General Information
Edit
Fire is one of Kirby's basic Copy Abilities. It was one of the first, debuting in Kirby's Adventure alongside other iconic abilities like Beam and Ice.
The ability is most often confused with Burning. Not only do they revolve around the same element, but Burning's main function, a charge forward whilst covered in flames, is oftentimes an attack used by the Fire ability itself.
Also adding to the confusion is the fact that when Rick acquired the Burning ability in Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Kirby's Dream Land 3, he would blow out fire just like the Fire ability. The attacks obtained when mixing abilities with it in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards (in which it has the same properties as Burning) were based more on Fire as well.
His primary attack of Fire is spewing fire, setting any nearby enemy ablaze. But in more current games Kirby has also mastered other techniques, such as covering himself in fire as means to severely damage enemies.
Move Set
Edit
| Move | Controls | Description | Element | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fire Breath | B/Y/1 | Kirby blows a stream of fire out of his mouth to burn his enemies to a crisp. It can be aimed in some games and on rare occasions can go through walls. | Fire | 8 (1st hit), 7 (repeat hits) |
| Spinning Fire Breath | Button 1 in midair | Kirby spins in the air blowing out a stream of fire. This is similar to Ice's Ice Sprinkle. | Fire | 12 (1st hit), 10 (2nd & 3rd hits) |
| Fireball Inferno | Backwards + B/Y/1 | Kirby self-combusts into a large flaming ball, damaging surrounding enemies. It almost has the same properties as Freeze, except it requires more start-up time, does five times as much damage, and requires slightly more time to cancel it. | Fire | 40 per hit |
| Burn | Dash + B/Y/1 | Also known as "Burning Attack". Kirby cloaks himself in flames and dashes forward with great force. This move comes from Burning. This attack can be used in the air, and bounces off of walls on contact. | Fire | 20 (on ground), 22 (on air) |
| Burning Flame | Button 1 during Burn | Kirby drops 2-3 fireballs that fall to the ground as he dashes, leaving a lingering flame that can burn away at foes. | Fire | 6 (1st hit), 5 (2nd hit) |
| Fireball Spin | B/Y (Midair)/ Down + 1(in KRtDL) | Kirby spins like a wheel in midair while self-combusting. When near the ground while doing this attack Kirby rolls along the ground. If he reaches a wall he will climb up that wall (in KRtDL). | Fire | 24 |
| Blazing Flare | A | Kirby spits out a small flame which acts as a temporary roadblock. By holding down A, the flame gets bigger and bigger, thus making it harder for other racers to avoid once it's expelled. | Fire | - |
In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
Edit
Kirby has obtained Fire in many episodes of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. It is the the most common ability used in the anime , with nine appearances in total. The attack that Kirby uses depends on what he swallowed to get the ability. For example, torches give him his standard Fire breathing attack, while inhaling fireworks allows him to spit fireworks back, like the Fireworks Combo Ability from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. In the transformation sequence,the green gem forms in the crown and catches fire. Fire Kirby also makes an appearance in the 3-D short "Take it Down! The Crustacean Demon Beast Ebizou". It is also notable for being the first seen in the anime as well.
Transformation Sequence
Edit
| Fire transformation |

Super Smash Bros. Series
Edit
Fire Kirby appears in both Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl as one of the collectable trophies. Inhaling Bowser will allow Kirby to blow fire, and his Bowser hat is reminiscent of the Fire Ability hats posture when breathing the fire is the same. The same thing happens when he inhales Charizard.
