To counter Copy Kirby being useless, you are right for the most part, but you can get Copy as a permament ability in Milky Way Wishes and you can use it to get the abilities of enemies who give you abilities in the other games, so you can essentially play the sub game like any other Kirby game, albiet with an extra step. To counter Spark Kirby in Super Star & RTDL, you can guard while you constantly mash the d-pad so you won’t look like a fool when using the ability.

[@7-Volt]

in RTDL you can even shake your wii remote to charge, so its possible to charge while you are moving around the level or avoiding enemies/bosses attacks

[@Nanospark0]

Copy was probably added to give Player 2 T.A.C., which pretty much gave them free reign to choose their ability without having to sacrifice themselves or rely on Player 1 to give them a different ability.

[@nicholasharvey1232]

Copy can also be used to get the Crash ability from Scarfies, which cannot be eaten. It can also be used to copy an ability from a boss while you are still fighting it.

It also produces the helper Tac who is basically a second Kirby with his transformation ability. In some ways he's better. Like how his guard makes him completely untouchable. Even the nerfed version of Tac in Ultra's helper to hero is still busted.

It's so good to see so many people come out in defense of Spark, Copy, Krunch and Slippy! 1) Not only is Spark useful because of the plasma shield it generates, but it can be recharged, other than shaking the Wiimote in the Wii game,but also pressing left and right quickly: no need to walk for a long time. Plus, Wisp, the helper, is cute 2) Copy has been abundantly discussed, and T.A.C. is definitely a fan favourite 3) I never used Krunch, only Diddy, Tiptup and the little mouse girl, but I see that many people did: challenge isn't uselessness 4) Slippy is a mechanic, not a fighter,he's there for the specifics! 5) Cosmog and Cosmoem are that way because they are not meant to be used at all: they're part of the story, until they evolve into Lunala/Solgaleo, unlike Magikarp, which is designed to offer a rewarding challenge to the player 6) Pichu is there for variety and offers a harder to hit character, who's also very light: it can be annoying.

If not postgame. I forget when exactly you can unlock both of these terrible Robos, but I think I remember I had to beat the main story to even have a chance to unlock them.

[@CinnaSwirls]

1: In Milky Way Wishes, Kirby DOESN'T have the ability to copy abilities on his own and Copy can be gained at the very start of the sub game. 2: Copy allows you to copy mini bosses right away, and even the Scarfy enemy. Scarfy gives Crash and cannot be swallowed. 3: Play with a friend, turn copy into a helper, and you've got the best helper in the entire game. Tac can become invulnerable with guarding, and has a very good attack if you save if for a mini boss or a boss. If you don't, Player 2 gets to choose their ability for themselves. Honestly, it's baffling how many people miss these very obvious uses, especially the first one.

[@CinnaSwirls]

Regigigas has finally been given the move Protect lately to stall out Slow Start, if I recall correctly. Even then, can't be worse than Unown. You can guard with Spark Kirby so you can stand in place while you charge, and in Kirby's Return to Dream Land you can shake the Wii remote instead. Once you learn to get the charges quickly it's very high ranged DPS. Spark is a good ability. You're right about Krunch being useless, but by the time you're racing T.T. you should be releasing A right before the zipper to get a better boost, it will be green fire.

Spark and Plasma are two different abilities. Spark is from Kirby’s Adventure (Coby Ability’s origin game) and Plasma from Super Star. Spark originally only had the move Spark Attack, a stationary move that surrounds Kirby in electricity, then was expanded in following titles. Plasma only had Power Charge and projectile moves. With Spark being expanded and given ranged moves, it became move viabile. Before Kirby Star Allies, Plasma was a very situational ability that was desirable for bosses or skipping a very small amount of puzzles. It wasn’t completely useless, but it wasn’t the best for clearing enemies quickly for casual players. Also I feel like Copy was intended to give Player 2 a chance to share an ability with Player 1 (since creating a helper would forfeit Kirby’s Ability) as the Copy move doesn’t defeat most standard enemies. It’s use in Milky Way Wishes is mostly where it’s desired.

You can also hold charge for quite a while and quickly re-boost it when it starts to wear off.

Kirby's "Copy" Ability isn't totally useless. It's a pretty good source of damage against bosses, and in Milky Way Wishes, it's the easiest way to get abilities you haven't unlocked. Warioware GIT 9-Volt slander seems like a skill issue, my boy

I like how Regigigas was too strong so instead of just reducing it’s stats they gave it an ability that makes it weaker then it becomes too strong after 5 turns

[@zigazav1]

The "Copy" Copy Ability is useless in most of the gameplay of Superstar for a reason: It's designed to solely be discarded into becoming a Helper: Tac. However, the only use it has to be useful, is in Milkyway Wishes, since Kirby cannot directly copy his enemies there, and only if you get it fairly early-on through a secret path (I dunno if that's exclusive to the "Ultra" remake of the game though, I think I've only seen gameplay of that secret place on Superstar Ultra, and only because chat in a livestream, directed the streamer to that location early-on in Milkyway Wishes.) since, in Milkyway Wishes, the way you get Copy Abilities is through obtainable collectibles you can use at any given time to gain that collectible, that do not get consumed after use. If you already have most, if not all, of the Copy Abilities unlocked already, the "Copy" Copy Ability is useless to Kirby there too.

[@alvarochaves1999]

Slippy Toad created the android NUS (R.O.B. 64 outside Japan), the translator that Fox used in Star Fox Adventures... The Copy ability is the only way to get the Crash one from Scarfy. The Spark ability can also be used as a shield when charged. Krunch is the 3rd faster racer of Diddy Kong Racing.

Nebby is weak therefore it belongs in the bag!

[@earlwilliams7754]

Slipped does have one great feature; he can bring up the boss's health bar.

[@Superemie401]

1) His name is Slippy. 2) Unfortunately, he can’t show Andross’ health bar (Fox told him and his team to get out of Venom), the one of Star Wolf (They’re four with their own health bar. Do I need to say more?) and the boss of Titania, as he’s taking Slippy hostage until he’s rescued by Fox and the others.

[@manupm9161]

Another useless things are the small ally units in every warriors game, they literally are unable to kill any single enemy unit, no matter how weak it is

[@Leeffe]

The sleep copy ability deserves a spot on here more then plasma/spark since it's completely useless

[@ecstaticwooper368]

I feel like the inclusion of spark kirby was just you desperately trying to find something below average in a nintendo game to pad out the video

[@dorkfish1275]

spark is pretty good actually, shaking the wii remote charges the attack up so you can constantly have a charge shield that protects you from most attacks up and running.

[@BJGvideos]

Cosmog/Cosmoem are only useless in gameplay. In the story they have the ability to open the way to Ultra Space Regigigas was made for double battles. Pair it with something that swaps abilities and go to town with it!

[@Amelia_Daughter_Of_Rosalina]

I may be wrong but you can charge up the spark ability by pushing down on the d pad

[@Se663-lc3gt]

Thumbnail: Gives reasons why things are useless. Also thumbnail: SPARK KIRBY

[@nasiersteven5164]

TBH, SSBU Mew should have acted like a worse version of Gardevoir like a small shield

Krunch is not bad in Hovercraft and Plane, the issue is....Drunkstick exist.

[@carlosbarraganrosillo3534]

Poor Diddy. RIP. Slippy. Krunch is very slow. The worst Pokémons. Poor Captain Falcon. Kirby had all powers. NESS is very brave.

[@karar.kendall4872]

9 volt game over

[@MagicRhymes1]

1:13 i'm pretty sure mew was always useless and didn't use any of that made-up CD nonsence

[@dynamic8192]

0:40 Cosmog or Cosmoem in hackmons holding eviolite are too bulky that they are usable.

[@rautamiekka]

Slippy even sounds like a 6yo ... Ppl had complained about him so much, but I had 0 clue he even sounds useless.

[@Superemie401]

That’s because he’s actually voiced by a woman. Why? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@rautamiekka]

@@Superemie401 What do you mean by "why" ? I meant ppl really hate him, and his VA is doing a good job making him unique by making him sound like a useless lil kid, if that was how he was designed.

[@kirbytheninja2665]

1:37 why would Nintendo add that in the first place 4:04 have you checked the movesets for these copy abilities?

[@Theoneeyethatstaresatyou7244]

Literally no one reads the move sets on the pause menu unless they get bored and read it

[@Hidden_Fern]

The gift shinies for pokemon rumble *world* are useless. However this isn't applicable to all rumble games. Rumble U has very very powerful code redeemed shinies (around 1700 power which you can get as early as ~100 power). It can be argued in the original rumble only, shinies are just as or stronger than non-shinies, as they're guaranteed to have a special trait. The original WiiWare title was the only one to have random shinies that are the same power level as non shinies.

[@88megagirl]

Spark is the opposite of useless if the game has motion controls. Just a little shaking of the controller leaves enemies in your wake. I used spark to beat the true arena in return to dreamland

[@VixstraLarge]

In Copy's defense, it's both a funny attacking move if it doesn't copy anything and it's a good thing in Milky Way Wishes, and Tac is actually a beast in Helper to Hero

[@Theyoinkysploinker]

Well ironically spark is the most broken ability against the final boss in both phases for kirby in dreamland for the wii (and the remake on the switch)

[@julienbronsch5039]

As far as I know Sand took the Spot in the remake

[@Theyoinkysploinker]

@@julienbronsch5039 yeah, it did

[@EmeraldoTheDragon]

On the subject of useless Pokémon Abilities, Archen and Archeops have Defeatist which is just as bad as Regigigas' Slow Start. It halves their Attack and Special Attack stats when their HP is down to half or less.

[@coleminer8847]

In Return to Dreamland and Star Allies, with spark/plasma you can just shake the controller

[@crimsonemperor2219]

Join a double battle, hit regigigas with worry seed changing its ability to insomnia, have fun

[@LordRemiem]

Poor Regi :( I'll never get why he should endure such bullshit: Slow Start is even hard-coded in Legends Arceus, a game without abilities. He's useless in competitive and not worth using in a playthrough 😭

[@trainboy13brightonworkssha87]

There is an ability called Light in Kirby's Adventure which is FAR more useless than Spark/Plasma and Copy (There's also Metal and Paint which are useless, but at least they can still attack enemies while light just lights up a room...and that's it, it can't even hurt regular enemies)

[@silvypie2627]

Spark is the best ability for speedruns in planet robobot

[@IvanFranco120]

For most bosses...

[@Mythol-OG]

What’s the song that plays for most of this video

[@diamondcom8545]

4:19 Say what you want, but shaking your wiimote and running towards enemies makes you feel unstoppable.

[@Imthespeedyboi]

Copy and plasma is the useless Sleep ability: Am I a joke to you? Edit:Copy is not so bad yes Kirby can absorb too but he can't absorb some of the ability like the crash for example

[@yadielenielbellecolon982]

Thank For The Video 💝🤩

[@snowsugardashietheaircatgi932]

9-Volt doesn’t deserve to be useless, he’s so cute! 💖💖

[@ChaosandKirby]

Spark is good for the Magolor races in Kirby's dream collection special edition cause you will want to always be moving in those. Other then that, the ability is annoying.

[@adamj.cuthbert7528]

Cosmog and Cosmoem can still use Struggle, like every other Pokémon, once they run out of PP. If anything, Cosmog's ability makes it even more useless. Unown at least has Levitate, which provides immunity to Ground-type attacks. Cosmog has Unaware, which is great on some Pokémon (Clefable and Quagsire), but useless on Cosmog. The only reason Cosmog has Unaware is because the Japanese name of the ability is Airhead, and Cosmog is meant to be a ditzy Pokémon.
