Poppy Bros. Sr.
Paint Roller (bomb)
Cutter
This ability is cool and all, making it so that you can toss boomerangs out in front of you to damage foes, or hit foes from behind if you jump over the returning boomerangs, but where exactly does Kirby even KEEP these boomerangs, anyway?
Obtained from:
Sir Kibble
Fire
This one’s a real classic power. Gain the breath of dragons as Kirby learns how to spit fire! Attack with a steady stream of flames, and even gain the power to light cannon fuses!

It’s time to make everything just chill out for a little bit. Attacking with this will cause a radius of frost to radiate from Kirby, turning anything that touches it into ice cubes! Best used when sliding!

A strong, ray of light bursts from Kirby’s eyes after he eats a Laser Ball! Use these laser beams to ricochet off angled walls, light certain fuses, and just in general look pretty dang cool.
Obtained from:
Laser Ball
Light
So, you’ve found yourself in a pesky, dark room, and you can’t exactly see where the ground is. By using the Light ability, you can turn on the lights and make everything visible! How convenient.

Throw

UFO
It’s the elusive UFO ability! Become a mysterious flying object and unleash a series of different electric beam abilities that depend on how long you hold the button down, and float all over the screen as you do so! But wait, this UFO isn’t unidentified, we all know it’s just Kirby! I suppose “Identified Flying Kirby” wasn’t quite as catchy of a name.
