This hammer welding gorilla has a routine when you battle him. First, he usually slam down his hammer, which you can inhale the stars from to shoot back at him. He'll then usually charge, jump up and slam down with the hammer again, causing more stars to appear to lob back at him. Last, he'll throw a coconut at Kirby which is practically a free shot! He'll then start over until you defeat him.

One of the harder mini-bosses, this cute elephant moves fast! Stay on opposite sides of him, as he'll roll about the level and leap up to grab Kirby and then crush him. When he shoots out apples, quickly grab them and spit them back at him!

This cheeky Walrus is back, and he hasn't changed much. He'll charge across the place, throwing out ice cubes which are easy ammo to lob back at him - that is until he throws the giant ice block which you can still inhale but be careful.

This bat appears to be intimidating, but just stay out of his way and it's a rather quick battle. He'll charge from one side of the room to other, then he'll float to the center and send out fire balls that you can inhale and spit back at him.

Another harder mini-boss, Bow is cute but deadly! He'll move quickly through the level swinging his arms/ears around and if Kirby happens to get in their way he'll pick Kirby up and clap and smash him! Just stay out his way, and get the stars he leaves when he slams down, or the fire balls he shoots out and spit them back at him.

Another hard mini-boss, Master Hand will move around the screen shooting out laser type balls and then slamming down. He'll also try to reach for Kirby and pick him up. An ability works best in this battle, but otherwise try to pick up anything he dishes out and send them back at him. He possesses one of the most powerful abilities in the game - Smash!

This cute little box plant is as deceiving as the presents she throws at you! She'll charge around the level tossing out nicely wrapped gifts that if Kirby lets sit too long will open! Shoot these back at her, and you'll find she's quickly beaten and you can pick up her awesome Magic ability! Or, let them open for food, batteries, bombs, or Minny.

The rarest mini-boss in the game, Bombar will fly around the room and drop missiles and bombs that you can send back at him or inhale and use the abilities against him.
