Mirror

"This mirror has odd powers! Deflect projectiles or project doubles of yourself!"

- Mirror's Flavour text

Mirror is one of Kirby's Copy abilities. It debuted alongside abilities like Yo-Yo and Plasma in Kirby Super Star.

With this illusory ability, Kirby is granted the power to create mirror images of himself to confuse enemies and perform multiple attacks at once. This mind boggling ability also gives Kirby a golden scepter which is able to project a glassy, near-invisible blade which can not only be used as a sharp blade to slice enemies, but also as a shield to protect him from enemies too close for comfort and their projectiles.

Not only does Kirby get a magic scepter when he inhales the wizardly Simirror, but also a jester cap that looks just like the hat Beam Kirby wears. Strangely, the coloration of this hat is also reminiscent of the hat Marx wears (apart from the fact that Marx's hat colors are switched).

Kirby: Right Back At Ya!
Despite the popularity of this ability, so far this and both versions of Kirby Super Star are the only places it has appeared. Naturally, the ability is mostly unchanged from the game version, including the same hat.

The attacks Kirby uses are Reflect Guard, Mirror Body and Mirror Cut. When he uses Reflect Guard, he gains a translucent rainbow-colored force shield.

Mirror Body is greatly updated - instead of only two, Kirby creates dozens and dozens of copies, all of which can harm the enemy.

His most powerful is the Mirror Cut, where his scepter turns into a shimmering sword that he'll use to cut the enemy in two.

In the Transformation Sequence, Kirby looks at a mirror then spins until it breaks turning into Mirror Kirby. The broken mirror forms into the tip of his scepter.

Trivia

 * Some of Marx/Marx Soul attacks involve him splitting in half and doing a certain attack. One of the moves Kirby can use with the Mirror ability lets Kirby split in two and damage every enemy that comes in contact with Kirby. Because of this, Marx's mirror-like wings, and the fact that Marx's hat resembles that of Mirror Kirby, Marx may be related to this ability.
 * Like the Beam ability, the official artwork shows stars on both sides of his hat.
 * Despite Simirror is the only one who gives this ability, it is also the easiest to obtain by mixing. If you wait long enough while it is mixing, you get this ability.
 * Ironically, Mirror Kirby doesn't appear in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror.
