| “ | These baddies will swoop down at Kirby anytime he gets near. Rolling under mesh floors is a good way to get by safely. | ” | — Description of Blinkbat from the manual. |
Blinkbat is a flying blue bat-like enemy with a single eye appearing in Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble. It will pursue Kirby whenever it can see him and hurt him on contact, but Kirby can sneak past unnoticed by passing under mesh flooring. Blinkbat can be defeated using the Microphone or by running into it with Invincible Candy. Some Blinkbats will also vanish when Kirby grabs a Key from a Treasure Chest.
