===''Kirby's Dream Land''===
[[File:KDL Poppy Bros Sr sprite.png]] Poppy Bros. Sr. first appears in ''Kirby's Dream Land'', as the mid-boss in [[Green Greens]]. 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 throw three bombs at a faster rate than normal, and execute an unpredictable dashing attack.

===''Kirby's Adventure'' / ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===
[[File:KA Poppy Bros Sr sprite.png]] [[File:KNiDL Poppy Bros Sr sprite.png]] Poppy Bros. Sr. reappears in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby: 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, 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 explode near him. Inhaling and swallowing Poppy Bros. Sr. after defeating him grants Kirby the [[Crash]] Copy Ability.

Although Poppy Bros. Sr. 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 [[Arena (Kirby's Adventure)|Arenas]], likely due to giving the player a one-use Copy Ability.

==== Locations ====
In ''Kirby's Adventure'' and ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'', Poppy Bros. Sr. can be found in the following levels and stages:

===''Kirby's Pinball Land''===
Poppy Bros. Sr. (named '''Poppy Brothers'''<ref name=pinball>''Kirby's Pinball Land'' Instruction Booklet (American release), Page 15</ref> or simply '''Poppy'''<ref name=pinball/>) appears as the boss of [[Poppy Brothers' Land]]. He attacks by bounding between two small platforms and throwing bombs at the flippers to temporarily disable them. Once hit three times, he splits into two Poppies and continues the fight. Each of them must then be hit three more times to defeat them.

===''Kirby's Avalanche''===
[[File:KAv Poppy Bros Sr sprite.png|right]]
{{Quote|This Happy-Go-Lucky, bomb-slinging boss is your first real Avalanche challenge.|''Kirby's Avalanche'' Instruction Booklet (North American print), page 21}}
[[File:KAv Poppy Bros Sr cutscene sprite.png]] In ''[[Kirby's Avalanche]]'', Poppy Bros. Sr. is the first opponent of the Normal game mode. He plays similarly to Waddle Dee, as he never turns his Puyos. His ''Puyo Puyo'' equivalent is Draco Centauros.

===''Kirby's Block Ball''===
[[File:KBBa Poppy Bros Sr sprite.png]] Poppy Bros. Sr. reappears in ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]'' as the boss of [[Kirby's Block Ball - Stage 4|Stage 4]]. His attack pattern and movement is very similar to his fight in ''Kirby's Pinball Land'', though he does not split into two. He is worth 50000 points when defeated.

===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
[[File:KSS Poppy Bros Sr.png]] [[File:KSSU Poppy Bros Sr Sprite.png]] Poppy Bros. Sr. reappears in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. 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 mode, but not as fast as in said game, in addition to being able to jump over Kirby like in his ''Kirby's Adventure'' appearance. 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.

In ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', Poppy Bros. Sr. is known as '''Poppy Bros Sr.'''.

Poppy Bros. Sr. also appears as an opponent in [[The Arena]] and [[Helper to Hero]], as part of "Mid-Boss All-Stars 2". He is not faced in [[The True Arena]].

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
[[File:KTD Green Greens tapestry unfurled.png|thumb|250px|The Green Greens tapestry in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' which features Poppy Bros. Sr.]]
In ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', Poppy Bros. Sr. makes a cameo appearance in his ''Kirby's Dream Land'' sprite form on the [[Green Greens]] tapestry that Kirby unfurls in [[Lollipop Land - Stage 2]].

==Trivia==
*In ''Kirby's Dream Land'', Poppy Bros. Sr. is the only one of the game's Mid-Bosses to have no apparent relation to the boss of the stage he is fought in ([[Whispy Woods]]).
*Despite being a larger and more powerful version of [[Poppy Bros. Jr.]], the smaller counterpart was the one who ended up appearing in far more titles. Poppy Bros. Sr. meanwhile has not appeared in any significant capacity since ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', and has yet to make an appearance in 3D in a released game, although he was meant to appear in [[Kirby's Air Ride (Nintendo 64)|the Nintendo 64 version of ''Kirby's Air Ride'']].
