By knocking two ability-possessing enemies together or swallowing two at the same time, you can mix the two abilities together to create a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, combining the Ice and Spark abilities will give you the Ice + Spark, which transforms Kirby into a refrigerator. You can also mix Fire and Cutter to give Kirby a flaming sword to wield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u661f\u306e\u30ab\u30fc\u30d3\u30a3 \u30b9\u30da\u30b7\u30e3\u30eb\u80fd\u529b\u300c\u30b3\u30d4\u30fc\u80fd\u529b\u30df\u30c3\u30af\u30b9\u300d\u7d39\u4ecb\u6620\u50cf\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GnEM6c17x6o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But the ability that has been exciting fans on social media lately is the Super Cutter, made from combining two Cutter abilities. When using the Super Cutter, a portion of Kirby\u2019s body is detached and transformed into a boomerang-shaped blade that\u2019s good for taking out far away enemies. It\u2019s also much larger and has a longer range than the regular Cutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the part of Kirby that doesn\u2019t turn into the boomerang, it remains controllable and acts as a sort of base for Kirby as a whole. It\u2019s thin, has no face, and is just a funny-looking little Kirby chunk.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 582px) 100vw, 582px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202957-001.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12724\" width=\"582\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202957-001.png 582w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202957-001-380x283.png 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202957-001-150x112.png 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202957-001-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202957-001-485x360.png 485w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202957-001-565x420.png 565w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202957-001-80x60.png 80w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220518-202957-001-265x198.png 265w\" \/><figcaption>Image Credit: Twitter user <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CopyDic_bot\/status\/806714181827207168?s=20&amp;t=OtCs8ytp43d_w492YuQAcg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@CopyDic_bot<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br>This little Kirby chunk has been a topic of discussion among fans in the past, but with <em>Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards<\/em> now coming to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, it looks like fans are once again enthralled by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On social media, fans are posting everything from fanart to handmade merchandise of the little guy.
