| — Sleep's Flavour Text • Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land/Kirby and the Amazing Mirror/Kirby Squeak Squad |
Sleep is usually the most useless of all copy abilities. When Kirby eats a lethargic Noddy, he instantly falls asleep and can't do anything until he wakes up. This takes approximately 5 seconds, depending on the game. Despite appearing in Kirby Super Star, Sleep has no Helper since the player is unable to willingly drop the ability. Save for the reasoning behind it, this is the case with the other one use abilities in the game.
Sleep isn't always completely useless though. In Kirby Air Ride, the victim ailed with the ability is able to "pass" to another racer by crashing into them, leaving them with the debilitating ability instead. Also if the player obtains the Sleep Copy Scroll in Kirby Squeak Squad, Kirby will slowly regain health as he sleeps.
In most games, Sleep Kirby appears at the game over screen (sometimes without the hat). If the player chooses to continue, Sleep Kirby will be hastily chased off screen and the game continues from the beginning of the level.
Features
| Move Name | Controls | Description | Element |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doze Off | None | Kirby falls asleep for about five seconds, leaving him completely defenseless. When he wakes up this power disappears. In Squeak Squad with a Copy Scroll sleep will slowly regenerate health. In Air Ride sleep can be passed from character to character by colliding with them. | None |
In the Anime
Sleep appears in Kirby: Right Back at Ya! in episode 16, Flower Power. King Dedede tricks Kirby into Inhaling a Noddy and Kirby falls asleep. In the anime, Sleep Kirby is rather different than in games. First it doesn't give Kirby a hat, and second it was supposed to make Kirby sleep for 100 years. He would only wake up if he smelled the scent of the legendary Pukey Flower.
In Super Smash Bros.
- The Pose Kirby has while sleeping is the same one he does when using this ability.
- Jigglypuff's green costume in Brawl has Kirby's sleep hat. Jigglypuff is known for making opponents sleep in Smash Bros. and that Jigglypuff's body structure is similar to Kirby's so this makes sense.
- Sleep Kirby also appears as one of the many collectible Trophies in Brawl.
- One of Kirby's idle poses in Brawl involves him falling asleep for a brief second, then waking himself up.
