Kirby's Copy Abilities and Hats - History and Trivia in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

[Winnieguy]

but wait, kirby's snake bandana or headband w/e he's wearing, has only 1 strip instead of 2 as snake's

[Winnieguy]

But u can say kirby's tornado is actually a ressemblance of its own game since there's a size difference, in his game the tornado is quite small, like in brawl, kirby's nado is smaller than MK's

[MrMerchiodos]

You forgot to mention that Kirby hat for Ron comes from Kirby copy ability hat in super star ultra

[joshdm1986]

I just realized what the inspiration for Majin Boo from DBZ was.....

[SNIPERGUY9294]

I feel like such a noob for never knowing about the Reverse Falcon Punch.

Also, Kirby sneezing and Kirby faceplanting after using DK's punch are both adorable. :D

[xGalladeLuigix]

i love how kirby sais BEEEEAAAM when he's firing robs laser xD

[BazookaWorm14]

7:28 it's not shaped different, it's just 3-D

[theshredder39]

oh Kirby, you're so alone being the only character who can copy abilities, dammit Sakurai talk to Capcom about adding Megaman already he'd be badass

[jasmin8ter2010]

8:24 I played Super Smash Bros. Melee and used Kirby's copy ability on the Ice Climbers- and he inhaled NANA, even though he got Popo's parka.

[MrMariofan2020]

In Nightmare in Dream land, Kirby's freeze ability has him wearing the EXACT same parka as in Brawl!!!

[jasmin8ter2010]

3:55 I never understood why there are 4 Kirbies in Kirby and the Amazing Mirror.

[PhantomDusclops92]

@jasmin8ter2010 Dark Meta Knight sliced Kirby in 4 pieces.

[thevalcheto]

when captain falcon did his punch i saw knuckles runing behind

[AwesomeLatias]

U r rlly smart

[rmc10o]

He also gets a blue colored link hat for the bomb ability

[Leevolu1]

boom sonic boom sonic boom ^^

[jasmin8ter2010]

Since Kirby has his copy abilities in Super Smash Bros. Melee too, I used his copy ability on Dr. Mario (and gained his pill-throwing ability) and I called him "Dr. Kirby"!

[shyguylover1102]

waddle dee is the cutest enemy especially with the umbrellas

[patateaucheesewezz1]

Is it me, or Kirby with Snake's hat remind me of Chuck Norris?

[Black57aR]

Kirby Super Star = Best game ever for me.

[bubbatheloveable]

I never knew captain falcon can do a reverse falcon punch... I'VE WASTED MY LIFE ACTUALLY HAVING A LIFE and NOT figuring this out

[2dog14]

It's kinda funny how all these things fit together

[linkace1595]

kirby say beep when he cobys r.o.b

[jasmin8ter2010]

5:14 Kirby sounds funny when he does a Falcon Punch in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It sounds like "Falc-unch!" instead of "Falcon Punch!".

[ActionStar00]

that's why i always call pit kirby Cupid Kirby

[KirbyKips]

i never knew all of this......wow...poyo pyo

[TheZeldaCinema]

Lol I don't like how they made Toon Link in Brawl because he shouldn't have textures. Does anyone agree with me? Thumbs up if you do.

[HummusMan300]

interesting i never noticed this before

[Luxrayluver598]

Here's my opinions about some things about this video:

1: Jigglypuff's (or Purin's) voice is SO cute, despite me being a boy

2: I don't see any Waddle Dee and Donkey Kong's skin color be any similar

3: Kirby's Samus power is maybe a reference to Dragon Ball Z (LOL)

4: Ice Climber's coat on Kirby is so adorable (again despite me being a boy)

5: You forgot one thing, @CrappyCaptureDevice, Link's and the sword hat is similar, not the same, because look at the ends of their hats

[dannintendofan]

I don't know if you gonna find this important, but Kirby uses a hat very similar to Popo in Kirby Noghtmare In Dream Land when he's using the freeze ability.

[Mrdantheman510]

i might be wrong about kirby's copy of ness but doesn't it looks more like the wheel ability than the yo-yo? you do have points that they resemble.

[Tyre408]

the reason kirby can shoot an arm cannon with it is coz hes just that awesome.

[KirbyVoid]

The pan could be a reference to cook Kirby.

[pagooo]

You forgot

In legend of zelda, Link could shoot sword beams. When Kirby gains the sword hat in super star ultra, he can shoot sword beams at full health.

[secretsolver8]

I just want to point out that you got the Ice Climbers hat wrong! It does not come from Kirby's Adventure, it's actually from the remake! When Kirby gets the freeze ability, the hat he gets looks exactly like Ice Climbers hat. Not trying to be mean, I'm just pointing something out.

[PichuIsMyFavorite]

Sonic boom Sonic boom SAVE THE PLANET FROM DISASTER

[kishire6murcielago]

Okay, I like this vid and all, but some things kind of bug me. For example, I think the Donkey Kong to Waddle Dee is a bit of a stretch, but you say the relation to Pit's hat and the cupid ability is probably a coincidence, even though the wings the halo are present (though the halo is some sort of ring thing that's actually being worn on the head, but similar nonetheless). Whatever, still cool!

[vulcanblast1]

dude, you got your own article on smashwiki!

[pgj1997]

kirby doesn't have ears

[caszelda]

Isn't links neutral A combo almost the same as the attack kirby uses at 9:26?

[jasmin8ter2010]

And when Kirby copies Mario, he just gets the red hat and does NOT grow a mustache, so why does he have, like, 5 o'clock shadow when he copies Snake?

[ahngele]

kirby doesn't have ears

[2010josem]

kirby decided to go mystic at 7:11

[TurboMiroku]

Thumbs up if you had to rewind at 3:19 to listen to that epic Kirby song.

[EduardoRojasJara]

6:00 FACEPALM

[neoman289151]

Or perhaps meta knights attack is a reference in itself.. :o

[2001kirby]

I think kirbypuff says SHOOG, 'EY! which is pretty random

[JacksonSTUFF777]

Sonic BOOOM! Sonic BOOOM!! Sonic BOO SAVE THE PLANET FROM DISASTER!!!

[Hademaster64tv]

I think the only reason kirby's game and watch pan is "shaped" differently is because his pan has three dimensions opposed to mr. game and watch's two dimensions.

[TheDeadpoolOwns]

1:53 Knuckles: Yup, two puffballs yelling Purin. Nothing wrong with it. Just gonna run around a loop.

3:30 Knuckles: Yup, a pink puffball swallowing a robot, the pooping him out, nothing wrong.

6:02 Knuckles: Yup, a guy throwing grenades at an innocent citizen nothing wrong.

Tails: Nope.

[MyCrash97]

@TheDeadpoolOwns you forgot silvers one at 2:47.

Silver: hm, a pink marshmallow with lots of hair on him, nothing wrong there.

[TheDeadpoolOwns]

@MyCrash97 XD Yeah. Kinda stupid of them...

I mean, seeing all the crap happening back there and they're like, " Oh look, something VERY stinking disturbing, nothing wrong. :|

[VentusFan689]

@TheDeadpoolOwns You forgot 5:20

[TheDeadpoolOwns]

@VentusFan689 Yeah, but nothing funny's happening.

[weegee100]

@TheDeadpoolOwns also

5:19 Knux: yup, a pink puffball swallowing the king of evil. nothing wrong with it. just gonna run a loop.

[TheDeadpoolOwns]

1:53 Knuckles: Yup, two puffballs yelling Purin. Nothing wrong with it. Just gonna run around a loop.

3:30 Knuckles: Yup, a pink puffball swallowing a robot, the pooping him out, nothing wrong.

[TheDeadpoolOwns]

1:53 Knuckles: Yup, two puffballs yelling Purin. Nothing wrong with it. Just gonna run around a loop.

[ryotmaneX]

ness' up smash is similar (if not identical) to one of yo-yo kirby's attacks.

[SmashBroGameAndWatch]

When Kirby is sent flying, it looks kind of like when he dies in the games. Same with Rollout.

[97Milo9TV]

3:04 Waaath? In KSS there was the laser ability?

:( I have only playe KSSU and laser is not there :(

[tyomcha1]

@97Milo9TV It said "in Kirby's Adventure", not "in Kirby Super Star".

[TheGameBoy17]

I wonder if the other characters have copyright on their attacks.

If they have,i don´t think Kirby is going to get another game!

[sgtank123]

am i the only one who saw silver in 2:48?

[jamrew]

@sgtank123 no i did

[weegee100]

@jamrew sorry it was acctullay me not sgtank123

[sgtank123]

am i the only one who saw silver in 2:48

[Playingwithmahwiifan]

i always laugh when kirby is in captain falcon "FALCO PAWCH" XD

[ssbfan9]

kirby's pan is not diferent then mr.gw its just 3d

[TehRealLemmyKoopa]

Kirby doesnt need an arm cannon. Hes just that pimpin

[solidsnake2234]

JESUS CHRIST! who knew Lucario had blue balls THAT big XD (couldn't resist)

[babbit09]

i dont see a triforce symbal on zelda hat. 3:43 kirby needs a censor?!

[Hazardlol]

0:25 KIRBY! USE FLAMETHOWER

lawl

[MarkHajdukSplit]

haha kirby copies marth's "look like a girl" ability

[RBMNintendoGamer]

It's curious that Kirby has got all this amount of special attacks in the game, when the rest of the characters only have got four... Well, if we have got that Kirby series and Super Smash Bros. series are both developed by HAL Laboratory, then we can say that Kirby is a privileged... no?

[Jaxxon10]

I love Kirby :3

[darthvaderluigi]

that is why i call sword kirby link kirby lol

[DaNumba1Rapper]

8:47 Ryu from Street Fighter for the next Smash :O

HADOUKEN

(in addition to Megaman of course)

[cristian1233046]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssss

[MikeXel1]

?

Why haven't i subscibed yet after watch your videos for months now *Subscribes*

[bigheadmario1]

How'd you get eight melodies on new pork city? That song isn't in brawl...

[wockyjet]

solid snake kirby is epic

[DepressionMoon]

Oh snap I didn't realize that SSBB contained so much fan service. I never noticed the one foot thing from SS to SSBB until this.

[windterminator49]

@7:27 cook Kirby battle!! xD

[EvilMarioDragon123]

WHO THE HELL IS PURIN HER/HIS NAME IS JIGGLY PUFF

[Random90sKid]

@EvilMarioDragon123 dude,chill the fuck out,it's Jigglypuff's Japanese name.

[EvilMarioDragon123]

@Random90sKid ok man oh and im a girl

[lotest11]

Kirby:*Inhales&copies Samus*

Samus:(stunned)

Kirby:HAGUKEN!!!

Samus:0.o

[allyman89]

no one can survive a Falcon Punch. thats why Kirby and Captain Falcon both got KOed by it

[MegaAwesome85]

2:08 I think kirby actually says "Jig-gly!" not "Pur-in.

[swirledmoonpie]

2:07 look how he rolled over the crack

[xXEdnaldoPereiraXx]

reverse falcon punch?

how i do this?

[davidefurigay]

@xXEdnaldoPereiraXx do the attack and almost instantly after you bush B slide the thumb stick or D-pad in the opposite direction you are facing i mean instantly!!!

but not too early that you will face the other direction before activating it

so summary press B after you do instantly slide the thumb-stick (or d pad ) in the opposite direction.sorry for over explaining :D

[Ecalyptus90]

kirby looks more like Iceman from Megaman when in ice climber hat

[jamesogletree1997]

9:10 look at snake



[XBOX360WiiPlayer]

does kirby have ears?

[Linkkirbydotexe]

@XBOX360WiiPlayer

I was going to ask the same thing! :)

[XBOX360WiiPlayer]

BEEEEEEEEE

[tyklay]

LOL 1:26 - 1:33 The land hates you!

[XxBlaZe5597xXchobots]

OMG u put OoT! :')

[vetrioman]

hamehame ha ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ 7:15

[zemajoad]

Kirby with the DK abilities sames a Hersheys!!! hahahaha

[Drewdaddy00]

5:33-5:37

Kirby looks cute here!

[hdrub]

kirby's copy ability makes him the awesomest character.

[BotiBalint]

how do you do reverse falcon punch/warlock puncs?

[Shredderade]

@BotiBalint right after you press b hold the analog stick in the opposite direction you're facing. you have to do it just after you press b though

[Nintendofan146]

Respond to this video...

I know this is irrealivent, but in the original, Link's hat for Kirby WAS Sword's hat without the ball.

[DwanorBloodguard]

so basicly,all of what everyone is wearing on their heads are what kirby wears?

[CrystalJupiter]

Another thing...isn't Super Smash Bros. developed by HAL?

I noticed some similarities between the Brawl menu and the Brawl menu. Just to point that out.

[MrWarioman64]

@CrystalJupiter the brawl menu and the brawl menu? don't you mean the menu from kirby super star if not another kirby game?

[CrystalJupiter]

@MrWarioman64 ACK! Typo! I meant "some similarities between the Brawl menu and the Kirby Air Ride menu".

[toiletmunger]

If this were about the history of Kirby hats in general instead of just the hats in the Smash Bros. games, you could've included something about Kirby's fighter ability being incredibly similar to Ryu's moveset in Street Fighter.

[ColossalM]

Lol, when I was playing Nightmare in Dreamland this morning, I got tornado and I was like "LOOK AT ME, I'M META KNIGHT"

Then I saw this and thought, "Whoa, coincidence much?"

[CheatfinderGB]

omg without arm cannon!!!What did he do swallow goku or something

[HyperSonicStudio42]

does kirby even have ears

[nahnah390]

wait scence when did kirby get ears?

[Shredderade]

whenever i see snake kirby i think " oh crap! kirby hit puberty!"

[Arceus9295]

Who DOESN'T know that Sword Kirby's hat is a reference to Link?

[Xgcvd]

Talk about staying true to the game! Amazing.

[MrMK109]

"He somehow still uses the Charge beam without the arm cannon"

Maybe Kirby just knows Hadouken. He did it in Super Smash Bros. manga.

[ultimantomega]

I am a zelda fan and i just noticed that when kirby eats zelda he gets that hat i knew it looked familure i cant believe i didnt reconixe it ocarina of time is my favorite zelda

[ZhadowFalcon]

In Kirby's AirRide note how he looks with the freeze/ice ability...

[1000g2g3g4g800999]

Nightmare in Dreamland was one of my favorite GBA games.

[IwubMaiColettie]

What's the point of the Reverse Falcon & warlock punches?

[kplc993]

@IwubMaiColettie Surprising your opponents, mainly.

[IwubMaiColettie]

@kplc993 oh i heard tht in made it have more knockback or somthing :S

[kplc993]

Well, I did say mainly...

[GigaCaptainOlimar]

@IwubMaiColettie They get slightly more powerful.

[pikmin3411]

wait a minute. KIRBY DOESNT HAVE EARS

[superpiano9943]

Shadow Kirby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alecandmattgeil]

a headband comment: Snake know a basic form of CQC (close quarters combat) so it would make some sence (if you like MGS)

[Felipipe1]

You've said that when his grenade explodes nearby, Kirby cover his ears, but I don't see any ears on Kirby!!

[LogoAttitude]

Also, Charizard's Flamethrower functions similar to Fire Kirby as well

[LogoAttitude]

Other similarities not in the video:

Rollout functions similar to Wheel Kirby

And some similarities that are not in Brawl:

Link's Boomerang functions similar to the Cutter ability

Roy's Flare Blade (and for that matter, Ike's Eruption) allow Kirby to use a flaming sword, just like the mix abilities and K64 and Squeak Squad

Young Link's Fire Bow is similar to the Burning/Cutter mix ability in Kirby 64

[Superchao142]

About Lucario and Kirby. In Kirby and the Amazing Mirror When Fighter Kirby in low on health his blast becomes strounger and bigger.

[Davidtruthrock]

Kirby is a he

[Shredderade]

BEEEEEEEEP! and FALCON PUNCH! the only two kirby abilities that have me laughing each time i hear them

[Jacornonthecob]

In Kirby Air Ride Kirby's ice form looked like Popo.

[ignacio0901]

maybe when he copies jiglipuff he dont say purin if not kiir-byy

[xX5Rafael5Xx]

@ignacio0901 I don't hear the b when he saids "kirby" he saids Purin not Kirby

[brennnnnaxd]

Kirby's amazing sucking powers.

[LogoAttitude]

Another thing to add: when Kirby copies Samus, the attack copied is similar in function to Kirby's UFO ability and the KSS incarnation of the Beam ability

[SushiBrawl]

I think there were rumors before the release of the game of Kirby being able to swallow items and use them as an ability. Like eating a saber sword for sword kirby and eating a fire flower for fire kirby.

[supershadow125]

@SushiBrawl i heard those to but that would be cool bomb-omb= bomb kirby and a smart bomb = crash kirby so he would have 2 final smashes?

[Markau102]

Um, yeah, WHY didn't you use kirby's wheelie hat to show similarities to his ness hat???

[Cheetah1251]

The lasers also bounce off of curved surfaces with regular ROB too.

[Marzell765]

I dunno if the doney kong one was accurate but, your not a robot. And your WAY smarter at this than me.

[sonicschooler]

When you said it'll will always be 18% when kirby uses aura sphere but that depends on the characters defense. otherwise, good job!

[stewiedude59]

The animation for Kirbys charge beam should have looked like a kame hame ha.

[Jeff0909090]

i don't know if anyone has said this... but when you copy Meta-Knight, his Mach Tornado Ability of the same name from Kirby's Adventure (Or Kirby Super Star... whichever it debuted in)

[TheBlueMarth]

it's amazing how much effort you're putting into these videos compared to all the other people making history videos.

[pfaccioxx]

I see what you're saying about the Kirby hats in the discipson but I'm still glad you did make a video for em anyways :)

[NinjaMuffinMaster]

Purin? Hah. Wasn't he dubbed in Melee? Odd, Nintendo must have not noticed it..

[PhantomDusclops92]

9:25 Some Italian fans call the Sword ability "Kirby cosplaying as Link ability" just for that.

[RareKong]

bandana not headband

[Pika740]

Man that Sonic Boom song sucks ass. It's annoying to hear it.

[Lucario42586]

Wow, alot of this stuff I had no idea about. Awesome to finally see Lucario in a video of yours. Hopefully you play the newer pokemon games for him and PT.

Can't wait for Fox's. He should be next if you are following the select screen.

[gamerandwatcher2000]

I always giggle when I hear Kirby using ROB's special ability.

"BEEEEEEEEEEE" XD

[CrystalJupiter]

@gamerandwatcher2000 LOL

It's so unbearably cute. xD

[loubaren]

I just noticed, you didn't mention that the way kirby falls when he can't jump or up-B anymore(in Brawl) is like when he falls from a certain height in the kirby games

[DarkMarc9001]

@loubaren

Is this a history on Kirby's moves and abilities? No.

[loubaren]

@DarkMarc9001 Both vids were released at the same time and are obviously related. It really doesn't matter.

[DarkMarc9001]

@loubaren

I know they're related, but this is a video about Kirby's COPY Abilities and Hats. Not his techniques altogether.

[TheRealCodeBlack]

Also for Ice/Freeze Kirby, the Kirby hat for Ice/Freeze when they gave all abilities hats in Superstar was a Parka like that, I think, only Kirby himself was colored blue. It could be more than a coincide that the two hats look almost identical.

[marnea1]

Because of their similarities, In Kirby Super Star, Ice and Freeze were essentially put together into the "new" Ice ability, which gave Kirby an Icy Crown and colored him blue. Kirby didn't actually wear a parka for his Freeze ability until the remake of Kirby's Adventure, Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland for the GBA; which looked suspiciously similar to Popo's from Melee. However in Kirby Air Ride, Ice Looks and functions almost exactly the same way Freeze did in Nightmare in Dreamland.

[swampertkamm85]

Dude you're awesome. I love the vids as a SSBB and SSBM and SSB gamer myself.

[Nimbi64]

I think Snake's grenade actions may be a reference to one of the MGS games, though I've hardly played any.

[BeastingYouForever]

MetaKnight's moves, I think, are a reference to Kirby's power-ups.

[t7clough]

its been a long since you did two HB vids in a day. good job!!

[Hawelo92]

Kirby Super Star <3

[MontHenryKnitly]

also with ice climber's hat, i think it was the same hat as he had in nightmare in dreamland, but i think that was supposed to be like his hat, since the game was after melee and had quite a few similarities with melee.

[Darkspine345]

Kirby wears Ness' hat how Ninten did in Mother.

[HeroOfLights]

Wow, you started using fades to transition between takes! Great job as always.!

[blaziken1234]

Great job on covering Kirby's moves. My only concern are that you missed a few things, all of which involve Kirby's moves, not his hats and their trivia.

1.) Go back to 3:10 in the video. You'll notice the way he climbs the hill. One of Kirby's rolling edge-recovery animations are similar to this.

2.) 5:50 Whenever Kirby punches (or does something to go into falling state), he does the same animation as when he falls for a while in his games.

3.) The "Hi!" down taunt was missed altogether.
