Grand Mam is a boss who appears in Kirby Star Allies. She is a giant armored opponent with bombs for gauntlets and a large bow atop her head. Unlike other bosses, she is only fought in Story Mode and is faced exclusively using the Friend Star on Grott Moon.
During Grand Mam's battle, she will attempt to charge the Friend Star and launch her bomb arms into the ground. She can also call on reinforcements to warp into the battlefield, including Sir Kibble, Blade Knight, and Burning Leo (enemies whose abilities are key to defeating this boss). To defeat Grand Mam, the Star Allies must first cut loose one of the bombs while it is out, then light the severed fuse to make it explode on top of her. This done, her armor will be knocked off, leaving her body open to attacks from the Friend Star. After a while, however, Grand Mam's armor will regenerate, and the process will need to be repeated once more.
Trivia
- Grand Mam's internal filename, "Giantironmom", references how she is a giant version of Iron Mam—the Mid-Boss from Kirby Super Star.
- Grand Mam's boss theme is reused from Clash at Castle Dedede.
