Mid-Bosses are enemies stronger than most regular enemies but weaker than most [[Boss]]es that appear in the worlds that Kirby travels through. Once Kirby enters the small area in which a Mid-Boss is located, he cannot proceed or go back until his opponent has been defeated (with a few exceptions), which usually takes longer than beating a regular enemy. Mid-Bosses also typically give out [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]], but these can only be obtained after Kirby has knocked them out, enabling him to inhale and swallow them (in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', they are guaranteed to drop the Copy Ability hats even if their bodies are destroyed). Their name comes from the fact that they are similar to bosses, but are found in the middle of the levels. | ||
Like most bosses, Mid-Bosses will drop debris, conjure minions or cause [[Dropped Star]]s to appear when they attack, giving Kirby means to fight back if he has no Copy Ability. | Like most bosses, Mid-Bosses will drop debris, conjure minions or cause [[Dropped Star]]s to appear when they attack, giving Kirby means to fight back if he has no Copy Ability. | ||

|It is debatable whether this weak form of [[Kracko]] is a boss or mid-boss, since he is fought in the Arena by himself, but there is no other mid-bosses in the level he appears in, [[Bubbly Clouds]].
