Chip is an regular enemy in the Kirby series, making its debut in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. It yields no Copy Ability when inhaled.

Physical Appearance[]

Chip is a small yellow teardrop-shaped creature with a fox-like tail that is quite large in comparison to its body. Chip has no visible limbs on its body. It also is consistently seen with a happy expression and small beady, shiny eyes. Starting with Kirby: Triple Deluxe, the top of its head is more pointed instead of floppy, and is now a lighter color to the rest of its body.

Games[]

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror[]

Chip is a simplistic enemy in behavior, simply hopping about and continually chasing Kirby. Normally, Chip will hop only within a confined radius; on occasion, however, it will charge itself up and leap across a great distance.

Kirby: Squeak Squad[]

Chip behaves like it does in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror; however, they're not restricted to hopping solely in Kirby's direction. When possessed by Ghost Kirby, holding B will cause Chip to perform a high jump.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe[]

Chip has a behaviour similar to how it did in Kirby: Squeak Squad. When it falls from a height, its body appears to extend or droop, similar to a raindrop falling from the sky. Its eyes are slightly larger. It can also hop between backdrop and foreground areas.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[]

Chip behaves just like it did in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. Chip also has a larger variant that shares its behavior.

Kirby's Blowout Blast[]

Chip behaves like it does in Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Kirby: Planet Robobot. Like most enemies in the game, scaled-up versions of it appear that can be Inhaled for a Blaster Bullet.

Kirby Star Allies[]

Chip appears in Kirby Star Allies and acts the same as in previous games.

Etymology[]

Chip is possibly named after a food, due to its body resembles the shape of a chocolate chip. Its name in Japanese, チップ (Chippu), can also be translated as "tip," which may reference its pointy shape in general.
