"Hide in shadows and darkness. Use ninja skills on your mission. You're a ninja! A NINJA! Cool..."
—Ninja's Flavor Text, Kirby Super Star Ultra
Ninja is a copy ability found in Kirby Super Star and Kirby: Squeak Squad. The Ninja copy ability is best known for being one of the fastest abilities, meaning it is able to deal steady damage in a short amount of time. In order to do sufficient damage though, Kirby must execute many attacks at a time. This is because Ninja is predominantly projectile-based. Because these projectiles are weak on their own, Kirby must remain at a safe distance and throw tons of them at the enemy. This is where Ninja Kirby's quick reflexes come in handy.
In Squeak Squad, Ninja was given more properties based off the stereotypical Ninjas rather than the traditional kind demonstrated in Super Star. These properties entail walking on water, clinging to walls, and harnessing "jutsu" (simply Japanese for method or trick).
The Ninja hat has the same design as the Stone hat, only with different colors.

[edit] Attacks and Features
| Attack Name | Controls | Description | Element |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kunai Throw | B/Y | Kirby throws a piercing kunai knife straight forward. This can be done rapid-fire to deal constant and heavy damage. | None |
| Quad Shock | B/Y (Hold) | Kirby swings his knife in front of him. If it does not collide with an enemy, it will be an ordinary slash. If it does, Kirby will create a shock wave that does lots of damage to foes. This move also works in midair, but it will not create a shock wave whether Kirby hits an enemy with the knife or not. | None |
| Dash Attack | B/Y + Dash | Kirby swings his kunai knife forward as he dashes. | None |
| Air Drop | ← + B/Y (Near Enemy) | Kirby grabs the enemy or defeated mid-boss, and he will then proceed to jump into the sky and slam the enemy down into the ground with massive force, doing massive damage to anyone in the way. A similar attack was in Fighter's Squeak Squad moveset. | None |
| Ninja Kick | ↓ + B/Y (Midair) | Kirby dives diagonally-forward, foot outstretched. | None |
| Hide Guard | B/Y (While taking damage) | Kirby becomes invisible. By pressing B or Y again Kirby reappears in an explosion, destroying nearby enemies and damaging bosses. | None |
| Shuriken Throw | B | Kirby throws ninja stars, or shuriken, at his foes. This was the equivalent for Super Star's Kunai Throw but this attack deals more damage and is considerably slower. It works when Kirby is wall-clinging/walking on water/in midair as well. | None |
| Elemental Jutsu | B (Hold) | Kirby starts building up power around himself. Releasing B causes Kirby to slam his fist into the ground, creating multiple fireballs that heavily damages foes. Because this attack is terrain based, if the powerful technique is used near water, the fireballs evaporate the water, creating steam. It can only be used after getting the Copy Scroll | Fire/Water/Air |
[edit] In the Anime
Ninja appears in Kirby: Right Back at Ya! in episode 22 Ninja Binge, which is its only appearance. In the anime, Kirby shows moves that can't be used in games.
