Trivia[]
- Flame Galboros' attacks are very similar to that of Water Galboros though changed from Water based to Fire based with lava bubbles that travel across the terrain similar to waves, fireballs similar to sea foam, fireball shower similar to sea shower, and burn similar to wave surf.
- Despite being a larger version of Galbo, the enemy itself does not appear in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. Because of that, Flame Galboros is the only member of the Galboros family to appear in the game.
