The Kirby Team is a team that is made up of Kirby clones that appear in the single player mode of Super Smash Bros. and Adventure Mode of Super Smash Bros. Melee.

In Super Smash Bros., the player battles a total of eight Kirbys on the Dream Land stage. The Kirby team in SSB consists of Kirbys that already have the character's abilities (or a Copy Ability). The Kirby team in SSB are also lighter, making them easier to KO. Defeating the Kirbys in the order they appear (respecting the characters' order in the character select screen) results in achieving the Kirby Ranks bonus. The final Kirby faced will either be an unlockable character (among those unlocked) or a plain Kirby (if none of the four unlockable characters are unlocked).

The Kirby Team in Melee.

Likewise, the Kirby team in Melee consists of 15 Kirbys that come with a random character ability from among the currently unlocked characters. From 1P Game in Super Smash Bros. they return as an opponent character on Adventure Mode in Super Smash Bros. Melee. If the player defeats the Kirby team in Melee under thirty seconds, they will have the chance to fight Giant Kirby. On Classic Mode, the Kirby Team is a possible multi-character opponent on Stage 8 (however, there are 10 instead of 8 or 15); but none of them possess a Copy Ability (despite their appearance from 1P Game in Super Smash Bros). In one event match (which is Event 28: Puffballs Unite!; the 28th event match); this event features the Kirby Team. But only 14 of them and four appear at a time.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, the Kirby Team appear a possible opponent (despite their frequent appearances in the first two installments) fought on stage 5 of both Classic Modes. But again, none possess a Copy Ability (like in Melee and Melee's Classic Mode).
