Bugs:Kirby Super Star Ultra

This page details bugs of Kirby Super Star Ultra.

Speedy Doo Glitch

Either the Copy or Bomb ability is needed. Head to Skyhigh in Milky Way Wishes and enter the room in the door maze where a Parasol Waddle Dee and a Parasol Waddle Doo float down. Enter the right-most door to go into the next room, then head straight back into the previous room by going into the same door Kirby appeared out of. Zapping/bombing the Waddle Doo (who is on the right) and making it touch the platform where the middle door is located will make it run around the room at increasing speeds (and, occasionally, in the opposite direction it is facing) before eventually falling through the floor.

Wing Dive Glitch

This is only present in the Japanese version.

Cancel the Bomber Heading using A, then get severely hurt by an object (e.g. Gordos). Kirby shouldn't touch the ceiling or floor instantly, or the glitch won't work. You'll pass through walls vertically. Sometimes you go up, and sometimes you go down. You can press Y to shoot feathers to extend the zip.

Computer Virus Sound Glitch

Select Simirror in Helper to Hero, then get to the Great Dragon section of the Computer Virus battle. Wait for the Great Dragon to breathe fire, then immediately guard, reversing the flow of the flames. After the Great Dragon is done attacking, the fire sound effect can still be heard for another second.

Floating Knuckle Joe Glitch

Go to Aquarius in Milky Way Wishes and continue until finding a Broom Hatter with a Knuckle Joe. Past that is another pair of the duo. If the player watches the Knuckle Joe closely, it will sometimes jump on the ledge, and the game will register it as being on ground when it is walking on air.

Suplex Game Crash

The Suplex ability is needed.

Go to Peanut Plains in Dyna Blade and reach the ledge that leads to the mid-boss battle with Chef Kawasaki. On the opposite ledge, there is a Bomber. Wait until it is about to fall, then dash grab it. After Kirby falls down into the room, press A to perform the Suplex ability's Rock Drop attack.

If the Bomber was grabbed at exactly the right moment, it will freeze the game and cause the buttons to stop responding, though the music will continue playing.

No Copy from Waddle Doo

The Copy Copy Ability is needed.

Go to Skyhigh in Milky Way Wishes and advance before encountering the Parasol Waddle Dee and Waddle Doo. Copy the Waddle Doo when it's on the ground, and as soon as Kirby grabs the Beam ability, go back to Copy. Keep repeating, and eventually Kirby will take no ability from the Waddle Doo when he beats it.

Puffs of Dust in the Air

Start dashing, then turn in the opposite direction. Right when the turn is made, jump into the air, and the puffs of dust will still be seen at Kirby's feet.

Delayed Defeat of Dyna Blade

If the final blow is dealt to Dyna Blade (particularly in Helper to Hero) during some of her attacks, most notably her "swoop" attack, she will continue to finish her attack without any of the typical explosions seen upon defeating various bosses and mid-bosses. Once the swoop is finished, the explosions will be seen as she flees the battleground.

This was also present in the SNES original.
