Bomb

“	Use B to pull out a bomb, and press B again to throw it. Move the Control Pad to change where to throw it.”
	— Bomb's Flavour Text • Kirby & the Amazing Mirror

Bomb is one of Kirby's copy abilities.

Kirby's most explosive ability after Crash, Bomb allows Kirby to create and utilize an endless supply of old-fashion 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 first time an actual Bomb copy ability appeared was in Kirby Super Star. In all Kirby games that the Bomb copy ability appeared in (with the exception of Kirby 64), Kirby gets a blue, floppy hat (similar to that of Poppy Bros. Jr.) when he gets this copy ability.

Attacks and Features

Move Name	Controls	Description	Element
Ready Bomb	B (when no bomb is in Kirby's hand)	Kirby makes a bomb. Kirby can do a lot with the bomb- though note that if Kirby has a bomb in his hands for too long, it will blow up and hurt Kirby, along with anything else that gets in the way (including Helpers). Also, in Kirby Super Star/Kirby Super Star Ultra, the bomb can be angled upwards by holding B. In Kirby & the Amazing Mirror/Kirby Squeak Squad, this is performed instead by holding B and then holding the ↑ button. Also in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror/Kirby Squeak Squad, the bomb can be aimed downwards by holding B and then holding the ↓ button.	None

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.

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

Transformation Sequence

The sound made when Kirby sends out a bomb is the same sound when a Poké Ball from the Pokémon series being sent out. This sound 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.

Appearences

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

Kirby (Wii)

Bomb appears as one of the abilities shown in the trailer having some qualities from previous Kirby's game like Set Bomb for example. The ability also shows a completely different hat unlike the previous Kirby games, which resembles an orange party hat instead of a blue pointed hat. There is also a new Bomb enemy. He is a tiny creature on a big ball, around the size of a Golem.

Trivia

This copy ability might be, like Sword Kirby, a reference to Link, because of the hat and the bomb itself. Link uses both swords and bombs in The Legend of Zelda series.
