==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 sometimes calmly ice-skates through the level, making it easier for him to kick his frostbitten foes along.

{{Nomenclature
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''.

Revision as of 17:28, 2 July 2020

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 (the ability it is often confused with) and the Ice Skating abilities.

Ice appears as a Mode for Robobot Armor in Kirby: Planet Robobot.

Rick B Kirby and Rick become a large two part snowman and create a blizzard that acts exactly like the Freeze ability.

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; the original attack in Kirby's Dream Land 2 possibly evolved into Nago and Pitch's attacks for the Ice ability.

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

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!

HnK Ice 2

Ice Kirby in the anime

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.
