Games[]

Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra[]

Fatty Whale is the boss of the Sub-Tree Area, the first area in The Great Cave Offensive. During the battle, Kirby stays on a very long bridge overlooking an underground lake while Fatty Whale stays in the background and attacks Kirby. Despite being in the background, the player can damage him. Fatty Whale attacks by rolling around and body slamming his way across the bridge. Whenever Fatty Whale shoots water from his blowhole, rocks (as well as Blippers) fall from the ceiling onto the bridge. Fatty Whale can also create a large splash that throws the player into the air; they will fall back down along with rocks from the ceiling. Upon being defeated, Fatty Whale spirals into the background and falls into the lake, leaving Kirby free to progress; in Kirby Super Star Ultra, Fatty Whale's attire is torn up and his body covered in bandages when defeated.

Fatty Whale also appears as the boss of Aquarius, the second stage of Milky Way Wishes. In Kirby Super Star Ultra, he appears red here instead of blue; this appearance is also used when fought in Helper to Hero.
