Helmee[1] is an enemy in Kirby Mass Attack. It is a disembodied suit of armor which hovers in the air while carrying a lance. When the Kirbys approach, Helmee will stop above them, then dive onto them with its lance pointed downward. The Kirbys can pummel Helmee and defeat it like any other foe, but after a short while, Helmee will reconstitute, able to attack again. Defeating Helmee for the first time grants the player 300 points.

Game appearancesEdit

Kirby Mass AttackEdit

Helmee makes its debut and only appearance as an enemy in this title. In addition to its role as an enemy, a sole Helmee also appears in the lower path of Volcano Valley - Stage 6 carrying a lantern. This Helmee does not attack the Kirbys, and instead helps them by lighting a series of torches in a dark mansion hallway, so they may avoid the Grueglooms and other dark-lurking monsters.
