A '''Boulder'''{{title}} is a hazardous object introduced in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. It is - exactly as the name implies - a large chunk of rock, ice, or other material that can usually be seen rolling down slopes or falling in from above or the background. Boulders will harm [[Kirby]] and other playable characters on contact, regardless of where they may be in relation to the boulder. Boulders typically cannot be destroyed, and instead must be avoided or passed through.
A '''boulder'''<ref>"''The idea for this approach came when we were designing the rolling '''boulders''' in Fine Fields.''"--[[Satoshi Ishida]], ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' [[Miiverse]] post from December 15th, 2014</ref> is a hazardous object introduced in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. It is - exactly as the name implies - a large chunk of rock, ice, or other material that can usually be seen rolling down slopes or falling in from above or the background. Boulders will harm [[Kirby]] and other playable characters on contact, regardless of where they may be in relation to the boulder. Boulders typically cannot be destroyed, and instead must be avoided or passed through.


In most games where they appear, Boulders are used as hazards in narrow sloped hallways, often initially propped up by a [[Bomb Block]] barrier. Once released, Kirby is usually tasked with either keeping ahead of them or avoiding them by slipping into a small crevice that the boulder rolls over. In some titles, it is sometimes possible to pass through boulders by using a lengthy attack, [[Guard|guarding]], or otherwise taking advantage of invulnerable states and moving through. In most games, boulders break blocks on contact, including Metal Blocks; in many games, they also defeat enemies on contact.
