'''Ghost''' is a [[Copy Ability]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], debuting in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]''.
   
  +
==Games==
{{quote|I will possess... I will control... I'm a spooky soul... I'm not scary, though. Right?|'''Ghost's''' Flavor Text|''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]''}}
 
  +
===''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]''===
'''Ghost''' is one of [[Kirby]]'s many [[Copy ability|Copy Abilities]]. It first appeared in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'' as an unlockable unique ability and has only appeared in that game.
 
  +
Ghost focuses on possessing foes and using them to deal damage. By itself, Ghost Kirby can float around freely, as well as charge forward to destroy blocks or possess enemies. Because Ghost can possess enemies, it can solve many of the game's puzzles, albeit usually in a less efficient manner than the intended solution(s). Most of Ghost's capabilities are based only on what enemies it possesses, which cannot be taken through doors; for the various enemies that can only deal damage through contact, the only way to deal damage is for the possessed enemy to take damage itself, although this damage does not affect Ghost directly. Various enemies that grant Copy Abilities can be possessed to perform moves similar to those of their respective Copy Ability, but they are usually less effective than the Copy Ability itself; some have moves that are exclusive to them, and not present in the actual ability, though. When Ghost possesses a terrestrial enemy (one that doesn't actively fly), the player can cause the enemy to jump, even if they cannot jump normally; these possessed enemies can jump infinitely to make up for their lack of flight. However, Ghost cannot possess all enemies; Ghost cannot possess [[Gordo]], [[Shotzo]], [[Squeakers]], [[mid-boss]]es (including the [[Squeaks]]), and [[boss]]es; Ghost is also not capable of climbing down ladders or falling through platforms, meaning some locations require the player to discard the ability to advance. Ghost is an unlockable [[Copy Ability]], only obtainable after collecting all seven pieces of the [[Ghost Medal]]; because it is unlockable, it lacks an [[Ability Scroll]]. Ghost is obtained from the [[Tedhaun]] mid-boss.
==General Information==
 
Ghost can be copied from the unique [[mid-boss]], [[Tedhaun]]. Tedhauns replace one mini-boss from each level after all 7 [[Ghost Medal]] pieces have been collected. Otherwise, inhaling two [[Noddy]]s at once and letting the mix roulette stop on its own will yield Ghost. A Copy bubble of Ghost will also be inside the Secret Area once all seven pieces of the [[Secret Map]] have been collected.
 
   
  +
====Techniques====
Ghost gives Kirby the power to control enemies and use their powers as his own. Note though that when getting items, Kirby himself (hovering on the right top corner of the enemy) has to touch it as opposed to the controlled enemy. Kirby's controlled enemy can chain-jump endlessly to replace Kirby's floating ability. Ironically, while ghosts are usually portrayed as having the ability to pass through solid objects, Ghost Kirby does not have that ability; he can't even travel down ladders or pass through floors that regular Kirby can pass through, making many levels impossible to complete with this ability. He cannot attack or possess mid-bosses or [[boss]]es without possessing a regular enemy beforehand whose attacks aren't limited to ramming. Tedhaun's minions cannot be possessed, as with [[Squeakers]]. [[Gordo]]s cannot be possessed either.

{{main|Ghost (form)}}
===''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
 
  +
Ghost makes other appearances in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], albeit not as a [[Copy Ability]].
Ghost Kirby isn't playable in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', but he serves as the ghost for the player's previous race in [[Gourmet Race]] (similar to the ''Mario Kart'' series). If Kirby chooses to redo the same course that time around, a ghost is created that the player can race. As most ghosts, the Ghost Kirby travels on the same path that the player traveled in the past race. Ghost Kirby looks exactly the same as he did in ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'', except he is now always surrounded by a bright bluish-white glow. He also goes through [[Star Blocks]] without breaking them.
 
  +
===''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]''===
  +
Ghost is not a Copy Ability in these games. Ghost instead serves to represent the player's best time in a course in [[Gourmet Race]] or a [[Challenge]] Stage in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' and ''Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition'' respectively. Ghost will perform the same actions the player did, although this does not have any effects on the actual player (e.g. Ghost will perform the actions needed to destroy obstacles in the way, but this does not actually destroy the obstacles for the player; thus, when Ghost destroys obstacles in the way, but the player doesn't, Ghost appears to be passing through solid terrain). Ghost data will only be around until the player quits the stage; once the player quits the stage, the Ghost data will be gone, despite the best time still being present.
   
  +
In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''’s Gourmet Race, as well as in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]''’s Free Run mode in [[Air Ride]] and [[Top Ride]], the player's best time is instead represented by a four-pointed star.
===''[[Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition]]''===
 
  +
===''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', and ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]''===
Ghost Kirby acts just as he did in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''. If he beats Kirby to the exit door, he'll wait outside the door until Kirby himself goes through it; as soon as the hero goes through it, the ghost will disappear.
 
  +
Kirby and friends take on the appearance of a ghost whenever they are defeated in battle.
   
  +
==Flavor text==
===''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''===
 
  +
{{Flavortexts|KSqSq|I will possess... I will control... I'm a spooky soul... I'm not scary, though. Right?}}
In the [[Kirby Fighters]] [[sub-game]] and in its enhanced remake ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', knocked out [[Kirby (species)|Kirbys]] return as ghosts in multiplayer mode. The ghost Kirbys can attack players to revive themselves. The difficulty of this process progressively increases the more a specific Kirby faints.

*Applying the effects of Ghost manually to enemies normally not controllable reveals that movesets for these enemies (including mid-bosses, Gordo, Shotzo and the Squeaks) were included but went unused.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1Q0lG02N30</ref>

Possess foes to control their actions!

Ghost is a Copy Ability in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby: Squeak Squad.

Games

Kirby: Squeak Squad

Ghost focuses on possessing foes and using them to deal damage. By itself, Ghost Kirby can float around freely, as well as charge forward to destroy blocks or possess enemies. Because Ghost can possess enemies, it can solve many of the game's puzzles, albeit usually in a less efficient manner than the intended solution(s). Most of Ghost's capabilities are based only on what enemies it possesses, which cannot be taken through doors; for the various enemies that can only deal damage through contact, the only way to deal damage is for the possessed enemy to take damage itself, although this damage does not affect Ghost directly. Various enemies that grant Copy Abilities can be possessed to perform moves similar to those of their respective Copy Ability, but they are usually less effective than the Copy Ability itself; some have moves that are exclusive to them, and not present in the actual ability, though. When Ghost possesses a terrestrial enemy (one that doesn't actively fly), the player can cause the enemy to jump, even if they cannot jump normally; these possessed enemies can jump infinitely to make up for their lack of flight. However, Ghost cannot possess all enemies; Ghost cannot possess Gordo, Shotzo, Squeakers, mid-bosses (including the Squeaks), and bosses; Ghost is also not capable of climbing down ladders or falling through platforms, meaning some locations require the player to discard the ability to advance. Ghost is an unlockable Copy Ability, only obtainable after collecting all seven pieces of the Ghost Medal; because it is unlockable, it lacks an Ability Scroll. Ghost is obtained from the Tedhaun mid-boss.

Other Games

KPR Maxim Tomato Main article: Ghost (form)

Ghost makes other appearances in the Kirby series, albeit not as a Copy Ability.

Kirby Super Star Ultra and Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition

Ghost is not a Copy Ability in these games. Ghost instead serves to represent the player's best time in a course in Gourmet Race or a Challenge Stage in Kirby Super Star Ultra and Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition respectively. Ghost will perform the same actions the player did, although this does not have any effects on the actual player (e.g. Ghost will perform the actions needed to destroy obstacles in the way, but this does not actually destroy the obstacles for the player; thus, when Ghost destroys obstacles in the way, but the player doesn't, Ghost appears to be passing through solid terrain). Ghost data will only be around until the player quits the stage; once the player quits the stage, the Ghost data will be gone, despite the best time still being present.

In Kirby Super Star’s Gourmet Race, as well as in Kirby Air Ride’s Free Run mode in Air Ride and Top Ride, the player's best time is instead represented by a four-pointed star.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby Fighters Deluxe, and Kirby Fighters 2

Kirby and friends take on the appearance of a ghost whenever they are defeated in battle.

Trivia

Hearbell This section contains unused content that was cut, altered or otherwise does not appear in-game.
  • In Kirby: Squeak Squad, Ghost is one of two Copy Abilities that ignores the Spray Paint function (the other being Metal).
  • When a bubble item is sent to Ghost Kirby's mouth, he will inflate and drop on the ground and remain motionless until the item is either swallowed or discarded; this happens with the UFO ability as well.
  • When Kirby acquires any Copy Ability, he does a waving-walking pose; when he does this with the Ghost ability, a blue foot is revealed.
  • If Kirby goes underwater while he has the Ghost ability, he will appear normally and be able to swim.
  • Kirby's tongue changes from red to purple when he acquires this ability.
  • All enemies that Kirby possesses are completely immune/unaffected by lava, spikes, vents, air/water flow, and other hazards. The only thing these enemies aren't immune to is other enemy attacks and drowning if applicable.
  • Although not seen as a Copy Ability, Kirby is seen in a ghost costume in the Kirby: Right Back at Ya! episode Scare Tactics - Part II.
  • If Bio Spark performs the Air Drop attack and lands in a pit, the game camera will be set on the area Bio Spark fell, even if Kirby moves off the screen. This will require either exceptional navigation skills to get to the next door or simply exiting the level to fix this glitch.
  • The Ghost ability has made more cameo appearances in the Kirby series than it has playable appearances.
  • This is one of the few abilities to change the appearance of Kirby's hands. Others include Animal, where Kirby's hands have claws, UFO, where his hands disappear entirely, Burning, where his hands catch flame, and ESP, where his hands hold psychic energy.
  • While not appearing in Kirby Battle Royale, a ghost enemy appears in the Coin Clash Battle Mode. Players that are captured by the ghost pass it off to other players by performing a dash move, similarly to how the Ghost ability uses Tackle.
  • Applying the effects of Ghost manually to enemies normally not controllable reveals that movesets for these enemies (including mid-bosses, Gordo, Shotzo and the Squeaks) were included but went unused.[1]
