Inhaling and spitting has been Kirby's trademark attack since ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', but it was not until ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' was he able to swallow an enemy to copy their attack. ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' introduced unique hats indicating different Copy Abilities. A single attack from an enemy or damage incurred from the environment was usually enough to make Kirby lose his Copy Ability, though later [[Kirby (universe)|''Kirby'' games]] feature entire health bars instead of health points, so it is possible for him to occasionally keep his Copy Ability even after being damaged. After Kirby loses his Copy Ability, it takes form of a star bouncing around the screen. Kirby can inhale and swallow it to regain the ability before it disappears after it contacts a hazardous surface or enough time passes.

Despite being able to inhale and spit out projectiles as stars since ''Kirby's Dream Land'', Kirby lacked this ability naturally (without copying [[King Dedede]]) in ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' installments prior to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.  


One of Kirby's custom moves, Ice Breath, is based on his {{s|wikirby|Ice}} ability, which first appeared in ''Kirby's Adventure''.

*Despite being able to inhale and spit out projectiles in his [[Kirby (universe)|home series]], Kirby has been unable to do so in every ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' installment prior to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. However, he can inhale projectiles if he copies [[King Dedede]]'s {{b|Inhale|King Dedede}} and spit them back as projectiles rather than stars as of ''Ultimate''.
*As with King Dedede, Kirby is unable to inhale enemies in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'''s [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]].

*If viewing a character while they are about to be sucked into Kirby's mouth, one can see that the character's head and torso are simply decreased in size. This can also be seen with King Dedede's Inhale, [[Wario]]'s [[Chomp]] and the vacuum portion of [[King K. Rool]]'s [[Blunderbuss]].
