Steelsnapper is a mid-boss that appears in Kirby Mass Attack. It appears in Sandy Canyon and Dedede Resort.

Physical Appearance

Steelsnapper appears to be an eel made completely out of metal, with its head covered in spikes and has yellow glowing eyes. Its body is divided into several segments made of small cubes with glass windows. The cubes occasionally turn pink and extract spines.

Attack Phases

Phase 1

In the first phase of the battle, Steelsnapper will use its signature attack, which is swimming throughout the battle field. It will also fire torpedos that home in on the Kirbys. Another attack Steelsnapper uses is attempting to suck up the Kirbys. If it suceeds, the swallowed Kirby or Kirbys won't get KO'ed, but will get trapped inside of one of Steelsnappers body segments.

Phase 2

In this phase, Steelsnapper will reveal each of its segments, most of which are pink and covered in spines, while some of them are not.

Phase 3

In the final phase of the battle, Steelsnapper, having all of its body segments covered in spines, will swim straight ahead and stick its head out in a certain area, and its remaining segments will become vulnerable.

How to Defeat

To defeat Steelsnapper, the Kirbys have to destroy each and every one of its body segments, without touching the pink spiny ones. They can also rescue the swallowed Kirby(s), if Steelsnapper has swallowed any.

Trivia

• Steelsnapper and Kabula are the only characters in the Kirby series to fire missiles with faces painted on them.
