'''Poppy Bros. Jr.''', also spelt '''Poppy Bros Jr.''' (singular: '''Poppy Bro Jr.'''<ref>''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' provides "Poppy Bro Jr." as the in-game name for the helper version; other games have always used the plural.</ref>) is a commonly-reoccurring enemy in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], first appearing in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. He is a small humanoid figure who wears a clown suit with a cap similar to that of [[Sword]] Kirby's, though Poppy Bros. Jr.'s outfit is usually a pale blue in col{{o}}r.  
'''Poppy Bros. Jr.''' is a commonly reoccurring [[enemy]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], first appearing in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. He is a small humanoid figure who wears a clown suit with a cap similar to that of [[Sword]] Kirby's, though Poppy Bros. Jr.'s outfit is usually a pale blue in color.  


Poppy Bros. Jr.'s role throughout the series has varied greatly throughout the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. In his oldest appearances, he provided no [[Copy Ability]] and was typically seen riding on [[Grizzo]]s or balancing on [[Apple]]s and [[Maxim Tomato]]es. Starting with ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' (and perhaps following in the footsteps of his older relative, [[Poppy Bros. Sr.]]), Poppy Bros. Jr. could be seen tossing bombs, and providing the [[Bomb]] ability when swallowed. This game also had Poppy Bros. Jr. throw boomerangs, with this case resulting in Kirby gaining the [[Cutter]] ability from him instead. In ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' and every subsequent 3-D ''Kirby'' game, Poppy Bros. Jr. consistently provides the Bomb ability, having become the [[Helper|mascot]] for said ability ever since.

The bombs can also roll down slopes. He once again provides the Bomb ability and has his own [[figure]] (though it lacks a description).

— Guest Star Poppy Bros. Jr. Bombs Away! Pause Screen description in Kirby Star Allies

Poppy Bros. Jr. is a commonly reoccurring enemy in the Kirby series, first appearing in Kirby's Dream Land. He is a small humanoid figure who wears a clown suit with a cap similar to that of Sword Kirby's, though Poppy Bros. Jr.'s outfit is usually a pale blue in color.

Poppy Bros. Jr.'s role has varied greatly throughout the Kirby series. In his oldest appearances, he provided no Copy Ability and was typically seen riding on Grizzos or balancing on apples and Maxim Tomatoes. Starting with Kirby Super Star (and perhaps following in the footsteps of his older relative, Poppy Bros. Sr.), Poppy Bros. Jr. could be seen tossing bombs, and providing the Bomb ability when swallowed. This game also had Poppy Bros. Jr. throw boomerangs, with this case resulting in Kirby gaining the Cutter ability from him instead. In Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards and every subsequent 3D Kirby game, Poppy Bros. Jr. consistently provides the Bomb ability, having become the mascot for said ability ever since.

Jr. can be called as a helper, gaining the moveset of Bomb Kirby and an Infinity Jump. In the Kirby Super Star Ultra-exclusive mode Revenge of the King, Poppy Bros. Jr. is replaced by a similar enemy called Perot.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Poppy Bros. Jr. has his own trophy:

Name Image Appears In/Related Games Description
Poppy Bros. Jr. SSBWU Poppy Bros Jr Trophy.png Game Boy Kirby's Dream Land (08/1992)
NES Kirby's Adventure (05/1993)
"Sometimes riding on Grizzos, other times balancing on apples or Maxim Tomatoes, this little clown clearly has some skills. Unfortunately, his job isn't to make people laugh—it's to get in Kirby's way. As you might expect from the "Jr." in his name, there's also a Poppy Bros. Sr., and he's a slightly bigger nuisance."

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

Poppy Bros. Jr. appears as a primary spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The spirit can be obtained by battling it through World of Light, the Spirit Board, or by purchasing it from the Shop. It has level 1 stats of 544 attack and 362 defense, with level 99 stats of 2,721 attack and 1,814 defense. It is ★, attack-type, and possesses one spirit slot. Poppy Bros. Jr.'s spirit battle pits the player against two Young Links on the Yoshi's Island stage who favor using their down special moves in the air and have increased power with that move. Bob-ombs are the only items that can appear during this battle.

In Kirby: Right Back at Ya![edit]

Poppy Bros. Jr. in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!.

Poppy Bros. Jr. makes a tiny cameo appearance as a monster in the Kirby: Right Back at Ya! episode Cowardly Creature. He is shown briefly training as part of the "Young Monsters of the Future" program run by monster clowns, using a pair of roller skates.

In the Kirby novel series[edit]

Poppy Bros. Jr., as he appears in Kirby: Big Race in Pupupu Land!

In the Kirby novel series, Poppy Bros. Jr. appears in Kirby: Big Race in Pupupu Land! as one of the race's many contestants. He is always grouped with the other racers, and never stands out. The only time he is mentioned by the text is when the contestants encounter Peperon in the forest. Poppy Bros. Jr. turns pale and asks why such a monstrous creature is in Dream Land.

Trivia[edit]

Poppy Bros Jr alternate color KSSU.png
Poppy Bros. Jr. in Helper to Hero.
  • Poppy Bros. Jr.'s alternative coloration in Kirby Super Star Ultra's Helper to Hero game is a pink suit and hat; this may be a nod to his classic design as used in non-game artwork for Kirby's Dream Land, atop Grizzo.
  • Poppy Bros. Jr. initially had different eyes, which resembled black dots with wedges in the middle like a more classic cartoon. In newer titles, his eyes look more like Kirby's, though they are slightly wider.
  • While Poppy Bros. Jr. serves as the tutorial to use Friend Hearts and create Friends in Kirby Star Allies, he is not actually the first Friend Kirby can make in the game. If Kirby obtains the Sword Copy Ability by swallowing the Blade Knight present in the room before the tutorial, and an input is made on a second controller, Kirby will create a befriended Blade Knight before being given the option to throw Friend Hearts.
