In Kirby's Adventure, and its remake, Nightmare in Dream Land, Paint Roller is the boss of Ice Cream Island.

Paint Roller is battled in a two-floored room. The upper floor is divided into two platforms, and has a gap that Paint Roller and Kirby can go through. There are four painter canvases, each located at one of the room's corners. In Nightmare in Dream Land, the room is slightly larger and the scenery was altered, sports a rainbow.

During the battle, Paint Roller sprints to a canvas and paints an image that comes to life. The object begins to chase Kirby. Paint Roller moves on to the next canvas. Paint Roller randomly decides on a canvas and painting every time. The canvases that Paint Roller draws on during his battle are chosen at random.

To attack Paint Roller, Kirby can inhale the object, obtain its Copy Ability, and attack Paint Roller with it. Alternatively, Kirby can spit the object back out at Paint Roller. Without the assistance of a Copy Ability, Kirby must hit Paint Roller six times to defeat him. After Paint Roller is defeated, Kirby can obtain the next Star Rod piece.

Paint Roller may paint one of eight images. Each one provides a Copy Ability except for the Waddle Dee and Kirby duplicate:

  • Waddle Dee: Runs in Kirby's direction. Like its real counterpart, it does not give an ability if it is swallowed.
  • Cloud: Floats around the stage, and shoots lightning. It gives Spark ability if swallowed.
  • Car: Drives at a high speed, trying to crash into Kirby. It gives Wheel ability if swallowed.
  • Baseball: Flies directly at Kirby. It gives Ball ability if swallowed.
  • Painted Parasol: Follows Kirby, and then explodes. It gives Parasol ability if swallowed.
  • Bomb: Explodes after a fixed amount of time. It gives Crash ability if swallowed, which can immediately defeat Paint Roller.
  • Microphone: A microphone that walks around. It gives Mike ability if swallowed.
  • Kirby: Sometimes, Paint Roller will paint a duplicate of Kirby. It acts the same as a Waddle Dee, and does not give an ability.

Template:KA KGT

Paint Roller makes his next appearance in [[Kirby's Avalanche|Template:KA KGT]], which portrays him, again, as a boss. Before his battle, Paint Roller offers to paint Kirby "a lovely portrait... ...of [him] losing to [Paint Roller]" and then laughs. It is revealed that Paint Roller is an art student, indicated by Kirby's dialogue with him ("Paint Roller, you are the meanest art student I've ever met!"). His name appears as "PAIN" while facing Kirby.

Dialogue

  • Paint Roller: "Let me draw a lovely portrait..."
  • Kirby: "Aw, how sweet..."
  • Paint Roller: "Of you losing to me!"
  • Kirby: "Paint Roller, you are the meanest art student I've ever met!"
  • Paint Roller: "Student? Ha! I am the MASTER!"

Template:KCC KPP

Appearing in [[Kirby: Canvas Curse|Template:KCC KPP]], Paint Roller is a boss during the mini-game Paint Panic. He paints outlines of objects, which Kirby must redraw in a connect-the-dots fashion. If Kirby is too slow, however, the Bombers that follow him catch up with him and explode. If Kirby reaches the end, he must activate a self-destruct code, defeating Paint Roller.

This is our friend Paint Roller! You'll find he's pretty handy with the paintbrush!
— N.M.E. Sales Guy, in Dedede's Monsterpiece

Paint Roller appears as one of Night Mare Enterprises' monsters in the Kirby: Right Back at Ya! episode Dedede's Monsterpiece, where he vandalizes various famous paintings displayed in the Royal Acadddemy of Arts on King Dedede's orders to make them "more his style". After remembering that the paintings were supposed to be returned intact, King Dedede stops Paint Roller and has him paint a portrait of Dedede instead. However, this portrait ends up coming to life and antagonizing King Dedede and the other museum guests before Meta Knight shows up to destroy it with a burning torch.

As this is happening, Paint Roller starts painting a giant bomb threatening to blow everyone up. Kirby is sent to stop him, and ends up inhaling Paint Roller's paintbrush to gain the Paint Copy Ability. Using this ability, Kirby tries to chase Paint Roller down and avoids more of his attacks using painted objects. Eventually, Kirby paints a rocket and points it at Paint Roller, blowing the monster up along with the museum.
