Broom Hatter's basic appearance is that of a short, yellow creature with no visible face, wearing a black, pointed hat (similar to that of a stereotypical witch) and brown shoes. She always carries a broom, which she usually uses for sweeping the ground. She is a relatively harmless and basic foe, whose behavior does not change much between games. She is often seen sweeping on the letter "L" inHAL Rooms.
Broom Hatter is described as an apprentice witch by hertrophy inSuper Smash Bros. For Wii U. She is frequently referred to with feminine pronouns, which can also be seen in that trophy description, along with blurbs fromPlay Nintendo. However, the Guest Star description forKirby Star Allies instead uses masculine pronouns, though the Play Nintendo website for said game still refers to Broom Hatter as female.[2] A description in theNintendo Today! app also uses masculine pronouns. For the purposes of this page, Broom Hatter is assumed to be female outside of specific references to "his" role in theKirby Star Allies game itself.
InKirby's Dream Land, Broom Hatter behaves noticeably different from most of her later appearances. She walks left and right rather quickly while sweeping the ground with her broom and occasionally jumps.Kirby can defeat her using any of his standard attacks. Broom Hatter is not replaced by any other enemy in theExtra Game.

She guides Kirby and the others into the ruins, telling them about how valuable the treasure is, and that rumors of the master still being there have scared thieves away from the ruins.

They succeed in the end, and the crystal is safely returned to Broom Hatter and Ringle.
