Doctor focuses on using medical tools to attack, with its most basic weapon being bouncing pills. He can also attack using chemicals, medicine, bandages, and a clipboard. Its most unique attack, Science Lab, allows it to create various chemicals to damage enemies, although they are also useful for puzzles due to the elements made available. Doctor is also the base for the Doctor Healmore role in Team Kirby Clash. Doctor is obtained from the Chemitoryenemy.

Science Lab
↓ + hold B extra long, and then release
Kirby gathers lab tools and creates a one of four possible compounds: one that unleashes a pillar of fire, one that freezes the air above, one that sends out six sparks of electricity, and one that can be drank to heal Kirby. What Kirby gets from the Science Lab is random, but they are color coded with their effects: red is fire, blue is ice, yellow is Flash Spark, and green is Remedy; Remedy can only be made if Kirby is not at full health. If the player releases B before Kirby is finished creating the compound, a small explosion occurs, which does damage and briefly stuns Kirby. Kirby is invincible when prepping and using the compound, but he is vulnerable when holding it.
Kirby holds onto the compound for later use. It also causes Kirby to glow the same color as the element that he is holding. If Kirby takes damage before using the compound, Kirby will lose it.
Doctor serves as the base for the Doctor Healmore role. Its charge attack now has the ability to produce a puddle of healing liquid. Its pills are replaced with functionally identical jewels, and its clipboard with a book.

Prior to the release of Kirby: Planet Robobot, a fan-created "Dr. Kirby" with a similar appearance was featured in the gallery of a 2011 contest that resulted from a partnership between Nintendo and the Starlight Children's Foundation, where entrants could draw on a coloring page and create an original Super Ability. It is unknown if this design inspired the creation of Doctor. [2]
