'''Homing Bomb''' is an [[Evolved Copy Ability]] based on [[Bomb]] that appears in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. When [[Kirby]] throws a bomb that lands on the floor or even the water surface, it will gain wheels (plus a swimming ring if on water) and start moving in the direction it was thrown. If the bomb gets close to an enemy, it will lock on to it and start moving towards it, exploding afterwards. Similar to the Chain Bomb, these homing bombs can also be linked together.

Homing Bomb is an Evolved Copy Ability based on Bomb that appears in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. When Kirby throws a bomb that lands on the floor or even the surface of water, it will gain wheels (plus a swimming ring if on water) and start moving in the direction it was thrown. If the bomb gets close to an enemy, it will lock on to it and start moving towards it, exploding afterwards. Similar to the Chain Bomb, these homing bombs can also be linked together. Kirby's hat becomes black with pink signal wave patterns, a microphone, and an antenna, while the bombs are pink with a blue front and a black antenna that has a green spark on the top.

The blueprint for Homing Bomb can be found in the stage An Unexpected Beast King, and is rewarded for defeating King Dedede. Homing Bomb is required to play the Treasure Road stage Seek the Switches! Homing Bomb Hunt.

Weapons-Shop Waddle Dee:
The Homing Bomb ability's attack power will increase when bombs gather near each other to form a chain. Bigger, longer chains mean bigger, badder booms!
