'''Bonkers''' is a simian-like [[Mid-Boss]], wielding an enormous hammer which resembles [[King Dedede]]'s. He is characterized as a large-bodied bipedal (though still noticeably hunched over in posture) gorilla man who wears denim jeans and a belt, and has a "coat" of what appears to be purple body hair around his upper body and head, though it is shaped like a heavy vest. His brow extends as to obscure his eyes, rendering them unseen behind a black veil (though some artwork portrays him with dot eyes). His arms are proportioned cartoonishly, with overly large forearms compared to the upper arm width. His hands and feet are well-defined, with five digits on each, unlike characters like [[Kirby]] who have no visible fingers or toes.
'''Bonkers''' is a simian-like [[Mid-Boss]], wielding an enormous hammer which resembles [[King Dedede]]'s. He made his first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. In order to attack, Bonkers may charge at [[Kirby]], jump in the air and swing his hammer, or throw [[Coconut]]s at Kirby to deal damage. These Coconuts may be inhaled then shot out to harm him. Once defeated, Bonkers lays on the ground for a bit, like all mid-bosses, at which point Kirby can inhale him and get the [[Hammer]] ability. Since Bonkers was the only enemy with a hammer prior to ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', he is the [[helper]] for the Hammer ability. He appears in every game with the Hammer ability, and has had many spin-offs and variations.

His name is a pun on "bonkers", a slang term for "crazy", describing to his behavior, and the verb "bonk", referring to the hammer he holds.
 
==Physical appearance==
Bonkers is characterized as a large-bodied bipedal anthropomorphic gorilla, though still noticeably hunched over in posture. He has the look of a stereotypical "[[wikipedia:greaser (subculture)|greaser]]"; he wears denim jeans and a belt, and he has a "coat" of what appears to be purple body hair around his upper body and head, which is stylized to resemble a heavy vest and a pompadour hairstyle. His brow extends as to obscure his eyes, rendering them unseen behind a black veil (though some artwork portrays him with dot eyes).
 
Bonkers' arms are proportioned cartoonishly, with overly large forearms compared to the upper arm width. His hands and feet are well-defined, with five digits on each, unlike characters like [[Kirby]] who have no visible fingers or toes. His ears are often pointed like those of an [[wikipedia:Elf|elf]], but this is not a consistent feature of his. Additionally, in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, Bonkers' feet are colored differently than his skin, resembling shoes; this is not the case in any of his other appearances.

!Attack
!Description
!Variants
|-
|'''Hammer'''
|Bonkers walks up to a target, stops and raises his hammer, and then swings it down in front of him. The slam reveals a [[Dropped Star]] on the ground afterwards.
|
|-
|'''Jump'''
|Bonkers jumps in place three times in a row, making him slightly harder to hit.
|Bonkers may also perform a giant leap which homes in on a given target's current horizontal position.
|-
|'''Coconuts'''
|Bonkers throws explosive coconuts that explode after a while or after hitting a target. They can be inhaled and spat back before they explode to inflict damage.
|His regular form starts out by throwing only one coconut. In phase 2 ''or his harder variation's phase 1'', he throws out three coconuts.<br>''His harder variation throws out two small and one big coconut in the second phase.''
|-
|'''[[Hammer Flip]]'''
|Bonkers walks up to a target, stops and charges his hammer with a fiery glow and then swings it upwards, dealing massive damage to anyone that gets hit by it. A [[Dropped Star]] appears in front of the hammer after the attack.
|
|-
|'''Hammer Swing'''
|Bonkers rapidly swings his hammer around him, moving horizontally for a few seconds before stopping. As soon as he stops hammer swinging, a Dropped Star appears in front of him.
|
|-
!colspan=3|'''Harder version only''' &nbsp;
|-
|'''Hammer Twirl'''
|Bonkers jumps up and then twirls his hammer beneath him. When landing, a fiery conflagration is left behind for a few moments while Dropped Stars appear on both sides of the hammer. This repeats three more times, with the hammer enlarging and delaying Bonkers hitting the ground for the last twirl.

'''Bonkers''' appears in the ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' episode [[Goin' Bonkers]], serving as the guest star and the [[monster]] of that episode. Initially, Bonkers lived on his own in a jungle outside of [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]], but was captured by a circus and forced to perform for them for a time. While in his cage, Bonkers would be able to catch glimpses of his trainer watching episodes of ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', and became enamored with the idea of being a [[Star Warrior]] like [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]]. Eventually, Bonkers was able to escape the circus with one of their hammers, and traveled great distances in order to reach Dream Land and find his idol Kirby.

Line 690: Line 1,023:
When transformed into his monster form, Bonkers and his hammer become significantly larger. He also becomes more disheveled in appearance, his eyes turn red, and he grows sharp teeth and claws. In this form, he acts with a blind rage, going after [[Tiff]] for seemingly no reason. However, as he remained good at heart, he was unable to be transformed completely, and seeing Kirby acting like a hero allowed him to return to normal.
