'''Heavy Lobster''' is a | '''Heavy Lobster''' is a boss and the [[Halberd]]'s security guard in ''[[Kirby Super Star|{{KSS KFP}}]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. Its strategy is running, walking, and clopping out unknown red goop that gives [[Kirby]] the [[Paint]] [[Copy Ability]], miniature versions of itself (similar to [[Heavy Mole]]), and flames. | ||
Heavy Lobster is | Hence its name, it is a golden, heavy machine, that resembles a lobster. It has wing-like projections on top, which do not seem to serve a purpose; green (when not aggressive) and red (when aggressive) eyes; and a booster on the back. Heavy Lobster is not always gold. In all battles off the Halberd, Heavy Lobster is silver, and when Kirby uses the paint ability on it, Heavy Lobster turns red. Its eye also gets covered with paint, so it attacks randomly instead of targeting Kirby. | ||

Heavy Lobster is fought twice in [[Revenge of Meta Knight]]. The first battle is interrupted by the Halberd taking off, but Heavy Lobster is fought and defeated later. His explosion knocks off the Halberd's left wing. During the second fight with Heavy Lobster, if Kirby uses the [[Paint]] ability, he can blind the beast, making it unable to aim properly. The crew of the Halberd will comment on this in dismay, in an exchange that can be considered an [[easter egg]]. | |||
In ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', Heavy Lobster | Heavy Lobster is fought a third time in [[Milky Way Wishes]], but this time he is silver. The background of his battle shows a factory making more Heavy Lobsters. In ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', Heavy Lobster's battles in [[The Arena]] and [[Helper to Hero]] are identical to his battle in Milky Way Wishes. | ||
Oddly, in [[Meta Knightmare Ultra]], Meta Knight fights his own robot. | |||

Heavy Lobster | Heavy Lobster is largely the same in terms of appearance and size as it is in the games. Its powers are slightly different, however, as it attacks mainly by shooting explosive laser blasts from its claws and melting walls with its heat ray. Unlike in the games, Heavy Lobster is not defeated using the [[Paint]] ability, but the Ice ability instead. | ||

*Heavy Lobster | *Despite having exploded after the take off of the Halberd, he is fought again in [[Revenge of Meta Knight]]. They may have more than one Heavy Lobster, as seen in the background of his second and third battles. | ||
* | *Heavy Lobster is very similar to [[Heavy Mole]]. They are both gold robots, have similar names, and shoot miniature versions of themselves. | ||
*On Miiverse, questions concerning Heavy Lobster's absence in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' were addressed on September 7, 2016, in the third and final Ask-a-Thon. [[Kabula]] was chosen instead because it "fits the shooting sequences better". | |||
