Ghost

"I will possess... I will control... I'm a spooky soul... I'm not scary, though. Right?"

- Ghost's Flavor Text

General Information
Ghost is one of Kirby's many copy abilities. It first appeared in Kirby: Squeak Squad as an unlockable unique ability and has only appeared in that game.

Ghost can be copied from the unique mini-boss, Tedhaun. Tedhauns replace one mini-boss from each level after all 7 Ghost Medal pieces have been collected. Otherwise, inhaling two Noddies at once and letting the mix roulette stop on its own will yield Ghost. A Copy bubble of Ghost will also be inside the Secret Area once all seven pieces of the Secret Map have been collected.

Ghost gives Kirby the power to control enemies and use their powers as his own. Note though that when getting items, Kirby himself (hovering on the right top corner of the enemy) has to touch it as oppose to the controlled enemy. Kirby's controlled enemy can chain-jump endlessly to replace Kirby's floating ability. Ironically, while ghosts are usually portrayed as having the ability to pass through solid objects, Ghost Kirby does not have that ability; he can't even travel down ladders or pass through floors that regular Kirby can pass through. He cannot attack or possess mini-bosses or bosses without possessing a regular enemy beforehand whose attacks aren't limited to ramming. Tedhaun's minions cannot be possessed, as with Squeakers.

Kirby Super Star Ultra
Ghost Kirby isn't playable in Kirby Super Star Ultra, but he serves as the ghost for the player's previous race in Gourmet Race. (Similar to the Mario Kart series) If Kirby chooses to redo the same course that time around, a ghost is created that the player can race. As most ghosts, the Ghost Kirby travels on the same path that the player traveled in the past race. Ghost Kirby looks exactly the same as he did in Squeak Squad, except he is now always surrounded by a bright bluish-white glow. He also goes through Star Blocks without breaking them.

Trivia

 * In the Kirby: Right Back at Ya! Halloween special, Kirby puts a bedsheet over himself, resembling Ghost Kirby, then inflates and flies around, accidentally scaring Tiff.
 * When a bubble item is sent to Ghost Kirby's mouth (eg: a Star Bubble,) he will inflate and drop on the ground and remain motionless until the item is discarded; this happens with the UFO ability as well.
 * When Kirby acquires any copy ability, he does a waving-walking pose; when he does this with the Ghost ability, a blue shoe is revealed.
 * If Ghost Kirby goes underwater, he will not be a ghost anymore.
