Cupid

"Fire a pointy arrow. Press and release B to fire the arrow. Change where you aim with the Control Pad."

- Cupid's Flavour Text

Cupid (known as Angel in Japanese versions) is one of Kirby's newer Copy abilities, making its debut in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror and later returning in Kirby: Squeak Squad. It is a heavenly ability that gives Kirby a whole slew of useful ranged attacks. Upon inhaling Cupie, Kirby gains feathery wings, a halo, a bow, and an endless supply of heart-shaped arrows.

General Information
Kirby can effortlessly fly around and shoot his pointy arrows at his enemies. The number of arrows Cupid Kirby uses is based solely of how long the player holds down the B button. The longer it is held, the more arrows Kirby uses. Unfortunately, the arrows fall to the ground after traveling a short distance. To make up for that though, Kirby is also able to angle his shots to make sure he can hit the enemy.

The ability's name was presumably changed to Cupid to avoid religious connotations, much like the changing of the name of Demon Beasts in the anime.

Trivia

 * Artwork resembling the Cupid ability appears on the cover to Volume 21 of the Hoshi no Kaabii manga.


 * The hat Kirby gains from copying Pit and his attack with it in Super Smash Bros. Brawl resembles Cupid Kirby. He even has the wings.
 * Cupid Kirby appears as a sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl using his design from the Amazing Mirror. It makes the Star Rod more likely to appear when a character goes through a door.
