I actually think that Kirby’s backwards hat when he has Wheel is supposed to make him look like a Mechanic.
I see that
Always thought that since I was a wee child specifically from a racetrack when the cars stop and they fix the wheels
Yeah I see it now too
Exactly
i always thought he was just trying to be cool or something.
What I like about the Mike ability is the fact that Kirby's not trying to attack with it. He's just so tone deaf that when he tries to sing he does massive damage. LOL
Yeah thats even shown in the anime that our boy just want to spit some bars :)
I CANT FUCKING ESCAPE HOMESTUCK EVEN WHEN I TRY TO
why is it alterniabound nepeta tho
i prefer triterniabound nepeta over alterniabound nepeta

Dream Land even mentioned that enemies actually die of laughter because of how bad Kirby sings!
Regarding the Copy ability from *Kirby Super Star:* It was also useful in the *Milky Way Wishes* portion of that game, as your own copy ability is nerfed in that game, requiring you unlock them in order to use them. The copy allowed you to use abilities you hadn't unlocked yet.
It's also found in a secret area on the world map so it can easily be the first ability you get.
Even with that I barely used copy. Since you got so many abilities so fast it was more fun just to stick with the ones you have then to use copy and hope you get a good ability.
@@Magic_Ice Unless you play in multiplayer, because the helper version of Copy is a legitimate monster. TAC (the helper) can all but one-shot any enemy he cannot copy and the hand (which has surprising range) is pretty powerful even on bosses. Even more broken, however, is that, when TAC transforms with Copy, he gains full health in that form. Furthermore, if that form is damaged, he can drop it like Kirby can and have whatever health he had before. For all intents and purposes, a good TAC player can be immortal, cleverly switching between powers to protect himself.
And, if that wasn't all, TAC is the first character in the series to have the "hide and take no damage" guard ability, meaning he can "block" with the shoulder buttons and be completely immune to damage.
If you're playing multiplayer with a friend, you give them this ability, hands-down. It was even upgraded in Superstar Deluxe for the DS, making it pretty potent if you play solely as a helper and not Kirby himself.
And adding onto that, it let you copy from enemies you couldn't naturally copy from, like scarffy. They give the crash ability by the by.
@@SilverFoxR I agree Tac is good but we aren’t talking about Tac we are talking about the Copy ability.
I really do miss the change in Kirby's color depending on the copy ability.
Same. I mean if you have multiple playable Kirbys like in RTD it makes sense. But ever since then that wasn't the case anymore
Kirby Racism
I prefer the spray paint cans from Squeak Squad. Loved the color selection
Same here, made them stand out more.
@@DirectorOfChaos9292 they appeared in amazing mirror as well
I was always bummed out that when burning fused with fire, they never allowed Kirby to keep the flaming hands. It looks legitimately badass.
They should just Fuse the hats too, because unfusing the abilites would be Dunn with how little each one does.
There's obvious ways to separate them again, they just probably haven't thought of it yet. One thought I had is to make Burning be the one that gives you more control over your trajectory while you dash and then also adding an ability to charge it up and become a more powerful fireball. Fire could still keep some elements, like the aerial dash, but it would be much weaker. They could do something similar with Freeze and Ice -- Make the dash attack for ice into the spinning ice breath from 64, and then give Freeze some ability to expand its AOE and maybe some gimmick moves where Kirby turns into a snowman or you can create a blizzard above your head. Stuff like that
....because Burning only had that "hat" in Nightmare in Dreamland and Amazing Mirror?
At least ESP gets the psychic orb things
Kirby is supposed to be cute not “badass” fake fan…
You are brave for tackling this
He the kirby master bandy of course he gonna do it
Surprised how low likes Mr. Nathanial Bandy has huh
i'm more brave
NB has a crush on antdude. I refuse to disbelieve so
he forgot sand
Glad to know I'm not the only Mirror lover. It's always been my favourite, just wish it showed up more
And Simirror is one of the best Kirby enemies design-wise
I agree
MIRROR APPRECIATORS. 🤝
Seriously though it's also my favorite ability of all time and I was so stoked when it came back
Mirror is also my favorite ability, and yeah it really should be in more games.
IT'S THE BEST ABILITY IN EVERY GAME
Glad to see another Poison appreciator! It was actually the copy ability I used on my first True Arena clear in Robobot. I hope it comes back someday sooner than later
i would love for it to return as a Water upgrade, mostly because Poison is literally Water but different! (not as a mock)
27:20 Also the references to the Robobot armour are greatly appreciate.
It's mostly a Gundam reference though
@JeSuisSansy Several of the attacks in the trailer are the same as the Robobot armour. I wouldn't be surprised if the bot armour itself was a Gundam reference.
@@CeHee123 I was mostly talking about the design : The V-Fin, head vents, head camera and the double cannon backpack (pretty much the same as Gundam Double X)
I played Robobot back in the days, but I don't really remember the attacks (though now that I think about it, the robot armour kinda looks like the ball pods from the first ova of Gundam Unicorn)
WAIT THE FACE IS TOTALLY A HARO FACE
@@jesuissansy3881 you are blinded by your love for Gundam, because the Robobot Armor is clearly a reference to the Lagann (though, to be fair, the Lagann is probably inspired by Gundam in itself so...). Like, if it wasnt obvious enough by it being basically a giant head, the game ends with the robobot armor forming a giant drill from its hand...
This is objectively a correct list because Ant acknowledged the unique moveset of Sleep in Battle Royale.
Seriously though, congratulations on 200 episodes, Ant! We can tell how much you've been refining the quality of your content over the years, and it definitely shows! Cheers and best wishes to all your future endeavors!
Yeah but drill is 46 and I’m offended
@@GWAHGWAHGWAHGWAHGWAHGWAHGWAHGW I agree particularly because combined with movement speed increase its the most broken ability for damage and used by the speed runners on GDQ!
Wambu also acknowledged the sleep moveset in his copy ability video for forgotten land.
Light is easliy worse then sleep, all that Light does to light up two rooms in Adventure/Nightmare in Dream Land
Spider Kirby doesn't cause Arachnophobia, it cures it
Great video! And soon l will try to illustrate many abilities as well on my 3DS ^^
I love ur animations!!!
BOUNCY PIGEON
Your saying that because kirby just became a furry.
Can Can!
@@Ggmemegod8960 animal kirby moment
THERE ARE THREE WAYS TO GET PAINT! You can get it from Marx as well.
Also copy can be used in Milky Way Wishes, if you deal the final blow to Heavy Metal Lobster in the same attack that you scan its little paint blob, to take the Paint ability outside of the boss fight.
Specifically, the Marx Soul in Super Star Ultra, where it is an excellent troll on the player. After seeing the new move from Marx and realizing it is a paint blob, you drop your ability use Paint on the boss. It does practically nothing, and now you gave up your ability for no benefit.
Which one of Marx's attacks gives you paint?
@@mariajimenafigueroa233 It was an added move in the remake, Super Star Ultra.
Pretty sure there's 4 then because there is an enemy/copy essence in the metanighrmare stage when you go down the long fall in the sky there's a secret door there that gets you paint
@@ibilesfighter3.16 Meta Knight can't use copy abilities
The Morpho Knight upgrade in Forgotten Land instantly made Sword one of my favorites. It was already really good but man, that upgrade's some of the most fun I've ever had in a Kirby game
Nice to see some Staff appreciation! It's not necessarily my top ability, but I always thought its concept was really cool and the pogo bouncing moves were quite fun, especially when you give it a wind element. Would love to see it again, especially to see how it would work in 3D.
A note about Ranger, it also has the unique power among regular Copy Abilities to even hurt Clawroline while she's clinging to the background to chuck knives at you where she can't be hit by you during that in most cases. But, good luck aiming your shot and having it go off on her before she flinches you out of that aiming stance by hitting you.
it is possible if you're skilled enough
I feel like the only reason we got Drill instead of a revamped Animal is because even the most basic enemies were animals.
Happy 200 episodes!
I’m of the personal opinion that Planet Robobot had the strongest selection of new abilities, and I wish we could see them more. Doctor at least got to show up again in Battle Royale and the Clash games, but ESP would have been SICK in Fighters 2, and Poison (along with Missile) is probably the most underrated ability in the franchise imo.
Also the fact that Forgotten Land broke Whip’s perfect attendance makes me a little sad, as it’s tied with Beetle for my favorite ability.
I like your pfp
@@Commander-peepers Thank you, fellow JoJo fan. I wish I could find the artist…
Yeah Tornado Kirby is actually like the most untouchable ability in the game. The only real downside being you’re vulnerable for a bit after spinning. Shit carried me through True Arena in return to dreamland
Glad to know that one of my favorite RUclipsrs has the same favorite copy ability as mine, Mirror Chads are a very rare breed but now I believe it'll grow.
Not many people know about the quality of mirror shield and that it actually reduces chip damage to zero. That's one of the reasons why it's so overpoweres, and why it's my favorite Kirby ability. It's just so efficient in every sense of the word, and I hope this video will bring more appreciation to that underrated ability, because I honestly think it deserves it more than something like Sword
Man I loved mirror since the first time I used it in Super Star Ultra. Was excited when I saw it come back (even if it was only that one game)
Throw is actually one of my top 3 favorite copy abilities.
As well as backdrop.
Yes backdrop, not suplex.
This shows how little of this series I’ve played
30:43 I have played this game for over 60 hours and I have never seen this move before! Kirby has so much depth and I love that!
I couldn’t agree more with the #1 pick. Mirror is by far my favorite ability. I was so excited when I saw it make another appearance outside of super star!
I’m surprised that you didn’t mention swords upgrades in forgotten land. Sword has always been my favorite copy ability and the upgrades in forgotten land perfect it.
Sword was already one of my favorite abilities and Forgotten Land just made it better.
Sword always sucked ass but then forgotten land happened
@@masonmurphy5402 sword’s pretty decent tho, always a good fallback when you don’t know what to use
Animal should’ve 100% been in forgotten land instead of drill! Heck the main enemy group is called the BEAST pack! It’s such an extremely massive missed opportunity and I’m so mad….
@@LowErengyoldchannel they really could’ve just brought back Gaw Gaw and Gao Gao, I’m not mad at you just the fact that they scrapped the idea.
@@LowErengyoldchannel yeah I was about to say, it would probably be confusing for the average player about what enemy could give them animal, or if all do, then animal would show up way too often.
@@LowErengyoldchannel I mean if that’s the case then that’s dumb logic. Even in Squeak squad not all animals have animal just Gaw Gaws and Gao Gao….
@@Someguyonline24 same…
Actually, it should have been an evolution of Drill so that Flagship can continue barely being acknowledged in Kirby games.
We love to see Mirror getting the respect it has always deserved but never received (ignoring the one game only abilities which have gotten even less) Mirror is so fun and useful it was always my go to when it existed in a game
I'm so happy Yoyo made it so high up. It's always been my favourite and I always used it in Superstar. Honestly I though I was alone on this because non of my friends ever used it when we played Superstar
👆👆👆Thanks for watching and
Commenting, hit me up I have a surprise 🎁🎁 for you.....
Fellow Yoyo lover!!! It's always been my favorite too!
Funnily enough, the only kirby games I've played are Adventure, Super Star Ultra, and Planet Robobot, and the ladder two are the only two appearances of Mirror, so I had been under the impression that Mirror was very common in this series. I had honestly forgotten about it completely because it had been so long! Now I want to replay Robobot lol.
Do it, I picked it up again yesterday and it's still stellar as heck.
This seemed like an obvious video for a channel like this, and I can tell it’s going to be good.
Here's my top 5 personally:
5. Hammer, almost got a bit bored of this before Forgotten Land where the hits feel so impactful and reminded me why I like this ability so much.
4. Spear, For so many years I loved Spear. It's fast,l ong and turns me into a helicopter. All I felt like this ability was missing was some kind of dash attack. Then Bandana Dee got Ground Thrust in Star Allies and everything was right with the world again.
3. Yo-yo, this ability just feels so smooth and cool to use. Plus the backwards cap is always a plus.
2. Fighter, I get to be Ryu from Streets and use a command input. This is always a reliable ability to thrash anyone around in.
1. Sword. This is like picking Charizard as your favourite Pokemon. "Wow you must really like stale bread too huh?" But I can't help it. It's moveset is so full and fluid. All of it's moves feel like they connect into each other. And who doesn't love a good duel with the coolest knight around.

i'm so happy that beam made it to the top 5
and i really hope beam does get the time to shine in another 3D adventure
I'm honestly shocked that they didn't bring Animal back for forgotten land. I mean come on, the outfit he puts on literally looks like an Awoofy! It would've been perfect!
Congratulations on 200 episodes, Antdude! Your Kirby marathon videos were my introduction to you and I've never looked back since.
The thing about Throw is that throwing enemies is stronger than just spitting them out. Throwing enemies acts like you've sucked up 2 or more enemies and you can aim it.
the commentary on some of these bits are strikingly similar if not the same to a video @SilveryMP did a while back. you should credit him in a pinned comment or something. :)
Facts!
I think I remember a Silvery video talking about that, has he deleted it?
Wing Kirby and the bird buddy were my favourite in ultra!! Defeating bosses as a cute lil bird was a highlight of my childhood
3:53 it was also meant for Milky Way wishes. You could get it on its own isolated planet without visiting the others and it allows you to basically have the copy ability before you start getting the permanent ones.
Congrats on the 200 eps milestone, Ant and really hope you can keep going! :D Your vids are always a great time hehe ^^ this was a fun ranking list as well lol
Beam is so solid and iconic that I think it's more iconic than sword and also more fun (unless you're fighting Meta Knight, of course. Give the man an honourable duel!)
Congrats on 200 episodes, and thanks for all the fun provided!
to 300 and beyond! cheers to Kirby!
Man, I loved this list, but I would have put fire and sword higher because of the upgrades of Forgotten Land - moving around with dragon fire is sooooo satisfying, I spent most of my game with it. And the final sword upgrade is really OP!
Congrats on 200 episodes, Ant! Just a suggestion, but what if you were to do a Smash Bros copy ability ranking as well? Whatever you do next, best wishes for everything!
35:14 I will! Thank you AntDude!
I always felt whip didn't get the love it deserved; felt more like a timing-based ability to me. I love all the angles you can attack from along with the rapid-hitting whip, but it is kinda weak in terms of damage.
I had no idea that you could swallow those little balls that those bosses shoot and get the Paint ability. That's a Kirby ability I'd never even seen before. I learned something today.
The number of times I get a mix instead of Paint from Chameleo Arm is hilarious.
best 200 episode video ever! i love your Kirby videos so much!
Congrats on making it so far Antdude!
This year has been such an amazing year for the pink puff ball. Amazing work in the video as always dude. There are so many good, weird and bad… copy ability’s so this must have taken ages to do. Happy 30th Anniversary Kirby 💫
28:39 I wonder if Kirby can also turn people into snails with his rainbows
I absolutely love the justice you gave poison
Poison is my favorite abilities in Robobot and I'm glad it got pretty high
Wow man I can't believe that your top two were the same top two as mine just in reverse order!!! Love to see love for those lesser seen abilities!!
Copy is also useful for something in Super Star: Copy a Scarfy to get Crash!
This is a cool thing unique to Copy that’s not very well known. You can’t inhale a Scarfie so people generally assume you can’t get a copy ability from them.
Mirror is my favorite ability as well! I was over the moon when I saw it at number one.
Man it's been a while since one of these!! Amazing video
I love how doctor kirby plays, especially the ways he was redesigned visually for Super Kirby Clash. They make him a little wizard crafting potions, while still performing all the same attacks
Congratulations on 200 episodes! Here's to many more episodes along the way!
200th episode?
Imagine if one day a kirby game lanches with every single ability seen up until now, it would be crazy
Yesss, a great top two. Even if I was starting to worry that number one would get somehow passed over by mistake until it finally showed up, haha.
What I love about Yoyo is that it's so unique. Especially the aspect that it's a superb close, grappling, and long range ability with many uses in-between. It's easily my favorite. Also, where do u get your Sonic and Kirby wall decorations in the background?
This video is eerily similar to Silvery's video he uploaded a while ago. Like, the wording is nearly the same in some segments.
I saw the video about him talking about it.
👆👆👆Thanks for watching and
Commenting, hit me up I have a surprise 🎁🎁 for you.
Facts!
Mad respect for using the Peppermint Palace theme with Ice Kirby
Amazing Mirror had a fantastic soundtrack, and that's easily a top 3 track.
I had this on in the background while doing some homework and nearing the end I had thought that maybe I had missed when you said mirror kirby. needless to say, i was very satisfied once I saw the number 1😌
Great video! Congrats on your 200th!
Ah yes the 200th episode is a Kirby episode. Truly one of the moments of all time.
Thank you for apologizing about the color about your walls.
Huh? There’s 277 videos.

Wow… I remember watching your videos *years* ago. Glad to see you’re still going well.
Forgot the part of upgraded sleep in Forgotten Land where it also doubles your health bar and gives you a timed speed boost. That puts it up way higher for me
Don't forget the third member of the "store buffs you can randomly get from the Deep Sleep evolution" crew, the attack boost!
Mirror is my favourite ability and I really wish we'd have gotten to see it in Forgotten Land!
Happy 200th, Antdude! Here's for another 200! Cheers! o/
Every time i watch a new video from antdude i just vibe to the intro EVERY SINGLE TIME (its so good)

I've been maining Yo-Yo since the SNES days and I'm so glad that it got to where it was based on merit alone. Made me all the more eager watching through seeing how increasingly glowing the summaries got.
I personally like archer, it's cool, and it does basically the same amount of damage as hammer.
That break in the middle reminded me that i was watching this at 3 in the morning. I'll finish the rest tommorow.
This was fun to watch. Thank you.
The fact that Ant and I have the same favourite ability makes me SO unreasonably happy 😭😭 I've never fully understood why I love mirror as much as I do, but honestly I think you summarized it pretty accurately!! Amazing video all around :D
Mirror is by far my favourite ability in the entire Kirby Franchise.
Mirror is also recorded as being THE most popular Copy Ability in the franchise thanks to the 3DS backdrop being the result of a survey ranking the Copy Abilities.
When I was very young Sword and Wing were my favorite ones and I loved them so much
You can't imagine my shock and joy when I played Triple Deluxe and found out Beetle was like a combination of the 2, still remains my favorite to this day
mirror was always my favorite ability. the first Kirby game i played was superstar at a friend house and man i loved the mirror ability. so sad it's in so few games.
Happy 200th episode man. Its been a great year of videos and this is a perfect video to end it. Kirby fans have been eating good this year and this is a great topic to pick.
Uh well no they haven't because the HD Remake Blue Ray DVD of Kirby Right Back At Ya fuck that shit because that should never fucking exist at all because we need a Sequel and adding new characters and keeping Tiff, Tuff, and Escargoon in it but this is just a fucking mistake it's terrible
The “Love-Love Stick” sounds like an item used for personal pleasure.
And there's probably a replica used for just that, out there x)
Congratulations on 200
So glad to see my second favourite appearing in the top 10, and I'm not surprised my favourite NEEDLE is in the middle. I fell in love with it from aesthetic to hat to colour combo from its NMID and anime iteration, so I realise personal bias plays a huge part.
Point is, copy abilities rule. But Light could've at least given Kirby sunglasses, COME OOOOOOON! He gets them in the ability icon.
Odd, I hate spiders and Spider happens to be one of my favorite abilities, especially design wise.
Real spiders: AAAAAAH.
Cartoony ones: AAAAAAW.
Something like that x)
Yeah, pretty much
You forgot the final form of sword in forgotten land is Morpho knight. And that’s just fantastic
YES! Mirror has always been one of my very favourite abilities and I am so sad it is not in more games

I LOVE MIRROR KIRBY!!! The whole episode I was wondering hmm who could it be 🤔 but I completely forgot about my FAVORITE ABILITY!! Dope list.
I guess you could say mirror is… AMAZING
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
It's funny how the game with the most Kirby copy abilities isn't even a Kirby game, but rather Smash Bros Ultimate. Though I suppose when you think about it, at its heart, the entire Smash Bros series is just a fighting adaptation of the classic 2D Kirby formula.
Now I just want a ranking on every copy ability in Smash Bros
Happy 200th Antdude!
I kept watching, thinking "I wonder where mirror will fall on this list." Never did I think I'd see another big Mirror fan to rank it so perfectly.
Kirby’s number one copy ability is copying perfection 👌
and luckily it's the default
But you can't copy dedede
AntDude should apologize to Silvery because...you know.
Facts!
For what?

Fun fact! The grab in Ninja is called an Inzuna drop, and is something of a staple of fighting game Ninjas. Examples can be seen in Samurai Shodown and Marvel vs. Capcom.
Nioh has a really cool Izuna Drop as well!
I will never grow tired of Kirby, or this man.
I had an idea for a replacement for Sleep if it ever got its Battle Royale moveset back in a mainline called Lazy. Kirby would don a pair of underwear and sit down doing nothing until getting back up. An upgraded version giving him a couch and a bag of chips to heal himself with.
Ant Dude's love for Kirby is like no other.
YESSSS Two of my favorite abilities at the top, I love them so much
i haven’t had a chance to play all the kirby games yet and i forgot back drop was a thing. i don’t think i ever actually used it, but it’s super cool to see where the inspiration for kirby’s back throw in smash bros comes from. as well as all of his other moves.
