Bounder

Bounder is an odd enemy from the Kirby games. It resembles a small child that clings to walls, and sometimes jumps from them, in an effort to hit Kirby. They are also capable of throwing small stars.

Their predominant appearance was in the original Kirby's Adventure and Kirby Super Star. For unknown reasons, they were replaced by Gip in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land and Kirby Super Star Ultra (remakes of Kirby's Adventure and Kirby Super Star, respectively). The enemy that replaced it has almost identical behaviors and attack methods, so it can be considered a new design rather than a separate enemy.

Bounders also make appearances in Kirby's Pinball Land and Kirby's Block Ball. In these games, they are far more rare - there are only two of them in the top level of Whispy Woods' stage. They also behave slightly differently - they are passive and will only continue to climb their territory. In addition, Bounder makes a cameo in both versions of Megaton Punch.

Trivia

 * Rolling Turtle, Capsule J, Togezo, and Bounder are currently the only enemies to have been replaced by other enemies in their respective game's remake.
