==Special Moves==
 	Name 	Damage 	Description
Neutral Special	Inhale 	6% (spit), 10% (swallow) 	Kirby sucks up his opponent. He can exhale them as a star to deal damage, or copy their neutral special attack. Some characters will give him an alternative special move due to mechanics that wouldn't work properly when copied over, like Olimar's Pikmin Pluck.
Alternate 1 	Ice Breath 	2.4% (nearest), 1.2% (near), 2.4% (far), 6% (farthest) 	Kirby exhales cold air, which freezes his opponent. He cannot suck anything in with this move. This move hits multiple times.
Alternate 2 	Jumping Inhale 	5% (spit), 8% (swallow) 	Kirby jumps forwards before inhaling. If Kirby spits out his opponent, the star won't deal damage.
Side Special 	Hammer Flip 	19% (ground uncharged), 15% (air uncharged), 35% (ground fully charged), 27% (air fully charged) 	Kirby swings his hammer forwards in an arc, which increases in power the longer it charges. He can move around and jump while charging this move.
Alternate 1 	Hammer Bash 	21% (ground head), 18% (ground handle), 4% (air hit 1), 17% (air hit 2 head), 15% (air hit 2 handle)	Kirby swings his hammer forwards in an arc, which sends his opponents skyward on contact. He cannot charge this move. Using this move in midair cause Kirby to rise slightly.
Alternate 2 	Giant Hammer 	22% (ground uncharged), 20% (air uncharged), 40% (ground fully charged), 32% (air fully charged) 	Kirby swings a massive hammer, which is slower but stronger than his normal one. Kirby has super armor while charging the hammer.
Up Special 	Final Cutter 	5% (rise), 2% (drop), 5% (landing), 6% (wave) 	Kirby jumps straight up and falls straight down, cutting anyone he comes in contact with on the way up and meteor smashing anyone he comes in contact with on the way down. When landing, Kirby creates a shockwave projectile that moves forwards quickly.
Alternate 1 	Wave Cutter 	15% (blade), 10% (projectile), 5% (Kirby) 	Kirby jumps straight up and falls straight down, creating a shockwave that sends rocks flying outwards. The move only deals damage when Kirby lands on the ground.
Alternate 2 	Upper Cutter 	10% 	Kirby jumps straight up, cutting anyone he comes in contact with. Stronger than his regular blade and goes higher, but cannot hit anything on the way down.
Down Special 	Stone 	14% (shockwave), 18% (impact) 	Kirby turns into a heavy object and plummets straight down. Enemies are sent flying on contact. Kirby cannot be damaged in this form, but can be grabbed.
Alternate 1 	Grounding Stone	6% (shockwave), 10% (impact on grounded opponents), 12% (impact on airborne opponents) 	Kirby turns into a heavy object and plummets straight down. Kirby takes longer to transform, but takes less time transforming back, and grounded enemies are buried on contact.
Alternate 2 	Meteor Stone 	12% (clean), 10% (mid), 8% (late) 	Kirby turns into a heavy object and plummets straight down. Kirby takes longer to transform back, but he will meteor smash any enemies he hits while falling.
Final Smash 	Ultra Sword 	3% (stun), 5% (hit 1), 2% (hits 2-9), 26% (hit 10) 	Kirby takes out his Ultra Sword and slashes at the opponent. If the move connects, he will teleport around them while slashing at them multiple times. He finishes the move with a powerful hit from a further enlarged sword. This move is similar to Great Aether.
