Kirby 	 	"Everyone’s favourite pink puffy & powerful puffball is on another adventure! On the way, there’s multiple enemies he can inhale and devour, including those that yield special powers for him to take on!” 	Default
King Dedede 	 	"The King of dreamland with a heart of gold is tagging alongside Kirby to fight against evil forces! Besides wielding his powerful and bulky hammer, he can perform spectacular slides & super jumps! Make dreamland proud, King Dedede!" 	Default
Meta Knight 	 	"The Masked Knight could also use this time to hone forth his swordsman skills, with devastating slashes, and a swift Shuttle loop! Hm. What lies behind that mask?" 	Default
Bandana Waddle Dee 	 	"Don’t be fooled by his appearance! With his mighty spear, Bandanna Waddle Dee’s ready to make foes blink on the go, with spear copters, throws, and a powerful ground thrust! That goes to show that appearances aren't always everything!" 	Default
Rick, Kine & Coo 	 	"The Dream Animal Team is ready to tag along with Kirby, this time with their own attacks, including Rick's fiery flames, Coo’s perfect parasol tornadoes, and Kine’s fabulous freeze! Whether they’re alone or together, they can put up a fight without the aid of Kirby's powers!" 	5 Music Pages
Gooey 	 	“Born the same as Dark Matter, you’d think he’s evil, right? But you’re wrong! He’s got a good heart, otherwise, he wouldn’t be tagging along with everyone! He can pull off most copy abilities, from a Burning Dash to Drawing out a Parasol to surprise enemies!” 	10 Music Pages
Marx 	 	“Hey hey hey, it’s Marx! He might have caused trouble ever since he visited Dream Land, but he’s ready to take down evil rather than continue it! The Cosmic Jester can pull off multiple tricks, including neat ball kicks & versatile aerial skills shown in his first battle with Kirby to do good for Music Star, if not, the entire universe! When there’s a well-meaning plan that’s good, Marx is always there to help!”	15 Music Pages
Adeleine & Ribbon 	 	“Alone, they’re incredible, but together, they’re unstoppable! With Adeleine’s creative artworks including past enemies Kirby’s fought, and Ribbons crystal, the most powerful object in the world, these 2 were bound to be the heroic duo just as capable as everyone else to take down bosses & bad guys!” 	20 Music Pages
Daroach 	 	"Daroach has been guilty of once stealing Kirby's shortcake, and possibly might still steal along the way... but at the very least, he's here to help, right? With the help of the triple star rod and a few familiar faces, he can bring a lot for the team!" 	30 Music Pages
Dark Meta Knight 	 	"Nobody knows how or why he's here to help Kirby, but for now he's on his side. His skills are similar to that of Meta Knight, with the only difference being that he can summon huge swords and dark projections of himself! What'll happen after all of this is over? Will he be an ally or a foe?" 	25 Music Pages
Magolor 	 	"The interdimensional traveller has been through a journey of repentance, and now that he's here, he's ready to help Kirby defeat evil forces with multiple magical tricks up his sleeve! Magolor already redeemed himself, and is now ready to go out there and be a hero alongside Kirby!” 	35 Music Pages
Taranza 	 	"With this silver-haired spider's smarts, he can be a real aid for the team! He can summon beanstalks, Fire Magic Balls, and more! He’ll save the universe for everyone! Including an old friend…” 	40 Music Pages
Susie 	 	“She might be professional, but even Susie has her limits! She won’t hesitate to use her trusty H.W.C Blaster on those who dare cross her, or worse… suit up with the Robobot Armor she once used against Kirby! Mechanise your enemies, Susie!” 	45 Music Pages
The Three-Mage Sisters	 	“Thanks to Kirby, The Priestess Trio have found their true calling, which is to fight for the good of the world. With Francisca’s Icy Axe, Flamberges Fiery Sword, & Zan Partizannes Lightning Spear, there’s nothing that can stop this powerful trio!” 	50 Music Pages

=== Returning Copy Abilities ===
Copy Ability	Image	Flavour Text
Sword 	 	"Kirby dons a green hat and a legendary sword to perform swift & strong sword moves, from sword drills to sky energy sword attacks! This copy ability makes him feel & look far more braver, maybe even more than a certain green-hatted hero..."
Cutter 	 	"Kirby can throw & use sharp cutter boomerangs to defeat foes! Should he miss, he can always wait for it to hit ‘em! It's a useful tool for him to use in puzzles!"
Fire 	 	"Kirby can now blaze & burn enemies with the power of fiery flames! With the power to dash and burn enemies as well as especially ignite himself on fire, his enemies are toast!"
Beam 	 	"With the wand in hand, Kirby can utilize the magical power of electricity! Attack enemies like a whip, pull off a beam blast from the air, and charge up that energy to fire at will!"
Needle 	 	"Kirby can make like a porcupine and extend spikes, hoping enemies walk into them... but that's not all! He can stick to walls, roll around like a hedgehog, and fire needles in multiple directions! For a copy ability that sharp, he sure can stick it to 'em!"
Spark 	 	"Brrr!!! The cold doesn't seem to bother Kirby at all! He can now freeze foes with an ice breathe and kick 'em aside so they can chill out."
Ice 	 	"Brrr!!! The cold doesn't seem to bother Kirby at all! He can now freeze foes with an ice breath and kick 'em aside so they can chill out."
Tornado 	 	"With wind this powerful, Kirby can scatter his foes in a rapid cyclone and beat 'em with an unorthodox tornado dash!"
Parasol 	 	"No matter where he is, Kirby can always go on a nice walk with an umbrella in hand with this copy ability. He can not only attack, but defend against most enemy attacks & spray water at them! Any falls he faces will always be gentle, as he floats around the air. Who knew that an umbrella can pack such strength?"
Hi-Jump 	 	"This transformation allows Kirby to jump up high like a superhero! He can leap up into the air at a powerful level to beat enemies in his path, and zoom down with an unstoppable high-speed rocket dive! That cape sure makes Kirby live up to being a hero of popstar!"
 	 	"Kirby rides like the wind in this transformation! He can zoom quick at the speed of light with a rocket start to run over foes! As amazing as it is, he'd better be cautious when dealing with hazards!"
Crash 	 	"Uh-oh! Danger incoming! Kirby's transformation is dangerous enough, and a lot more dangerous should he build up more energy to deliver a devastating KABOOM!!!"
Mike 	 	"Kirby's great at saving the world, but the same might not be said for his singing… in a good way! With 3 songs in this rhythmic transformation, he’s sure to cause quite a racket! For his last song, he can crank up the volume to an awfully loud level! Poor souls, forced to endure such loudness... maybe with help from Music Star’s residents, maybe he can get some practice to improve his singing…”
Sleep 	 	"Shh! Kirby's sleeping! This copy ability might not look like much, but you’ll find that enough sleep can be quite refreshing on an adventure. Give him enough to rest and you’ll see how…”
Bomb 	 	"Kirby can throw firework bombs with this copy ability; but that's not all. He can roll 'em, drop 'em, aim 'em, and especially set 'em on foes!”
Fighter 	 	"Hyah!!! Kirby may look adorable, but at the same time, he's powerful, and this copy ability of combat symbolises that. He can go from throwing Vulcan Jabs to throwing a smash punch, pull off leg sweeps to spin kicks, fire a force blast to a giga-force blast, and many more! Should he master his skills, he can be the best fighter throughout Music Star!
e 	 	"Kirby is now a pro at taking to the skies in this transformation! He
 	 	"Kirby now wields the power of reflection! He can project copies of himself going in opposite directions, into the sky, and all around him! His most unique trick with this copy ability is the power to deflect enemy attacks! Wow us with your amazing mirror skills, Kirby!"
Ninja 	 	"Mastering the ways of a ninja warrior, Kirby can hide in the shadows, and when he's ready, surprise his foes with quick-speed attacks, like the stealth slash & blossom storm! Should his enemies be near to attacking him, Kirby can always surprise 'em with a clone technique! Ninja’s aren’t strong, but they sure are quick!”
Yo-Yo 	 	"Kirby now officially possesses the power of coolness in the transformation, with a Yo-Yo, nonetheless! He can pull off multiple tricks to defeat his enemies in style, from a break spin to a Gazer Spiral! He sure hurt himself in multiple attempts to dazzle his friends!"
Cleaning 	 	“It's spring cleaning time! Nothing beats it like a good ol' broom sweep! Spring cleaning is great, but it’s also better when Kirby has animal friends Nago, Pitch & Chu-Chu by his side to increase the magnitude of such a healthy activity!”
Whip 	 	"Yee-haw!!! Kirby's transformed into a cowboy, with a whip in hand! It's good enough that he can fight enemies, including with a whip tornado, but he can also grab 'em, as with items too! Bring justice upon your enemies, Kirby!"
Spear 	 	"Kirby is now one with the spear! He can live up to the ways of the old users of the weapon by spear jabbing, throwing, and moon dropping! The best part is that some of these tricks can be used underwater!"
Water 	 	"Kirby is now the master of water with this copy ability! He can make use of the refreshing applications it offers, like the wave surf, rainbow rain, fountain hover and more! He can rely on this copy ability to surf over lava platforms!"
 	 	"Kirby's a sharpshootin' archery expert! He can fire bows in multiple ways: diagonally, across, you name it! To surprise foes, he can camouflage himself until one of them is nearby and fire at will!"

 	 	"This copy ability allows Kirby to show of his finest acrobatic tricks everywhere he goes, showcasing somersaults, balloon art, trampoline jumps, and more! The planet of music could use some form of entertainment!"
 	 	"Uh-oh! Kirby's gotten really dangerous with this transformation! His enemies better watch their step, for attacks including the sticky toxins and toxic smogs leaves hazards for them to beware! The most dangerous attack they should also be wary of is the toxic tower. It gets even worse when tilted!!! Watch out!!!"
 	 	"Honk, toot, bammity-bam! Honk, toot, bammity-bam! Honk, toot, bammity-bam! Honk, toot, and bammity-bam! Kirby know's how to party on the planet of music with this copy ability! This deserves an award, like some food and stars!"
