'''Mike''' (or '''Microphone''') is one of [[Kirby]]'s [[Copy Abilities]]. It is often shown with three different hats, which only appear when the ability is activated. Otherwise, when simply moving around, Kirby periodically pulses with light if there are still charges of the ability left. Mike is the only three-use ability that has appeared in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] to date.
 +
'''Mike''' (called '''Microphone''' in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'') is a [[Copy Ability]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], debuting in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''.

==General Information==
  
  +
===''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''===
−
Kirby loves to sing, but his voice only serves to annihilate all enemies on-screen, which find the singing to be too loud and horrendous. Kirby does not seem to mind his own singing, however, as he is wearing earphones. Mike can be used three times with increasing power, unlike other [[Limited-use ability|limited-use abilities]] that can be used only once.
  
  +
Mike focuses on singing, defeating all enemies onscreen and heavily damaging [[Boss|bosses]] and [[Mid-boss|mid-bosses]]. Due to its sheer power, it can only be used three times before being expended. Mike can be obtained from [[Mr. Tick-Tock]] and [[Paint Roller]]'s microphone painting.
   
  +
====Techniques====
−
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', there is a [[Microphone (item)|Mike]] [[item]] that can be [[inhale]]d. When the mike is spat out, Kirby will screech into it, destroying all enemies on screen. The item reappeared years later in ''[[Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble]]'' and could be activated simply through touch, eliminating Kirby's need to spit it out. This was not the true Copy Ability, however, as Copy Abilities did not exist in ''Kirby's Dream Land''. It could also only be used a single time.

===''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''===
−
In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', the ability is slightly altered.  A visible sound wave is seen every time the move is used, and the area of effect grows progressively larger with each use. Only enemies caught in the sound wave will be damaged; the ability no longer damages everything on screen. However, the third use (Stand Mike or Encore) has a much wider range that surrounds Kirby. In addition, Mike can now destroy blocks.
  
  +
Mike is mostly unchanged. Mike is obtained from the [[Walky]] [[Regular enemy|enemy]].
   
  +
====Techniques====
−
In ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', the Mike item returns in the [[Kirby Fighters]] [[sub-game]]. Here, it behaves as it did in ''Kirby's Dream Land''. The Mike Copy Ability also appears in this game.

In the anime, it is perceived as the most dangerous of Kirby's abilities, as it cannot distinguish between friend or foe, often destroying everything nearby (in both of its appearances, it even wrecked most of [[Castle Dedede]]). Otherwise, the ability does not change from the games. Mike Kirby can take down several monsters at once, and perhaps almost all of eNeMeE's creations. Not even [[Tiff]] can stop him once he starts singing. It also reveals that Kirby is tone deaf and has a terrible singing voice. Mike Kirby will not stop singing until he finishes his song.

During the transformation sequence, Kirby grabs headphones and dances to music while also grabbing a microphone. Instead of just shouting down the microphone, Kirby sings. In fact, the first time it is used, Kirby sings the ending theme from the Japanese version, "[[Kihon wa Maru]]" (First you draw a circle), though he sings very badly. {{Storylink|Abusement Park}}

*Mike is the only Copy Ability that has three different icons and appearances in the same game. In ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', he uses a stand mike, while in [[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land|its remake]], he instead uses a modern cordless mike. In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|its remake]], Mike Kirby has three hats, which are (in order): a megaphone and a white baseball cap (with a red star on it in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''), earphones and an old-fashioned radio microphone (the most commonly represented Mike form) and a green (multi-colored in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'') mohawk and a stand mike.

HnK Mike

Mike Kirby in the anime

In the anime, it is perceived as the most dangerous of Kirby's abilities, as it cannot distinguish between friend or foe, often destroying everything nearby (in both of its appearances, it even wrecked most of Castle Dedede). Otherwise, the ability does not change from the games. Mike Kirby can take down several monsters at once, and perhaps almost all of eNeMeE's creations. Not even Tiff can stop him once he starts singing. It also reveals that Kirby is tone deaf and has a terrible singing voice. Mike Kirby will not stop singing until he finishes his song.

During the transformation sequence, Kirby grabs headphones and dances to music while also grabbing a microphone. Instead of just shouting down the microphone, Kirby sings. In fact, the first time it is used, Kirby sings the ending theme from the Japanese version, "Kihon wa Maru" (First you draw a circle), though he sings very badly. Abusement Park

Transformation Sequence

Appearances

In the Super Smash Bros. series

Mike appears as a collectible trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Trivia

  • Mike is the only Copy Ability that has three different icons and appearances in the same game. In Kirby's Adventure, he uses a stand mike, while in its remake, he instead uses a modern cordless mike. In Kirby Super Star and its remake, Mike Kirby has three hats, which are (in order): a white baseball cap (with a red star on it in Kirby Super Star Ultra) and megaphone, headphones and desk mike, and a multi-colored mohawk and a stand mike.
  • The white baseball cap Kirby dons while using Mike the first time in Kirby Super Star Ultra is a Hanshin Tigers cap (used from 1982 to 1999).[citation needed]
  • In the anime, this ability seems to be the few Meta Knight doesn't know about, the other being Throw. When it first appeared, he called a few other names in a rather confused manner, before settling for "Microphone Kirby." This name has been used ever since.
  • A glitch in Kirby's Adventure allows Kirby to get many more than three mikes – 255, to be exact, displayed as P5. He needs to time his third mike correctly, and it can be done while defeating Kracko or Paint Roller, or while hitting a switch.
  • Kirby's Return to Dream Land is the first game to give Mike a Copy Essence and offer it in The Arena (and The True Arena).
  • In many games, Mike is a rare opportunity to hear Kirby's voice, though this varies greatly. In Kirby Super Star and its remake, the third mike gives Kirby an unfitting, very low-pitched human voice, which was provided by Masahiro Sakurai himself. He exclaims "Chesuto!" in Sakurai's voice, an expression originating from a southern dialect of Japanese, which is associated with the exertion of swinging a sword.
  • In Kirby Super Star and its remake, the first attack uses the same sound as the one in Kirby's Adventure.
  • In both Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby: Triple Deluxe, when Kirby's third attack is charged, he emits a noise that sounds similar to his Kirby Super Star Ultra noise.
    • The other two attacks had their sounds modified. 
  • Mike is the only limited-use ability to have a Mode for the Robobot Armor in Kirby: Planet Robobot.
    • In addition, Mike's Robobot Armor Mode is not limited-use, unlike the base Mike ability.
  • Mike is the only ability whose Copy Essence can effectively be re-acquired while Kirby already has it, however, this is only when Kirby has already used it at least once. The re-acquirement recharges the number of uses left.
  • Mike is the only limited-use ability to appear in Kirby Air Ride.
  • In Kirby: Planet Robobot, repeatedly using Destructo-Amp while in the Robobot Armor will play the first ten notes of the Green Greens theme.
