The Balloon Bomb is an item in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

Physical Appearance[]

It is a large, black bomb with a skull symbol on it. The bomb is also adorned with yellow star patterns.

Games[]

Kirby's Return to Dream Land[]

Its most common purpose is to clear the Durable Blocks which can only be destroyed by the Balloon Bomb, the Stomper Boot, and Super Abilities. When thrown at enemies and mid-bosses, it deals high damage in a large area.

It starts growing in size after being picked up and explodes by itself if held for too long. The character holding it starts panicking when it is two sizes away from exploding, similar to Bomb Kirby when his readied bomb is about to explode, and enemies with bombs placed on their heads. It deals considerably less damage to player characters than it does to enemies.

It is featured in the Item Challenge.

The Balloon Bomb retains its functionality from its previous game, however, players can no longer take damage from the blast, though they still are knocked back. There also exists a blue variant of itself as a souvenir item. This blue variant acts the same as a regular Balloon Bomb but expands at a much faster rate causing it to explode faster as well.

These Balloon Bombs will blow after a certain amount of time, and the blast is strong enough to smash any block!
