This article is about the Copy Ability. For the item, see Bomb (object).

Bomb is a Copy Ability which allows Kirby to produce and then toss an unlimited supply of round explosives at his opponents. Although it is among the simplest in terms of its moveset, the Bomb ability is quite versatile due to its emergent techniques, as Kirby can use the ability to repeatedly bear down on a strong opponent, leave bombs behind to detonate on their own to solve puzzles, or cover various positions around himself to keep his foes at bay. In early titles, Bomb also had a fiery property to it, allowing it to light fuses, though this is no longer the case as of Kirby's Return to Dream Land. When Kirby gains the Bomb ability, he gains a dark blue fireworks cone hat, though in older titles, he would gain a blue floppy cap similar to the one for Sword.

Bomb made its first appearance in Kirby Super Star, and subsequent appearances were patchy and varied until Kirby's Return to Dream Land, where it would become standardized and attain mainstay ability status. Though many enemies and objects provide the Bomb ability when inhaled, its primary enemy representative is Poppy Bros. Jr., who acts as the Helper representing the ability in both Kirby Super Star and Kirby Star Allies.

Characteristics[edit]

Using the Bomb ability allows Kirby to duel at range with another bomb-throwing opponent.

Bomb is among the more versatile, unique, and difficult-to-master abilities in Kirby's arsenal due to revolving almost entirely around the deployment of explosives which are affected by gravity and other forces within the world. Unlike other abilities, which tend to involve many different powers and attacks, all of Bomb Kirby's moves start with pulling out a bomb as a distinct object. The rest comes down to how Kirby subsequently uses the bomb, whether it be a simple toss, rolling it along the ground, dropping it at his feet, or planting it right on an enemy's head. The bombs themselves have a timer, and will detonate on their own after this timer expires, including in Kirby's hands if he does not get rid of it fast enough. Bombs can deal substantial damage to enemies at a distance, and effective use of this ability will prevent most foes from getting anywhere near the pink puffball.

Despite its explosive nature, the Bomb ability does not normally have any elemental property associated with it (though prior to Kirby's Return to Dream Land, it could be used to light fuses and melt Ice Blocks, much like Fire). However, in certain games, it is readily miscible with other abilities and powers, giving it a much larger range of versatility. This is particularly exemplified in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards and Kirby Star Allies, where combinations and Power Effects can create quite surprising results such as the detonating throwing stars of Bomb-Cutter or the floating Bluster Bombs.

Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]

Kirby preparing to toss a bomb at Whispy Woods in Kirby Super Star

The Bomb ability made its first appearance in Kirby Super Star, and also appears in the remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra. In these games, Kirby acquires the ability primarily through swallowing bomb-wielding Poppy Bros. Jr. (who also acts as the helper for the ability), but can also obtain them from Jungle Bomb, Poppy Bros. Sr., the Combo Cannon's dropped bombs, and various Copy Essences. Kirby Super Star set the standard for how the Bomb ability typically operates (though this standard would not be consistently followed or expanded upon until Kirby's Return to Dream Land).

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards[edit]

Kirby using Bomb to dispatch some Bouncys in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

The Bomb ability makes its 3D debut in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Many different enemies provide this ability, including Poppy Bros. Jr., Skud, Rockn, and Blowfish. The Bomb ability can also be combined with itself and with other abilities to make potent explosive Power Combos.

On its own, the Bomb ability is exceedingly simple in this game. When pressing and releasing B, Kirby pulls out a bomb and then tosses it forward in an arc, where it will immediately explode on impact (or detonate after about one second if it has not hit something by then). How long the player holds B will determine how high Kirby tosses the bomb: just tapping B causes Kirby to drop it at his feet, while holding it for a while causes him to toss it high and far, with varying trajectories in-between these two extremes. When the bomb explodes, the lingering explosion effect will deal damage for a little while after the explosion actually occurs. Kirby himself is not affected by these explosions.

Kirby Air Ride[edit]

This ability allows you to hurl bombs with just a press of A. The distance that you throw the bombs depends on how long you hold the button down.
— Kirby Air Ride North American instruction booklet, page 40

Bomb appears again in Kirby Air Ride, and can be obtained by swallowing Balloon Bomber, collecting the appropriate Copy Panel, or getting it from a Copy Chance Wheel. Much like in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, the Bomb ability here is very simple: all the player needs to do is press and then release A to make Kirby toss the bomb, with holding A longer resulting in a further throw. An arrow appears in front of Kirby to show where the bomb will land, and a meter appears to visualize the power of the throw. Unlike in other games, the bomb ability here is single-use, as after it is thrown, Kirby immediately loses the ability. The explosion from the bomb is also very large, making it overall more similar to Crash.

Interestingly, the instruction booklet seems to give the impression that the ability can be used more than once before being used up. This would be more in-line with Bomb's appearances elsewhere in the series.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror[edit]

Bomb makes another appearance in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, here being very similar to its incarnation in Kirby Super Star. Kirby can acquire this ability primarily from the new enemy Foley, and from projectiles tossed by Prank, Bombar, and Wiz.

Kirby: Squeak Squad[edit]

Bomb also appears in Kirby: Squeak Squad, where it is practically identical to how it was in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. However, if Kirby collects the Ability Scroll for Bomb, he can combine the ability with Ice or Spark to create Ice Bomb and Thunder Bomb respectively. Doing so allows him to toss bombs infused with those elements: ice bombs can freeze enemies and water, while thunder bombs electrify foes and send sparks along metal surfaces. Unlike with Sword, there is no Fire Bomb combination, since Bomb already has fiery properties by default.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]

Kirby playing the Bomb Challenge in Kirby's Return to Dream Land

In Kirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, the Bomb ability reappears with a similar moveset to its appearance in Kirby Super Star, but notable aesthetic differences: instead of wearing a floppy blue cap, Kirby wears a fireworks cone-styled hat. In addition, the bombs now include star patterns on them, and feature a notable difference in functionality: in all previous games, the bombs had a flame effect, meaning they were capable of lighting fuses and breaking ice blocks. They are no longer capable of doing so on their own in modern titles starting with this game.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land introduced some notable aspects of the Bomb ability, including the moves "Bomb Bowl" and "Self-Destruct". In this game, the primary provider is once again Poppy Bros. Jr., though other enemies provide this ability as well, like Foley, Bomb Machine's missiles, Mr. Dooter's bombs, and Metal General and HR-D3's missiles. Bomb also gets its own Challenge Stage: the Bomb Challenge.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]

Bomb returns as an ability in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, with the same moveset as it had in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. However, it takes noticeably longer to deploy bombs in this game than it did in its previous appearance. This was likely done to balance the ability for the Kirby Fighters Sub-Game, which Bomb also appears in.

Kirby Fighters Deluxe[edit]

Official screenshot of Bomb Kirby with the "Heart Bomb" hat in Kirby Fighters Deluxe

Bomb appears as one of the selectable Copy Abilities in Kirby Fighters Deluxe, carrying over its look and functionality from the original Kirby Fighters. Its unlockable Rare Outfit has a similar design to the default hat, with an orange-and-purple diamond motif, a heart-shaped gem in its center, and a flashy pom pom on top; the bombs themselves are also adorned with hearts. According to a Miiverse post quoting designer Kenichiro Kita, this variant was designed to appeal to girls, as he thought the standard Bomb design appealed mainly to boys.[1]

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

Bomb returns as an ability in Kirby: Planet Robobot, unchanged from its appearance in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. It is obtainable by swallowing Poppy Bros. Jr., the missiles of Walker Waddle Dees with cannons, and many boss attacks involving explosives. It is also compatible with the Robobot Armor.

Kirby Battle Royale[edit]

That pointed hat gives you the Bomb ability! You should use Bomb Dunk if you want to shock your foe!
— Knuckle Joe's comment in Kirby Battle Royale

Bomb returns as one of the starter abilities for Kirby Battle Royale. While its moveset has been simplified for the sake of balance, the essential functions of tossing bombs and planting bombs on foes remains intact.

Four alternate pieces of headgear exist for the Bomb ability. These are the "Foley Cap", the "Bomb Cap", the "Boom Cap", and the "Qbby Cap". The Qbby Cap can only be obtained by scanning the Qbby amiibo.

Kirby Star Allies[edit]

Kirby rising up into the air using a Bluster Bomb in Kirby Star Allies

Bomb returns in Kirby Star Allies along with Poppy Bros. Jr. who is the Friend for that ability. In addition to the standard repertoire of attacks from other recent titles, Bomb can be infused with any of the five Power Effects to create five elemental variants. Unlike in Kirby: Squeak Squad, a fiery bomb combination is possible here. Notably, if the Power Effect on Bomb changes, any bombs that were already on the field will turn into the new elemental variant.

Of the possible combinations, the most notable one is Bluster Bomb, which gives Kirby or Poppy Bros. Jr. the ability to toss bombs that fall gently downward, extending their reach or letting them linger in the air as hazards for enemies. In addition, when holding a Bluster Bomb, the holder will float upward if they are in the air, including allies who just picked up bombs that Kirby or Poppy Bros. Jr. tossed.

Kirby Fighters 2[edit]

Bomb appears as one of the selectable abilities in Kirby Fighters 2, retaining its properties from Kirby Fighters Deluxe. Along with Sword and Staff, it is available for use right from the start. Its moveset is nearly identical to that of previous titles, but damage values have been adjusted. Notably, Kirby can now harm himself with his Self-Destruct technique, like he could in games prior to Kirby Star Allies. In this game, Bomb has two unlockable Rare Hats: the first one is the Heart Bomb hat from Kirby Fighters Deluxe, while the second is a new one, the Pirate's Tricorn, which lets Kirby toss bombs with skull and crossbones on them.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land[edit]

Bomb Kirby rolling bombs down a slope to defeat a Kabu in Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Bomb appears in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. In this game, the bombs Kirby throws have a new look, now a lighter blue in coloration and much larger. Kirby can still use familiar moves like Bomb Throw and Bomb Bowl, and he can no longer self-destruct with any bomb. Notably, bombs tossed into water will now gain an inner tube and coast along the surface, instead of sinking. In addition, unexploded bombs on the ground can be kicked by Kirby or Bandana Waddle Dee. During his adventures, Kirby can find blueprints, which can then be taken to Waddle Dee's Weapons Shop to evolve the Bomb ability into new forms: Chain Bomb lets Kirby throw multiple bombs whose explosions last longer and go off all at once upon enemy contact, while Homing Bomb lets Kirby throw chain bombs that home in on enemies.

This ability is one of four accessible in the game's demo. It automatically becomes Chain Bomb once the three available stages are complete, but this can be reverted back to the original ability if the player so desires.

— Meta Knight in Kirby Takes the Cake

Bomb is one of the recurring Copy Abilities in the anime series Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, first appearing in the season 2 finale episode Kirby Takes the Cake. When Kirby gains this ability, he is given a blue cap similar to the Sword cap, and resembling his in-game appearance prior to Kirby's Return to Dream Land. With the Bomb ability, Kirby is able to conjure bombs out of thin air and toss them at his opponents to attack. He can also return enemies' bombs to them.

In A Half-Baked Battle, King Dedede and Escargoon deliberately give Kirby this ability in order to free them all from the stomach of the monster Belly Buster.
