Game Appearances
Kirby & the Amazing Mirror
In their first appearance, Bang-Bangs initially walk on the ground, waiting for Kirby to come near. Once he does, they momentarily stop and, after a few seconds of aiming, proceed to attack by launching themselves at him, losing their feet in the process. While airborne, Bang-Bangs relentlessly home in on Kirby; however, they have bad deceleration and cannot turn around very fast, which can be exploited to cause them to miss their target.
After traveling through the air for a set amount of time, Bang-Bangs begin to flash red and eventually self-destruct, harming Kirby if he is caught in the blast. Smashing into an obstacle or directly hitting Kirby himself likewise causes them to explode. Bang-Bangs have low health and can be destroyed by any attack. Inhaling and swallowing one lets Kirby acquire the Missile ability.
