'''Heavy Lobster''' is a | '''Heavy Lobster''' is a boss and the [[Halberd]]'s security guard in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. His strategy is running, walking, and clopping out unknown red goop that gives [[Kirby]] the [[Paint]] [[Copy Ability]], miniature versions of himself (similar to [[Heavy Mole]]), and flames. | ||
Hence his name, he is a golden, heavy machine, that resembles a lobster. He 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. His eye also gets covered with paint, so he attacks randomly instead of targeting Kirby. | |||

The first battle is interrupted by the Halberd taking off (which destroys Heavy Lobster), 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 him 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]]. Heavy Lobster is fought a third time in [[Milky Way Wishes]], where he appears as the boss of [[Mekkai]]. | ||

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. | ||
