“	Almighty Sword! It can be used on all puzzles!”
	— Master's Flavor Text • Kirby & the Amazing Mirror

Master is one of Kirby's special Copy abilities. It is the final weapon of Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, yet can be used outside of the final battle after beating the last boss, which makes it one of the only final abilities that can do this, the other being Triple Star.

Kirby wields Meta Knight's legendary blade, and with it gains a plethora of new abilities, each of which is useful for obtaining every treasure in the game, except for those that require the Mini or Wheel ability. While it appears very similar to Sword, Master is stronger than the Sword ability and has more useful properties, more attacks, and manoeuvers. So far, it has only appeared in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, where it could be obtained during the showdown with Dark Mind and in a pedestal in Central Circle after beating the game.

Before Galaxia was named, players refer to the sword as the "Master" Sword, specifically in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, because Galaxia gives the Master ability to Kirby.

The ability's name likely comes from the fact that it is the game's ultimate ability and can be used to get almost every treasure.

Master, unlike other abilities, will stay on screen forever, even when another ability is taken. It also won't disappear if it touches spikes, but it still floats up to the top if in water. The same happens with Triple Star.

Trivia

• Despite the artwork depicting the gem in the handle as bluish, the gem in-game is red.
• This is only one of two sword-based final weapons. The other is the Rainbow Sword. Also, both final weapons have no shooting abilities. However, the Rainbow Sword can reflect the orbs generated by Dark Matter, whereas the Master Sword is just a shiny blade.
