Bastron is a mid-boss and stage-hazard inKirby and the Rainbow Curse. It is a giant flying purple battleship with the general profile of a rubber ducky, but with a large snout in place of a beak. Its body is shaped like a bell, with a small plug in its open back. Bastron was built byClaycia with the original intent being to use it for pleasure cruises, but after she was taken over byDark Crafter, it was repurposed into a combat vessel and outfitted with several cannons.

Function[edit]

Bastron appears in a handful of stages inKirby and the Rainbow Curse, first trying to attack Kirby from a distance, and then being the main focus of some stages when Kirby infiltrates it with theKirby Rocket. It first shoots cannonballs atKirby andWaddle Dee from afar, with reticles at the targeted areas appearing not long before it fires. Once the cannonballs hit the reticles, the area is lit ablaze for a few seconds. These shots are also capable of breaking metal blocks, which inadvertently allows Kirby to gather certain otherwise inaccessible goodies if he lures the reticle in the right way. Interestingly, Bastron will also fire atCottas and other incidental creatures on the stage.

Bastron is infiltrated in the stagesKirby Rocket's Big Blastoff andBack to the Battleship. In these stages, Kirby has to fly through the cramped metal hallways of the ship while dealing with its defenders. Once he reaches theBig Switch in the heart of the Bastron, he can press it to activate the self-destruct sequence and then escape.
