Cupid

Cupid is a Copy Ability that first appeared in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. It also appears in Kirby: Squeak Squad. Kirby receives this ability by sucking up and swallowing a Cupie. While Kirby has the Cupid ability, he possesses a halo and a set of wings, along with a bow and arrows.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
Cupid Kirby makes his debut in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. Kirby can receive the Cupid ability by sucking up a Cupie or by touching a Copy Essence.

Kirby: Squeak Squad
Cupid makes its second appearance in this game, and is once again obtained by swallowing Cupie. The ability has not fundamentally changed since Amazing Mirror, but obtaining the Ability Scroll for Cupid allows Kirby to charge up and fire three arrows at once.

Cameo Appearances

 * Cupid Kirby appears as a keychain in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, mistakenly named Angel Kirby (the Japanese name).
 * Cupid Kirby appears in the Celebration Picture: "The Great Labyrinth Battle" in Kirby Star Allies.

Trivia

 * Another bow & arrow-based Copy Ability, Archer, was introduced in Kirby: Triple Deluxe.
 * In some spin-offs like Kirby Mass Attack and Kirby Fighters (Deluxe), when a Kirby is defeated and fainted, an angel-like spirit will be released out of his body which resembles Cupid Kirby but is ghostly white and without the bow and arrow.
 * In the Japanese games, the pause description describes that the Cupid ability (Angel in the Japanese version) is like a demon, which is possibly a homage to Kirby's alias "The Pink Demon".
 * Cupid Kirby appears on the cover art and commercials of Kirby & The Amazing Mirror.
