sword. It can break open the crannies often filled with extra 1-ups or hidden bonuses and, importantly, defeats the otherwise impervious Blocky enemy.

Who was the secret final boss King Dedede revealed to be protecting everyone from?

At the game’s climax, Nightmare was the real antagonist, corrupting dreams. King Dedede shattering the real Star Rod was, shockingly, a gambit to prevent Nightmare’s arrival. The final showdown is not against a misguided but lovable king but against the monstrous, form-stealing creature, Nightmare themself.
