Kirby Super Star is definitly my favorite of the Kirby Series. Although
the game was only released in Japan it is still very enjoyable.
Released in 1996 the game never made it's way to the US but can still
be played via emulation . The game includes nine different games in one
pack, creating a megapack of fun and entertainment. The game features
20 "powers" that Kirby can gain from his enemies, this is a guide
presented to cover those powers in-depth with descriptions and where
they can be found.
CORRECTION: It seems that 'Kirby Super Star' *was* indeed released in
the United States shortly after the Japanese release, but it was on a
small scale. The game is apparently a rare find and worth a pretty
penny if you do find it.
NOTE: I will *not* send anybody any ROMs! Please stop asking!

Use the beam attack against enemies! Fire the beam by pressing Y. This
is a very handy and useful ability.

*: Bomb angle depends on how long you press Y.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cook:
This is one of the few abilities that you can only use once, then it
disappears. You get it by defeating and swallowing the Chef Kawasaki
mini-boss. When it's used Kirby bangs on a metal pot and a giant pot
falls to the ground. Then, all the enemies on the screen go into the
pot and Kirby jumps up onto the pot and stirs its contents. Finally,
the enemies that were in the pot pop out, but as power-ups to recover
your health!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Copy:
Copy enemies' abilities without fighting! The helper will also be able
to copy abilities!
Y: analyze beam (Kirby); sneaky hand (Helper)
*: Can copy an enemy's ability.
*: The helper can dump a copy ability by pressing A.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Crash:
This is another one-use ability obtained by either swallowing the
walking bomb enemy with a skull picture on it or using the Copy ability
on the floating orange heads. When used, Kirby explodes and all of the
regular enemies onscreen will be defeated. When used against a boss,
it'll give the boss a good amount of damage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The cutter can cut anything in its path. Use it to cut down enemies, as
well as ropes that get in your way.

Y repeatedly: cutter drop attack (in air)
Down + Y: high-speed cutter drop (in air)
Y repeatedly: nonstop cutter attack (near enemy)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

expert. Increase your power with practice!

Double kick (strong)

Dash + Y or Y repeatedly: freezer blizzard
Freezer suction + Y: freezer ejection
Y: freezer sprinkle (in air)
Touching ice: ice kick
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jet:
Turn Kirby into a dangerous jet. Store jet power by holding Y. The more
power you store the more powerful the attack.

Power stored + B: save stored power
B: hover (in air)
Max power + B: Ultra-jet jump (in air)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike:
This is another ability that can be used and disappears, but it can be
used three times! Get it by swallowing a walking microphone enemy. It
destroys all regular enemies. It won't instantly destroy a boss enemy
but it will take off about 30% percent each time, so by the time you
use all three attacks you have most of the Boss's energy drained.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Y: mirror cut
Hold Y: reflect force
Dash + Y: mirror body

This is a hidden ability and you can obtain it by swallowing the multi-
colored balls the Chameleon enemy shoots at you. You can also swallow
the blobs that Heavy Lobster spits out to get this ability. You can
only use this move once, though. You can blind Heavy Lobster and change
the Chameleon's colors with it! (You can't get this ability in the
Milky Way Wishes.)

High power: plasma laser
Full power: plasma wave cannon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
