Learn how to get the Bomb ability, master its different throws, and unleash explosive power in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. Your guide to KABOOM!
Hey there! So you've stumbled upon the Bomb ability in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, huh? It's a pretty neat one, all about setting up big explosions to take down your enemies from a distance. You can get this explosive power from a couple of different enemies: look out for Poppy Bros. Jr., the little guy in the pointy hat who throws bombs, or Foley, that yellow seed-like enemy that flies around and drops bombs.
The in-game description really sums it up: you get to hold a huge bomb, adjust your aim, and then toss it. Get ready to blast, explode, and detonate from afar! Or, if you're feeling bold, you can even drop a bomb right on an enemy's head. KABOOM!
Let's break down how to actually use it:
| When Facing Right | Action | Explanation | Effect |
| Hold B | Bomb Prep | Kirby holds a bomb out and a red arrow appears in front of him much like the _Yoshi_ games | |
| Release B(during Bomb Prep) | Bomb Throw | The bomb is thrown in an arc the direction the red arrow was facing | |
| Up/ Down/ Left/ Right(during Bomb Prep) | Target Throw | Use the red arrow to aim the bomb | |
| Keep holding B | Self-Destruct | The bomb Kirby is holding will blow up in his hands. It pulses 10 times before rapidly pulsing a few times, then explodes | |
| Dash + B | Bomb Bowl | A bomb is thrown along the ground, rolling a bit, then stopping. It blows up after two seconds, or if it is touched by an enemy | |
| B(near enemy) | Bomb Drop | A bomb is put directly on top of an enemy, making it so it cannot move. The bomb explodes after three seconds | |
| Down + B | Bomb Set | A bomb is placed next to Kirby. It explodes after three seconds, or if touched by an enemy |
Now, I've played around with this ability a lot, and honestly, while it's super powerful and has great range – seriously, it's one of the strongest normal abilities out there – it's not the fastest. Also, be aware that Kirby doesn't get any temporary invincibility frames with his attacks. So, you'll want to be a little careful when you're using it, especially against tougher enemies or bosses. Sometimes, you might even find other abilities a bit more useful overall, but don't underestimate the sheer power of a well-placed bomb!
