— 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 colTemplate:Or.

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.

Game appearances

Kirby's Dream Land

KDL Poppy Bros Jr sprite.png Poppy Bros. Jr. first appeared in this title. His main job is to ride on apples and Grizzos, though he can be seen on his own. He is worth 400 points when defeated.

Kirby's Adventure/Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

Poppy Bros. Jr. appears in this title and its remake, and can be seen balancing on Maxim Tomatoes as well as apples. In order to obtain the tomato, Kirby must inhale Poppy Bros. Jr. to get him off of it. Attempting to attack him with any other method will destroy the tomato. He provides no ability if swallowed.

Kirby's Pinball Land

Poppy Bros. Jr. (known here as Junior Poppy Brothers[1]) makes several appearances on the Poppy Brothers' Land series of boards. In the middle board, two of them can be found hiding in holes, and leaving bombs behind. They are worth 250 points when hit here, and their bombs are worth 360 points. On the uppermost floor, three of them can be found emerging from doorways and heading toward unhatched Crack-Tweets. If they get to the eggs, they will kick them causing them to reset, but Kirby can knock them away for 500 points.

Template:KSS KFP / Kirby Super Star Ultra

Template:KSS KFP was the first game in the series to give Poppy Bros. Jr. weapons to use against Kirby. He can be seen with either a bomb or a boomerang, providing the Bomb ability in the former case and the Cutter ability in the latter. Despite these weapons, Poppy Bros. Jr. can also be found in more traditional roles, with no weapon or balancing on an apple. Poppy Bros. Jr. can also come in many different tunic colTemplate:Ors. Poppy Bros. Jr. can be called as a helper, gaining the move-set of Bomb Kirby and an Infinity Jump. In Revenge of the King, Poppy Bros. Jr. is replaced by a similar enemy called Perot.

In Kirby Super Star Ultra, Poppy Bros. Jr. is known as Poppy Bro Jr. and also appears as one of the selectable characters in Helper to Hero.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U trophy description

"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."

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.
