A Copy Essence (also called a Copy Pedestal) is an object which gives Kirby the associated Copy Ability if Kirby moves over it. The Copy Ability it gives is traditionally indicated by the enemy on the Essence; the same enemy which gives the ability when inhaled. It is first introduced in Kirby Super Star, although its concept and appearance is very similar to the museums in the earlier Kirby's Adventure. In Kirby's Return to Dream Land however, the Copy Ability given by the Copy Essence is represented by the Copy Ability's unique Ability Star instead of the enemy.
