'''Bomber''' is a semi-rare [[enemy]] that appears throughout the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], making his first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. His appearance is true to his name, as he looks similar to a small, purple or black bombshell with a red tip, a pair of legs and a skull icon on him to indicate the danger he poses to Kirby. In almost every one of his appearances, he walks slowly toward an edge when spotted, then proceeds to teeter on it, then drop off. If he hits the ground without being interrupted, he will explode, which can hurt Kirby from a very large distance. As such, it is imperative to deal with a Bomber whenever one is on screen. Bomber will always yield the [[Crash]] [[Copy Ability|ability]] when swallowed.


==Overview==
Bomber is referred to with masculine pronouns in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games and neutral pronouns in certain ''Kirby'' games. For the purposes of this page, Bomber will be referred to using masculine pronouns outside of certain games where the enemy is referred to using neutral pronouns.
Bomber looks similar to a small, purple or black blimp with a red tip, a pair of legs and a skull icon on it to indicate the danger it poses to Kirby. In almost every one of its appearances, it walks slowly toward and edge when spotted, then proceeds to teeter on it, then drop off. If it hits the ground without being interrupted, it will explode, which can hurt Kirby from a very large distance. As such, it is imperative to deal with a Bomber whenever one is on screen. A Bomber will always yield the [[Crash]] [[Copy Ability|ability]] when swallowed.

{{quote|This walking bomb has a skull on it. When it starts blinking, run!|Patch Plaza description}}
Bomber appears in this title, serving a more specific purpose than usual. It often appears from [[Yin-Yarn]]'s magic enemy doors and will walk slowly towards a ledge, then teeter and fall, blowing up and harming Kirby and Fluff if they are in proximity. Kirby and Fluff can use the [[Yarn Whip]] to capture Bomber and transform him into a yarn bomb, which they can then throw in an arc at targets. The bomb goes off after a few seconds, and can destroy cloth blocks. If whipped but not captured, Bomber will not immediately disappear, instead taking a couple seconds before detonating.
 
In ''Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn'', Bomber also makes an appearance in [[Slash & Bead - Stage 2|Stage 2]] of the [[Sub-Game]] [[Slash & Bead]].

Bomber makes an appearance in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', at last appearing in the main modes. It acts much the same as it always has, and still provides the [[Crash]] ability. Like in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', Bomber is still one of the most fragile enemies (with less than 20 HP). Even a slight contact with [[Kirby]] / [[Meta Knight]]'s [[guard]] will make it explode, but the player in guard won't take damage from the explosion.

In the [[Kirby Fighters (series)|''Kirby Fighters'' games]], Bomber appears as an item during battles. Here, fighters can pick it up and toss it. After the toss, if Bomber collides with an enemy fighter, it will blow up immediately, dealing up to 64 points of damage and knocking the opponent away. Otherwise, it will start walking around after it hits the ground, turning around if it collides into any solid object. While walking, it cannot be picked up again, and will detonate after about 10 seconds, or sooner if it teeters and falls off a ledge. Bomber's explosion does not affect the fighter who threw it or his teammate.
Notably, unlike most other items, the Bomber will go off in the fighter's hands after a while if he does not throw it.
In [[Story Mode: The Destined Rivals]], there are two story items which involve Bomber. The first is the Anti-Explosion Charm, which greatly reduces the damage the player's fighter takes from Bomber explosions, among others. The second is the Explosives Sticker, which makes the player's Bombers deal more damage to opponents. Additionally, there is a special stage condition which can happen referred to as "Explosive Stage", which restricts the items that appear to only Bombers and [[Timed Dynamite]].

This article is about Bomber as a character. For other uses, see Bomber (disambiguation).
This article is about the walking bomb enemy, and should not be confused with Bumber.

Bomber is a semi-rare enemy that appears throughout the Kirby series, making his first appearance in Kirby's Adventure. His appearance is true to his name, as he looks similar to a small, purple or black bombshell with a red tip, a pair of legs and a skull icon on him to indicate the danger he poses to Kirby. In almost every one of his appearances, he walks slowly toward an edge when spotted, then proceeds to teeter on it, then drop off. If he hits the ground without being interrupted, he will explode, which can hurt Kirby from a very large distance. As such, it is imperative to deal with a Bomber whenever one is on screen. Bomber will always yield the Crash ability when swallowed.

Bomber is referred to with masculine pronouns in the Super Smash Bros. games and neutral pronouns in certain Kirby games. For the purposes of this page, Bomber will be referred to using masculine pronouns outside of certain games where the enemy is referred to using neutral pronouns.

In both games, Bomber has 16 HP with 2× weakness to fire element attacks, and if he takes less than 16 damage, he will explode instead of getting safely defeated.

Kirby's (Extra) Epic Yarn[edit]

This walking bomb has a skull on it. When it starts blinking, run!
— Patch Plaza description

Bomber appears in this title, serving a more specific purpose than usual. It often appears from Yin-Yarn's magic enemy doors and will walk slowly towards a ledge, then teeter and fall, blowing up and harming Kirby and Fluff if they are in proximity. Kirby and Fluff can use the Yarn Whip to capture Bomber and transform him into a yarn bomb, which they can then throw in an arc at targets. The bomb goes off after a few seconds, and can destroy cloth blocks. If whipped but not captured, Bomber will not immediately disappear, instead taking a couple seconds before detonating.

In Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, Bomber also makes an appearance in Stage 2 of the Sub-Game Slash & Bead.

Locations[edit]

Bomber can be found in the following levels and stages in Kirby's (Extra) Epic Yarn:

Kirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]

Bomber returns in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. However, the Crash-yielding enemy in the main modes is Searches (like in Kirby's Return to Dream Land), and Bomber only appears in Kirby Fighters the Sub-Game, where he serves as an item. Bomber does not appear in the single-player mode.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

Bomber makes an appearance in Kirby: Planet Robobot, at last appearing in the main modes. He acts much the same as he always has, and still provides the Crash ability. Like in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Bomber is still one of the most fragile enemies (with less than 20 HP; Jet's Store Power and Hover do 20 damage). Even a slight contact with Kirby / Meta Knight's guard will make him explode, but the player in guard won't take damage from the explosion.

Locations[edit]

In Kirby: Planet Robobot Bomber can be found in the following levels and stages:

In the Kirby Fighters games, Bomber appears as an item during battles. Here, fighters can pick it up and toss it. After the toss, if Bomber collides with an enemy fighter, it will blow up immediately, dealing up to 64 points of damage and knocking the opponent away. Otherwise, it will start walking around after it hits the ground, turning around if it collides into any solid object. While walking, it cannot be picked up again, and will detonate after about 10 seconds, or sooner if it teeters and falls off a ledge. Bomber's explosion does not affect the fighter who threw it or his teammate.

Notably, unlike most other items, the Bomber will go off in the fighter's hands after a while if he does not throw it.

The second is the Explosives Sticker, which makes the player's Bombers deal more damage to opponents. Additionally, there is a special stage condition which can happen referred to as "Explosive Stage", which restricts the items that appear to only Bombers and Timed Dynamite.
