Copy ability

In every Super Smash Bros. game so far, Kirby has had the ability to copy any other characters' standard-special move with his Neutral-B attack, Inhale, or his Hyper Smash, Super Inhale. If another Kirby is swallowed, only damage is dealt, but Kirby can steal a copy ability off the enemy Kirby, if they had one. When Kirby copies one of his opponents, he will also bear a resemblance of that character in the form of a hat of some kind, which usually show a prominent part of the character copied, and oftentimes mimics their voices/sounds. When performing copied attacks, Kirby will also use the same weapons and poses as their owners. When Kirby has the ability of any Standard Special Move that makes the player helpless in midair (Mega Punch, Mach Tornado, PK Flash, PK Freeze, and Rollout in Melee), the same effect will happen to him.
Kirby can choose to discard the ability at any time by using one of his taunts, though he may also lose it when taking damage.
Starting in Super Smash Bros. Tourney and the sequel, the SFX from Kirby Super Star when Kirby gets a copy ability will be heard as soon as he finishes the Inhale move. Kirby will also do an animation where he looks at the camera and holds his left hand up.
Giant characters such as the giant mobile armors can only be copied if Kirby uses Super Inhale; Inhale will have no effect. Should Kirby copy the ability of a character with a humanoid stand or a guardian ghost, Kirby will make a shadow clone of himself that resembles Shadow Kirby from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror to do the guardian ghost or humanoid stand's job. Below are Kirby's detailedappearances when he copies the other characters in Super Smash Bros. Tourney.

Sheik 	Sheik's headcloth and hair. 	Needle Storm
