Here’s a couple quick sketches showing a possible moveset for Shadow Kirby, if he were to appear as a Dream Friend in Kirby Star Allies! He would be similar to Smash Kirby, where he has moves based around a collection of different Copy Abilities. In this case, it’s the Copy Abilities in Amazing Mirror. Below is more in depth descriptions of the moveset. I’m not necessarily good at balancing or anything like that, so for all I know this is probably a little much for one character haha. Marx seems to be pretty advanced though, so who can really say.





Laser Shot: Tapping B would cause Shadow Kirby to quickly put on the Laser visor and fire a single laser forward.





Throw: Holding B would cause Shadow Kirby to start inhaling. However, when an enemy/object gets sucked towards Shadow Kirby, he will instead grab the enemy/object, and hold it. You can then aim where you want to throw said enemy/object, similar how you aim a bomb throw. The enemy/object would fly forward, without losing it’s movement path.





Master Drill: Pressing B while dashing would cause Shadow Kirby to pull out the Master Sword, and do a drill attack similar to the regular Sword ability. This attack has fire properties, and can give the Fire element to other allies.





Missile: Up+B causes Shadow Kirby to turn into a Missile. While transformed, the Missile can turn it’s direction using right or left. It will explode upon coming into contact with a wall or enemy. This ability ends after a certain amount of time, so it can’t be abused.





Explode: Pressing B while transformed into a Missile will cause Shadow Kirby to explode early, without needing to run into anything or wait for the Missile to explode on it’s own.





Magic: More-so based off of Magic’s appearance in Squeak Squad rather than Amazing Mirror, pressing down, followed by Up+B caused Shadow Kirby to pull out a hat, followed by a clown head on a spring to pop out. This move is taken from Magic’s move “Clown Spring” from Squeak Squad.





Cupid Shot: Pressing B in midair caused Shadow Kirby to quickly grow wings and a halo, while also pulling out a bow and firing a single arrow. Holding B while in the air will allow him to float in midair for a short time, where he can then aim the bow up or down. The arrows are affected by gravity, but holding this move down causes it to fly farther.





Triple Cupid Shot: Dashing, jumping, and then pressing B causes Shadow Kirby to quickly pull out his bow and fire three arrows that move in a straight line, unaffected by gravity.





Shadow Grab: Pressing Up/Right/Left + B when near an enemy will cause Shadow Kirby to grab the enemy.





Mini Ambush: Pressing B after using Shadow Grab will cause Shadow Kirby to shrink, and quickly attack the enemy all over it’s body. The final hit on the enemy will cause it to bounce around for a bit. This can be used during boss fights, if used on any enemy or object that can be grabbed. The enemy/object will act as a projectile that can do damage to the boss.
