if it were up to me i'd make kirby an uber-legend because he's supposed to be ridiculously strong (my avatar refers to him as "god" for a reason), but since i can't, i'll just settle for the ridiculous versatility part
also what was the mario tie with? and why not have a proper tiebreaker?

Type: Flying/Dark
Ability: Gluttony / Intimidate / Protean (Hidden)

(To be more canon-accurate, his stats would probably be something like 150/150/90/150/90/90 but obvs that wouldn't fly with the rules)

Other Goodish Moves: (in no particular order) Swords Dance, Low Kick, Seismic Toss, Defog, Spiky Shield, Aqua Jet, Frost Breath, Rock Slide, Waterfall, Aura Sphere, Poison Jab, Discharge, Iron Head, Psyshock, Drill Run, Dazzling Gleam, Lunge, Flamethrower, Surf, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Psychic, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Leaf Blade, Stone Edge, Hydro Pump, Fire Blast, Hurricane, Megahorn, Flare Blitz, Focus Blast, Brave Bird, Power Whip, Gunk Shot, Wood Hammer, Leaf Storm, Bulk Up, Crunch, Night Daze
Reasoning: Kirby focuses on wind attacks such as Inhale and Air Bullet in base form, and unlike Sonic, he can actually fly, so Flying-type it is! In addition, his title as "Pink Demon"/"Pink Terror", tendency to rip mind-controllers apart with alarming frequency, issues with disposing of insects, and abnormal brutality are pretty Dark-type. Gluttony for a HUNGRY BOI, Intimidate reflects his terrifying reputation, while Protean reflects how he always seems to be fluent in whatever fighting style he tries next. (There are others that could make sense, like Friend Guard and Trace, but this seems to be a good lineup.) Kirby is equally proficient in martial and magical techniques, so his Attack and Special Attack are equal. He also takes a ton of hits, so he has high HP so he can... well... take a ton of hits. Kirby isn't awfully fast compared to his other powers in the Kirby series, and the same applies here. Star Shot is based off of his signature attack in base form. Low Kick is his slide kick, Defog from his inhale, Crunch because, again, HUNGRY BOI, and Night Daze from his association with stars which are pretty "night". His other moves are based on his various Copy Abilities. No way in hell I'll explain all of them, but notably: Boomburst is Mike, HJK from Fighter, Slack Off from Sleep, Rapid Spin from Tornado and Wheel and Thunder Wave from Spark. Less obvious or less well-known include Dazzling Gleam from Light, Drill Run from Animal, and Megahorn from Beetle.
