Acoconut[1] is ahazard introduced inKirby's Dream Land. It is based on an actualcoconut and is spherical with a thick line in the middle. Its color is mostly brown, with some green patches. Coconuts are immobile, usually found hanging from trees. If Kirby walks underneath a tree with a coconut hanging from it, the coconut will fall down, exploding when it reaches the ground or if it comes in contact with Kirby. Coconuts can be blocked if Kirby has theParasolability. They can also be inhaled (though granting no ability when swallowed) or destroyed with any attack. Apart from being found in set locations, coconuts also appear withBonkers, almost always being thrown by him, even in games where they are otherwise absent.
Coconuts make their first appearance inKirby's Dream Land. Here, they appear only in theFloat Islands stage and the Float Islands portion ofMt. DeDeDe. They are worth 100 points when defeated, and are not replaced by anything in theExtra Game.

As mentioned earlier,Bonkers throws coconuts as part of his regular arsenal of attacks when fought as a mid-boss, so coconuts do make appearances in every game that Bonkers does, albeit not necessarily as enemies. This means the following games feature coconuts by virtue of featuring Bonkers:
