'''Jumpershoot''' is a [[mid-boss]] in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. It looks like an umbrella with a single foot wearing a sandal, and looks similar to, but has more body parts than [[Drifter]]. It is the only mid-boss to date that grants the [[Parasol]] ability when [[inhale]]d.

Because Jumpershoot randomly chooses between the two attacks and can take multiple hits, the fight, while not particularly difficult, can potentially last a very long time.

Games

Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Kirby's Dream Land 3

Jumpershoot jumps around the screen and uses two attacks. It spins about the screen with its top open and kicks its geta at Kirby. The geta remains on the ground if it misses. The only way Kirby can defeat it without using a Copy Ability is to inhale the geta and spit it at the mid-boss. Because Jumpershoot randomly chooses between the two attacks and can survive multiple hits, the fight can potentially last a long time.
