'''Gobbler''' is a [[boss]] that only appears in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''. It guards the [[Mirror Shard]] of [[Olive Ocean]] and is fought again after that in [[Boss Endurance]].

Gobbler is a blue shark with a red and white lifebelt attached to its waist, despite its ability to swim. There appears to be a star-shaped pattern with a lighter shade of blue on the tip of its snout. Gobbler's teeth are big in relation to its size, hence the name. What would be its tail is instead a propeller which keeps it afloat underwater.

==Boss Battle==
Gobbler fights an underwater battle against [[Kirby]]. The room is mostly made up of water, with three small platforms above it. Its attacks including summoning mini sharks (7 HP each underwater or 1 HP when out of the water), biting or charging into Kirby underwater, and jumping out of water to attack Kirby on the platform.

Since this is a mostly underwater battle, Kirby will want to use his [[Water Gun]] technique or go into battle with one of the few [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] that can attack underwater. Inhaling and swallowing the mini sharks will yield the [[Sword]] ability.

Gobbler has 60 HP and takes additional damage from two weaknesses:
*'''Electric''': +2 damage from [[Beam]] (or 'Chain Beam' from [[UFO]]), [[Spark]] (though practically only UFO can fight underwater among these abilities)
*'''Slash''': +2 damage from [[Cutter]], [[Cupid]], [[Sword]], [[Master]] (though practically only Sword and Master can fight underwater among these abilities)

Notably, Gobbler can be easily defeated by [[Stone]] (or the same attack from [[Smash Bros.|Smash]]). The stone will get slowed down when sinking in water, resulting in Stone Kirby's hitbox continuously attacking Gobbler - Stone does 10 damage per hit which can defeat Gobbler in six hits.

Upon its defeat, Gobbler will slowly sink for a few seconds before exploding and relinquishing its [[Mirror Shard]]. If it is defeated in midair, Gobbler will stay in midair before disappearing.

==Other appearances==
*Gobbler and several other [[boss]]es can be found on the stained glass windows from [[King Golem]]'s room in [[Moonlight Mansion]].
*Gobbler appears as a [[keychain]] in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''.
*Gobbler appears as a [[Sticker (Kirby: Planet Robobot)|sticker]] in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''.
*Gobbler appears on a [[Character Treat]] in ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', using its in-game [[sprite]] from ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''.

==Trivia==
*According to the booklet from ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'', Gobbler was originally titled "Great Jaws" in early development of ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''.
