Poppy Bros. Sr.

''This article is about the mini-boss. For the younger child enemy see Poppy Bros. Jr.''

Poppy Bros. Sr. is a common reoccurring mini-boss in the Kirby series that resembles a clown and hops back and forth throwing bombs. He is often said to be Poppy Bros. Jr.'s older brother. Kirby must inhale and spit his bombs back to defeat him.

Depending on the game Poppy Bros. Sr. gives either Crash or Bomb ability.

Kirby's Dream Land
Poppy Bros. Sr. is the first mini-boss encountered in the game. He appears in Green Greens and hops about sometimes throwing a bomb, or making a large hop across the stage.

In extra mode Poppy Bros. Sr.'s large hop is replaced with a quick dash that can be hard to dodge.

Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Poppy Bros. Sr. is almost exactly the same as his appearence in Kirby's Dream Land, however after being defeated his body stays around for a little while and can be eaten for Crash ability. He also can't do the dash attack from Dream Land's extra mode.

In some of the later stages two Poppy Bros. Sr. appear at once and must both be fought at the same time.

Kirby Super Star
Poppy Bro. Sr. is the almost same as his appearence in Kirby's Adventure except he regains his dash attack from Kirby's Dream Land and will also occaisonally throw three bombs at once.

When inhaled he now gives Bomb ability instead of Crash.

Spinnoffs
Two Poppy Bros. Sr. are fought as bosses in Kirby's Pinball Land, a single Poppy Bros. Sr. appears as a boss in Kirby's Block Ball and an opponent in Kirby's Avalanche.
