— Figure description fromKirby and the Forgotten Land

Chain Bomb is anEvolved Copy Ability based onBomb that appears inKirby and the Forgotten Land andKirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World. With it, whenKirby throws two chain bombs close enough to each-other, they will link together via a glowing chain. Up to six bombs can be linked together like this, and when they detonate, a large, green, dome-shaped explosion will appear and linger for a couple of seconds. The size of these explosions becomes larger when more bombs are connected together. Kirby's hat becomes a variant of the regular Bomb hat with a green top and a chain-link brim, while the bombs turn green with black bumps on the outside and a spark inside.

Theblueprint for Chain Bomb may be found in the stageFast-Flowing Waterworks. It is located inside aTreasure Chest along the main path, which appears after clearing an enemy ambush. Chain Bomb is required to play theTreasure Road stageCast a Line! Chain Bomb Trial.
