[[File:KDL Poppy Bros Sr sprite.png]] Poppy Bros. Sr. first appears in ''Kirby's Dream Land'', as the mid-boss in [[Green Greens]]. He jumps around mainly in one place, periodically throwing singular bombs at [[Kirby]]. On rare instances, he gradually increases the range of his jumps until he reaches the other side of the screen, but always returns to his initial position afterwards. To defeat him, Kirby has to inhale his bombs and spit them back at him three times. In the [[Extra Game]], Poppy Bros. Sr. is able to throw three bombs at a faster rate than normal, and execute an unpredictable dashing attack.

Here, he acts mainly the same as he did in his first appearance. However, he is much more likely to perform larger jumps, and if he manages to jump over Kirby, will continue to attack him from the opposite side. To defeat him, Kirby has to spit his bombs back at him or use a [[Copy Ability]]. In addition, Poppy Bros. Sr.'s own bombs may hurt him if they explode near him. Inhaling and swallowing Poppy Bros.

Although Poppy Bros. Sr. is encountered many times throughout the game (Kirby sometimes having to fight two of them at once) Poppy Bros. Sr. is one of the only three Mid-Bosses in the game to not be fought in any of the [[Arena]]s, likely due to yielding a limited use ability.

Kirby's Dream Land[edit]

KDL Poppy Bros Sr sprite.png Poppy Bros. Sr. first appears in Kirby's Dream Land, as the mid-boss in Green Greens. He jumps around mainly in one place, periodically throwing singular bombs at Kirby. On rare instances, he gradually increases the range of his jumps until he reaches the other side of the screen, but always returns to his initial position afterwards. To defeat him, Kirby has to inhale his bombs and spit them back at him three times. In the Extra Game, Poppy Bros. Sr. is able to throw three bombs at a faster rate than normal, and execute an unpredictable dashing attack.

Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[edit]

KA Poppy Bros Sr sprite.png KNiDL Poppy Bros Sr sprite.png Poppy Bros. Sr. reappears in Kirby's Adventure and its remake, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. Here, he acts mainly the same as he did in his first appearance. However, he is much more likely to perform larger jumps, and if he manages to jump over Kirby, will continue to attack him from the opposite side. To defeat him, Kirby has to spit his bombs back at him or use a Copy Ability. In addition, Poppy Bros. Sr.'s own bombs may hurt him if they explode near him. Inhaling and swallowing Poppy Bros. Sr. after defeating him grants Kirby the Crash Copy Ability.

Although Poppy Bros. Sr. is encountered many times throughout the game (Kirby sometimes having to fight two of them at once) Poppy Bros. Sr. is one of the only three Mid-Bosses in the game to not be fought in any of the Arenas, likely due to giving the player a one-use Copy Ability.
