“What's the buzz, cuz? This Cutter evolution has increased power and flying distance. It'll also ricochet off walls, so aim carefully to send it extra far! Clink, clank, BUZZZZZ!”

— Figure description from Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Buzz-Saw Cutter is an Evolved Copy Ability based on Cutter that appears in Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World. Kirby now wields a buzz-saw attached to a mechanical power saw hat, which shoots the saw forward to drag enemies along and pass through them. Unlike the previous evolutions, these buzz-saw projectiles have the ability to ricochet off walls, bouncing off of them in a mirror-like projection.

The blueprint for Buzz-Saw Cutter can be found in Searching the Oasis, in a hidden Treasure Chest off the main path behind a fence. Buzz-Saw Cutter is required to play the Treasure Road stage Off the Wall! Ricochet Switches.

Buzz-Saw Cutter moveset
Move	Button execution	Description	Damage (Star Bullet: 80)
フルメタルブーメラン Full-Metal Boomerang	B/Y	Kirby ejects a buzz-saw blade forwards. It can ricochet off walls multiple times, both when traveling outwards and when returning to Kirby, a technique called かべはんしゃ (Wall Reflection). If Kirby does not catch it, it will travel an indefinite horizontal distance, and can bounce off walls. Kirby's buzz-saw can also grab certain items and bring them to Kirby on the return pass - this property is named Item Grab.	13 (throw and return)
ホールドチャージ〜リターンアタック Halt Charge ~ Return Attack Halt and Charge - Return Attack	Hold B/Y and then release	By holding B/Y, Kirby freezes the tossed Full-Metal Boomerang in midair and charges it, and Kirby can move freely while charging. There are 3 levels of charge: Lv 1: The buzz-saw blade turns yellow, and has the same power as the uncharged Full-Metal Boomerang when released. Lv 2: The buzz-saw blade turns red and bigger, and has increased power when released. Lv 3: The buzz-saw blade turns flashing colors and even bigger, and has further increased power when released. After releasing B/Y (or over a certain time period at Lv 3), the buzz-saw blade accelerates backwards and returns to Kirby, and its power is increased as it travels further. It can bounce off walls on the return trajectory. English name for the former part given in the Line 'Em Up! Toss and Return Treasure Road, while the English name for the latter is given by Weapons-Shop Waddle Dee.	1 per hit (Halt and Charge) 13 (Return Attack Lv 1 early hit), 26 (Return Attack Lv 1), 39 (Return Attack Lv 2 early hit), 52 (Return Attack Lv 2), 105 (Return Attack Lv 3 early hit), 138 (Return Attack Lv 3)
からたけわり Cleaving Cleaving Cutter	B/Y near an enemy	Kirby takes his blade and swipes it towards the enemy.	13
カッターめったぎり Cutter Hacking Nonstop Cutter	B/Y after Cleaving Cutter	Kirby repeatedly strikes an enemy with his blade.	15
ファイナルカッター Final Cutter	B/Y after Nonstop Cutter	Kirby leaps upwards and drops downwards, dragging the nearby enemy alongside and shooting out a Beam and a Full-Metal Boomerang on landing (which can be charged into a Halt and Charge - Return Attack by holding and then releasing B/Y).	15 (rise and fall), 52 (finish), 26 (Full-Metal Boomerang)
