Great Gear

Great Gear is a miniboss in Kirby Mass Attack in the second, desert-themed world. He is seen early in the level, but appears to be an ordinary gear. Kirby uses him to break apart obstacles, before clipping him onto a receptacle which activates him and starts the miniboss fight.

Great Gear's only vulnerable part is the uncovered area above his forehead. Throughout the fight, he drops red and green spike bombs on Kirby. There are numerous weights hanging from both of his sides. If Kirby manages to break the balance of these weights and turn him about, he can attack his forehead and make him explode. It takes three explosions to defeat him.

Appearance
Great Gear's overall design is decidedly Aztec, and most of him is teal-gray rock and metal. He has a pair of golden gears for nostrils. There are sixteen smaller gears around him.
