Ice

Ice is a copy ability introduced in Kirby's Adventure alongside Freeze, Burning and Fire. The ability allows Kirby to freeze objects, such as water and lava, and enemies themselves, turning them into Ice Blocks as a result.

Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
In Kirby's Adventure and its Game Boy Advance remake Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Ice enables Kirby to use Ice Breath, which can freeze an enemy into an ice block. Kirby can then use the Ice Kick move to kick the frozen enemy, damaging other enemies in its path. Ice can only be obtained from Pengys.

In the original version, Ice changes Kirby to appear white with blue feet, an appearance also used for the Copy Ability Freeze. In Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Kirby instead appears blue, and he wears a crown of ice crystals with a yellow circlet and an orange gem.

Kirby's Dream Land 2
In Kirby's Dream Land 2, Ice can be combined with one of the Animal Friends, either Rick, Coo, or Kine, to give it a different move. Ice is the only Copy Ability capable of destroying the Ice Ability Blocks. An enemy frozen in a block of ice travels in a straight path in the opposite direction that Kirby is touching the block of ice from and ignores terrain, but not breakable blocks. Ice is particularly effective at defeating Propeller Bombs, as it instantly freezes them, whereas other attacks simply stun them if they are angry. Ice can be obtained from Master Pengy or Mr. Frosty (or by inhaling the latter's ice blocks), which previously granted the Freeze Copy Ability.

Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra
In Kirby Super Star and its Nintendo DS remake Kirby Super Star Ultra, Ice has multiple moves, with its dash attack being based on the Freeze Copy Ability and it having other methods of using ice besides breathing it. Most of Ice's moves can freeze an enemy in a block of ice. Aside from Chilly and Mr. Frosty, both of whom previously gave the Freeze Copy Ability in Kirby's Adventure, Ice can also be obtained from Marx's ice bomb. Chilly is the Helper who can be spawned from the Ice Copy Ability.

In Kirby Super Star Ultra, Ice's crown now has a blue gem instead of an orange one. Ice can also be obtained from Marx Soul's ice bomb.

Kirby's Dream Land 3
In Kirby's Dream Land 3, aside from the returning Animal Friends, Ice can also be combined with Nago, ChuChu, and Pitch. Gooey, who behaves near identically to Kirby, can also obtain Ice. An enemy frozen in a block of ice travels in straight path in the opposite direction that Kirby is touching the block of ice from and penetrates enemies; it does not ignore terrain, breaking at walls, but can go up slopes on the ground or down slopes on the ceiling. Ice is required to defeat the Metroids in Stage 2 of Iceberg to obtain the Heart Star from Samus. Ice can be obtained from Chilly (which had given the Freeze Copy Ability prior to this game), Wappa, the Ice Bukiset, and Yuki.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
In Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Ice is among the Copy Abilities that can be combined with other ones to create Power Combos. Ice is capable of destroying blue color-coded blocks. An enemy frozen in a block of ice travels in a straight path in the opposite direction that Kirby touches the block of ice from; it is destroyed upon hitting a wall or enemy, and it does not destroy breakable blocks. Ice can be obtained from Chilly, Propeller, Emp, Frigis, and Miracle Matter's ice crystals.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, like in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Ice is limited to Ice Breath. An enemy frozen in a block of ice travels in a straight path in the opposite direction that Kirby is touching the block of ice from and ignores terrain and breakable blocks. Ice no longer makes Kirby blue, likely due to the potential confusion in multiplayer and the Spray Paint function that allows the player to change the color of Kirby. Ice can be obtained from Pengy, Mr. Frosty, and Dark Mind's blue stars.

Kirby: Squeak Squad
In Kirby: Squeak Squad, Ice can freeze water, extinguish fires, and harden lava. Upon obtaining the Ice Ability Scroll, located in the first Treasure Chest in the Extra Stage of Jam Jungle, Ice can now aim its ice breath up and down. Its main providers of this ability are Mr. Frosty and Pengy once again.
