Kirby and the Forgotten Land: All the skills and how to get them

 We show you all the copy abilities that Kirby can use in Kirby and the Forgotten Land and the many special transformations that give him powers.

In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, our beloved pink ball can make use of two special powers: on the one hand, there are the copy abilities and on the other hand the transformations of "Transmorphosis", a novelty of this title.

In this entry of our complete guide, we are going to focus on teaching you what are the available copy skills and their evolutions; those that Kirby can obtain by vacuuming certain enemies by holding down the "B" button and that is stored in the Waddle Dees City armory (where they can be upgraded with the help of blueprints).

special transformations

In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, there is also a special power that allows us to transform into large elements of the stage and other curious objects to acquire unique abilities. This power is known as Transmorphosis and thanks to it we can momentarily control a car, a raft, a ladder, and much more.

If you want to know more about these special transformations, you can consult our section of the corresponding guide, where we treat them separately from the copy abilities.
