A regular enemy and sometimes ally in the Kirby games.

Games

Kirby Super Star

Plasma Wisp floats about in the air in a small circle. When Kirby gets within range, it concentrates and gathers up power for an attack. When charged, it releases a barrage of energy needles forward. When swallowed, it gives the Plasma copy ability.

Plasma Wisp also serves as the helper for the Plasma ability. It has access to all the same feats Kirby does with the power. Additionally, when playing Wisp, it does not move like a regular character as it is not affected by gravity. Merely hitting a direction on the cross pad moves it that way. This makes it unable to jump. It can also block regardless of its distance from the ground.

Kirby Air Ride

Plasma Wisp just floats near the ground, doing relatively nothing. It has no means of harming Kirby except for direct contact. Plasma Wisp gives the Plasma ability when inhaled.
