Heavy Lobster: Difference between revisions

'''Heavy Lobster''' is a large, gold-colored, mechanical, lobster-like boss most notably recognized for his role protecting the [[Halberd]] in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. Equipped with rocket boosters and flamethrowers, he has the ability to charge through walls and deploy miniature versions of himself (similar to [[Heavy Mole]]). Additionally, Heavy Lobster can shoot out a goopy substance that gives [[Kirby]] the [[Paint]] [[Copy Ability]] which can be used to blind Heavy Lobster. In ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', a more resilient silver variant of Heavy Lobster serves as the boss of the [[Mekkai]] stage in [[Milky Way Wishes]].

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: Triple Deluxe]]'', Heavy Lobster appears as a randomly-appearing keychain, using his ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' sprite.

Heavy Lobster appears as a [[monster]] in the ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' episode [[Combat Kirby]]. Here, it is sent by [[eNeMeE]] to destroy the [[Halberd]] before it has a chance to reach [[eNeMeE's Fortress|his fortress]], arriving through a pod that latches on to [[Meta Knight (anime character)|Meta Knight]]'s battleship. Once it arrives, Heavy Lobster proceeds to storm the halls of the ship and make its way toward the main engine room while the crew tries to stop it. Initial attacks via missile launcher and [[Cook]] [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] fail to subdue it, but it is defeated at the last possible moment when Kirby uses the [[Ice]] [[Copy Ability]] to freeze it, allowing a missile blast to shatter the monster.

Heavy Lobster is largely the same in terms of appearance and size as it is in the games. Its powers are slightly different, however, as it attacks mainly by shooting explosive laser blasts from its claws and melting walls with its heat ray.

*Heavy Lobster is very similar to [[Heavy Mole]]. They are both gold robots, have similar names, and shoot miniature versions of themselves.
