Honker Stomper (Noseman in Japan) is a monster with a strong sense of smell, appearing in the episode The Thing About the Ring. He is capable of sniffing up anything and sucking in anything he finds with his gigantic nose, very similarly to Kirby's inhale. Honker Stomper also has a weakness to pepper, and whenever any form of pepper is thrown into his nostrils, he has a tendency to sneeze uncontrollably. His sneezes are strong enough to blow away virtually anything. He was delivered to King Dedede by NME to help him find a missing wedding ring that Sir Ebrum had lost earlier. As he went around town, Honker Stomper happened to suck up all the jewelry in town! Returning to the king with all that fine jewelry, Dedede threw a hissy fit because none of the jewelry Honker Stomper found was what he was looking for (but then again, he did decide to keep all the jewelry he for himself). Just then, Tiff, Tuff, and Kirby come along, and both Kirby and Honker Stomper had an inhaling duel with each other, but neither of them have any sort of advantage because both their inhales are so strong. Immediately, Tuff tells Kirby to stop and tosses a pepper shaker into Honker Stomper's nostrils. Honker Stomper sneezes, blowing everything away and pinning both the king and Escargoon against a wall. In a fit of rage, King Dedede used his hammer to send Honker Stomper flying out of Cappy Town.

Physical Appearance

Honker Stomper is a huge nose with arms and orange feet. He has sunken-in eyes and wears a purple detective's cap. His rather disturbing appearance and abilities could be why the episode he appears in, The Thing About the Ring, was cut the first time Kirby: Right Back at Ya! was shown.
