Everyone knows the only reason Bouncys like to bounce so high is 'cause they like the view from up in the air. Things just seem more... peaceful up there. Every day is a good day to Bouncys. No one's gonna keep 'em down!
— Figurine description • Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

Bouncy (Bouncy Ty in Kirby's Dream Land 2) is an enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Dream Land 2. She gives no Copy Ability when inhaled.

Physical Appearance[]

Bouncy is a pink creature with her top half of her head bearing a strong resemblance to Kirby that sits atop a large metallic spring at her bottom, wearing a bow on her head.

Games[]

Kirby's Dream Land 2[]

Bouncy first appears in the third stage of Grass Land. She continually bounces, either leaping forward or hopping in place. If she leaps forward, she will perform two short jumps followed by a high jump, and will change direction when she hits an obstacle; alternatively, if she is hopping in place, she will perform two small hops before doing something else. If she comes into contact with Kirby, Kirby will take damage.

Kirby's Block Ball[]

Bouncy appears as an enemy in Stages 9, 10, and 11. She remains in place, constantly bouncing. She drops a Changer item when defeated. Bouncy also appears in the "border line cleared" animation, bouncing directly behind Broom Hatter.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards[]

In addition to regular Bouncy, Big Bouncy appears in the second stage of Pop Star as a Room Guarder; she bounces in place and summons regular Bouncys, one at a time, that bounce while moving instead of staying in place; she takes four hits to defeat and drops the stage's second Crystal Shard when defeated.

Kirby: Canvas Curse[]

In addition to her role as an enemy in standard stages, Drawcia can summon purple Bouncys.

Kirby Mass Attack[]

Bouncy acts as a stage element in the Kirby Brawlball sub-game.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[]

A similar, but larger, version of Bouncy called Bouncy Sis appears alongside her smaller counterpart. In addition to serving as a regular enemy in Main Mode, Bouncy appears in the Water Challenge and in the New Challenge Stages.

A variant of Bouncy known as Halcandra Bouncy appears in Halcandra. It acts the same way as Bouncy.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe[]

Bouncy appears in the Dedede's Drum Dash sub-game, as well as in the downloadable Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe. She bounces up and down on a single drum. King Dedede must super jump over her to avoid damage.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse[]

Bouncy appears as an enemy and as a figurine.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[]

Bouncy appears in the Kirby 3D Rumble sub-game; she behaves like she does in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, although she only bounces in place.

Kirby's Blowout Blast[]

Bouncy first appears in Stage 2 of Level 3. She behaves like she does in Kirby 3D Rumble, although she can now bounce forward and back. Like most enemies in the game, scaled-up versions of her appear that can be inhaled for a Blaster Bullet.

Kirby Star Allies[]

In addition to regular Bouncy, Big Bouncy also makes a reappearance, acting similarly to a mid-boss, but not properly so (as it lacks a health bar; it just has a lot of stamina); Big Bouncy appears in Level 1 of Guest Star Adeleine & Ribbon: Artful Adventurers, being in place of Big N-Z, as well as in Heroes in Another Dimension - Dimension IV.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land[]

Bouncy appears in this game acting the same as she does in previous games.

Kirby's Dream Buffet[]

Bouncy's sweet-themed appearance

Bouncy appears in this game where she takes on a new gummy design, bearing resemblance to the Hi-Jump Gummy Copy Food. She appears in three modes: races, minigames, and Free Rolling, where she might be holding some strawberries on her head as she bounces around.

Related Quotes[]

Instead of attacking, Bouncys bounce up and and down in your path. Time their bounces so you can easily pass underneath or over them. If you want to destroy them, do so from a midair jump—Bouncys spend more time in the air than they do on the ground.

Trivia[]

  • When a Bouncy is hit in Kirby's Block Ball, she is knocked off of her spring and is shown as being a pink spherical creature, suggesting that the spring is not actually part of her body, but is instead a transport of sorts.
  • Bouncy is shown to have three segments on her spring in all appearances except for Kirby's Dream Land 2’s artwork, where four segments are shown.
  • In Kirby Battle Royale, one of Parasol's alternative headgear changes the design of the parasol to resemble Bouncy.
