General Information

Trivia

 * 'ESP' stands for 'extrasensory perception'.
 * The ESP ability appears to be a reference to Ness, a character from both the EarthBound and Super Smash Bros. series. The ability references Ness' psychic powers, particularly Psychic Bubble referencing PK Flash, while the ability hat itself is the same as Ness' hat, albeit with the colors swapped.
 * This is one of two abilities that reference EarthBound; the other is the Yo-yo ability from Kirby Super Star (and its remake).
 * ESP is one of only a few regular Copy Abilities whose English name differs from its Japanese name. The reason it was changed was likely because the term "Esper" is associated with the Super Nintendo RPG Final Fantasy VI, while the ability cap is instead a reference to the Mother series.
 * This discrepancy could also be due to the way Japan pronounces the term "ESP," saying it as one word as opposed to the way the United States pronounces it as an acronym.
 * This is the only Copy Ability being introduced in Kirby: Planet Robobot to have a Mode for the Robobot Armor.
