Heavy Lobster is fought twice in [[Revenge of Meta Knight]]. The first battle is interrupted by the Halberd taking off (which destroys Heavy Lobster), but Heavy Lobster is fought and defeated later. His explosion knocks off the Halberd's left wing. During the second fight with Heavy Lobster, if Kirby uses the [[Paint]] ability, he can blind the beast, making him unable to aim properly. The crew of the Halberd will comment on this in dismay, in an exchange that can be considered an [[Easter egg]]. Heavy Lobster is fought a third time in [[Milky Way Wishes]], where he appears as the boss of [[Mekkai]].
Heavy Lobster is fought twice in [[Revenge of Meta Knight]]. In his first encounter, Heavy Lobster is deployed by the Halberd's crew to stop Kirby from infiltrating the rocket valve of the Halberd. This first battle is cut short by the Halberd taking off, which blows both Kirby and Heavy Lobster away, destroying Heavy Lobster in the process. In the second encounter, Heavy Lobster is again deployed to stop Kirby, this time in the Halberd's cabin. This encounter begins with a chase sequence in which Heavy Lobster pursues Kirby through the ship, unintentionally causing destruction to parts of the ship, much to the crew's dismay. The chase concludes with Heavy Lobster jumping up to engage Kirby in a standard boss battle. When defeated, the resulting explosion of Heavy Lobster causes the right wing of the Halberd to be destroyed. During this second fight, if Kirby uses the [[Paint]] ability, he can blind Heavy Lobster, rendering him unable to aim accurately. The crew of the Halberd will comment on this in dismay, in an exchange that can be considered an [[Easter egg]].


In ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', a number of changes are made to the fights against Heavy Lobster. Notably, he is given a unique battle theme. In [[Milky Way Wishes]], his battle on [[Mekkai]] is changed to be more distinct from his battle in [[Revenge of Meta Knight]]. In this battle, he is now silver, has increased health, and is fought in a factory making more Heavy Lobsters. He also appears as a boss in [[Helper to Hero]] in a battle identical to his battle in Milky Way Wishes.
Heavy Lobster is also fought in [[Milky Way Wishes]], where he appears as the boss of [[Mekkai]]. He also appears as one of the boss battles in [[The Arena]].
 
In ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', a number of changes are made to the fights against Heavy Lobster. Notably, he is given a unique battle theme. During his second battle in Revenge of Meta Knight, the background wall is now destroyed upon Heavy Lobster's entrance, revealing the setting of the fight to take place in a bomb bay. This detail likely explains why the explosion of Heavy Lobster is able to take out the entire right wing of the Halberd. In Milky Way Wishes, his battle on Mekkai is changed to be more distinct from his second battle in Revenge of Meta Knight. In this revamped battle, he is now silver, has increased health, and is fought in a factory making more Heavy Lobsters.
 
In ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', Heavy Lobster also appears on a card in [[Kirby Card Swipe]]. He also appears as a boss in [[Helper to Hero]] in a battle identical to his battle in Milky Way Wishes. His battles in Revenge of Meta Knight and Milky Way wishes are repeated in [[Meta Knightmare Ultra]].  


In ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', Heavy Lobster also appears on a card in [[Kirby Card Swipe]].

*On [[Miiverse]], questions concerning Heavy Lobster's absence in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' were addressed on September 7, 2016, in the third and final Ask-a-Thon. [[Kabula]] was chosen instead because she "fits the shooting sequences better".
