This article is about the Copy Ability. For the Top Ride course in Kirby Air Ride, see Fire (Top Ride course). |

Fire is one of Kirby's basic Copy Abilities. Debuting in Kirby's Adventure, it lets Kirby exhale a stream of fire from his mouth to damage enemies.
General Information
Fire's primary attack is spewing flames, setting any nearby enemy ablaze. In more current games, Kirby has also mastered other techniques, such as covering himself in fire as a means to severely damage enemies.
The ability is most often confused with Burning. Not only do they revolve around the same element, but Burning's main function, a charge forward whilst covered in flames, is often an attack used by the Fire ability itself.
Adding to the confusion is the fact that when Rick acquired the Burning ability in Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Kirby's Dream Land 3, he would blow out fire just like the Fire ability. The attacks obtained when mixing abilities with Burning in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards were based more on Fire as well.
Fire also appears as a Mode for Robobot Armor in Kirby: Planet Robobot.
In Kirby Star Allies, it is possible to use fire to apply Sizzle as an element to other weapons.
Moveset
| Move | Controls | Description | Element | Damage |
Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fire Breath | B/Y/1 | Kirby blows a stream of fire out of his mouth to burn his enemies to a crisp. It can be aimed in some games and on rare occasions can go through walls. | Sizzle | 8 (1st hit), 7 (repeat hits) | 8 (all hits) |
| Spinning Fire Breath |
Button 1 in midair | Kirby spins in the air blowing out a stream of fire. This is similar to Ice's Ice Sprinkle. | Sizzle | 12 (1st hit), 10 (2nd & 3rd hits) | N/A |
| Fireball/Fireball Inferno | Backwards + B/Y/1 | Kirby self-combusts into a large flaming ball, damaging surrounding enemies. It almost has the same properties as Freeze, except it requires more start-up time, does twice as much damage per hit, and requires slightly more time to cancel it. | Sizzle | 40 per hit | 48 per hit |
| Burn | Dash + B/Y/1 | Also known as "Burning Attack". Kirby cloaks himself in flames and dashes forward with great force. This move comes from Burning. This attack can be used in the air, and bounces off of walls on contact. | Sizzle | 20 (ground), 22 (aerial) | 20 (ground), 22 (aerial) |
| Burning Flame |
Button 1 during Burn | Kirby drops 2-3 fireballs that fall to the ground as he dashes, leaving a lingering flame that can burn away at foes. | Sizzle | 6 (1st hit), 5 (2nd hit) | N/A |
Searing Burn   |
Burn + A | Kirby stops Burn and makes an explosion. | Sizzle | N/A | 20 |
| Fireball Spin | B/Y (midair)   Down + 1/B (midair) |
Kirby spins like a wheel in midair while self-combusting. When near the ground while doing this attack Kirby rolls along the ground. If he reaches a wall he will climb up that wall (in Kirby's Return to Dream Land). | Sizzle | 24 | 24 |
Blazing Flare  |
A | Kirby spits out a small flame which acts as a temporary roadblock. By holding down A, the flame gets bigger and bigger, thus making it harder for other racers to avoid once it's expelled. | Sizzle | N/A | N/A |
Robobot Armor Mode
| Move | Controls | Description | Element |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crimson Tail | B | The Robobot Armor releases a long-ranged stream of fire. | Sizzle |
| Change Angle | Crimson Tail + ↑/↓ | Changes the direction of the Crimson Tail attack. | Sizzle |
| Hot Drop | Dash | The Robobot Armor leaves a trail of fire as it dashes that lasts for about two seconds. | Sizzle |
| Red Carpet | ↓ + B | The Robobot Armor releases jets of fire on either side. | Sizzle |
In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
Fire Kirby in the anime
Kirby has obtained Fire in many episodes of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. It is the most common ability used in the anime, with nine appearances in total. The attack that Kirby uses depends on what he swallowed to get the ability. For example, torches give him his standard Fire breathing attack, while inhaling fireworks allows him to spit fireworks back, like the Fireworks Combo Ability from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Fire Kirby also makes an appearance in the 3-D short, Kirby 3D. It is also notable for being the first seen Copy Ability in the anime as well.
Transformation Sequence
In the transformation sequence, the green gem forms around Kirby's forehead and a yellow headband snaps into it and around Kirby. Shortly after, flames begin to engulf the area around Kirby, but they eventually subside.
In the Super Smash Bros. series
Fire Kirby appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U as one of the collectible trophies. In Super Smash bros. for Wii U, Fire Kirby's trophy can be unlocked by clearing the “Kirby's Crazy Appetite” event on Hard difficulty.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Kirby's dash attack is the Burning Attack, only it cannot rush through the air if used over an edge (thus is affected by gravity) and Kirby will still fall downwards during the attack if so.

Related Quotes
| “ | When Kirby swallows a fire-wielding enemy, he transforms into Fire Kirby. Not only does he breathe fire in this form, but he can also sprout flames on his entire body and damage enemies by crashing into them. Fire Kirby wears the bright red headdress of his enemy Burning Leo. The hat turns into a helpful weapon when thrown.” |
| — Trophy description • Super Smash Bros. Melee |
| “ | Kirby when he inhales an enemy who uses fire. Shooting fire from his mouth, Fire Kirby can cook enemies from afar. This ability also allows Kirby to light explosive blocks, fuses, and so on. In Kirby Super Star and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Fire Kirby can roll his burning body into enemies as an attack move.” |
| — Trophy description • Super Smash Bros. Brawl |
| “ | Like the tail of a red dragon in burning flame! Burn 'em down with Crimson Tail!” |
| — In-game description for the Fire Mode of Robobot Armor • Kirby: Planet Robobot |
| “ | When Kirby first copied the Fire ability, he was only able to breath fire. Nowadays, he can do all sorts of neat things! For example, he can engulf himself in flames and roll forward, burning grass, lighting fuses, melting ice, and so on. What we'd really like him to do, though, is help us make the perfect s'more. Mmmmm.” |

In Other Languages
The meaning of the Fire ability's name remains constant throughout other languages, meaning fire. In Japanese, the name is ファイア (Faia); in German, Feuer; in Spanish, Fuego; in French, Feu; in Italian, Fuoco; in Russian, Огонь (Ogon); and in Chinese, 烈火 (Lièhuǒ, literally "raging fire").
Trivia
Volume #17 cover of the manga.
- In Kirby Super Star, the ability cap's design was shared with Ice and Plasma, so the flames at the top were a solid decoration. This gives it the appearance of Burning Leo or, to a lesser extent, Hot Head's original design.
- While the GBA remake of Kirby's Adventure was the first appearance of the new design, Kirby Air Ride reused the original design from Kirby Super Star.
- Fire appears in the cover of the 17th volume of Kirby of the Stars: The Story of Dedede Who Lives in Pupupu, although the hat looks different from the games.
- The canceled Kirby GCN also would have given subtle changes to the newer design, similar to Kirby's Return to Dream Land except the gem would have been cut as a hexagon. Incidentally, the unused Kirby GCN version of this design is seen as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
- In Kirby: Squeak Squad, Fire could be used to burn away foliage, clouds, or ice cubes, thus altering the landscape around Kirby, and sometimes revealing hidden items or pathways.
- This is one of the only four abilities in Kirby: Triple Deluxe that can break ice blocks, the others are Hammer, Fighter, and Circus.
- In the Super Smash Bros. games, inhaling Bowser allows Kirby to blow fire, and his Bowser hat is reminiscent of the Fire ability hat's posture when breathing fire is the same. Another similar move to the Fire ability is obtained when he inhales Charizard. Also when Kirby blows fire, he appears in the same pose as he does when he breathes fire as Fire Kirby.
- Spinning Fire Breath still exists in the code of Kirby: Planet Robobot. However, the move cannot be performed through means other than hacking. This is also true of Revolution Beam and Triple Hammer.
- Fire Kirby's trophy description in Super Smash Bros. Brawl mistakenly lists his first appearance as Kirby Super Star, when it was actually Kirby's Adventure.
