Masher is an enemy that makes its only game appearance in the Game Boy game Kirby's Dream Land 2. It is a iron-clad warrior roughly the size of Kirby with round hands and feet, which is armed with a large spiked ball on a chain. Its entire body is encased in purple armor, which bears a Greek cross on the front of its cylindrical breastplate and an orange spike on top of the flat helmet part.

Game Appearances

Kirby's Dream Land 2

In-game sprite.

In Kirby's Dream Land 2, Masher is part of a trio of strong adversaries consisting of itself, Blade and Butch. Just like the latter two, it is very rare throughout most of the game, although quite frequently encountered in the final level, Dark Castle. Masher moves towards Kirby and uses its spiked ball to battle him, being able to execute two slightly different attacks with it. Both of these start with Masher swinging the weapon and tossing it straight into the direction it is facing, but the way it returns to the thrower differs; whereas it simply moves back on the same path most of the time, an alternative technique causes it to move upwards in a curving motion before falling straight down to be caught by the combatant.

Like Butch and Blade, Masher cannot be inhaled, but is vulnerable to all other attacks. However, its spiked ball is able to block projectiles while it is moving.

Anime

Masher appears as a monster in the Kirby: Right Back at Ya! episode Monster Management. Here, it looks similar to its game counterpart, but is gigantic, as well as possessing arms, a singular shoulder plate on its left side and a long, green cape, all of which are absent from its in-game design. Its weapon is also more complex, having a long, heavy stick attached to the chain on the side opposite the spike ball.

Masher is ordered from NightMare Enterprises by Knuckle Joe as part of an apparent plot to eliminate Kirby. By tossing its weapon as well as performing a strong attack that involves spinning around very quickly, the monster badly harms the Star Warrior and knocks out Meta Knight. However, as it turns out that Knuckle Joe had only ordered it so he could fight it, he ends up assisting Kirby in his struggle with the colossus, disarming and eventually defeating it, causing it to explode.
