[[File:KDL Poppy Bros Jr sprite.png]] Poppy Bros. Jr. first appeared in this title. His main job is to ride on [[apple]]s and [[Grizzo]]s, though he can be seen on his own. He is worth 400 points when defeated.

Poppy Bros. Jr. appears in this title and its remake, and can be seen balancing on [[Maxim Tomato]]es as well as [[apple]]s. In order to obtain the tomato, Kirby must inhale Poppy Bros. Jr. to get him off of it. Attempting to attack him with any other method will destroy the tomato. He provides no ability if swallowed.

Poppy Bros. Jr. can be found in the following levels and stages:

Poppy Bros. Jr. (known here as '''Junior Poppy Brothers'''<ref>Name taken from ''Kirby's Pinball Land'' Instruction Booklet (American release), Page 13</ref>) makes several appearances on the [[Poppy Brothers' Land]] series of boards. In the middle board, two of them can be found hiding in holes, and leaving bombs behind. They are worth 250 points when hit here, and their bombs are worth 360 points. On the uppermost floor, three of them can be found emerging from doorways and heading toward unhatched [[Crack-Tweet|Chick]]s. If they get to the eggs, they will kick them causing them to reset, but Kirby can knock them away for 500 points.

[[File:KDL2 Poppy Bros Jr sprite.png]] Poppy Bros. Jr. reprises his role in this game, acting the same as he did in ''Kirby's Adventure''.

Poppy Bros. Jr. can be found in the following levels and stages:

Poppy Bros. Jr. appears as the pre-boss enemy in [[Kirby's Block Ball - Stage 4|Stage 4]] and is worth 5000 points on defeat.

''Kirby Super Star'' was the first game in the series to give Poppy Bros. Jr. weapons to use against Kirby. He can be seen with either a bomb or a boomerang, providing the [[Bomb]] ability in the former case and the [[Cutter]] ability in the latter. Despite these weapons, Poppy Bros. Jr. can also be found in more traditional roles, with no weapon or balancing on an [[apple]]. Poppy Bros. Jr. can also come in many different tunic colors. Poppy Bros. Jr. can be called as a [[helper]], gaining the move-set of Bomb Kirby and an [[Infinity Jump]]. In [[Revenge of the King]], Poppy Bros. Jr. is replaced by a similar enemy called [[Perot]].

In ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', Poppy Bros. Jr. is known as '''Poppy Bro Jr.''' and also appears as one of the selectable characters in [[Helper to Hero]].

[[File:KDL3 Poppy Bros Jr Sprite.png]] Poppy Bros. Jr. appears in this title, though he behaves like he did in ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'' and still provides no ability when swallowed.

In this game, Poppy Bros. Jr. appears as the second opponent Kirby has to defeat.

[[File:K64 Poppy Bros Jr Sprite.png]] This was the first game in the series to have Poppy Bros. Jr. consistently give Kirby the Bomb ability when swallowed. His bombs can also be swallowed for this ability. Poppy Bros. Jr. appears on [[Enemy Info Card]] #24.

Poppy Bros. Jr. can be found in the following levels and stages:

[[File:KTnT Poppy Bros Jr.png]] Poppy Bros. Jr. appears in this game, though not in his usual role. He rides along a bouncy ball in half-pipe areas moving back and forth, and will bounce Kirby if they collide, not able to harm Kirby directly. There are two varieties, with blue Poppys traveling in a smaller arc, and red ones covering the whole width of the half-pipe.

Poppy Bros. Jr. appears in this title, once again providing the Bomb ability consistently. He comes in various sizes, and tosses his bomb in a consistent arc at Kirby and his friends.

Poppy Bros. Jr. acts much as in ''Return to Dream Land'', though now, he gains the ability to toss bombs between foreground and background.

Poppy Bros. Jr. gains his biggest role in this title, as well as a re-design. He acts as the tutorial for befriending foes, appearing in the cut-scene as the first enemy Kirby is forced to charm using the [[Make Friend|Friend Heart]]. As an ally, Poppy Bros. Jr. has all of the same moves as Bomb Kirby, an [[Infinity Jump]], and the ability to receive a [[Power Effect]].

Poppy Bros. Jr. also has a slot in [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]], with his adventure given the name 'Guest Star Poppy Bros. Jr. Bombs Away!', and can be selected in [[The Ultimate Choice]].

In ''Kirby Star Allies'' Poppy Bros. Jr. can be found in the following levels and stages:

Poppy Bros. Jr. returns as an enemy in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. Unlike past games, his bombs take on a different appearance, now black with red symbols (the symbols appear to match the boss icon used in ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]'' and ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]''). The bombs can also roll down slopes.
