Simirror is an enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby Super Star. It gives Kirby the Mirror ability when inhaled.
Physical Appearance[]
Simirror is garbed in a flowing robe and wears a wizard hat with a star on it. It wields a powerful wand that can be used to attack with reflective magic.
Games[]
Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra[]
Simirror serves as both an enemy and a helper in these games. It wanders around waiting for Kirby to approach, and then unleashes a barrage of glassy magic at him when he steps into its range. If the player fires a projectile at this shield-like mirror (such as Cutter Kirby's boomerang), it will be reflected off and inflict damage. Also, Simirror will occasionally clone itself and warp around the stage using its magic. If it is not defeated after the first hit from Kirby, its body flickers away before quickly reappearing behind the pink puff. If the enemy reappears inside a wall, it is defeated.
Simirror serves as the helper for the Mirror ability, performing all the moves Mirror Kirby can including reflecting projectiles with the addition of being able to use Mirror Cut underwater. In Helper to Hero, Simirror is playable. This version of Simirror features a green robe, much like the enemy version, but has the same brown hat that the helper version wears. They can shield themselves in a rainbow-colored bubble to protect themselves, much like Mirror Kirby can. Mirror Kirby's Mirror Body lasts slightly longer than Simirror's does.
Kirby: Planet Robobot[]
Simirror appears in this game, where it again provides the Mirror abillity when inhaled and swallowed.
Etymology[]
Simirror's name is a portmanteau of similar and mirror. Its name may also relate to symmetry.

Trivia[]
- The shadowy faces, hats, staves, and robes of Simirrors, as well as their status as wizards, are reminiscent of the Black Mages of Final Fantasy fame, as well as the Wizzrobes of Zelda fame. In addition, their design may have been the basis for Wiz, a large, seemingly faceless magician clad in red that serves as a boss in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, and Drawcia, the main antagonist of Kirby: Canvas Curse. They all share various design elements such as bright yellowish eyes and wizardly clothing.
- In Kirby Super Star and its remake, enemy Simirrors only show their eyes when attacking, while Helper Simirrors always show their eyes.
