Crash

"KO all foes with a big BOOM! But be careful. This ultimate weapon has only 1 charge."

- Crash's Flavor Text

Crash is one of Kirby's copy abilities and one of the most powerful in the games, being able to hit everywhere on the screen but has only one single use. It first appeared in Kirby's Adventure, where Kirby would freeze everything on the screen in place before flying across the screen erratically at a rapid pace, doing massive damage to everything. In subsequent games, Kirby would simply summon a massive energy surge around him to the achieve the same effect: burning every enemy on-screen to deal massive damage.

In the anime
Crash Kirby also appears in two episodes of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. It is the only time that Kirby dons a hat for the ability (In the games Kirby just flashes when he has the ability, like with most other one-use abilities). In the transformation sequence, bands of light which represent the atom form the hat that lands on him and changes his color.

Instead of creating an explosion directly from his body Kirby pulls a white-hot orb of energy out of his mouth then raises it over his head. The ensuing explosion is unique in that Kirby can choose who it harms so his friends don't get hurt - unlike the Mike ability.

Trivia

 * If the other limited-use abilities that appear in the Kirby Super Star/Kirby Super Star Ultra sub-game Milky Way Wishes aren't counted, Crash is the only ability that can be obtained through inhaling, and lacks a Deluxe version.
 * Crash is one of the few times Kirby's teeth are shown in the series. (in Kirby Super Star, Kirby grits his teeth as he prepares for the blast. But in Kirby Super Star Ultra, his teeth don't appear.)
 * In Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land and Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, Kirby does an "X" move with his hands before creating the explosion.
 * In the anime, it was once mentioned that King Dedede has a fear of the Crash ability.
 * In Kirby Super Star Ultra, lightning flies from Kirby, and he does a few flips when using the Crash ability.
 * Crash Kirby's behavior may act like the atomic bomb explosion, althought the atomic bomb were used twice and Kirby could only use it once.
 * In Air-Ride-in-Style - Part II, as Kirby transforms into crash Kirby, Meta Knight tells which ability he gets, even though Meta Knight isn't even on the screen.
