Crash (Copy Ability)

The Crash Copy Ability is one of several Copy Abilities available in the Kirby series of games. First appearing in Kirby's Adventure for the NES the ability has in all incarnations been a single-use ability, it often appears alongside other limited use abilities such as Mike and Sleep.
==Appearance==
The Crash Ability appears on Kirby as a large silver or platinum (varies according to the game) crown with a star atop it and a bright orange-red jewel in the center. The crown as a part of the design only started appearing in Kirby's Return to Dream Land for the Nintendo Wii and previous appearances of the ability simply had Kirby appearing like normal.
When activating the ability, Kirby has an angry expression on his face and will usually raise his arms up in the air, sometimes floating a bit while doing so. The gathering of energy will either appear as an orb of light around Kirby or as electricity that blasts down from above. The explosion is then unleashed, acting as a screen nuke.
==Functionality==
The Crash Ability only serves one major function, that being as a screen nuke which allows the player to easily defeat any enemy on screen and deals considerable damage to mid-bosses and bosses. In recent games, the ability has also gained a fire property to its usage, allowing it to light fuses, much like Fire and Bomb. From Kirby's Return to Dream Land onward, the player can also charge the attack, leading to it dealing more damage against enemies.
In Kirby: Star Allies for the Nintendo Switch the ability will turn any allies into projectiles that fly around the room.
==Appearances==
To this day the Crash Copy Ability has appeared in a number of Kirby games roughly as frequently as its fellow Single-use ability, Sleep.
