Mid-Bosses, also called mini-bosses,[1] are a major part of the Kirby franchise found in almost every game of the Kirby series. Mid Bosses are enemies larger than most regular enemies but smaller than most bosses that appear in the worlds that Kirby travels through. Once Kirby enters the small area in which a Mid-Boss is located, he cannot proceed or go back until his opponent has been defeated, which usually takes longer than beating a regular enemy. Mid-Bosses also give out Copy Abilities, but these can only be obtained after Kirby has knocked them out, enabling him to inhale and swallow them. Their name comes from the fact that they are similar to bosses, but are found in the middle of the levels.
