—Mini's Flavour Text, Kirby & the Amazing Mirror


Mini (also called Minimum) is one of Kirby's Copy abilities. When Kirby inhales the miniature enemy, Minny, he too gets downsized to the size of a button. It is notable for being the only ability which actually hinders Kirby's combat skills rather than improve it. However, the Mini ability still has its fair share of perks and uses.
Mini and regular
What seems like a completely impractical and useless ability at first is really the key to retrieve some of the game's treasure chests. This is because Mini has the ability to allow Kirby to enter small cracks and crevices. The only downside of the ability is that Kirby is a virtual sitting duck when such a small size, and has no way of defending himself against any foe or calling his friends.

As of now, Mini has only appeared in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, but in the coding of Kirby's Adventure exist sprites for a tiny version of Kirby, which was perhaps an early version of the Mini ability which was canceled at some point in production.

[edit] Trivia

In Kirby: Squeak Squad, there are bubbles that you can find with a Mini Kirby. While it doesn't give you a power, you can get a 1-up if you mix three of them together.
