- This article is about the enemy from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, and should not be confused with Bomber.
Bumber is an enemy found in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. It is first encountered in Stage 2 of Pop Star. It does not provide any Copy Ability when swallowed. Bumber is a creature which consists of a round orange head with two bead-like eyes, and a white and purple parasol hat. It uses this hat to gently float to the ground, and then from there, it will sprout purple feet and start walking about. It will hurt Kirby on contact, but it is fairly slow, and can be inhaled rather easily.
When Kirby holds a Bumber over his head, he can use it to float gently downward, as if he was using his Parasol.
