“ | 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.
Moveset
Move | Controls | Description | Notes | Element |
---|---|---|---|---|
Hold a bomb/Ready Bomb; Self-Destruct | B/1 (not holding bomb) | Kirby creates a bomb and holds it. The bomb will explode if held for too long, and will hurt Kirby and Helpers around him; in Kirby's Return to Dream Land onward, Self Destruct doesn't damage the player, but does give knock back and invincibility as if being damaged. |
The bomb can be angled upwards by holding B. Kirby can't guard while carrying a bomb. The bomb can be angled by holding B and then holding the ↑ or ↓ buttons. |
None |
Throw a bomb/Throw Bomb | B/1 (while holding bomb) | Kirby throws the primed bomb. Bombs will explode on contact. | Sizzle | |
Set a bomb/Bomb Drop | B/1 next to foe (near enemy, not holding bomb) | Kirby sets a bomb on an enemy (bosses and undefeated mid-bosses will not be affected by this). The enemy will be stunned until the bomb explodes. | This attack debuted in Kirby Super Star. It returned in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and has been part of Bomb's moveset since. | None |
Drop a bomb/Bomb Set | ↓ + B/1 | Kirby drops a bomb on the ground in front of him. The bomb explodes after a few seconds. | Sizzle | |
Straight Throw/Bomb Bowl | Dash + B/1 | Kirby throws a bomb that travels straight ahead, unaffected by gravity. | When grounded, bombs roll instead of flying forward and explode after a short time. The bombs are now affected by gravity. |
Sizzle |
Bomb Slide | Ready Bomb, Crouch, A | Kirby does a sweep with the bomb in his hand. The bomb will be set on the ground, though it will automatically explode on contact with an enemy. | N/A | Sizzle |

Bomb Throw | B | Kirby throws a bomb a set distance in front of him. A combination of Ready Bomb and Throw Bomb, but lacks the aim mechanic and Self Destruct. | 60x2 |
Big Bomb Throw | Hold/release B | Kirby charges up his bomb, which then becomes twice as large and colored yellow with red stars. Throwing it causes a bigger explosion that also lasts longer. Similar to Balloon Bomb. | 100x4 |

A combination of Drop Bomb and Bomb Set, as doing it near an opponent will drop the bomb on the head before exploding a few seconds later.

In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
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.
- Kirby Takes the Cake (First Use)
- A Half-Baked Battle
- Right Hand Robot
- Mumbies Madness
- A Sunsational Surprise / A Sunsational Puzzle
- Fright to the Finish / Fight to the Finish
In the Super Smash Bros. series
Bomb Kirby appears as a collectible trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

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.
- Even more, in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby holds, drops, and throws bombs in exactly the same manner as Link in A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, and Ocarina of Time.
- Similar to Link, Kirby can also hurt himself with said bombs, but in the latter's case, he can only do so if he is still holding onto one.
- 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.
