"CHARGE!"

—Spark's Flavour Text, Kirby: Squeak Squad

Spark is one of Kirby's Copy abilities that allows him to surround himself in sparks of electricity, shocking any enemy that comes near.

Plasma and Spark are sometimes seen as interchangeable, as recently Spark has begun exhibiting properties previously only seen in Plasma. In the anime series, Spark Kirby uses long distance attacks like Plasma's energy blasts. And in Kirby Squeak Squad, the upgraded Spark allows Kirby to charge up and fire a long-range attack. Spark is considered to be Plasma's answer to more defensive abilities like Needle or Freeze. The two also have very similar designs, which implies a much larger connection.

In Kirby's Adventure, this ability didn't create a field of electricity but rather shot small, exploding blasts of electricity from Kirby (or Sparky). This version of the ability also appeared in Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Dream Land 3. In subsequent games such as Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, it was changed into a shocking forcefield.

[edit] Kirby: Right Back At Ya!

Spark as it appears in Kirby: Right Back At Ya!

In the anime series, Kirby finally has the bright green skin that the official art tends to show! The crown is changed slightly to just a round blue orb in a simple circlet. It also becomes more of a long-distance defense move like Plasma, with Kirby launching orbs of crackling energy at his foes.
