Bomb Rally is one of theSub-Games featured inKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. Like the other sub-games, Bomb Rally has multiplayer support with up to four players. It also makes an appearance inKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, as an addition to the base game.

Gameplay[edit]

Kirby faces off against three opponents, who can either be otherKirbys or - inKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe -King Dedede,Meta Knight, orBandana Waddle Dee in an explosive tennis-style rally. Each contestant must use their frying pan to pass around the bomb to the next one. To hit the bomb along, the player needs to hit the A button with proper timing, as it heads toward their character. Additionally, pressing A before the bomb reaches the player causes the player to take a reverse grip, serving the bomb to a different contestant. If a contestant does not hit the bomb in time, they are blown out of the screen and replaced with aBubbles, who then serves the bomb to a nearby contestant. As the sub-game progress, the bomb moves faster between the contestants. The Bubbles always hit the bombs. The last contestant standing wins at the sub-game. InKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, the speed the bomb moves is instead based on when the bomb is hit; hitting the bomb at the last possible moment creates a smash hit that lets it travel at high speed.

InKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Kirby can play Bomb Rally from an unlockable door in every level's hub, exceptButter Building, in exchange for1-Up rewards. The number of 1-Ups that Kirby obtains is based on his performance: three in first place, two in second place, one in third place or zero in fourth place. There are three levels of difficulty for this Sub-Game, with each increment increasing the CPU reaction time.
