'''Bonkers''' is a simian-like [[Mid-Boss]], wielding an enormous hammer which resembles [[King Dedede]]'s. He | '''Bonkers''' is a simian-like [[Mid-Boss]], wielding an enormous hammer which resembles [[King Dedede]]'s. He made his first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. In order to attack, Bonkers may charge at [[Kirby]], jump in the air and swing his hammer, or throw [[Coconut]]s at Kirby to deal damage. These Coconuts may be inhaled then shot out to harm him. Once defeated, Bonkers lays on the ground for a bit, like all mid-bosses, at which point Kirby can inhale him and get the [[Hammer]] ability. Since Bonkers was the only enemy with a hammer prior to ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', he is the [[helper]] for the Hammer ability. He appears in every game with the Hammer ability, and has had many spin-offs and variations. | ||
His name is a pun on "bonkers", a slang term for "crazy", describing to his behavior, and the verb "bonk", referring to the hammer he holds. | |||
==Physical appearance== | |||
Bonkers is characterized as a large-bodied bipedal anthropomorphic gorilla, though still noticeably hunched over in posture. He has the look of a stereotypical "[[wikipedia:greaser (subculture)|greaser]]"; he wears denim jeans and a belt, and he has a "coat" of what appears to be purple body hair around his upper body and head, which is stylized to resemble a heavy vest and a pompadour hairstyle. His brow extends as to obscure his eyes, rendering them unseen behind a black veil (though some artwork portrays him with dot eyes). | |||
Bonkers' arms are proportioned cartoonishly, with overly large forearms compared to the upper arm width. His hands and feet are well-defined, with five digits on each, unlike characters like [[Kirby]] who have no visible fingers or toes. His ears are often pointed like those of an [[wikipedia:Elf|elf]], but this is not a consistent feature of his. Additionally, in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, Bonkers' feet are colored differently than his skin, resembling shoes; this is not the case in any of his other appearances. | |||
