“Remote Cutter
BOOMERANG!”
—Cutter's Flavour Text, Kirby: Squeak Squad
Cutter is One of Kirby's Copy abilities.
Kirby gains the ability to utilize a curved blade, always in a boomerang fashion. If Kirby jumps, the blades will pass underneath him and hit foes behind him.
The Cutter hat somewhat resembles a duck- it's a yellow hat with a bill that's either yellow or white, and two black eyes that look like Kirby's own. Two tiny white wings are on the side, and Kirby keeps the cutter blade attached to the top of the hat when not in use.

[edit] In Games
| Attack Name | Controls | Description | Element |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cutter Boomerang | B or Y | A boomerang that will fly forward and damage enemies. In most games it can be controled with ↑ or ↓. By jumping over the blade, Kirby can hit enemies behind him. A copy scroll in Squeak Squad will make the blade much more bigger and powerful. (This is the only move that may be used with the Cutter ability in all games except Kirby Super Star and its remake.) | None |
| Cutter Dash | B + Dash | Kirby uses the blade like a sword and swings it to damage enemies. | None |
| Sweep Cutter | Hold B (Midair) | Kirby throws a cutter boomerang like normal, but holds out another Cutter while doing it, therefore doing a little extra damage. | None |
| Cutter Drop | Down + B (Midair) | Kirby holds his cutter in front of him as he falls damaging enemies. By dashing in midair the attack goes slightly faster. | None |
| Cleaving Cutter/Nonstop Cutter/Final Cutter | Up/Down/Forward + B (Near Enemy) | Kirby attacks using his cutter as a sword. After two slashes he jumps in the air and finishes the enemy(ies) in a final huge slash which generates an energy wave on the ground that explodes on contact with a wall. This move is sometimes used by Sword, but with the first two slashes removed. | None |
| Animal Friend | Controls | Description | Element |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rick | B | Rick throws Kirby like a boomerang. | None |
| Coo | B | Coo throws three spinning feathers. One going upwards, one forwards, and one downwards. In the third game he only shoots one feather but, it is angelable. | None |
| Kine | B | Kine shoots a large blast out of his mouth that goes a long distance. | None |
| Gooey | B | Gooey tosses a spinning blade, acting exactly as Kirby's ability alone. | None |
| Nago | B | Nago swings his partner upwards and fires a large purple shock wave that damages aerial enemies. | None |
| Chuchu | B | Chuchu is swung around by Kirby. It is nearly impossible for the duo to get damaged. | None |
| Pitch | B | Pitch becomes a boomerang that flies around. While Pitch is flying his partener is left with no way to defend himself. | None |
[edit] Super Smash Bros. Series
Kirby uses the Final Cutter as his Up Special in all three Super Smash Bros.. Instead of being used as a combo it's all one manuver, Kirby brandishes a Cutter, jumps up, then comes back down, creating a Cutter Beam on landing. This version of the attack is sometimes used by Sword.
[edit] Kirby: Right Back At Ya!
Cutter Kirby uses the same duck hat as the later games, and appears whenever Kirby manages to inhale things like blades and saws (anything that's sharp except for an actual sword, it seems.) It is reviled here that the Cutter that Kirby uses is stored on the hat when it isn't in use. In the transformation sequence,Kirby's hat spins on his head and the boomerang flies around until it hits his hat. This version of Cutter is based on the KSS version, but with new attacks. Cutter Boomerang is the primary attack, but Kirby often uses Cutter Finish or Final Cutter to finish off enemies.
It also gains a new ability- Cutter Beam, where Kirby spins rapidly and fires a thin beam of energy to slice long distances away.

[edit] Trivia
- The flavor text in Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland and Kirby and the Amazing Mirror is a reference to the anime, Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
- In most games, Kirby can fire rapid cutters, but in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, he can only fire one at a time with Cutter or Double Cutter because Kirby uses his face as a cutter. Though humorous, it leaves Kirby vulnerable; using this ability also leaves Kirby unable to fly as he usually does, he can only jump.
