'''Bomb Blocks''' are a type of block that can detonate, as indicated by a bomb icon on it. The blocks are activated when [[Kirby]] attacks them. Normally, their use consists of clearing adjacent blocks, [[Star Block]]s, [[Metal Block]]s, etc, or turning portions of solid walls to rubble. Most often this clears a new path for Kirby. Occasionally a rogue bomb block will actually drop a wall down to obstruct Kirby either instead of or in addition to clearing the path.

'''Bomb Blocks''' are a type of block that can detonate, as indicated by a bomb icon on it. They cannot be [[inhale]]d, but they can be activated when [[Kirby]] attacks them, even with a [[Slide]] or [[Air Bullet]]. Normally, their use consists of clearing adjacent blocks, [[Star Block]]s, [[metal block]]s, etc, or turning portions of solid walls to rubble. Most often this clears a new path for Kirby. Occasionally a rogue bomb block will actually drop a wall down to obstruct Kirby either instead of, or in addition to, clearing the path.  


Most bomb blocks are easily activated, and in games such as ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', are used as part of the tutorial to teach players how to use the [[Slide]]. Other times, bomb blocks are put in harder to reach places (such as inside walls or ceilings) and require the use of [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] to detonate. Examples of these could be the use of [[Beam]] to reach through a wall, or [[Laser]] to bounce off a slope and ricochet towards the ceiling. In these cases, the bomb block usually opens a path to healing items, a [[Maxim Tomato]], [[Point Star|Point Stars]], or even a main collectible like a [[Treasure]].
Most bomb blocks are easily activated. In rare instances, which usually lead to extra areas containing bonuses, a bomb block will require the use of a copy ability to activate. These often lead to rewards such as hearts, maps, [[1-Up]]s, [[Maxim Tomato]], or even other [[Copy Ability|copy abilities]].


== Game appearances ==
*A bomb block found a short reach behind a solid wall can be activated with a [[Beam]] whip attack, including the one from the [[UFO (enemy)|UFO]] ability.
*An overhead, but inaccessible from the sides block, can be activated with [[Missile]]. If located directly above a slope, a ricocheted [[Laser]] shot will travel upwards to strike it.
*When far behind a solid wall, Kirby will need to use a further reaching ability. [[Ice]] can freeze enemies and kick them across the screen, even through walls.

Line 125: Line 39:
In both versions of ''Kirby's Star Stacker'', Bomb Blocks occasionally rise when the opponent's fist pounds the ground and adds a new row to the play field. The bomb blocks can be detonated by matching any two pairs either below and above, or to the left and right of it. When detonated, the bomb will eliminate the entire row of blocks beside it.
