Jumper Shoot, originally spelled Jumpershoot, is a Mid-Boss found within Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Kirby's Dream Land 3. It is very similar to Floaty the Drifter in terms of appearance, with the exception that Jumper Shoot has a foot, unlike the Drifter, and is much larger. Once defeated, it will give out the Parasol ability when swallowed.
Game appearances[edit]
Kirby's Dream Land 2[edit]
The first time Jumpershoot appears is in Big Forest. It has two attacks: one involving spinning like a top in the air and moving toward Kirby; the other having Jumpershoot kick off its sandal as a projectile. The sandal can be inhaled and spat out to fire back at the mid-boss.

Kirby's Dream Land 3[edit]
In Kirby's Dream Land 3, Jumper Shoot reappears as a mid-boss in Cloudy Park - Stage 4 and again in Iceberg - Stage 6. It attacks the same way as in Kirby's Dream Land 2.
Trivia[edit]
- Jumper Shoot is based on the kasa-obake; an umbrella spirit from Japanese folklore.
- Jumper Shoot's name is derived from "bumbershoot", a slang term for an umbrella. This is also the origin of Bumber's name.
