Burning Leo, originally named Burnin' Leo, is an enemy in the Kirby series, who debuts in [[Template:KSS KFP]]. He grants Kirby the Fire ability if swallowed.

Appearance

Burning Leo's physical appearance is similar to that of Kirby's. He has salmon-pink skin, dark eyes (he has blue eyes as of Kirby Star Allies) dark-colored shoes and a dark-colored headband with many flames coming out of it, resembling hair. The headband also has a circular red gem on the middle. His mouth only appears when he exhales fire.

As a Helper in [[Template:KSS KFP]] and Kirby Super Star Ultra, his skin becomes blue and his headband and shoes, green. In Kirby Star Allies, Burning Leo can appear in four different colTemplate:Ors (normal, yellow, blue, green) depending on which player slot he is occupying.

In Kirby Super Star Ultra, a green-colored Burning Leo with purple shoes is a playable character in Helper to Hero along with the other helpers.

Game Appearances

Template:KSS KFP / Kirby Super Star Ultra

Burning Leos are regular enemies in [[Template:KSS KFP]] and Kirby Super Star Ultra. They can be found in stages walking back and forth, and attack in a similar manner to Hot Heads by attempting to shoot fireballs or breathing fire cones at Kirby if he gets close. Burning Leo also serves as the helper for the Fire Ability, gaining access to Fire Kirby's move-set, and also gaining access to the Infinity Jump. Unlike Fire Kirby, Burning Leo as a helper can breathe fire underwater, which is needed for a particular Cannon puzzle in the Old Tower region of The Great Cave Offensive.

Burning Leo returns after a long absence in Kirby Star Allies, appearing for the first time in 3D. He acts the same as in the previous games, and is recruitable as a Friend. Additionally, he can mix his own ability with others to create Friend Abilities.

Just like in Template:KSS KFP, Burning Leo can breathe fire even while underwater.

Special Abilities

Burning Leo has many special abilities. His most notable one is exhaling blasts of Fire from his mouth. In every game since Template:KSS KFP, Burning Leo, as a helper, has the same moveset as Fire Kirby.

Trivia

  • Burning Leo is one of the few friends in Kirby Star Allies that doesn't wear a Kirby-styled hat. This is because Burning Leo's mane is already essentially the same as Kirby's Fire hat. He does, however, gain the Fire hat's spiraling golden headband and blue gem.
