Pikachu preparing to fight the Kirby Team in SSB
The Kirby Team is a team that is made up of Kirby clones that appear in the single player mode of Super Smash Bros. and Adventure Mode of Super Smash Bros. Melee.
In Super Smash Bros., the player battles a total of eight Kirbys on the Dream Land stage. The Kirby team in SSB consists of Kirbys that already have the character's abilities. The Kirby team in SSB are also lighter, making them easier to KO. Defeating the Kirbys in the order they appear (respecting the characters' order in the character select screen) results in achieving the Kirby Ranks bonus. The final Kirby faced will either be a secret character (among those unlocked) or a plain Kirby.
The Kirby Team in Melee.
Similarly, the Kirby team in Melee consists of fifteen Kirbys that come with a random character ability from among the currently unlocked characters. If the player defeats the Kirby team in Melee under thirty seconds, they will have the chance to fight Giant Kirby. Event 28: Puffballs Unite! also features the Kirby Team, but with only 14 of them and four appearing at a time.
In Brawl, the Kirby Team may appear as the enemies fought on level 5 of Classic Mode, but none will possess a copy ability.
