Mr. Dooter is the second boss of Kirby's Return to Dream Land. He serves as the boss of Raisin Ruins and holds the Lor Starcutter's right wing.
When the player(s) first enter the arena, they notice a turban lying on the ground. Two disembodied hands float down from above and grab the turban. The hands knock on the turban, expecting the genie to appear but a puff of smoke is released instead. Surprised, the hands proceed to bash on the turban aggressively until Mr. Dooter (EX) finally appears and the battle commences.
Appearance
Mr. Dooter is a blue, bowling pin-shaped genie. He wears green pants and a purple belt. Mr. Dooter also has a red vest with yellow designs. He has a pair of disembodied gloved hands with golden bangles and a turban with an amethyst on a red and white feather that conceals his dark blue hair. Mr. Dooter keeps the same blank expression throughout the fight.
In the Extra Mode, Mr. Dooter has a few changes. He is now red and wears dark gray pants with a blue belt. Mr. Dooter EX's vest is now black with yellow designs and his turban, which conceals his bald head, now has an emerald with a blue feather. The most notable addition to Mr. Dooter EX is his mustache and his angry expression.
Attacks
Main Game
Mr. Dooter's main attack is juggling either skulls or purple bombs in a set of three. The skulls will disintegrate when they hit the ground or the wall. The bombs will explode when they hit the ground. Mr. Dooter may even juggle a mixture of both bombs and skulls. For the skulls, he will fling them at a slight angle ahead of himself, each one landing in a spot further than the previous one. For the bombs, he will levitate them high above the ground a few spaces apart from each other before dropping all three to detonate on the ground. The genie is capable of jumping around the room after winding up, trying to crush the players. Kirby and the crew can simply avoid his shadow while he's in midair. Mr. Dooter can wrap himself inside a tornado and hover overhead. After a lengthy period of hovering, he will crash down, trying to hit everybody. Occasionally, the genie may take off his hat and disperse two red snakes, which can easily be disposed of.
Upon Mr. Dooter's health being half depleted, he will grow larger and will flash in rainbow colors. At this point in time, he winds up and jumps high into the air and off screen. Like before the attack can be avoided if everybody avoids his shadow. Mr. Dooter jumps more frequently and a bit faster. The genie can juggle larger skulls and larger bombs, as well as supersized Gordos. They cannot be destroyed or inhaled, so therefore must be avoided altogether. His tornado attack now has him bouncing around a few times on the ground before crashing down and trying to flatten everybody. Mr. Dooter can also summon four snakes or three Babuts out of his hat. The Babuts can be a pain to dodge since they come for the player.
The genie is now capable of delivering three small, flaming, consecutive punches or one massive fiery punch. Both attacks come near each other, sometimes back to back.
Upon Mr. Dooter's defeat, his turban will fall off his head as he collapses on the ground and soon explodes, releasing the right wing.
Extra Mode
Mr. Dooter EX, once again attacks by juggling skulls (now-flaming), bombs, or a mixture of both. The skulls will this time grant Kirby the Fire ability upon being swallowed. However, instead of throwing them at a downward angle a few spaces apart from each other, Mr. Dooter EX will actually aim for Kirby or one of his friends by throwing them at the direction they're currently at. He can send out 5 orange snakes from his hat instead of four. His jumps are much higher and come down a lot quicker with more force. Mr. Dooter EX's tornado attack allows him to bounce around as he attempts to crush his foes at the start of the fight, instead of having to be weakened first. He can also use his tornado to simply try to squash everybody.
Like before, upon Mr. Dooter EX's health being depleted to half, he will glow in rainbow colors for a bit and become larger. He can now juggle massive skulls, bombs, and even Big Gordos, trying to aim at Kirby and his crew as he attacks. He can release 8 Babuts from his hat as well. Mr. Dooter EX's jump attacks and tornado attacks go even quicker. His punching attacks now leave behind a lingering flame trail that will disappear after a while. Mr. Dooter EX may also attempt to grab one of the characters with one of his hands, juggling, then throwing them and disposing of their copy ability.
Once again, after being defeated, Mr. Dooter EX will collapse on the ground and explode, releasing the Starcutter's right wing.
