Poppy Bros. Jr.

''This article is about the generic enemies. For the mini-boss see Poppy Bros. Sr.''

Poppy Bros. Jr. is a common enemy in the Kirby series. He resembles a clown with a (usually) blue floppy hat and armless hands that float independently from his body. He is usually seen hopping back and forth around the stage. Sometimes Poppy Bros. Jr. can be seen riding on apples or a Maxim Tomato. Poppy Bros. Jr. can either have no ability, the Bomb ability, or the Cutter ability.

The mini-boss Poppy Bros. Sr. is a larger version of Poppy Bros. Jr.

Up until Kirby Wii, Bomb Kirby often wears the same hats Poppy Bros. Jr. wears. In Kirby Wii however, the Bomb hat that Kirby wears is replaced by an orange party hat.

Poppy Bros. Jr. also makes a cameo appearance in the anime episode "Cowardly Creature". Here, he is training with fellow monsters (Boomer, Dogon, Hot Head, Yaban, Whiskers, Mr. Frosty, and Jukid) at the monster training school headed by Whippy and four other evil clown-like creatures.

Kirby's Dream Land
Poppy Bro. Jrs. can be seen hopping around merrily, or riding on bear-like enemies called Grizzos. They also may be seen rolling on large apples, which hurt Kirby if he crashes into them.

Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Poppy Bros Jr appears alongside his older sibling in this game, albeit being a great deal rarer. They still hop around and roll on apples. They are also seen rolling on Maxim Tomatoes. If Kirby wishes to eat the tomato, he must first Inhale it before attacking Poppy.

Since this game does not have the Bomb ability, inhaling Poppy will give you nothing.

Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra
In Super Star they have yellow clothing with pink trim, among other (and less common) colors. They return with the same tactics, along with some new ones. There are three kinds: The regular ones, the bomb-throwing ones, and the boomerang-throwing ones. Regulars give no ability, the bomb-throwing ones give Kirby the Bomb ability (and serve as the helper for the same ability). They also wear blue clothing as a Helper. and the boomerang-throwing ones give Cutter.

In Kirby Super Star Ultra, they have the same function. In Revenge of the King they are replaced by stronger, more aggresive mime-like enemies called Perot.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
In this game, they will either walk around or remain stationary and throw bombs at Kirby. They are a very common sight to see in this game, but are rarer than they are in their other games.

In Kirby (Wii)
Poppy Bros Jr. is not in the game, but there is an Unknown Bomb Helper which sort of resembles Poppy Bros. Jr.
