The Copy Palette in Kirby: Squeak Squad
The copy palette only appears in Kirby: Squeak Squad. The copy palette itself appears on the bottom screen of the DS, where the player can store up to 5 swallowed Bubbles or Treasure chests. By tapping an object within the Palette with the stylus, Kirby will use its power. Dragging it to the top of the bottom screen will instead have Kirby hold it in his mouth, and works like as if it was just inhaled.
Combining food items with each other yield food types which replenish more health. Combining 3 Kirby Bubbles yield a 1up, which is immediately used. Combining two and three star bubbles will yield a medium and large star respectively, with the large one taking up almost a fourth of the screen when exhaled. Mixing ability bubbles results in a random new ability and is useful for freeing up space. The only exception to this is if the player has the Copy Scroll for either Sword or Bomb.
The player can get new backgrounds for the copy palette from treasure chests. There are six in all, counting the one that the player starts with. There are also two unused ones in the game that feature Meta Knight and the Squeak Squad.
When the player mixes two bubbles and drags it across the screen, mini bubbles appear. These can alter the ability that is obtained. This is a list of the following combinations:
red background bubbles = fire or bomb or sleep
green background bubbles= beam or spark or sleep
blue background bubbles =ice or sleep
yellow background bubbles = metal or animal or ninja or bubble or sleep
white background bubbles= sword or cutter or sleep
rainbow background bubbles= rare ability: hammer, magic, etc
