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. 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 a secret character (among those unlocked) or a plain Kirby.

Likewise, the Kirby team in Super Smash Bros. Melee consists of fifteen Kirbys that come with a random character ability from among the currently unlocked characters. If the player defeats the Kirby team in Melee under thirty seconds, they will have the chance to fight Giant Kirby. Event 28: Puffballs Unite! also features the Kirby Team, but with only 14 of them and four appearing at a time.

On Classic Mode, the Kirby team appears as a multi-character opponent on Stage 8; but none possess a Copy Ability unlike 1P Game; their usual appearance in the original.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Kirby Team may appear as the enemies fought on stage 5 of both Classic Modes, but none will possess a Copy Ability (like in Melee's Classic Mode). In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, their Copy Abilities are never fought in Classic Mode, unlike the first two installments.
