A '''Balloon Bomber''' is an enemy that debuted in the game, ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]''. Balloon Bombers tend to rather fly along the course on its own, rather than going after [[Kirby]], but it damages Kirby if Kirby touches it. When Kirby defeats it by spin-attacking, the Balloon Bomber flies off and explodes, with no danger. When inhaled, the Balloon Bomber gives Kirby the [[Bomb]] ability.
