Bomb is a recurring Copy Ability that is characterized by the ability to use explosives in various ways once obtained. Bomb Kirby may throw, bowl, and drop explosive bombs for the purpose of defeating enemies, including aerial enemies. Bomb Kirby's only change in appearance is typically a blue hat, similar to Sword's hat. In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, however, the hat resembles a party hat. Bomb may be obtained by swallowing bomb-based enemies or touching a Bomb Copy Pedestal or Copy Essence Deluxe.
Game appearances
Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra
In Kirby Super Star and its remake Kirby Super Star Ultra, Bombs reappear with Kirby gaining typical bomb abilities, gained by swallowing a Poppy Bros. Jr. with a Bomb. Kirby may also summon Poppy Bros. Jr. as a helper by sacrificing his ability.

Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
The Bomb ability reappears in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. Very much to Kirby Super Star, it is obtained by inhaling a Poppy Bros. Jr. or a defeated Poppy Bros. Sr.
Kirby & the Amazing Mirror
In Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, the Bomb ability is one of the many obtainable abilities in the game. Unlike the precedents, however, Kirby gains the Bomb ability by inhaling Foleys or Pranks that throw bombs at Kirby.
Kirby Air Ride
This ability appears in Kirby Air Ride. If Kirby inhales a bomb-inducing enemy, or if he touches a Copy Ability Panel, he receives this ability. By pressing A, he can throw the bomb, creating an explosion that gradually increases diameter. If the A button is pressed longer, the meter fills up more, allowing Kirby to throw farther. An arrow indicates where the bomb is going to land. Kirby can throw only one bomb if he gets this ability.
Kirby Squeak Squad
In Kirby Squeak Squad, Kirby can obtain Thunder Bombs or Ice Bombs by mixing Spark ability with Bomb ability or Freezing ability with Bomb ability. This can be done only after obtaining an Ability Scroll. When used, the Thunder Bomb's explosion causes enemies near it to be electrified. It can also be used to electrocute metal in certain levels. When used, the Ice Bomb's explosion freezes enemies solid and can also be used to harden lava.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land
In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, the Bomb ability reappears with similar functionality as previous games, however, with an aesthetic change. Instead of wearing a blue cap, Kirby wears a party hat. In addition the explosive bomb has a star design on it.
