'''Bounder'''<ref>Name taken from ''Kirby's Pinball Land'' Instruction Booklet (American release), Page 9</ref> is a relatively uncommon enemy which first appeared in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and most notably reappeared in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. Its method of attacking is by grappling on to walls and throwing stars at [[Kirby]].


==Characteristics==
==Physical appearance==
Bounder's first appearance is in a black jumpsuit and its face has only two black eyes. In ''Kirby Super Star'', it is now pale white instead of tan and it has a backpack, a blue suit, and red shoes; its eyes are now blue and it has a tuft of hair on it.

In ''Super Star'', it is now pale white instead of tan and it has a backpack, a blue suit, and red shoes; its eyes are now blue and it has a tuft of hair on it.


Bounder is commonly seen climbing up and down walls slowly, stopping for a moment in order to attack Kirby by throwing a star at him in an arc. Bounder can also be seen walking along the ground, though this is more often an occurrence in ''Kirby Super Star'' than anywhere else.
==Game appearances==


==Replacement==
In ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', Bounder was replaced by [[Gip]], a flying pig head. It was one of four characters to be replaced (the others being [[Togezo]], who was replaced by [[Needlous]] in ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'', [[Rolling Turtle]], who was replaced by [[Phan Phan]] in the same game, and [[Capsule J]], who became [[Capsule J2]] in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''), and the only enemy to be replaced in two remakes. Like with the other replacements, it is not clear why Bounder was replaced in this manner.

=== ''Kirby's Toy Box'' ===
Bounder appears in the ''[[Kirby's Toy Box#Kirby's Toy Box - Pinball|Pinball]]'' mini-game, where it climbs up and down on one of the walls and halts Kirby's movement if hit, which adds 30 points to the score. It does not attack by throwing stars at Kirby but simply serves as one of the targets.

Despite being replaced by Gip everywhere else, Bounder can still be seen in the background of the [[Sub-Game]] [[Megaton Punch]]. This cameo appearance can be considered Bounder's most recent appearance in any official capacity in the series.
