| |
| | |
| '''Inhale''' is [[Kirby|Kirby's]] [[neutral special move]] attack in all three of his incarnations in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, though it was previously called '''Vacuum''' in [[Super Smash Bros.]] and '''Swallow''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. When B is pressed, Kirby opens his mouth and begins to inhale, creating a vortex of wind. Kirby will never stop inhaling until B is released. If a character comes near the [[vacuum|vortex]], they will automatically be sucked inside Kirby, who will bloat up with the person inside of him. He cannot move in Super Smash Bros., while in Melee and Brawl, he will move at extremely slow speeds, although he can jump a short distance. Increased weight causes Kirby to fall faster as well. The goal of the attack is to swallow the victim (by pressing down or B), which will make Kirby copy their powers, enabling him to perform that character's neutral special move (the character pops out after being swallowed, and can still perform their neutral special attack). If Kirby traps the wrong character in his mouth, or simply doesn't want the character's move, Kirby can spit the character out by pressing A.
| |
| | |
| Kirby dons a unique hat depending on who he's inhaled, such as wearing Mario's hat if he swallows [[Mario]]. The copied special attack will sometimes be lost when Kirby is attacked enough, and can also be discarded by [[taunt]]ing. Inhaling another Kirby and copying will do nothing unless the other Kirby has already copied an attack and is wearing a hat. If a Kirby is wearing a hat, another Kirby is able to steal it for themselves.

| ===Swallowing Items===
| |
| {{Main|Item Swallowing}} | |
| Just like [[King Dedede (SSBB)|King Dedede's]] Inhale and [[Wario|Wario's]] [[Chomp]], Kirby can swallow items using the attack. Any item meant to be eaten will have the same effect (such as [[Food]]). However, Kirby can eat any item on the screen. Kirby will automatically swallow the item when it is in his mouth, meaning he can keep other characters from using it. [[Poké Ball]]s, [[Mr. Saturn]] and other "live" items cannot be swallowed. If Kirby inhales a [[Crate]] or any other large item, Kirby cannot move nor attack until it is fully swallowed. If Kirby inhales an explosive such as a [[Bob-omb]], he will receive 5% damage.

| |
| | |
| ===Inhaling other Kirbys===
| |
| When a Kirby attempts to copy another Kirby that has no copied ability, the swallowed Kirby will pop out the same way as normal; however, it makes a different sound and the swallowing Kirby doesn't receive a copied ability.
| |
| | |
| If a Kirby swallows a Kirby with a copied ability, then the swallowing Kirby copies the power, as well removing the ability from that Kirby.

| ==="Kirbycide" Applications===
| |
| {{Main|Kirbycide}}
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Kirby is capable of slowly walking around the stage while carrying opponents in his mouth or swallowing a foe off stage, but not too far off. This allows for some forms of [[Kirbycide]], wherein Kirby jumps off the [[edge]] with someone in his mouth and releases them at a distance or position from which they are unable to recover, forcing a [[KO]].One may Swallow at the last second for a K.O. (usually during Time Mode for an extra point), and may survive due to Kirby's tall recovery.
| |
| | |
| Kirby can also jump off the stage and Inhale the opponent who is conveniently standing by. This is the only way to Inhale Kirbycide in the original [[Super Smash Bros.]], as well as the easiest.
| |
| | |
| ===Origin===
| |
| Inhaling and spitting has been a trademark attack of Kirby since ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', but it was not until ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' was he able to swallow an enemy to copy their attack. It wasn't until ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' that Kirby also had different hats that indicated the power he copied. A single attack was usually enough to make Kirby lose his copied power. Kirby then had to quickly re-absorb the ability that turned into energy or else it would be destroyed.
| |
| | |
| ===Trivia===
| |
| *Because [[Olimar]]'s neutral special move move is useless by itself, Kirby does not exactly copy the move. Rather, he will use [[Pikmin Pluck]] followed immediately by [[Pikmin Throw]], although the Pikmin will not latch on after being thrown, instead, they will die when they come into contact with anything.
| |
| | |
| *When Kirby uses Inhale on enemies in the [[Subspace Emissary]], they will take small constant amounts of damage because Kirby can't copy NPC enemies' abilities. It's also noteworthy that Kirby is unable to inhale [[False Character]]s.
| |
| | |
| *Kirby can inhale Waddle Dees and Doos and then swallow them, much like he could swallow enemies in adventure mode in SSBM. Unlike in his own [[Kirby (universe)|series]], however, he does not get the Beam ability from Waddle Doos that he inhales.
| |
| | |
| *In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Kirby can swallow [[Metal Mario]], but is unable to absorb the usage of [[Fireball]]s.
| |
| | |
| *Because Kirby's size is smaller then most characters he inhales, his copied moves are sometimes slightly inferior versions to others, due to smaller range. This usually, but not always, applies for Physical attacks. But some note that his small size and unique moves allow for interesting setups of some copied moves.
| |
| | |
| *When Kirby inhales an opponent while he is under the effects of Superspicy Curry, the damaging flames disappear.
| |
| | |
| *Kirby, along with King Dedede and Wario, will always take 5% damage from swallowing explosives, regardless of what that explosive was.
| |
| | |
| *A number of the copy abilities in the ''Smash'' series bear at least some resemblance to one of the abilities from Kirby's own games, in design and/or function. An example is [[Bowser]]'s [[Fire Breath]] being similar to the main attack method of Kirby's Fire ability.

| ==King Dedede==
| |
| | |
| [[File:KingDeDeDeInhale.jpg|200px|thumb|right|King Dedede's inhale]]
| |
| '''Inhale''' is [[King Dedede (SSBB)|King Dedede's]] [[neutral special move]] attack. The attack is identical to [[Kirby (SSBB)|Kirby's]] inhale in appearance, but with slightly increased range and no copying ability. By pressing B Dedede will begin to inhale the air in front of him, creating a [[Vacuum|vortex]]. He will continue to inhale as long as B is held down. If a character comes near him, they will automatically be sucked inside of him, and will be trapped in his stomach. When swallowed, Dedede's stomach enlarges to hold the victim, which makes him extremely slow. Dedede simply spits the character back out when A is pressed, or they break free themselves.
| |
| | |
| Other similarities to Kirby's Inhale include the ability to [[Item Swallowing|eat items]] and perform a form of [[Sacrificial KO]], sometimes known as "Dededecide" or "Regicide."
| |
| [[File:DDD explosion glitch.jpg|thumb|175px|The Inhale explosion glitch]]
| |
| This attack does 10% when the opponent is exhaled; if the character-projectile hits someone, it does 9 to 18% to that person depending in the inhaled opponent, the heavier it is the higher damage it does.
| |
| | |
| Dedede's Inhale has at least two glitches. When used on a mine from [[Snake (SSBB)|Snake]]'s down smash, the explosion will go off continuously until it hits someone, Snake plants another mine, or Dedede stops Inhaling. When used on [[Ike (SSBB)|Ike]] in the middle of a [[Quick Draw]], Ike will hit Dedede but continue past, often to his death. However, this is probably due to the vacuum effect created by the Inhale.
| |
| | |
| ===Origin===
| |
| In nearly every Kirby game with Dedede in it, Dedede has shown the ability to Inhale, like Kirby. Unlike Kirby's Inhale, Dedede cannot absorb an ability. The attack has remained mostly the same throughout the Kirby series, with the exception of Dreamland 2, where Dedede is able to inhale large amounts of air and spit it back at Kirby as a very powerful projectile.
