A Bomber is an explosive enemy from the Kirby franchise. In the Super Smash Bros. series, they are featured as an item in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Prior to this, a Bomber appeared in the form of a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and later in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS as well; both trophies depict a Bomber about to walk off the edge of a Star Block. Their characteristics are similar to Bob-ombs from the Mario franchise.
As an item in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, similar to a Bob-omb, a Bomber spawns and then starts to walk around. The player can have their fighter pick up a Bomber and then press 
to hold it up, resulting in a large, heavy explosion in 1.5 seconds. It is possible for the player who held up the Bomber to take damage from it if they do not move away quickly enough. The closer one is to the center of the explosion, the more damage they take. If the Bomber is not utilized after a certain time, or if it falls off a surface (such as a platform), it detonates, just as in the Kirby series. Regardless of how the Bomber detonates, the time is briefly slowed before it explodes.

One dangerous dude--as evidenced by the skull drawn on his body. Bomber walks around on two legs, but whenever he falls from stairs or other high places, he hits his head and explodes, covering a significant blast radius. Kirby can suck him up to learn the Crash ability, the ultimate weapon for wiping out every last enemy on the screen. Use it once and it's gone! |

If he falls or bumps into something, he'll explode. With the right timing, you can throw him at enemies and do loads of damage!"

If he falls or bumps into something, he'll explode. But if your timing's good, you can throw him at enemies and do loads of damage!"
