Ah HA!! I have found my next victim!!

— Bronto Burt in Kirby's Avalanche

Bronto Burt, originally named Bront Burt, is a generally reoccurring enemy that is quite common to the many stages and realms of many Kirby games. Throughout their appearances, their behavior have stayed relatively unchanged. Bronto Burts are often found in sky-themed levels, but they can occur anywhere. They attack generally by colliding into Kirby, although their attack patterns vary. Some fly in a set wavy pattern, others follow Kirby, and others appear by diving and looping before flying in a set pattern.

Bronto Burts can be described as being small and round with two pairs of semi-transparent, insect-like wings, tiny orange feet, large eyes with long eyebrows, and a small mouth. In later appearances, they have blush marks similar to Kirby's. The Bronto Burts in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards differ slightly from their usual appearances, having one pair of wings, much thicker eyebrows, darker pupils, and no mouths. Bronto Burts also share color variants, as seen in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, although they are only aesthetic. These color variants are not as common as the pink variation.

According to its Brawl trophy, it does not serve Dedede, and it divebombs from time to time, hurting Kirby only because he is in the way. Bronto Burt is among the most ubiquitous enemies in the Kirby series, appearing in every game except for Kirby's Star Stacker and its SNES port, and the Team Kirby Clash games.

Game Appearances

Kirby's Dream Land

Bronto Burts in Kirby's Dream Land

Bronto Burts make their first appearance in Kirby's Dream Land. In this game, they are a relatively common airborne enemy. Their attack patterns involve flying in the air, falling and looping, following Kirby, or jumping followed by flying straight. With all enemies in this game, they can be defeated in one hit or by getting inhaled. If they are defeated, they give Kirby 400 points. Twizzy enemies act in a similar manner as Bronto Burts.

Koozers replace Bronto Burts in the Extra Game.

Kirby's Adventure/Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

Bronto Burts reappear in Kirby's Adventure and its remake. They behave very similarly. Bronto Burts are normal enemies in this game. They are also relatively common.

Kirby's Pinball Land

Bronto Burt appears in the Kracko Land stage. It can occasionally be made to appear and fly across the board after bumping into Cloudy. Bumping into Bronto Burt defeats it and is worth 3600 points.

Kirby's Dream Course

Bronto Burt carrying Kirby back onto the board in Kirby's Dream Course.

In Kirby's Dream Course, Bronto Burt does not appear as a regular enemy. Instead, he has the role of returning Kirby or Keeby to the course if they overshoot and go OB, carrying them to the place they were before making the foolish shot. This role is similar to the one that Angie performs in Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn.

During night-time (triggered by the Night Switch), Flapper performs this role instead.

Kirby's Avalanche

A full time bully who needs to be taught a lesson or two. Luckily, he is not a good Avalanche player.

— Kirby's Avalanche Instruction Booklet (North American print), page 21

A Bronto Burt appears as Kirby's second rival in Kirby's Avalanche, after Waddle Dee in the main game. Bronto Burt can be fought only in the Easy mode of this game.

Kirby's Block Ball

Bronto Burts appear as common enemies in Kirby's Block Ball, worth 300 points on defeat. They tend to drop food items worth additional points.

Kirby Super Star/Kirby Super Star Ultra

Bronto Burts appear again in Kirby Super Star and its remake as a common airborne enemy. They have low HP compared to most enemies in the game, which makes them easier to defeat. They give Kirby 300 points when they are defeated. They appear in all main game modes. In the remake, Bronto Burts appear as one of the various Kirby enemies in the sub-game Kirby on the Draw. In Kirby Card Swipe Bronto Burts are one of the various Kirby enemies that can appear on the card.

In the remake, Koozers replace Bronto Burts in Revenge of the King mode. They have twice as much HP as a Bronto Burt, but it is still relatively average compared to normal enemies.

Locations

Bronto Burt can be found in the following places in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra:

Kirby's Dream Land 3

Bronto Burts reappear as common enemies in Kirby's Dream Land 3, acting the same as they did in past games.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

Bronto Burts make another appearance in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. In this game, it retains its usual attacks, but it can also charge at Kirby from the background of the stage. These enemies are among the most basic in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, appearing inside every realm except for Dark Star where only N-Zs exist. The Bronto Burts take one strike to be defeated. Lifting a Bronto Burt after inhaling it will make it flap its wings, propelling Kirby into the air for a short while.

Adeleine also draws Bronto Burts in her boss fight.

Artwork of Bronto Burt from Kirby: Triple Deluxe

Bronto Burt returns in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, where it takes more advantage of the foreground/background mechanic than most other enemies. It is often seen hiding in bushes or other obstructions in the background, where it will then attempt to charge Kirby, much like it did in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.

There are also insectoid (more than usual) variants, found in the Royal Road level, which presumably serve Queen Sectonia.

Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe

Bronto Burts make an appearance in Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe as hazards on the various courses for King Dedede to avoid. They typically can be seen hovering in place, though they may incorporate a patrol path into their movements. Two Bronto Burts can also be seen carrying the banner used to obscure parts of the stages.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

Red Bronto Burts are perfectly happy just flapping in place, but the blue ones will almost always swarm Kirby if they get a chance. Don't give them that chance!

— Bronto Burt's Figurine description

Bronto Burt returns in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. This time, there are two different varieties, distinguished by color. The familiar magenta ones fly in set patterns or hold in place while the new blue ones will doggedly pursue Kirby until they are defeated. In addition, there is a big blue Bronto Burt that can be encountered in some stages that takes seven Touch Dashes to defeat.

Bronto Burt provides 100 points and 3 Point Stars when defeated. The Big Bronto Burt awards 500 points and 10 Point Stars.

Locations

In Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Bronto Burt appears in the following locations:

Kirby's Blowout Blast

Bronto Burt (and its sectra equivalent) can be found in Kirby's Blowout Blast as one of the common enemies that Kirby will need to contend with. They typically try to fly slowly toward him, and are worth a base score of 100 points when defeated.

Kirby Battle Royale

Bronto Burts appear in the intro for Dedede's Cake Royale, and are one of the few standard enemies that Kirby can attack in this title. They don't pose much of a threat, and are only really there to let Kirby practice his swordsmanship on the way to the tournament.

In Slam Hockey, a Bronto Burt serves as the referee, and carries contestants knocked out of the arena back in.

Kirby Star Allies

A Bronto Burt in Kirby Star Allies

Bronto Burt returns in Kirby Star Allies as a very common enemy, just the same as it did in Triple Deluxe.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. (64)

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Bronto Burt appears as a trophy in this game.

He will pull off sudden dive bombs on occasion, and although he has no ill will toward Kirby, Bronto Burt will sometimes collide with the pink hero if he gets in the way. You should be especially careful of these collisions.	Kirby's Dream Land Kirby: Squeak Squad (American English)/Kirby: Mouse Attack (British English)

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

Bronto Burts appear as an enemy in the 3DS exclusive Smash Run mode. Here, it behaves much like it did in the Kirby series, flying through the air and occasionally divebombing fighters, dealing moderate damage if the two collide.

	These pink, winged enemies come from the Kirby series.

Their spinning attack is weak, but it can cause knock-back if it lands repeatedly.	These pink, winged enemies are all over the place in the Kirby series. In Smash Run, there are three different types of Bronto Burt, including one that relentlessly chases after you. Their spinning attack might not deal much damage, but there's a danger you could get launched if it hits repeatedly, so be careful!

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Bronto Burt appears as a Novice-level support Spirit in this game, granting the equipping fighter 'Floaty Jumps', which causes them to fall slower in the air.

This spirit can be obtained in World of Light, in a battle that involves four Pits who favor their side-special move on the Dream Land (64) stage.
