“When Kirby uses these essences, he permanently learns a new ability!”
— Beginner's Room narration describing Copy Essences DeluxeA Copy Essence Deluxe (plural: Copy Essences Deluxe), also referred to as the Deluxe copy ability, is a trophy-like item exclusively found in the Milky Way Wishes game of Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra. It physically resembles a standard Copy Essence but, unlike the latter, not only instantly grants Kirby a particular Copy Ability, but also enables him to assume said ability at will at any later point of the game. Copy Essences Deluxe also transform Kirby's helper into a different character if it touches one. If Kirby's helper is controlled by a second player, it can also change character at will similar to Kirby.
Finding every Copy Essence Deluxe is a requirement for 100% completion of Milky Way Wishes.

| Floria | Ice | In the winter version of the main area, this essence can be found in a room all the way to the left. | ||
| Aqualiss/Aquarius | Beam | In the area with the branching underwater paths, Kirby must make a specific route from the beginning to get to this essence; down, right, down, right, up. | ||
| Aqualiss/Aquarius | Parasol | In the first long stretch of the stage, this essence can be found through a doorway hidden by a palm tree. Breaking a Bomb Block below reveals the doorway. | ||
| Aqualiss/Aquarius | Sword | Deep into the path, Kirby finds a doorway guarded by a horde of Meta-Knights. Entering this door leads to a challenge involving spike pits, a bunch of Blade Knights, and an encounter with Jukid. Defeating this mid-boss yields this essence. | ||
| Skyhigh | Jet | Along the path in the first large area, Kirby must find a Star Block in the ceiling and move past it to reach a doorway. The room on the other side holds this essence. | ||
| Skyhigh | Wheel | Further down the path in the first large area, Kirby must light a fuse and hop into the Cannon up ahead to get launched to a room with this essence in it. | ||
| Skyhigh | Wing | Once Kirby arrives in the first room with multiple doorways, he must take the following route to get to this essence most quickly; right, middle, left, middle. | ||
| Hotbeat | Fire | In the first area, Kirby must uncover a lavafall in an overhanging cave and then fly in to find a door on the other side. To avoid taking damage from the lava, he will need an Invincible Candy. | ||
| Hotbeat | Suplex | In the second area with the Carts, a doorway can be found by busting through a ceiling made of fragile blocks up ahead. In the proceeding room, Kirby will need to defeat Bugzzy before the essence will appear. | ||
| Cavios/Cavius | Bomb | Traveling along the top of the main cave area, Kirby will need to defeat Poppy Bros. Sr. to make this essence appear. | ||
| Cavios/Cavius | Hammer | Following the path downward from the top of the main cave area, Kirby will need to defeat Bonkers in a small room to make this essence appear. | ||
| Cavios/Cavius | Stone | In the second main area, Kirby will need to head up and make a waterfall pour into the chamber, opening a way to a doorway that leads to this essence. | ||
| Mecheye/Mekkai | Plasma | In the elevator room where the Mid-Bosses lay in wait, Kirby must fight and defeat Iron Mam in the upper-left chamber to obtain this essence. | ||
| Mecheye/Mekkai | Yo-Yo | After passing through two doorways, Kirby finds himself in a large interior area. He must venture below through a hall lined with spikes to find a large open room up above where a doorway will lead him past an elevator guarded by Gims to get this essence. | ||
| Halfmoon | Mirror | From the Mine Cart tunnel in the stars, Kirby can find a star block in the floor which leads to a room containing this essence. | ||
| Halfmoon | Ninja | From the upward-draft flight through the tunnels, this essence can be found through a doorway blocked off by a bomb block barrier. | ||
| ??? | Copy | Once this planet is located, obtaining the essence is a simple matter of getting to the end of the area. | This is the only essence of a limited-use ability. Having Copy on stand-by allows Kirby to obtain other abilities from enemies as per usual. |
Profiles[edit]
Kirby Super Star[edit]
- Instruction manual bio (page 26): "In this game, you cannot copy abilities by swallowing enemies, but you can get an enemy's ability by grabbing certain items. Once you get an enemy's ability, you can use it as many times you want."
- Beginner's Room: "You can't copy enemies' abilities in this game. Don't worry. There is a better way to do it! It's called the Deluxe copy ability. By touching the Deluxe copy characters, Kirby acquires that ability FOREVER! You can select acquired abilities by pressing START. There is no limit for using abilities. Use them as much as you want. You can select different abilities during play. Press X (or ← and →) to cycle through. If you come to a dead end and can't break through, you must find another hidden ability."
Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]
- Instruction manual bio (page 21): "Gives Kirby a new Copy Ability."
- Instruction manual bio (page 26): "In Milky Way Wishes, you generally can’t get abilities from enemies by swallowing them. In order to get a Copy Ability, you will have to find and touch a Copy Essence Deluxe. Once you have found a Copy Essence Deluxe, you can choose it at any time by tapping it on the lower screen."
- Beginner's Room: "In this game, Kirby can't copy the abilities of most of his enemies! But don't worry! He can do something that's even more helpful! He can use Copy Essences Deluxe! When Kirby uses these essences, he permanently learns a new ability! Then he can stock up on lots of different abilities... And all he has to do is tap one on the lower screen to start using it. And he can use them forever without them disappearing, so go nuts! Just tap the lower screen and use the +Control Pad to switch between abilities. You can also tap abilities you've collected on the pause screen to use them. If you get stuck, look for a hidden Copy Essence Deluxe somewhere."
