'''Bomber''' is semi-rare enemy that appear throughout the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], making its first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. 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.

Bomber debuted in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and [[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land|its remake]]. Here is where its general attack pattern was first established.

Bomber appears as a common enemy in this game, and is worth 600 points when defeated. It also drops the Crash item.

Bomber is fairly rare in ''[[Kirby Super Star|{{KSS KFP}}]]'' and [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|its remake]], but still behaves the same as before. Unlike most Copy Ability-providing enemies, it cannot be summoned as a [[Helper]].

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

In ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', they appear in the sub-game [[Kirby on the Draw]], where shooting them makes Kirby lose 50 points.

Bomber can be found in the following places in ''{{KSS KFP}}'' and ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'':

In ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', Bomber remains its appearance from ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. This time, it has only 1 HP, being one of the most fragile enemies in the game.

In ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse|{{KCC KPP}}]]'', besides in the main modes, Bombers also make an appearance in the sub-game [[Paint Panic]], where they chase [[Kirby]]. If one of them comes too close, it blows up, which lowers Kirby's health.

In ''{{KCC KPP}}'', Bomber appears in the following locations:

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 it 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.

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|{{KRtDL KAW}}]]''), and Bomber only appears in [[Kirby Fighters]] the [[Sub-Game]], where it serves as a stage hazard / item. As an item, it sits in place until a Kirby picks it up. After it is thrown, it will wander around until it detonates on its own or is hit by an enemy fighter, creating a big explosion that knocks everyone back for big damage. Bomber does not appear in the single-player mode.

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; [[Jet]]'s Store Power and Hover do 20 damage). 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.

Bomber appears in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' and functions the same as in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''. Despite providing the [[Crash]] ability, it cannot be recruited as a [[Helper|Friend]]. If Kirby tosses a [[Make Friend|Friend Heart]] at it, it will simply turn into the Crash hat which Kirby can then equip.

Bomber appears as a new item ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It walks slowly until interacted with or it reaches a ledge, off of which it will fall. If picked up, Bomber will be triggered to explode in 1.5 seconds, which won't damage the fighter activating it, but will deal huge damage to nearby opponents. Fighters will take less damage by moving away from the center of the explosion.
