Metal Guardian

Metal Guardian is an enemy that debuted in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror. It appears infrequently, and is essentially a large version of Laser Ball, very much how Heavy Knight is a large version of Sword Knight and how Giant Rocky is a large version of Rocky. Like all giant versions, it requires full power suction to defeat, and it has significantly more HP than normal enemies. When first encountered, it is resting. When Kirby approaches it, it opens and start floating in circles. Then, it can attack Kirby by first charging, then shooting three laser beams or one powerful one. It provides the Laser ability when swallowed.
In Kirby: Planet Robobot, Metal Guardian appears again, receiving a significant design change, and now providing the Spark ability. Here, it stays in place, and occasionally opens up to shoot beams at Kirby. It cannot be harmed unless its turrets are exposed.
