General Information
Paint is one of Kirby's copy abilities, first seen in Kirby Super Star. It is a rare, one-use ability that lets Kirby spray blobs of paint all over, causing damage to any foe on screen. As a side effect, the behavior of two certain bosses will be changed when this power is used against them.
Move Set
| Move | Controls | Description | Element | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paint Out | B | Inhaling a paint ball from Marx Soul, Chameleo Arm, or Heavy Lobster gives this one-time ability. Performing the attack will destroy all regular enemies on-screen, re-color Chameleo Arm, re-color Heavy Lobster, and damage Heavy Lobster's eye, causing erratic movement. Chameleo Arm can still change color afterwards, however. The attack deals very little damage to Marx Soul. | None/Paint | 70 |
In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
Kirby has obtained Paint in just one episode of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, after inhaling one of Paint Roller's paint brushes. Along with the ability's standard hat, it also came with a pair of roller skates, which could be a reference to Paint Roller himself. Like Cook before it, it became a normal ability rather than a one-use ability, and allowed him to paint things that became real. This is similar to the characters Ado and Adeleine.

In the transformation sequence, Kirby dons the skates of Paint Roller. Next, a similar blue hat falls on Kirby's head. After, he takes out the paintbrush and skates across the screen and paints the screen in multiple colors.

Trivia
- Paint Kirby's hat is the same as those of Yo-yo and Wheel Kirby's hats, but in a different color (Yo-yo's is purple, Wheel's is red).
- In Kirby Super Star and its remake, Paint, along with the other limited-use abilities, Sleep, Crash, Cook, and Mike, are the only copy abilities that can be obtained via inhaling whilst playing the Milky Way Wishes sub-game (Sleep is the only one to have a Copy Essences Deluxe).
- Like the other limited-use abilities, there is no Helper available for Paint.
- Paint is the only copy ability that is obtained only by projectiles from bosses.
- Paint can blind Heavy Lobster and paint him red. Paint can also make Chameleo Arm change color and reappear if invisible.
