— Description of Broom Hatter from the Kirby: Triple Deluxe website

Broom Hatter (alternatively spelt Broomhatter) is an enemy recurring throughout the Kirby series. Since its debut in Kirby's Dream Land, the first installment of the series, it has continued to make constant appearances. In Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Kirby Star Allies, it gives Kirby the Cleaning ability.

Physical appearance

Broom Hatter's basic appearance is that of a short, yellow creature with no visible face, wearing a black, pointed hat (similar to that of a stereotypical witch) and brown shoes. It always carries a broom, which it usually uses for sweeping the ground. It is a relatively harmless and basic foe, whose behavior does not change much between games.

Apart from this, their behavior remains mostly the same as in Kirby Super Star, although they move slightly faster and cover a greater distance with each sweep.

Broom Hatter in the intro movie

Broom Hatter didn't see the strange light in the sky because of that big hat--and didn't even notice going from unfrozen to frozen and back again to unfrozen. Maybe it's better that way.
