The special Kabuki ability is one of Kirby's Copy abilities that is first appeared in the anime.

This ability only seen within the anime in Kirby 3D.

Kabuki makes a surprise appearance as one of Kirby's attacks in Kirby Quest, a sub-game in Kirby Mass Attack. This makes it the first anime-exclusive ability to cross over into the game series, debuting before Water Kirby. There is a difference between the two versions; Kirby fires the red lightning beam from his forehead in the anime while in the game, it is emitted from his scepter / rod.
