| — Spark's Flavor Text • Kirby's Return to Dream Land |
General Information
Spark is one of Kirby's Copy Abilities that allows him to surround himself in sparks of electricity, shocking any enemy that comes near.
Plasma and Spark are sometimes seen as interchangeable, as recently Spark has begun exhibiting properties previously only seen in Plasma. In the anime series, Spark Kirby uses long distance attacks like Plasma's energy blasts. In Kirby: Squeak Squad, the upgraded Spark allows Kirby to charge up and fire a long-range attack. Spark is considered to be Plasma's answer to more defensive abilities like Needle or Freeze. The two also have very similar designs, which implies a much larger connection. In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Plasma's moves from Kirby Super Star were fully integrated into Spark, effectively merging the two abilities.
In earlier appearances, this ability didn't create a field of electricity but rather shot small, exploding blasts of electricity from Kirby (or Sparky). Since Kirby's Dream Land 3, it was changed into a shocking force field, sometimes with sparks trailing across the ground.
Move Set
| Move | Controls | Description | Element | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Spark Spark Attack |
B or Y | Kirby immediately stops and projects an electric shield around him. This will block most projectiles.  |
Electricity | |
 Lightning Rod |
Tap with stylus | Kirby is struck by lightning damaging nearby enemies. | Electricity | |
Charge Power |
D-pad / shake Wiimote | Builds Kirby's charge like exactly like Plasma. Shaking the Wiimote means Kirby can move while charging, unlike previous incarnations of Plasma / Spark in Kirby: Squeak Squad or Kirby Super Star. | Electricity | |
Spark Arrow |
Short Charge Power + Button 1 | Equivalent of Plasma Arrow. Kirby fires off an electric arrow and drains all of his Charge Power. This time however, it flies until it moves off-screen. | Electricity | |
Spark Laser |
Medium Charge Power + Button 1 | Equivalent of Plasma Laser. Kirby fires off a large, powerful arrow which moves quickly and goes through enemies. The attack drains all of his Charge Power. | Electricity | |
Spark Wave |
Long Charge Power + Button 1 | Equivalent of Plasma Wave. Kirby fires his Spark Barrier and drains all of his Charge Power. Projectile is large, goes through enemies and walls, and travels fast. | Electricity | |
Spark Barrier |
(passive) Medium / Long Charge Power | Equivalent of Plasma Barrier. As long as Kirby has enough Charge Power, a shimmering electric shield surrounds him, protecting him against enemies and projectiles by dealing damage to them. It is even more powerful than Plasma's version, as this time he is completely invulnerable to enemies, even if he runs into them quickly. It does not protect against certain hazards, such as spikes and falling rocks. Damage weakens the shield, and it disappears if Kirby uses any of his attacks. Maximum charge gives Kirby a shield as large as his basic Spark Attack, which makes offensive use easier since he can now effectively move around with the same effect. | Electricity | |
Thunderbolt |
↑ + Button 1 | Projects a vertical thunderbolt upwards from Kirby's hat. Works like Lightning Rod. | Electricity | |
Lightning Strike |
(midair) ↓ + Button 1 | Projects a vertical thunderbolt downwards. | Electricity |
Animal Friend
| Move | Controls | Description | Element |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rick | B | Rick fires an electricity whip from his mouth, in a way similar to Beam. | Electricity |
| Coo | B | Coo and his partner shoot a lightning bolt at the ground. Coo will lose altitude while using this move. In the sequel Coo will not fall. | Electricity |
| Kine | B | Kine sticks a light bulb out from his mouth and is free to move about as normal, although he cannot turn. This power will light up dark areas, and when B is released create an explosive projectile. In the sequel it will not launch off, but after a while, will explode in Kines mouth. | Electricity |
| Nago | B | Nago rubs his partner, building up a static charge, they can then move around freely and sparks will shoot out and damage enemies. | Electricity |
| Chuchu | B | Chuchu aims with her arm and launches an electric blast. When charged, the blast will bounce off slopes. This attack is similar to Laser. | Electricity |
| Pitch | B | Pitch becomes an RC toy that his partner steers. He will damage anything he touches while in vehicle mode. His partner is left exposed while using this ability. | Electricity |
Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
Spark as it appears in Kirby: Right Back At Ya!
In the anime, Kirby has green skin. The crown is changed slightly to just a round blue orb in a simple circlet. It also becomes more of a long-distance defense move like Plasma, with Kirby launching orbs of crackling energy and shooting electric beams at his foes. He also retains the ability to sprout electricity from his body exactly like in the games. In the transformation sequence, the orb slams onto Kirby's forehead. The top of his head catches on blue fire. The blue fire disappears as soon as the blue sparks appear and Kirby turns green. Spark is one of two abilities in the anime to successfully defeat the target threat every time Kirby uses it (the other being Crash).
