Bugzzy is a Mid-Boss in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Adventure, where he gives out the Backdrop ability. He later returns in Kirby Super Star, this time yielding the Suplex ability and also acting as its helper. Bugzzy also appears in both games' remakes, Nightmare in Dream Land and Kirby Super Star Ultra, as well as being fought in Kirby's Avalanche.
Bugzzy also appears in Kirby Star Allies, where he can be recruited as a Friend after being defeated. Here again he represents the Suplex ability, and can perform Friend Throw.
Game Appearances
Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra
Bugzzy appears as a Mid-Boss in Kirby Super Star and its Nintendo DS remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra. He is often fought in cave areas, and attacks by stomping and using suplex moves. When inhaled after being defeated, Bugzzy grants the Suplex Copy Ability. Bugzzy also appears as the Helper representing said ability.
Bugzzy is fought in Cocoa Cave during Dyna Blade, in the Garden in The Great Cave Offensive, and again in Chapter 6 of Revenge of Meta Knight. He appears on three planets during Milky Way Wishes, those being Hotbeat, Cavius, and Mekkai. Bugzzy reprises all these roles in Meta Knightmare Ultra. In The Arena, consecutive fights against Bugzzy, Bonkers, and Chef Kawasaki make up the Mid-Boss All Stars 1 battle. Bugzzy is one of the playable Helpers in Helper to Hero. He is pictured on a card in Kirby Card Swipe.
Bugzzy's Attacks in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra | |
---|---|
Attack | Description |
Stomp | Bugzzy leaps into the air and stomps the ground, creating a Recoil Star in the direction he is facing. Alternatively, Bugzzy jumps three times in a row and does not create Recoil Stars. |
Ladybugs | Bugzzy creates two smaller bugs, which fly up and down in the direction Bugzzy is facing while he makes them. |
Glide | Bugzzy jumps into the air and slowly glides towards Kirby, then lands. |
Charge | Bugzzy charges towards Kirby. If Kirby is grabbed, Bugzzy does a suplex slam, dealing damage to Kirby. |
Appearance
The appearance of Bugzzy is similar to that of a beetle, but he stands up, and has arms and different legs. Bugzzy somewhat resembles and acts like the Pokémon Heracross.
In battle, Bugzzy can shoot ladybugs. He can also stomp on Kirby, and toss him around. He will typically attack by either charging straight forward or jumping on Kirby from above. In Kirby Star Allies, he is also capable of lunging from the air. In games before Kirby Star Allies, Bugzzy does not drop Recoil Stars when he attacks, meaning that only his ladybugs can be used against him.

“ | Allow me to introduce our swords-model extraordinaire! The big beetle--Bugzzy! | ” | — N.M.E. Sales Guy in the episode Kirby's Duel Role |
In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, Bugzzy appears in episode 3, Kirby's Duel Role, as a monster ordered by King Dedede. Unlike the games, he towers over Kirby and also attacks with hand-held weapons, like a sword and notched club. Kirby defeats this version of Bugzzy by inhaling his sword to gain the Sword ability, then slicing him in two down the middle.
