Blaster (Copy Ability)

Blaster is a special Copy Ability that Kirby can use in Super Mario Maker Lunar, being attainable by swallowing specific enemies and objects from the Mario series. In this case, it can be attained by inhaling a Bullet Bill, Banzai Bill, Blasta Mechakoopa, or a Cannonball fired from a Cannon. It is available in all styles.
==Description==
Blaster gives Kirby a pink hard hat, with a pink-colored Bill Blaster mounted onto it, which resembles its appearance in Super Mario Odyssey and the Paper Mario series prior to Paper Mario: Sticker Star. During multiplayer, the pink helmet and Bill Blaster will change colors to match the respective Kirby. The projectiles the Bill Blaster shoots are also colored accordingly.
In the Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, and Super Mario Bros. 3 styles, the only attack Blaster Kirby has is to fire Bullet Bills from the blaster, which travel in a straight line and blow up on contact, defeating enemies and destroying blocks in the radius. Kirby gains an expanded movepool in the other game styles. In addition to Bullet Bills, he can also charge them to fire Banzai Bills or King Bills, which do more damage and have a larger blast radius, and the latter of which can smash through many obstacles. The Bill Blaster's appearance can also be changed to that of a 4-way cannon from Super Mario Bros. 3 to fire two or three cannonballs in a spread formation, or into a Burner to spew a stream of fire to burn nearby enemies.
Thanks to the ability's high damage and range potential, Blaster is an overall strong ability, especially against bosses. However, a lot of the moves do either take time to charge or require Kirby to stand still, it isn't a very efficient one.
