One of Kirby's Copy abilities. Kirby gains the ability to throw curved, bladed boomerang-like objects that will go a short distance in front of him before coming back. If Kirby jumps, the blades will hit foes behind him.
The Cutter hat somewhat resembles a duck- it's a yellow hat with a bill that's either yellow or white, and two black eyes that look like Kirby's own. Two tiny white wings are on the side, and Kirby keeps the cutter blade attached to the top of the hat when not in use.

Games
Kirby's Adventure
Kirby turns an yellow-orange color as with most of his other abilities. In this version, Kirby cannot control the direction of the blades as in later games, but he can throw them at a much faster rate.
Kirby's Dream Land 2
Same as in KA, only now Kirby can combine the ability with one of three Animal Friends
Rick throws Kirby across the screen like a boomerang. It has good distance, but it's slow and can leave Rick open to attack.
Coo throws out a trio of spinning, bladed feathers: one forward, one angled up, and one angled down. This ability has great range and coverage.
Kine shoots out a sonar-like wave from his mouth which goes a long distance. Useful underwater!
Kirby Super Star
The first appearance of the Cutter hat, and the addition of many new attacks. Cutter is also useful for cutting through ropes to access hidden areas and items.
- Cutter Boomerang - Kirby throws a series of cutter blades that will return to him. If he jumps, they'll hit anything behind him.
- Cutter Dash Attack - Kirby will hold his cutter like a sword to quickly slash enemies.
- Cutter Drop Attack - Kirby will hold out his cutter as he falls to the ground to take out any enemies in his path.
- High Speed Cutter Drop - Similar to the Cutter Drop Attack, Kirby will hold out his cutter as he quickly dashes towards the ground, making it slightly more powerful.
- Non-Stop Cutter Attack - Slashing near an enemy causes Kirby to perform a series of rapid slashes, leap into the air, and finish them with a bigger slice.
Kirby's Dream Land 3
Kirby and Gooey toss out a spinning blade that returns to them, just like before.
Rick slings his partner from his back at a giant boomerang. While he can only do this once at a time, the hamster is no longer completely helpless as he can simply stomp on most enemies.
Coo has his power downgraded from three Cutters to just one; however, he can aim this single blade upward or downward to hit where he wants.
Kine launches out a swift, sonic blade that travels a good distance and slices through foes.
Nago swings his partner upward, firing a wave of purple energy towards the sky. It is great for picking out aerial attackers but suffers when it comes to hitting those right in front of you.
Chuchu is transformed into a razor sharp blade and is spun around by her partner, creating a hazard zone around the two for as long as the power is continued.
Pitch becomes a fast and far flying boomerang that slices both forward and back. While he's gone, his partner will have no means of defending himself.
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
Again, no hat, and in this game Kirby can combine Cutter with a variety of other abilities. See Combo Abilities for more info.
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
In the remake of Kirby's Adventure, Cutter again dons the yellow hat. The mechanics of the ability are changed somewhat as well, specifically in that the blades thrown are larger and quite a bit slower.
Kirby & the Amazing Mirror
The ability isn't changed much from NiDL- it's still greatly downgraded from the KSS version.
Kirby Squeak Squad
Cutter still isn't changed much except the bill of the hat is white. It's useful for slicing through plants, ropes and the like to find treasures. Once its Copy Scroll is acquired, the blades Kirby throws become much bigger and more powerful.
Anime
Cutter Kirby uses the same duck hat as the later games, and appears whenever Kirby manages to inhale things like blades and saws (anything that's sharp except for an actual sword, it seems.)
This version of Cutter is based on the KSS version, but with new attacks. Cutter Boomerang is the primary attack, but Kirby often uses Cutter Finish or Final Cutter to finish off enemies.
It also gains a new ability- Cutter Beam, where Kirby spins rapidly and fires a thin beam of energy to slice long distances away.
