Bomber
| ||||||||||||||
|
Bombers are semi-rare enemies that appear throughout the Kirby series, making their first appearance in Kirby's Adventure. It 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 ability when swallowed.
Game Appearances
Kirby's Adventure/Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Bomber debuted in this game. Here is where its general attack pattern was first established.
Kirby Super Star (Ultra)
Bomber is fairly rare in this installment, but still behaves the same as before. Unlike most Copy Ability-providing enemies, it cannot be summoned as a Helper.
In Kirby Super Star Ultra, they appear in the sub-game Kirby on the Draw, where shooting them makes Kirby lose 50 points.
Kirby: Canvas Curse
In Canvas Curse, however, they also makes 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.
Kirby: Triple Deluxe
Bomber appears again in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. However, it only appears in the Kirby Fighters Sub-Game, where it serves as a stage hazard.
Kirby: Planet Robobot
Bomber makes an appearance in this game, at last appearing in the main Story mode. It acts much the same as it always has, and still provides the Crash ability.
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
Bomber appears as a collectible trophy.

Bomber | If you think a bit of mystery is the spice of life, you'll be disappointed here. If it looks like a bomb and explodes like a bomb...it's a bomb! A cute bomb, though, I admit. If he falls or bumps into something, he'll explode. With the right timing, you can throw him at enemies and do loads of damage! | If you think mystery is the spice of life, you'll be disappointed here. This guy looks like a bomb and explodes like a bomb because...he IS a bomb. Most bombs don't bumble around so cutely, though. If he falls or bumps into something, he'll explode. But if your timing's good, you can throw him at enemies and do loads of damage! |
