'''Poppy Bros. Jr.''' is a commonly reoccurring [[enemy]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], first appearing in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. He is a small humanoid figure who wears a clown suit with a cap similar to that of [[Sword]] Kirby's, though Poppy Bros. Jr.'s outfit is usually a pale blue in color. 

Poppy Bros. Jr.'s role has varied greatly throughout the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. In his oldest appearances, he provided no [[Copy Ability]] and was typically seen riding on [[Grizzo]]s or balancing on [[apple]]s and [[Maxim Tomato]]es. Starting with ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' (and perhaps following in the footsteps of his older relative, [[Poppy Bros. Sr.]]), Poppy Bros. Jr. could be seen tossing bombs, and providing the [[Bomb]] ability when swallowed. This game also had Poppy Bros. Jr. throw boomerangs, with this case resulting in Kirby gaining the [[Cutter]] ability from him instead. In ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' and every subsequent 3D ''Kirby'' game, Poppy Bros. Jr. consistently provides the Bomb ability, having become the [[helper|mascot]] for said ability ever since.

===''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''===
[[File:KatFL Poppy Bros Jr screenshot.png|thumb|125px|Poppy Bros. Jr. prepping a bomb in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''.]]
Poppy Bros. Jr. returns as an enemy in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. Unlike past games, his bombs take on a different appearance, now black with red symbols (the symbols match the boss icon used in ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]'' and ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]''). The bombs can also roll down slopes. He once again provides the Bomb ability and has his own [[figure]] (though it lacks a description).

|'''Game Boy''' ''Kirby's Dream Land'' (08/1992) <br> '''NES''' ''Kirby's Adventure'' (05/1993)
|''"Sometimes riding on Grizzos, other times balancing on apples or Maxim Tomatoes, this little clown clearly has some skills. Unfortunately, his job isn't to make people laugh--it's to get in Kirby's way. As you might expect from the "Jr." in his name, there's also a Poppy Bros. Sr., and he's a slightly bigger nuisance."''
|}

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
Poppy Bros. Jr. appears as a primary [[smashwiki:spirit|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The spirit can be obtained by battling it through [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the [[smashwiki:Spirit Board|Spirit Board]], or by purchasing it from the [[smashwiki:Shop|Shop]]. It has level 1 stats of 544 attack and 362 defense, with level 99 stats of 2,721 attack and 1,814 defense. It is ★, attack-type, and possesses one spirit slot. Poppy Bros.

[[smashwiki:Bob-omb|Bob-ombs]] are the only items that can appear during this battle.

==In ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!''==
[[File:Anime Poppy Jr.png|thumb|150px|Poppy Bros. Jr. as he appears in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''.]]
Poppy Bros. Jr. makes a tiny cameo appearance as a [[monster]] in the ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' episode [[Cowardly Creature]]. He is shown briefly training as part of the "Young Monsters of the Future" program run by monster clowns, using a pair of roller skates.

==Trivia==
{{ImCap|image=File:Poppy Bros Jr alternate color KSSU.png|size=28px|align=left|caption=Poppy Bros. Jr. in Helper to Hero.|captionwidth=106px}}
*Poppy Bros. Jr.'s alternative coloration in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''{{'}}s [[Helper to Hero]] game is a pink suit and hat; this may be a nod to his classic design as used in [[:File:KDL_Grizzo_artwork.png|non-game artwork for Kirby's Dream Land, atop Grizzo]].
*Poppy Bros. Jr.'s bomb (in hand) blows up in ''5'' seconds unless thrown.{{fact}}
*Poppy Bros. Jr. initially had different eyes, which resembled black dots with wedges in the middle like a more classic cartoon. In newer titles, his eyes look more like Kirby's, though they are slightly wider.
*While Poppy Bros. Jr. serves as the tutorial to use Friend Hearts and create Friends in ''Kirby Star Allies'', he is not actually the first Friend Kirby can make in the game. If Kirby obtains the [[Sword]] Copy Ability by swallowing the [[Blade Knight]] present in the room before the tutorial, and an input is made on a second controller, Kirby will create a befriended Blade Knight before being given the option to throw Friend Hearts.
