Prep a huge bomb, aim it, and--KA-BOOM! Get above your enemies and boom, boom, boom! Bowl a perfect BOOM!
— Bomb's Flavor text • Kirby's Return to Dream Land

General Information

Bomb is one of Kirby's copy abilities. It debuted in Kirby Super Star.

Being Kirby's most explosive ability after Crash, Bomb allows Kirby to create and utilize an endless supply of old-fashioned grenades for massive damage. Because of the rapid throwing rate, it can overwhelm enemies.

Technically, Bomb first appeared as an item in Kirby's Dream Land, where Kirby could inhale a bomb and fire it back out to damage multiple enemies, but the bomb copy ability first appeared in Kirby Super Star. In most games with ability hats, Bomb Kirby's hat is blue and floppy, similar to that of Poppy Bros. Jr. when he gets this copy ability. In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, he gets a bluish party hat with a red ribbon instead.

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

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.

In the transformation sequence, Kirby inflates, turns red, and explodes leaving behind Bomb Kirby making a bomb.

The sound made when Kirby creates a bomb is replaced in the 4Kids dub with a new American sound effect made from that original Japanese sound effect or sounding like it as made by 4Kids.

Appearances

Bomb, along with Fighter, is the third most frequently used copy ability with six appearances.

Kirby GCN

KKCancelled This section is about an unreleased or cancelled game

Bomb appeared as one of the abilities shown in the trailer of Kirby GCN, having some qualities from previous Kirby games, like Bomb Set for example. The ability has also shown a completely different hat unlike the previous Kirby games, which resembles an orange party hat instead of a blue pointed hat. There was also a new Bomb enemy. He is a tiny creature on a big ball, around the size of a Golem. A similar redesigned hat was introduced in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.
