Bombzway

"Bombzways would rather carry stars than bombs, since stars are far less heavy than bombs. But orders are orders, and more often than not, Claycia's orders are: "Go drop some bombs!" What's a Bombzway to do?"

- Figurine description

Bombzway is an enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse.

Physical Appearance
Bombzway is a mint green creature with a beige underbelly. It has a pair of insect-like yellow wings connecting to its top. Thin black arms with green bracelets hang down from its shoulders. The enemy has green eyes, yellow eyelids, tiny eyebrows, and a mouth.

When angered, Bombzway's body turns salmon while its arm bracelets and eyes change to burgundy. The enemy's eyebrows arch and its mouth turns into a frown.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
Bombzways appear primarily in the stage Deploy the Kirby Tank!. They fly overhead, occasionally hovering in place before flying further. Some rush at Kirby directly, but most simply carry items on and off the screen. Bombzways tend to hold on to valuable items, such as Point Stars and Treasure Chests, and instead only drop hazardous mines.

Kirby Tank can shoot the enemies to attack them. Kirby's first shot will only enrage Bombzway; the second shot will defeat it. The player must destroy Bombzways in order to obtain their valuables.

Etymology
Bombzway's name is derived from the phrase "bombs away," which is what bombardiers would yell after dropping explosives from military aircraft during wartime.

Trivia

 * According to Bombzway's figurine description, the enemy receives its orders directly from Claycia herself.
