Shadow Kirby

“	This naughty shadow was said to have been born from the mirror reflecting Kirby's innocently pure soul. He has all the power of the real Kirby and uses his mirror-copying technique to thwart you!	„

Summary

Shadow Kirby is an alternative version of Kirby from the reality of the Mirror World, being born as a reflection of Kirby's innocently pure soul. Dark Mind corrupted his realm and made it into an "evil world", by copying the darkness in the hearts of people and making the Mirror World reflect that for its inhabitants, but Shadow Kirby didn't become malicious like Dark Meta Knight or the rest of the foes Kirby faced in Amazing Mirror. Instead, the poor fool would enjoy playing what he thinks are pranks on others by attacking them with his full power, with misdirected mischievous intents but ultimately acting as a guardian for his realm.
