Burning Leo, originally named Burnin' Leo, is an enemy in the Kirby series. Debuting in Kirby Super Star, he grants Kirby the Fire ability if swallowed.

Appearance

Burning Leo's physical appearance is similar to that of Kirby's. He has a salmon-pink skin, dark eyes (he has blue eyes as of Kirby Star Allies) dark-colored shoes and a dark-colored headband with many flames coming out of it, resembling hair. The headband also has a circular red gem on the middle. His mouth only appears when he exhales fire.

As a Helper in Kirby Super Star Kirby Super Star Ultra, his skin becomes blue and his headband and shoes, green. In Kirby Star Allies, Burning Leo can appear in four different colors (normal, yellow, blue, green) depending on which player slot he is occupying.

In Kirby Super Star Ultra, a green-colored Burning Leo with purple shoes is a playable character in Helper to Hero along with the other helpers.

Burning Leo returns after a long absence in Kirby Star Allies, appearing for the first time in 3D. He acts the same as in the previous games, and is recruitable as a Friend. Additionally, he can mix his own ability with others to create Friend Abilities.

Just like in Kirby Super Star, Burning Leo can breathe fire even while underwater.

Trivia

  • Burning Leo is one of the few friends in Kirby Star Allies that doesn't wear a Kirby-styled hat. This is because Burning Leo's hat is already essentially the same as Kirby's Fire hat.
