'''Bomb''' is a [[Copy Ability]] introduced in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''.
+
'''Bomb''' is one of [[Kirby]]'s [[Copy Abilities]], debuting in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''.
   
 
==General Information==
 
==General Information==
Being Kirby's most explosive ability after [[Crash]], the Bomb ability allows Kirby to create and utilize an endless supply of large, black bombs. He can throw them at all angles and toss them like bowling balls in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. Bombs can also pass through spikes in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', but not in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''. The bombs will explode on contact with an enemy or any solid object. A [[Bomb (item)|bomb item]] appears in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', which Kirby can inhale and spit out to blast enemies in front of him. This is not the true Copy Ability, however, as it is an item, and can only be used once.

In ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', Kirby wields a very large black bomb. Kirby can only throw the bomb in front of him, but he can choose the distance. Once thrown, it will detonate on the ground, creating a dangerous explosion that will expand to a gigantic size. Once it expands to its limit, however, it will disappear. In this game, Bomb is a one-time use ability.

Revision as of 18:32, 20 January 2020

KPR Susie artwork This article is about the Copy Ability. For the enemy, see Bomber. For the item in Kirby's Dream Land, see Bomb (item).

Throw a bomb and blow your foes away! A great ability for attacking from afar.
— Collectible description • Kirby Battle Royale

Bomb is one of Kirby's Copy Abilities, debuting in Kirby Super Star.

General Information

Being Kirby's most explosive ability after Crash, the Bomb ability allows Kirby to create and utilize an endless supply of large, black bombs. He can throw them at all angles and toss them like bowling balls in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Bombs can also pass through spikes in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, but not in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. The bombs will explode on contact with an enemy or any solid object. A bomb item appears in Kirby's Dream Land, which Kirby can inhale and spit out to blast enemies in front of him. This is not the true Copy Ability, however, as it is an item, and can only be used once.

In Kirby Air Ride, Kirby wields a very large black bomb. Kirby can only throw the bomb in front of him, but he can choose the distance. Once thrown, it will detonate on the ground, creating a dangerous explosion that will expand to a gigantic size. Once it expands to its limit, however, it will disappear. In this game, Bomb is a one-time use ability.

In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, there is a Bomb Challenge which can be accessed by collecting 50 Energy Spheres.

Bomb appears as a Mode for Robobot Armor in Kirby: Planet Robobot.

Bomb 1

Bomb Kirby in the anime

Bomb Kirby in the anime retains the same look and attacks as in the games. He can create and throw an unlimited number of bombs at will. He can also create bombs of varying sizes.

Transformation Sequence

In the transformation sequence, Kirby cringes, inflates and turns red, then explodes. Bomb Kirby appears from the smoke of the explosion, creates a bomb, and holds it over his head. The sound made when Kirby creates a bomb is replaced in the 4Kids dub.

Appearances

Bomb, along with Fighter, is the third most frequently used Copy Ability, with six appearances.

In the Super Smash Bros. series

Bomb Kirby appears as a collectible trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Careful, though—if you hang on to the bomb for too long, you'll go BOOM yourself!

In Other Languages

The meaning of the Bomb ability is fairly consistent throughout other languages, with some variations. The Japanese name is ボム (Bomu), meaning Bomb. The German name is Bomben, literally meaning Bombs. The Spanish and French names, Bomba and Bombe respectively, both mean Bomb; in contrast, the Italian name, Granata, is different, meaning Grenade. The Dutch name is Bomb, and the Chinese name is 炸弹 (Zhàdàn), meaning Bomb.

Trivia

  • This Copy Ability's cap's original appearance is a specific reference to Poppy Bros. Jr.'s and Poppy Bros. Sr.'s attire.
  • This Copy Ability's original appearance may also be, like Sword, a reference to Link, because of the hat and the bomb itself. Link uses both swords and bombs, and wears a floppy cap in The Legend of Zelda series.
  • Bomb appeared in the trailer of Kirby GCN, having some qualities from previous Kirby games, like Bomb Set. The ability has also shown a completely different hat unlike the previous Kirby games, which resembles an orange party hat with yellow stars. There was also a new Bomb enemy, which rode on a big ball around the size of a Golem. A similarly redesigned hat (though more "bombastic") was introduced in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, which also redesigned the bombs to have blue star marks.
  • While there are Ice Bombs and Thunder Bombs, there are no Fire Bombs because the regular bomb already has the element of fire.
    • This is bypassed in Kirby Star Allies, where Bomb can be imbued with Fire. This is likely because Bomb no longer retains its fire properties.
  • In Kirby Fighters Deluxe, Bomb's rare hat allows Kirby to throw bombs covered in heart patterns. According to designer Kenichiro Kita, this design was chosen to appeal to girls.[3]
  • For Kirby's 25th Anniversary, Nintendo held a public poll asking which Copy Ability was the most popular, where the winner would be incorporated into the then-upcoming game Kirby: Battle Royale. In it, Bomb is erroneously labelled as debuting from Kirby's Adventure instead of Kirby Super Star.
  • Despite only being able to hold one bomb at a time, Bomb Dunk can set a bomb on multiple foes' heads.
