Review: Mirror

Ability : Mirror

Title : Kirby Super Star, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby: Planet Robobot

Reviewer : KirbyFan27


Mirror Kirby is a great, powerful ability. It has many potent attacks. Well, back to reality and away from the mirrors for me, as it only has 4 attacks in the two Kirby Super Star games it appears in and at least 6 in Planet Robobot. I'm counting the guard...

Kirby is, however, almost invincible when guarding with this ability. Why else would I say the guard is an attack? He can reflect any projectile, bounce enemies back and… still get hit by grabs. Oh, well.

Nevertheless, Mirror Kirby is both powerful and cute. Reflect Force and the Guard reflect projectiles, Mirror Body deals a total of 38 damage, and Mirror Cut deals 22 damage.

On to appearance, he turns a snowy color and gains an appearance very similar to Beam, but the hat is red and cyan, instead of red and orange, and the wand is a different color. That's in Super Star Ultra. In normal Kirby Super Star, he is the same, just pale skin color. In Planet Robobot, it is, as the wiki says, "A violet and sky blue two-pointed hat, with a reflective front rim with blue edges and a gold and silver hexagonal gem at the crest, wields a blue wand with a triangular prism shaped crystal." It's glorious!

Reflect guard and reflect force can reflect mostly anything, such as bombs, cutters, beams, ice blocks, Bugzzy's bugs, Jukid's energy blasts, and some of Meta Knight's attacks. What isn't reflected either goes on harmlessly, or gets destroyed. Some lasers, however, still hurt you.

To get towards being good with Mirror, you need to use each move correctly. Mirror Cut is good for some short-range power, and leads straight to Reflect Force, which is rapid-hitting and works pretty well. I personally love Mirror Body, though, as it is all-out cute and deals lots of damage (I already said 38). There are new moves in Planet Robobot, such as generating copies of himself in a straight line above him, or making copies all around him.

So in conclusion, Mirror Kirby is a great ability with an average learning curve and IT... HAS... THE POWER! To be cute!
