Bumber (Laquer or Rakka in Japan) is a regular enemy from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. He is a round orange being with a purple and violet umbrella sticking out of his head that can slow his descent in the air. He gives no ability when swallowed. As he drops, he jiggles around, seemingly made of jelly.
Bumber has yet to appear in the series since Kirby 64, although similar enemies such as Sasuke have.
Games
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
Bumbers have two little feet (not visible when they float down from the air) and a purple parasol-like hat protruding from their bodies. Whenever they fall, they activate their parasols to slow down their fall. Upon reaching the ground, Bumber will pace back and forth. They yield no ability, unlike their Parasol giving relative, Sasuke. However, if Kirby holds one above his head, he will fall slowly, much like the parasol ability. Also, two sets of Bumbers appear in a mini-boss fight against a giant Kapar in Aqua Star.
Trivia
- Bumber has a strange resemblance to some carnations of a staple Mega Man series enemy known as Mettaur.
- Bumbers name might be based off of the slang "Bumbershoot" another word for umbrella.
