Bonkers is a simian-like mid-boss, wielding an enormous hammer which resembles King Dedede's. He made his debut in Kirby's Adventure.

In order to attack, Bonkers may charge at Kirby, jump in the air and swing his hammer, or throw Coconuts at Kirby to deal damage. These Coconuts may be engulfed then shot out to harm him. Once defeated, Bonkers lays on the ground for a bit, like all midbosses, at which point Kirby can inhale him and get Hammer ability. Since Bonkers is the only enemy with a hammer, he is the helper for the hammer ability. He appears in every game with the hammer ability.

Game Appearances

Kirby's Adventure/ Nightmare in Dream Land

File:Adv Bonkers Sprite.png File:Advance Bonkers.png Kirby's Adventure marked the first appearance of Bonkers, and its remake also includes him. In the original, he is seen wearing either orange or blue, and he is only seen wearing purple in the remake.

Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra

In [[Kirby Super Star|Template:KSS KFP]] and Kirby Super Star Ultra, Bonkers is a common mid-boss that appears in Dyna Blade, The Great Cave Offensive, Milky Way Wishes, the Arena, Helper to Hero, and Meta Knightmare Ultra. He is also the helper for the hammer ability.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror & Kirby: Squeak Squad

In both of these games, Bonkers appears as a Mid-Boss, looking and behaving essentially in the same way he did in Nightmare in Dream Land.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land

Bonkers reappears again as a mid-boss in [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Template:KRDL KAW]], appearing in various stages, and offering the Hammer ability. There is a super version of Bonkers called Super Bonkers that yields the Grand Hammer Super Ability.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe & Kirby: Planet Robobot

Bonkers returns again for Kirby: Triple Deluxe as a Mid-Boss that provides the Hammer ability. In addition to his normal move-set, he may also perform a hammer spin that takes him in and out of the foreground. In Kirby: Planet Robobot, Bonkers fights exactly the same way, though he has been given robotic aesthetic changes, such as a metal jaw. In Triple Deluxe, his EX form is called Bonkers DX. In Planet Robobot, this variant is called Bonkers 2.0.

In Triple Deluxe, Bonkers also appears as two separate randomly-obtained Keychains, one represented by his Kirby's Adventure sprite and another by his Kirby Super Star one. In Planet Robobot, Bonkers appears as a Sticker as well, as 'Manga Bonkers'.

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe

Bonkers is encountered three times in this spin-off title. He's been made even larger, and his spinning moves made more elaborate to pose a challenge to four Kirby heroes working in unison.

Kirby: Battle Royale

Bonkers himself does not appear in this game, but a large robot modeled after him called Robo Bonkers can be battled as one of the 10 main stadium modes.

Kirby Star Allies

Bonkers returns in this title, reprising his role as a Mid-Boss. Once defeated, he can be recruited as a Friend by tossing a heart at him before his body explodes. As a Friend, Bonkers can use all the same moves as Hammer Kirby, and can also infuse his hammer with various elements.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Bonkers appears as a trophy and as a sticker. As a sticker, it can be used in The Subspace Emissary, to grant +16 to weapon attacks. It only benefits Kirby, Meta Knight, and King Dedede.

DS Kirby: Squeak Squad (American English) Kirby: Mouse Attack (British English)
A large enemy who wields a giant hammer as a weapon. Bonkers battles you with several moves—his hammer attack and coconut throw could be considered his specialities. Kirby can inhale Bonkers to learn Hammer and Smash techniques.* Not many know this, but Hammer Kirby can also break walls and pound down stakes.

*= Kirby can't actually inhale Bonkers to get the Smash ability as it only gives him the Hammer ability. Kirby can only inhale Master Hand to get the previous ability.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

Bonkers makes an appearance as an enemy in the 3DS-exclusive mode Smash Run.
