“ | A Super Ability helped you enter this strange space, and a Sphere Doomer has flown in from a different dimension as well! It won't let you steal the energy of the spheres...so brace for an attack! | ” | — VS Sphere Doomer description from Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe |
Sphere Doomers are a collection of mid-bosses first appearing in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. They are creatures from Another Dimension that are attracted to Energy Spheres. Kirby must locate Sphere Doomers by using Super Abilities to find holes in reality, which lead him to pockets of their home dimension. Kirby must then proceed through an obstacle course with a moving rift wall before he can encounter the feathered enemies.
Sphere Doomers always yield Kirby two Energy Spheres upon defeat, except for the purple and red pair fought in Dangerous Dinner - Stage 3, who yield one each, and the doomers faced in The Arena and The True Arena, who do not yield any.
Types
Regular Form
“ | Why does this dimension suddenly feel so dark and murky? Is it because you entered from Halcandra? There are a lot more Doomers here too...and some are even pairing up and working as a team! | ” | — VS Sphere Doomers Special Page from Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe |
There are four various color-types of Sphere Doomers, encountered at different points of the game.
- Purple Sphere Doomers have no special characteristics and are relatively easy to defeat. They are encountered in Cookie Country and Dangerous Dinner - Stage 3.
- Red Sphere Doomers use fiery charge attacks and shoot projectiles that leave small flames behind. They are encountered in Raisin Ruins, Onion Ocean and Dangerous Dinner - Stage 3.
- Green Sphere Doomers shoot projectiles that detonate into bursts of electricity. They are encountered in White Wafers and Nutty Noon.
- Silver Sphere Doomers can shoot freezing projectiles and use a close-range ice burst attack. They are encountered in Egg Engines and the first two stages of Dangerous Dinner.
The following lists all of the Sphere Doomers' attacks in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Color-coded names correspond to attacks only specific Sphere Doomers can utilize. Attack names are taken from official Japanese strategy guides unless otherwise stated.
Sphere Doomers' attacks in Kirby's Return to Dream Land | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Attack | Description | Variants | Notes | |
グライド体当たり Glide Attack |
A Sphere Doomer charges up, then dives across the stage, dealing damage if it hits Kirby. | They can swoop in from above, down low to the ground or attack from the background. | ||
エナジー弾 Energy Bullet |
After a brief charge-up, the Sphere Doomer fires energy orbs out of their mouths. | These orbs can be fired in a multitude of different ways, either in the foreground or in the background. | The red, green and silver orbs can be swallowed to gain the Fire, Spark and Ice abilities. | |
バーニングアタック Burning Attack |
The red Sphere Doomer starts rolling as it engulfs itself in flame while locking on to Kirby's current vertical position. After a long pause, it flies across the stage. | |||
落雷攻撃 Electric Shock |
The green Sphere Doomer charges up for a few seconds and then moves from one side of the arena to the other while periodically shooting lightning bolts above and below it every few seconds. | |||
アイスクラッシュ Ice Crush |
The silver Sphere Doomer starts charging up while slowly drifting towards a given target. It then releases a series of three icy bursts around itself. |
In The Arena and The True Arena, all four of them are fought in one battle, but they don't yield any Energy Spheres. They are fought in the following order:
- Green
- Purple & Red
- Silver
EX Form
“ | The portal into this different dimension was opened by a Super Ability. With this space closing as time passes, one single spot holding the spheres now remains...along with a Doomer circling above! | ” | — VS Sphere Doomer EX Special Page in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe |
“ | Halcandra stands alone, only reachable by passing through other dimensions... The Doomers, long ago, had a different form and could warp space and time... Is that why they seek the spheres? | ” | — VS Sphere Doomers EX Special Page in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe |
In Extra Mode and The True Arena, Sphere Doomers appear in their EX form. Their appearances are modified slightly, as they now have one eye as opposed to two, and the feathers on their head are changed to a large horn. They also gain new attacks and can fire more projectiles at once.
Sphere Doomers' attacks in the Extra Mode of Kirby's Return to Dream Land | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Attack | Description | Variants | Notes | |
グライド体当たり Glide Attack |
A Sphere Doomer charges up, then dives across the stage, dealing damage if it hits Kirby. | They can swoop in from above, down low to the ground or attack from the background. The purple Sphere Doomer's background glide has it zig-zag while swooping. | ||
エナジー弾 Energy Bullet |
After a brief charge-up, the Sphere Doomer fires energy orbs out of their mouths. | These orbs can be fired in a multitude of different ways, either in the foreground or in the background. Certain orbs will not immediately disappear upon hitting the ground and after a few seconds will either disappear (purple), burst into flames (red), shoot electric bolts into the air (green) or leave behind damaging ice (silver). | The red, green and silver orbs can be swallowed to gain the Fire, Spark and Ice abilities. | |
ミニブラックホール Mini Black Hole |
After a brief charge-up, the Sphere Doomer creates a small vortex at its location, which lingers for a short time and pulls Kirby and friends towards it. Contact with the center of the black hole deals damage. | |||
バーニングアタック&セカンドアタック Burning Attack & Second Attack |
The red Sphere Doomer starts rolling as it engulfs itself in flame while locking on to Kirby's current vertical position. After a long pause, it flies halfway across the stage, stops, repositions to Kirby's current vertical position and then charges again. | |||
旋回電撃アタック Swirling Electric Shock Attack |
The green Sphere Doomer charges up for a few seconds and then moves from one side of the arena to the other while rotating a wave of electric orbs around itself, either clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on which side of the arena it's at by the time the attack starts. | |||
Electric Drop[conjectural title] | The green Sphere Doomer, at the center of the arena, summons four energy orbs, two on both sides of it. After a brief delay, the orbs dissipate, sending a blast of lightning down from above. | |||
アイスクラッシュフォーリング Ice Crush Falling |
The silver Sphere Doomer teleports above a given target, charges up while slowly falling and then releasing an icy burst around itself upon hitting the ground. After doing this twice in a row, it teleports to the center of the arena, charges up and releases another icy burst alongside four ice shards firing in the diagonal directions at the same time. | |||
画面反転 Screen Flip |
The silver Sphere Doomer charges up and then flips the screen upside-down for the next three attacks it performs. Once done, it then flips the screen right-side up. | This attack is reminiscent of a similar one Dark Mind could use in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. |
Holo-Doomer
- Main article: Holo Defense API
Two Sphere Doomers, one purple and one red, appear as holograms known as Holo-Doomers in Kirby: Planet Robobot, projected by the Holo Defense API. They attack in the same way as the Dangerous Dinner - Stage 3 pair. For Holo Defense API 2.0, the Holo-Doomers take their EX form.

- Purple Sphere Doomers have 2 tail feathers.
- Red Sphere Doomers have 3 tail feathers.
- Green Sphere Doomers have 4 tail feathers.
- Silver Sphere Doomers and Rampaging Doomers have 5 tail feathers.
