Bomb is among the more versatile, unique, and difficult-to-master abilities in Kirby's arsenal due to revolving almost entirely around the deployment of explosives which are affected by gravity and other forces within the world. Unlike other abilities, which tend to involve many different powers and attacks, all of Bomb Kirby's moves start with pulling out a bomb as a distinct object. The rest comes down to how Kirby subsequently uses the bomb, whether it be a simple toss, rolling it along the ground, dropping it at his feet, or planting it right on an enemy's head. The bombs themselves have a timer, and will detonate on their own after this timer expires, including in Kirby's hands if he does not get rid of it fast enough. Bombs can deal substantial damage to enemies at a distance, and effective use of this ability will prevent most foes from getting anywhere near the pink puffball.

Despite its explosive nature, the Bomb ability does not normally have any elemental property associated with it (though prior to ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', it could be used to light [[fuse]]s and melt [[Ice Block]]s, much like [[Fire]]). However, in certain games, it is readily miscible with other abilities and powers, giving it a much larger range of versatility. This is particularly exemplified in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', where combinations and [[Power Effect]]s can create quite surprising results such as the detonating throwing stars of [[Bomb-Cutter]] or the floating Bluster Bombs.

Bomb also appears in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', where it is practically identical to how it was in ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''. However, if Kirby collects the [[Ability Scroll]] for Bomb, he can combine the ability with [[Ice]] or [[Spark]] to create Ice Bomb and Thunder Bomb respectively. Doing so allows him to toss bombs infused with those elements: ice bombs can freeze enemies and water, while thunder bombs electrify foes and send sparks along metal surfaces. Unlike with [[Sword]], there is no [[Fire]] Bomb combination, since Bomb already has fiery properties by default.

Bomb returns in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' along with [[Poppy Bros. Jr.]] who is the [[Helper|Friend]] for that ability. In addition to the standard repertoire of attacks from other recent titles, Bomb can be infused with any of the five [[Power Effect]]s to create five elemental variants. Unlike in ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'', a fiery bomb combination is possible here. Notably, if the Power Effect on Bomb changes, any bombs that were already on the field will turn into the new elemental variant.

Of the possible combinations, the most notable one is Bluster Bomb, which gives Kirby or Poppy Bros. Jr. the ability to toss bombs that fall gently downward, extending their reach or letting them linger in the air as hazards for enemies. In addition, when holding a Bluster Bomb, the holder will float upward if they are in the air, including allies who just picked up bombs that Kirby or Poppy Bros. Jr. tossed.
