'''Bomb Blocks''' are a type of block that can detonate, as indicated by a bomb icon on it. The blocks are activated when [[Kirby]] attacks them. Normally, their use consists of clearing adjacent blocks, [[Star Block]]s, [[Metal Block]]s, etc, or turning portions of solid walls to rubble. Most often this clears a new path for Kirby. Occasionally a rogue bomb block will actually drop a wall down to obstruct Kirby either instead of or in addition to clearing the path.

Occasionally a rogue bomb block will actually drop a wall down to obstruct Kirby either instead of or in addition to clearing the path.  


Most bomb blocks are easily activated, and in games such as ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', are used as part of the tutorial to teach players how to use the [[Slide]]. Other times, bomb blocks are put in harder to reach places (such as inside walls or ceilings) and require the use of [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] to detonate. Examples of these could be the use of [[Beam]] to reach through a wall, or [[Laser]] to bounce off a slope and ricochet towards the ceiling. In these cases, the bomb block usually opens a path to healing items, a [[Maxim Tomato]], [[Point Star|Point Stars]], or even a main collectible like a [[Treasure]].
