Kirby changes form and color every time he copies and ability. In his fire ability he can morph into a fireball. And more importantly in his stone form, he can transform into different sizes and shapes of rocks.

Kirby morphing into a fireball is a consequence of him copying the ability of a fire enemy. The enemy is the 'shapeshifter' (nominate Burnin Leo-- no really don't do that) and has the ability, Kirby is copying it.

I would attribute him having hats and changing colors to shapeshifting cred but I don't think hats and color changes are enough to make you a shapeshifter.

Thank you

Also he can shift based on anyone in Smash so i would argue he doesn't have a limited number of forms

Adding to this, in Smash Kirby can also fully control the stone transformation ability without a copy.

I am not trying to be difficult and I apologize if it is coming off that way. I am just trying to determine what is eligible. I was going to nom Tobias from Animorphs in my next bunch. But to me there's a lot of similarities with Kirny there. Tobias has to touch an animal to turn into them, Kirby needs to inhale someone to turn into them. If Kirby is going to be DQed then is Tobias as well? I don't want to waste nominations.

But he doesn't turn into them.

Yep. Getting a neat hat isnt shapeshifting
---

Well I think it's less the fact that Kirby needs an external catalyst and more that Kirby doesn't show a strong affinity for shapeshifting and just happens to do it at times with the sheer number of abilities he can copy.

But I'm not the host.
---

Got it. Taking aspects of them vs turning into them. I am seeing the line.

I am not sure if I agree with it since I see taking aspects as still shifting your shape, bit I am understanding that point of view now at least.

The field becomes far too wide if I don't take measures to ensure that it doesn't.

Kirby

Will argue pretty decidedly for it when I'm not on my phone at work

But it should be noted that
1. Kirby 64 has him literally taking his face off and throwing it
2. Various games have him straight up turn into a ball with no arms and legs
3. Some copies just completely change his shape (UFO comes to mind) and maintains the shape as long as he chooses
4. Kirbys Epic Yarn doesnt feature copy abilities at all and still has him changing his shape constantly

Its definitely not a matter of "he's wearing a hat that gives him a power"
