Doctor is a Copy Ability in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby: Planet Robobot.

Games[]

Kirby: Planet Robobot[]

Doctor focuses on using medical tools to attack, with its most basic weapon being bouncing pills. He can also attack using chemicals, medicine, bandages, and a clipboard. Its most unique attack, Science Lab, allows it to create various chemicals to damage enemies, although they are also useful for puzzles due to the elements made available. Doctor is also the base for the Doctor Healmore role in Team Kirby Clash. Doctor is obtained from the Chemitory enemy.

What Kirby gets from the Science Lab is random, but they are color coded with their effects: red is fire, blue is ice, yellow is Flash Spark, and green is Remedy; Remedy can only be made if Kirby is not at full health. If the player releases B before Kirby is finished creating the compound, a small explosion occurs, which does damage and briefly stuns Kirby. Kirby is invincible when prepping and using the compound, but he is vulnerable when holding it. Sizzle, Blizzard, or Zap 8 (set-up), 16 (explosion)
