Bomber

''This article is about the explosive enemy. For the article about the flying airplane boss that is named similarly, see here.''

Bomber is an enemy that appears in the Kirby series. He is a weak, accident-prone missile-type enemy with legs and a skull painted on either side. His metallic-looking exterior is actually really delicate, so one wrong move and he shatters, leaving his highly flammable insides to erupt out of the cracks in his damaged body, creating an explosion and instantaneously taking out Bomber in the process. This explosion kills all enemies on-screen, though it will only hurt Kirby if he gets too close. Most times, Bomber is perched dangerously close to the edge of a platform and then falls off promptly after Kirby comes on-screen.

While this is the most common way for the explosion to occur, he may also explode if Kirby gets in his way.

Trivia

 * In the game Kirby on the Draw in Kirby Super Star Ultra, if Kirby shoots Bomber, it will blow up despite being an artificial piece of wood with Bomber's picture slapped on to it. This may, however, be an actual Bomber on a stick, because there is no wooden cutout behind it.
 * In the Paint Panic minigame in Kirby Canvas Curse, you have to escape Bombers by copying Paint Roller's picture. If they catch you, they will blow up and you take damage.
