'''Bang-Bang''' is a type of enemy appearing in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse|Canvas Curse]]''. It resembles a {{gray}} and red rocket with a yellow nose, white wings, a pair of angry-looking eyes and, while on the ground, two yellow feet. Bang-Bang gives out the [[Missile]] [[Copy Ability]] in both of its appearances. In English, Bang-bangs are named such since they explode. Their Japanese name comes from Dokkōn, which is a Japanese onomatopoeia for "Kaboom!".

'''Bang-Bang''' is a type of enemy appearing in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]''. It resembles a gray and red rocket with a yellow nose, white wings, a pair of angry-looking eyes and, while on the ground, two yellow feet. Bang-Bang grants the [[Missile]] [[Copy Ability]] in both of its appearances. Bang-Bangs get their name from their explosive nature.

In their first appearance, Bang-Bangs initially walk on the ground, waiting for [[Kirby]] to come near. Once he does, they momentarily stop and, after a few seconds of aiming, proceed to attack by launching themselves at him, losing their feet in the process. While airborne, Bang-Bangs relentlessly home in on Kirby; however, they have bad deceleration and cannot turn around very fast, which can be exploited to cause them to miss their target.

However, they have bad deceleration and cannot turn around very fast, which can be exploited to cause them to miss their target. After traveling through the air for a set amount of time, Bang-Bangs begin to flash red and eventually self-destruct, harming Kirby if he is caught in the blast. Smashing into an obstacle or directly hitting Kirby likewise causes them to explode. Bang-Bangs have low health and can be destroyed by any attack.

===''Kirby: Canvas Curse''===
In ''Canvas Curse'', Bang-Bangs appear in some levels, going towards Kirby. As they never walk in this game, their feet are not seen. Other than that, however, their appearance here is otherwise very similar to the way they appear in ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''.
[[File:KCC Bang-Bang sprite.png]]
In ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', Bang-Bang appears once again, usually in secret places. It no longer has feet like in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', but otherwise is unchanged.

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

==Trivia==
*It is possible that their feet are retractable, because their appearance in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'' depicts Bang-Bang without feet. Additionally, their method of attack in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' removes their feet.
