“ | “BOOM! I love that sound!” It’s the guy with the eternal grin! He’s off on an explosive adventure, but all he really wants to do is bring a little fun and fireworks into people’s lives. |
” | — 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.

Kirby Star Allies
Poppy Bros. Jr. gains his biggest role in Kirby Star Allies, as well as a re-design. He acts as the tutorial for befriending foes, appearing in the cut-scene as the first enemy Kirby is forced to charm using the Friend Heart. As an ally, Poppy Bros. Jr. has all of the same moves as Bomb Kirby, an Infinity Jump, and the ability to receive a Power Effect. When taking advantage of glitches, Poppy Bros. Jr. is among the most formidable characters to use for speedruns of The Ultimate Choice.
Poppy Bros. Jr. also has a slot in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!, with his adventure given the name 'Guest Star Poppy Bros. Jr. Bombs Away!'.
Locations
In Kirby Star Allies, Poppy Bros. Jr. can be found in the following levels and stages:
Kirby and the Forgotten Land
Poppy Bros. Jr. returns as an enemy in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Unlike past games, his bombs take on a different appearance, now black with red symbols (the symbols match the boss icon used in Super Kirby Clash and Kirby Fighters 2). The bombs can also roll down slopes. He once again provides the Bomb ability and has his own figure (though it lacks a description).
Locations
In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Poppy Bros. Jr. appears in the following stages:
Kirby's Dream Buffet
Poppy Bros. Jr. does not appear directly in Kirby's Dream Buffet, but his likeness can be seen on two Character Treats: the first has him depicted alongside Kirby and a Chick for the "Kirby's Pinball Land (1)" treat, and the other depicts his artwork as a friend with the Bluster Bomb ability from Kirby Star Allies.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U trophy information
In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

Trivia
- Poppy Bros. Jr.'s alternative coloration in Kirby Super Star Ultra's Helper To Hero game is a purple suit and hat.
- Poppy Bros. Jr.'s bomb (in hand) blows up in 5 seconds unless thrown.
- 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 has to 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 the player is given the power to throw Friend Hearts.
