'''Bonkers''' is a simian-like [[Mid-Boss]], wielding an enormous hammer which resembles [[King Dedede]]'s. He is characterized as a large-bodied bipedal (though still noticeably hunched over in posture) anthropomorphic gorilla who wears denim jeans and a belt, and has a "coat" of what appears to be purple body hair around his upper body and head, though it is shaped like a heavy vest. His brow extends as to obscure his eyes, rendering them unseen behind a black veil (though some artwork portrays him with dot eyes). His arms are proportioned cartoonishly, with overly large forearms compared to the upper arm width. His hands and feet are well-defined, with five digits on each, unlike characters like [[Kirby]] who have no visible fingers or toes. His ears are often pointed like those of an [[wikipedia:Elf|elf]], but this is not a consistent feature of his.
'''Bonkers''' is a simian-like [[Mid-Boss]], wielding an enormous hammer which resembles [[King Dedede]]'s. He made his first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. In order to attack, Bonkers may charge at [[Kirby]], jump in the air and swing his hammer, or throw [[Coconut]]s at Kirby to deal damage. These Coconuts may be inhaled then shot out to harm him. Once defeated, Bonkers lays on the ground for a bit, like all mid-bosses, at which point Kirby can inhale him and get the [[Hammer]] ability. Since Bonkers was the only enemy with a hammer prior to ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', he is the [[helper]] for the Hammer ability. He appears in every game with the Hammer ability, and has had many spin-offs and variations.

==Physical appearance==
Bonkers is characterized as a large-bodied bipedal anthropomorphic gorilla, though still noticeably hunched over in posture. He has the look of a stereotypical "[[wikipedia:greaser (subculture)|greaser]]"; he wears denim jeans and a belt, and he has a "coat" of what appears to be purple body hair around his upper body and head, which is stylized to resemble a heavy vest and a pompadour hairstyle. His brow extends as to obscure his eyes, rendering them unseen behind a black veil (though some artwork portrays him with dot eyes).


His name is a pun on "bonkers", a slang term for "crazy", describing to his behavior, and the verb "bonk", referring to the hammer he holds.
Bonkers' arms are proportioned cartoonishly, with overly large forearms compared to the upper arm width. His hands and feet are well-defined, with five digits on each, unlike characters like [[Kirby]] who have no visible fingers or toes. His ears are often pointed like those of an [[wikipedia:Elf|elf]], but this is not a consistent feature of his. Additionally, in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, Bonkers' feet are colored differently than his skin, resembling shoes; this is not the case in any of his other appearances.

In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', Bonkers is a common mid-boss that appears in most of the game modes, starting in [[Spring Breeze]]. He is also the [[helper]] for the Hammer ability. As a mid-boss, Bonkers has largely the same move-set as he did in ''Kirby's Adventure''.

'''Bonkers''' appears in the ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' episode [[Goin' Bonkers]], serving as the guest star and the [[monster]] of that episode. Initially, Bonkers lived on his own in a jungle outside of [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]], but was captured by a circus and forced to perform for them for a time. While in his cage, Bonkers would be able to catch glimpses of his trainer watching episodes of ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', and became enamored with the idea of being a [[Star Warrior]] like [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]]. Eventually, Bonkers was able to escape the circus with one of their hammers, and traveled great distances in order to reach Dream Land and find his idol Kirby.
