In theKirby novel series[edit]

In theKirby novel series, Bouncy sometimes appears as a character, usually making minor appearances.

Bouncy makes a minor appearance inKirby: Uproar at the Kirby Café?! whenKing Dedede suggests using Bouncy to make the chairs and tables of the Dedede Café bounce. Bouncy is surprised by the suggestion and tries to turn it down, but Dedede doesn't listen.

Bouncy is one of the eight competitors of the gourmet fest inKirby: Full Stomach, Perfect Circle, Dream Buffet!. She is the one that wishes them all to compete under the same conditions, prompting them all to turn into balls, having the same size, shape and speed. The food thatBandana Waddle Dee,Pauline and the others make for her to want to quit the gourmet fest is fruit jelly.

Bouncy also makes a minor appearance inKirby: Sever Evil with a Slash in a Flash! as one of the many habitants ofDream Village; she owns akanzashi (hair ornaments) shop.

Trivia[edit]

• Bouncy's top half, and Bouncy Sis' by extension, resembles Kirby greatly, except for the bow.
• InKirby's Dream Land 2 andKirby's Block Ball, Bouncys have two small strands of hair on the side of their heads. This detail is absent in all later appearances.
• InKirby's Block Ball, Bouncys can get knocked out of their spring, suggesting it is some sort of vehicle, not actually a part of their body.
• According to theirFigurine description fromKirby and the Rainbow Curse, along with theirDedede Directory post,^[1] Bouncys jump because they enjoy the view.
