| “ | Fiery Puffer is a lava beast from this dimension. Born from elemental heat, he uses scorching moves that'll do more than melt. He still has to take the Fruit Fragment he found back to his boss... | ” | — VS Fiery Puffer Special Page from Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe |
Fiery Puffer is the boss of the Pyred Dimension in the Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler mode in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. This fire-breathing beast is the fire-themed counterpart to Fatty Puffer. While his appearance is similar to Fatty Puffer, Fiery Puffer has a brown body with two large goat horns and many rocks and lava spots on the top of his body and back. The reward for defeating him is a Fruit Fragment and the power to use the Dimensional Vanish and Deadly Needles abilities.
Attacks[edit]
Fiery Puffer has many modified attacks from Fatty Puffer in addition to some new ones. Most of the attacks include use of fire, including the ones where Fiery Puffer rolls around the arena, as they leave fire on the battlefield. The following is a full list of the attacks Fiery Puffer uses. Attacks listed in red are used only in the second phase of the fight.
| Fiery Puffer's sttacks in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe | |
|---|---|
| Attack | Description |
| ジャンププレス Stomp Jump |
Fiery Puffer charges a moment before launching himself into the air. From there he moves forward a little before quickly stomping into the ground, leaving a fire trail on the stomp spot. Fiery Puffer will always do this attack twice in a row. During the second phase of the battle, the fire trail will last much longer and the attack will be much larger because of Fiery Puffer's increased size. |
| ヴォルガタックル・メビウス Fiery Tackle Möbius |
Fiery Puffer expands into a ball and starts rolling to charge up. Once charged, Fiery Puffer will roll into the direction he is facing, and up the wall around into the middle before dropping, turning around, and doing it once more. This attack leaves a fire trail behind on the spot the Puffer rolls, and Fiery Puffer is invincible for the entire attack. In the second phase of the battle, Fiery Puffer will expand much more, covering nearly the entire arena from top to bottom. This makes dodging the attack much more difficult, and nearly impossible without proper upgrades. |
| Fish Spit* | Fiery Puffer spits out two sets of two small rock-like fish that flop around. These can be attacked and defeated to increase Magolor's combo and for a few Magic Points. They also tend to target Magolor and flop near him. If left unattended, the lava fish will jump off the battlefield. They still grant Magolor Magic Points for this though. |
| ヴォルガタックル Fiery Tackle |
Fiery Puffer expands into a ball and starts rolling to charge up. Once charged, Fiery Puffer will roll into the direction he is facing a few times before slamming into the wall, ending the attack. This attack leaves a fire trail behind on the spot the Puffer rolls, and Fiery Puffer is invincible for the entire attack. In the second phase of the battle, Fiery Puffer will expand much more, covering nearly the entire arena from top to bottom. This makes dodging the attack much more difficult, and nearly impossible without proper upgrades. |
| Lava Bullet* | Fiery Puffer spits three globs of lava across the battlefield at various distances, which can be inhaled and swallowed to get the Fire ability. He usually spits one close to him, far from him, and one in-between the two. These lava globs explode after a moment and emit small pillars of flame. |
| ヴォルガタックル・ヘブン&アース Fiery Tackle Heaven & Earth |
Fiery Puffer expands into a ball and starts rolling to charge up. Once charged, Fiery Puffer will roll into the direction he is facing and, once off-screen, might change positions at the top or bottom of the arena via the background before rolling back into the foreground. This repeats three more times before Fiery Puffer smashes into the wall, ending the attack. The attack leaves a fire trail behind on the spot the Puffer rolls, and Fiery Puffer is invincible for the entire attack. |
| ボイスヴォルカノン Vocal Volcannon |
Fiery Puffer charges for a bit before firing a massive blast of fire in the direction he is facing. This attack can be simply dodged via crouching. |
| フレイム鍾乳石 Flame Stalactite |
Fiery Puffer spawns six stalactites on the ceiling. These fall down and summon fire pillars when they hit the ground. These can be inhaled and swallowed to get the Fire ability. |
| ヴォルガバルーンアタック Fiery Balloon Attack |
Fiery Puffer bounces back and forth from the floor to the ceiling across the room. These bounces leave fire trails, but they don't last very long. |
| Attack names listed are primarily taken from official Japanese strategy guides, while others are conjectural and are marked with an *. | |
