Beanbon

Beanbon is a small and common green sprout-shapedenemy that is exclusive toKirby Mass Attack. It can commonly be seen waddling slowly from left to right and if it spots anyKirbys, it will attempt to shoot a seed at them to attack. Beanbon is among the most ubiquitous enemies inKirby Mass Attack — appearing in most stages in some form or another and with many alternate forms — and essentially replacesWaddle Dee as the most basic weak enemy in the game, due to Waddle Dees being less common in this title. Defeating one confers 100 points to the player.
One ofKirby Mass Attack'sChecklist objectives, "Beanbon Basher", is obtained by defeating at least 50 regular Beanbons throughout the game.
Characteristics[edit]
Beanbon is a small green teardrop-shaped creature with little orange feet similar to those of Kirby and two leaves sprouting atop its head. Its face is also similar to that of Kirby's, though its cheek marks are orange bars instead of a reddish-pink blush.
When Beanbon is preparing to fire a seed from atop its head, it briefly turns orange and adopts an angered expression. While being attacked, it cries.
Variants[edit]
Due to its ubiquity, there are several variants of Beanbon which also appear inKirby Mass Attack. These are as follows:
- Big Beanbon - A larger variant of Beanbon that attacks with its girth.
- Bigger Beanbon - A very large version of Beanbon that only appears inStrato Patrol EOS andKirby Quest.
- Flapbon - A flying version of Beanbon that drops enemies instead of seeds.
- Gold Beanbon - A rare golden version of Beanbon that tries to flee when spotting the Kirbys.
- Mummbon andBig Mummbon - Beanbon-like creatures made of wrapped bandages.
- Zombon andBig Zombon - Zombified Beanbons that can possess Kirbys with their attacks.
