Blowfish is an enemy in the Kirby series, only appearing in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. It gives the Bomb ability when inhaled.
Physical Appearance
Blowfish resembles a green fish with round black eyes, a white underbelly, and three yellow fins. He also appears to have a yellow mouth on the front of his face. When he is puffed up, his eyes widen.
Games
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
Blowfish is often found underwater, and when Kirby comes near him, he will puff up and his eyes will widen; small red balls will come out of his underbelly, and he will explode. A giant Blowfish appears in Stage 3-4 as a mid-boss, with four Glunks to use as ammo against Kirby.
Trivia
- In the Aqua Star boss stage, phase 2, some Blowfish appear. Depending on where Kirby is positioned, these Blowfish can be ammo or hazards. When held above Kirby's head, these fish just sit there, useless. However, they do eventually explode and cause Kirby damage.
