Poppy Bros. Sr. is a Mid-Boss that appears in several games of the Kirby series, debuting in the first installment, Kirby's Dream Land. He resembles the Poppy Bros. Jr. enemy, but is bigger. He also has slightly longer and more hooked feet than its smaller counterpart and possesses a flat white shirt collar, as well as ligaments connecting his feet.

Game Appearances

Kirby's Dream Land

In Poppy Bros. Sr.'s first appearance in Kirby's Dream Land, he jumps around mainly in one place, periodically throwing singular bombs at Kirby. On rare instances, he gradually increases the range of his jumps until he reaches the other side of the screen, but always returns to his initial position afterwards. To defeat him, Kirby has to inhale his bombs and spit them back at him three times. In the Extra Game, Poppy Bros. Sr. is able to execute a dashing attack.

Kirby's Adventure/Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

Poppy Bros. Sr. returns in Kirby's Adventure and its remake, Nightmare in Dream Land. Here, he acts mainly the same as he did in his first appearance. However, he is much more likely to perform larger jumps, and if he manages to jump over Kirby, he will continue to attack him from the opposite side. To defeat him, Kirby has to spit his bombs back at him or use a Copy Ability. In addition, Poppy Bros. Sr.'s own bombs may hurt him if they happen to explode near him. Inhaling and swallowing one after his defeat grants Kirby the Crash Copy Ability.

Although he is encountered many times throughout the game, Kirby sometimes having to fight two of them at once, Poppy Bros. Sr. is one of the only three Mid-Bosses in the game to not be fought in any of the Arenas.

Kirby Super Star/Kirby Super Star Ultra

The Mid-Boss's abilities become more advanced in Kirby Super Star and its remake; instead of always throwing one bomb, he is also able to throw three bombs at Kirby at once and may attempt to ram into him like in Kirby's Dream Land's extra game, in addition to being able to jump over him like in his Kirby's Adventure apppearance. Also like in Kirby's Adventure, Poppy Bros. Sr. is vulnerable to his own bombs. In these games, he yields the Bomb ability when swallowed.

Trivia

• Grand Wheelie, another Mid-Boss in the series, is an enlarged version of the Wheelie enemy in the same manner that Poppy Bros. Sr. resembles a larger Poppy Bros. Jr.
