After that, Kirby is able to kick the frozen enemy forward into other enemies or obstacles. If the icy block isn't kicked shortly after it materializes, it automatically explodes. Rather than running, Kirby calmly ice-skates through the level, making it easier for him to kick his frostbitten foes along. |
The Ice ability has two extensions, both of which are derived from properties of said ability. These are the [[Freeze]] and the [[Ice Skating]] abilities. |

Revision as of 23:10, 28 December 2019
“ | A great way to cool down hot-headed enemies and then send them flying as a block of ice with a kick! You can also turn on a dime with skate dash or freeze your friends' weapons! You can even give a stone a slippery path for a bit of curling!” |
— Flavor Text • Kirby Star Allies |
Ice is one of Kirby's Copy Abilities. It is a very basic ability that displays freezing properties and parallels the Fire ability in moves. It debuted in Kirby's Adventure.
General Information
Ice's main function is to unleash a wintery breath of ice, turning any enemy it touches into an ice cube. After that, Kirby is able to kick the frozen enemy forward into other enemies or obstacles. If the icy block isn't kicked shortly after it materializes, it automatically explodes. Rather than running, Kirby calmly ice-skates through the level, making it easier for him to kick his frostbitten foes along.
The Ice ability has two extensions, both of which are derived from properties of said ability. These are the Freeze and the Ice Skating abilities.
Ice appears as a Mode for Robobot Armor in Kirby: Planet Robobot.
Moveset
Move | Controls | Description | Notes | Element |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ice Breath | B/Y | Kirby fires an icy blast from his mouth. The blast freezes enemies and mid-bosses (when defeated) on contact, encasing them in an ice cube that can be kicked around. | This attack was previously known as Freezer breath. Kirby breathes the ice in a circle around him. Similar to Freeze, but does not cover areas above or below him. The blast can be angled once the Ability Scroll is found. It can also be used to freeze water or momentarily harden hot lava. |
Blizzard |
Ice Storm | Dash + B/Y/1 or B/Y/1 repeatedly | Kirby huddles down and encases himself in a freezing aura. | This has the same properties as Freeze. This attack was previously known as Freezer blizzard. | Blizzard |
Ice Sprinkle | B/Y/1 (Midair) | Kirby spins in midair and simultaneously breathes ice in the air, freezing airborne enemies & defeated mid-bosses. | This attack was previously known as Freezer sprinkle. | Blizzard |
Super Ice Sprinkle | Dash + B/Y/1 (Midair) | Kirby spins many times in midair while breathing ice. | This attack hits 4 times. This attack hits 2 times. The attack's animation has changed from a crystalline snowstorm to a swirling ice cloud. |
Blizzard |
Ice Suction / Ice Ejection | ↑/forward + B/Y/1 (Near Enemy) | Kirby sucks up a nearby enemy, and then, by pressing either B or Y or 1, Kirby will spit the enemy back out, frozen solid. | This attack was previously known as Freezer suction/Freezer ejection. | Blizzard |
Ice Kick | Run into Block | Kirby kicks a frozen enemy in a forward direction. | N/A | None |
Ice Ball | Dash + ↓ + 1/B | Kirby turns into a ball which rolls forward and explodes after a while. | This attack debuted in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. | Blizzard |
Ice Block | R / A | Kirby hides in an ice cube. | This guard now blocks chip damage from bosses. | Blizzard |
Ice Scatter | Release A | The ice cube that Kirby is hiding in explodes, dealing splash damage to nearby enemies. | This property of Ice's guard debuted in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. | Blizzard |
Damage Values

Animal Friends
Character | Controls | Description | Element | Images | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rick | B | Kirby and Rick become a large two part snowman and create a blizzard that acts exactly like the Freeze ability. In Kirby's Dream Land 3, it works similarly to when it appeared in Kirby's Dream Land 2, but it instead snows down snow from the top of the snowman. | Blizzard | ||
Coo | B | Kirby breathes ice like normal but he can aim it in any direction. The duo lose altitude when the move is used. In the sequel, Coo just launches three angled icicles. | Blizzard | ||
Kine | B | Kine surrounds himself in a blizzard like the ability Freeze, but he keeps moving. If the button is held down too long Kine freezes himself and can easily be attacked. In the sequel Kine freezes himself right away and acts like stone, dropping fast and becoming invincible. | Blizzard ; None | ||
Nago | B | Nago aims Kirby downward as they jet out a burst of cold breath and launch through the air. | Blizzard | ||
ChuChu | B | ChuChu lobs multiple snowballs at different angles. | Blizzard | ||
Pitch | B | Pitch is cranked up and releases an icy blast of breath that can be aimed. | Blizzard |
Kirby Battle Royale Moveset
Every player has an invisible freeze gauge when Ice is being used. When this gauge fills, the player will be frozen in a block of ice.
Move | Controls | Description | Damage (Robo Bonkers) |
---|---|---|---|
Ice Breath | B | Kirby exhales frigid air. Landing this attack fills the freeze gauge by 1/2. | 100 |
Ice Sprinkle | B during jump | Kirby spins while exhaling icy breath. Landing this attack fills the freeze gauge by 1/3. | 70 |
Ice Wall | Hold/release B | Kirby creates a wall of three (one in 2D Battle Modes) ice stalagmites. Freezes opponents inside of the stalagmites when performing the move, but simply act as a wall afterward, which can be attacked in order to destroy. | 450 |
Ice Ball | Y | Kirby surrounds himself in a ball of ice and quickly rolls forward. Landing this attack fills the freeze gauge by 1/5, regardless of how many hits connect with the opponent. | 45x4 |
Video
Robobot Armor Mode
Move | Controls | Description | Element |
---|---|---|---|
Snowstorm | B | The Robobot Armor releases an icy blast from one of its arm fans. | Blizzard |
Change Angle | Snowstorm + D-Pad | The Snowstorm move may be aimed either upwards or downwards. | Blizzard |
Speedskater | Dash + B | The Robobot Armor moves forward smoothly forward on the ground while spinning and blowing cold air. | Blizzard |
Blizzard Lance | B repeatedly | The Robobot Armor charges an attack that releases three ice shards which stick to surfaces for a few seconds before disappearing. | None |
In the Super Smash Bros. series
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Ice Kirby appears as a trophy. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, Kirby uses Ice Breath as his second Standard Special Custom Move. Kirby stands in place and exhales ice from his mouth. Opponents who touch it will be frozen.
In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
Ice Kirby appears in the anime. In Kirby Right Back at Ya!, he uses a slightly different hat design from the games with a six-pointed blue gem and small visor at the front. His skin turns blue, as it does in Kirby Super Star. He can breathe icy wind at his enemy to freeze him or her, and naturally it's not very useful against an ice-based foe, like Ice Dragon, unless it's an "inside" job, but can use the Freezer Suction/Ejection and Ice Kick on non-ice foes.
Transformation Sequence
In the transformation sequence, a chill wind makes Kirby shiver and turn blue before his crown of ice crystals appears and Kirby wears a visor crown.

In Other Languages
The meaning of the Ice ability is mostly constant throughout other languages. Its Japanese name is アイス (Aisu), meaning Ice. Similarly, its German name, Eis, means Ice, along with its Spanish name, Hielo, its French name, Glace, and its Italian name, Ghiaccio. Its Chinese name, however, is slightly different; it is 冰冻 (Bīngdòng), meaning Freeze. This Chinese word can mean Freeze, but Chinese also has its own, distinct name for the Freeze ability. Finally, its Russian name, Лёд (Lod), also means Ice.
