{{quote|Everyone knows the only reason Bouncys like to bounce so high is 'cause they like the view from up in the air. Things just seem more...peaceful up there. Every day is a good day to Bouncys. No one's gonna keep 'em down!|'''Bouncy'''{{'}}s [[figurine]] description in ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]''}}
'''Bouncy''', originally known as '''Bouncy Ty''' (either a pun on "Bouncy Toy", "Bouncy Tie", or simply a misspelling), is an [[enemy]] debuting in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]''. She is a pink, springy, toy-like creature that wears a pale red ribbon, has two beady eyes and a red seat above her spring. Fitting to her name, Bouncy continually bounces, although sometimes she may leap forward attempting to stomp [[Kirby]]. Bouncy gives no [[Copy Ability]] when [[inhale]]d.

===''Kirby's Dream Land 2''===
[[File:KDL2 Grass Land 1-3.png|thumb|Kirby jumping toward a Bouncy Ty in ''Kirby's Dream Land 2''.]]
[[File:KDL2 Bouncy Ty sprite.png]] Bouncy Ty first appears in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]''; she is introduced in [[Grass Land (Kirby's Dream Land 2)|Grass Land]]. Bouncy Ty, along with [[Waddle Dee]] and [[Bronto Burt]], are the most common enemies in this game.

In ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'', Bouncy Ty can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-KDL2|GL1=y|GL3=y|BF3=y|RF1=y|RF2=y|I1=y|I4=|RC1=y|RC2=y|CP1=y|CP3=y|CP5=y|DC1=y|DC3=y}}

===''Kirby's Block Ball''===
[[File:KBBa Bouncy sprite.png]] Bouncy appears as a common enemy in ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]'', and is worth 600 points when defeated. She also drops an Ability Changer, making this the only game in the series where Bouncy can provide a [[Copy Ability]] (albeit indirectly).

===''Kirby's Dream Land 3''===
[[File:KDL3 Bouncy Sprite.png]] Bouncy appears again in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', where her behavior is basically the same. Like in ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'', they are first seen in [[Grass Land (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|this game's version of Grass Land]], but they are not very common here.

In later stages, drawings of Bouncys appear on certain walls, alongside drawings of Waddle Dees and Bronto Burts. These can become sentient to attack Kirby. After coming to life, Bouncy drawings function exactly like regular ones.

In ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'', Bouncy can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-KDL3|G2=y|G3=y|G5=y|R5=y|S1=y|C3=y|C4=y|C6=c|I3=y|I5=c}}

===''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''===
[[File:K64 Pop Star Stage 2 screenshot 09.png|thumb|200px|Kirby spitting out a bouncy to defeat Big Bouncy in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''.]]
[[File:K64 Bouncy Sprite.png]] Bouncy reappears in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', and a [[Big Bouncy|Mid-Boss who is simply a giant version of Bouncy]] appears in the second stage of [[Pop Star (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)|Pop Star]]. The Mid-Boss has the same behavior as her smaller counterparts; she does not move, but bounces repeatedly in place.

In ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'', Bouncy can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-K64|P1=y|P2=y|P3=y|Ro2=y|A2=y|N3=y|N4=y|S3=y|S4=y|Ri3=y}}

===''Kirby: Canvas Curse''===
[[File:KCC Bouncy sprite.png]] Bouncy appears again in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', behaving the same as in past installments. As with other common enemies, she can be stunned using the [[Magical Paintbrush]] to make it easier to defeat. Bouncy is among the more prevalent enemies in this game, appearing in every level except [[The World of Drawcia]].

In ''Kirby: Canvas Curse'', Bouncy appears in the following locations:

===''Kirby Mass Attack''===
Bouncys appears in the ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' [[Sub-Game]], [[Kirby Brawlball]], acting as a source of points in the upper portion of the main board. There are three of them lined up, worth 10 points the first time they are hit, with the value incrementing by 10 each subsequent hit.

===''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''===
[[File:KRtDL Bouncy Halcandra.jpg|thumb|right|100px|A Bouncy from [[Halcandra]]]]
Bouncy returns in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and its remake ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''; her behavior hasn't changed. A new, uncommon enemy named [[Bouncy Sis]] is a bigger version of Bouncy that appears alongside her smaller counterparts, resembling the mid-boss from ''Kirby 64''.

Additionally, there is a variant of the Bouncy that lives on [[Halcandra]]. She behaves the same, but has a black and white color motif. Their face is similar to [[Void Termina]]'s.

In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' and ''Kirby's Return to Dream Lane Deluxe'', Bouncy can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-KRtDL|CC2=y|CC3=y|CC4=y|RR3=y|WW1=y|WW2=y|WW3=y|WW4=y|EE5=y|DD1=y|DD2=y|DD3=y}}
{{Appearances-KRtDLD-Epilogue|1-1=y|2-1=|3-2=y|4-1=y|4-2=y|Secret=y}}

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
[[File:DDD Green Greens screenshot 3.png|thumb|200px|[[King Dedede]] approaching a Bouncy in [[Dedede's Drum Dash]].]]
Bouncy returns in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', but only appears in [[Dedede's Drum Dash]] as an obstacle to be avoided.

===''Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe''===
Bouncy makes an appearance in ''[[Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe]]'' as a hazard, bouncing atop certain drums in stages. [[King Dedede]] will need to avoid her while moving forward.

===''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse''===
Bouncy returns in ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'', behaving the same as in past installments. They can be easily defeated by Kirby's [[Touch Dash]] or [[Bandana Waddle Dee|Waddle Dee]]'s spear. They are worth 100 points and 3 [[Point Star]]s when defeated.

In ''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse'', Bouncy appears in the following locations:

===''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' & ''Kirby's Blowout Blast''===
Bouncy returns in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', appearing in the [[Sub-Game]] [[Kirby 3D Rumble]]. They are distinguished from the other targets in that they can avoid projectiles when they bounce. 

Bouncys also appear in ''[[Kirby's Blowout Blast]]'' with the same behavior.

===''Kirby Battle Royale''===
{{Quote|This cute umbrella is perfect for skipping around in battle.|'''Bouncy Umbrella''' description from ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]''}}
In ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'', there is an unlockable [[Costumes#Kirby Battle Royale|costume]] for [[Parasol]] Kirby based on Bouncy. It is called the Bouncy Umbrella, and it costs 750 Battle Coins.

===''Kirby Star Allies''===
[[File:KSA Bouncy.jpg|thumb|A Bouncy in ''Kirby Star Allies'']]
Bouncy returns as a common enemy in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. They can come in a variety of sizes and speeds. [[Big Bouncy]]s also make their return, but only in [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!|Guest Star Adeleine & Ribbon - Artful Adventurers]] and [[Heroes in Another Dimension]].

In ''Kirby Star Allies'', Bouncy can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-KSA|GG=y|DDD=y|ExE=y|EcE=y|SA=y|PF=y|SL=y|Gamma=y|D1=y|D3=y|D4=y}}

===''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''===
Bouncy returns as an enemy in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. She is typically seen bouncing quickly back and forth between specific areas. Unlike [[Rabiroo]], Bouncy tends not to chase after Kirby.

In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', Bouncy can be found in the following stages:
{{Appearances-KatFL|N2=y|E4=y|Wo1=y|Wo2=y|Wi2=y|Wi3=y|R4=y|R5=y|F3=y|F4=y|F5=y|F6=y}}

===''Kirby's Dream Buffet''===
Bouncy returns as a common enemy in ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', here redesigned to resemble gummy candy. She serves as an obstacle on race courses, and also appears carrying [[Strawberry|strawberries]] in the Minigame mode.

==In the ''Kirby'' novel series==
In the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], Bouncy sometimes appears as a character, usually making minor appearances.

Bouncy makes a minor appearance in ''[[Kirby: Uproar at the Kirby Café?!]]'' when [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]] suggests using Bouncy to make the chairs and tables of the Dedede Café bounce. Bouncy is surprised by the suggestion and tries to turn it down, but Dedede doesn't listen.

Bouncy is one of the eight competitors of the gourmet fest in ''[[Kirby: Full Stomach, Perfect Circle, Dream Buffet!]]''. She is the one that wishes them all to compete under the same conditions, prompting them all to turn into balls, having the same size, shape and speed. The food that [[Waddle Dee (novel character)|Bandana Waddle Dee]], [[Pauline]] and the others make for her to want to quit the gourmet fest is fruit jelly.

Bouncy also makes a minor appearance in ''[[Kirby: Sever Evil with a Slash in a Flash!]]'' as one of the many habitants of [[Dream Village]]; she owns a [[wikipedia:Kanzashi|kanzashi]] (hair ornaments) shop.

Bouncy appears in ''[[Kirby: The Dream Onsen is a Good Hot Spring♪]]'', as one of the many Dream Land residents that go to [[Sunset Village]] to help revitalize it. She leads the creation of the inn, at first alone, and later with the help of [[Lovely]] as well.

==Trivia==
*Bouncy's top half, and Bouncy Sis' by extension, resembles Kirby greatly, except for the bow.
*In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]'', Bouncys have two small strands of hair on the side of their heads. This detail is absent in all later appearances.
*In ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]'', Bouncys can get knocked out of their spring, suggesting it is some sort of vehicle, not actually a part of their body.
*According to their [[Figurine]] description from ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'', along with their [[Dedede Directory]] post,<ref>[https://twitter.com/Kirby_JP/status/1237574023925522432 The Great Dedede Directory #37] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20230523203542/https://twitter.com/Kirby_JP/status/1237574023925522432 archive])</ref> Bouncys jump because they enjoy the view.
