| “ | Toss a homing bomb, then watch it get to work! It'll patrol the area until it spots an enemy, then race towards them and explode. Chain bombs together to corner your foes! | ” | — Figure description from Kirby and the Forgotten Land |
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 | - | Bombs will automatically sprout wheels and start wandering the stage until they find an enemy, to which they will chase down until they explode. These bombs can also jump if they come into contact with a wall or the enemy is in the air. |
| Bomb Chain | Place multiple bombs near each other with any other move | Up to 5 bombs can be chained together in this manner. When one explodes, all the others do at the same time. The larger the chain, the larger and longer the explosion lasts and the more damage it deals.
Chained homing bombs will glow different colors depending on how many are grouped together:
