—Ice's Flavour Text, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror
Ice is one of Kirby's Copy abilities. It is a very basic ability that displays freezing properties. It parallels the Fire ability.
Ice's main function is to unleash a wintry breath of ice, turning any enemy it touches into an ice cube. After that, Kirby is able to kick the frozen enemy forward into other enemies or obstacles. If the icy block isn't kicked shortly after it materializes, it automatically explodes. Rather than running, Kirby sometimes calmly ice-skates through the level, making it easier for him to kick his frostbitten foes along.
The Ice ability has two extensions, both of which are derived from properties of said ability. These are the Freeze and the Ice Skating abilities.

[edit] Attacks and Features
| Attack Name | Controls | Description | Element |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freeze Breath | B/Y | Kirby fires an icy blast from his mouth. The blast freezes enemies & mid-bosses (with defeated) on contact and they can be kicked around after that. In Squeak Squad it can be angled when a certain Copy Scroll is found. It can also be used to freeze water or momentarily harden hot lava. | Ice |
| Freezer Blizzard |
Dash + B/Y or B/Y repeatedly | Kirby huddles down and encases himself in a freezing aura, easily freezing his enemies & mid-bosses (with defeated) and all the while making him practically invincible. This has the same properties as Freeze. | Ice |
| Freezer Sprinkle | B/Y (Midair) + Dash (Optional) | Kirby spins in midair and simultaneously breathes ice in the air, freezing airborne enemies & mid-bosses (with defeated). By dashing Kirby will spin faster. | Ice |
| Freezer Suction/Ejection | B/Y (Near Enemy) | Kirby sucks up a nearby enemy , and then by pressing either B or Y Kirby will spit the enemy back out, frozen solid. | Ice |
| Ice Kick | ↓ + B/Y | Kirby kicks in a forward direction. A kicked enemy & mid-bosses turns into a solid block of ice and can damage others in its way. | Ice |
[edit] Animal Friend combo abilities
| Animal Friend | Controls | Description | Element |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rick | B | Kirby and Rick become a large two part snowman and create a blizzard that acts exactly like the Freeze ability. In the sequel it works similarly to in the first game but, it snows down snow from the ceiling. | Ice |
| Coo | B | Kirby breathes ice like normal but he can aim it in any direction. The duo lose altitude when the move is used. In the sequel, Coo just launches three angled icicles. | Ice |
| Kine | B | Kine surrounds himself in a blizzard like the ability Freeze, but he keeps moving. If the button is held down too long Kine freezes himself and can easily be attacked. In the sequel Kine freezes himself right away and acts like stone, dropping fast and becoming invincible. | Ice |
| Gooey | B | Kirby and Gooey shoot off frozen puffs. | Ice |
| Nago | B | Nago aims Kirby downward as they jet out a burst of cold breath and launch through the air. | Ice |
| Chuchu | B | Chuchu lobs multiple snowballs at different angles. | Ice |
| Pitch | B | Pitch is cranked up and releases an icy blast of breath that can be aimed. | Ice |
[edit] Kirby: Right Back At Ya!
Ice Kirby in the anime uses a slightly different hat design from the games with a six pointed blue gem and small visor at the front. His skin turns blue, as it does in Kirby Super Star. He can breathe icy wind at his enemy to freeze them, and naturally it's not very useful against an ice-based foe, like Ice Dragon unless it's an "inside" job, but can use the Freezer Suction/Ejection and Ice Kick on non-ice foes.
In the transformation sequence, a chill wind makes Kirby shiver and turn blue before his crown of ice crystals sprouts from his head and wears a visor crown.
