- Using Kirby

Normal refers to Kirby's state when he does not have a Copy Ability.

General Information
While in this state, Kirby can employ his classic inhale and spit tactics, or he can swallow an enemy to try to obtain an ability. His StarSpit is fairly powerful, but against bosses and mid-bosses, he has to rely on using their attacks against them, thus requiring Kirby to wait for an opening instead of being able to attack almost anytime. In certain Boss Endurance events, Kirby is locked to his Normal state.

Normal does not have a Helper, unlike most Copy Abilities; however, it does have some equivalents. Differently colored Kirbys serve as characters with identical abilities to Kirby himself. Gooey acts very similar to Normal, but uses his tongue to grab instead of inhaling, meaning he can grab foes and objects underwater, but cannot utilize stronger star spit. Tac, the Helper for Copy, performs similarly to Normal, but outstretches his hand to attack and steal abilities, which replenish his health upon transforming, as well as being able to perform an invincible Guard.
