| “ | A huge whale that moves vigorously to attack his opponents. | ” | — Fatty Whale description in the Enemy Characters section of theKirby Super Star instruction booklet |
Fatty Whale is aboss inKirby Super Star and its remake,Kirby Super Star Ultra. He is one of the few water bosses to be fought on land.
As his name indicates, Fatty Whale is a fat blue whale, nearly the size of the room that is his battle arena. In his closed mouth, he holds a wooden pipe. He also wears a white collared shirt and red neckerchief. Upon his defeat in the remake, Fatty Whale gets a bandage on his cheek.
Game appearances[edit]
Kirby Super Star /Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]
Fatty Whale is fought first inThe Great Cave Offensive and later inMilky Way Wishes,The Arena and finallyHelper to Hero.
Fatty Whale's strategy, besides attempting to ramKirby with his body, is using his blowhole to blow out boulders (which yield theStoneCopy Ability when inhaled and swallowed) and sometimesBlippers, which proceed to fall from the sky.
InKirby Super Star Ultra, Fatty Whale appears with an alternate palette and more health in Milky Way Wishes and Helper to Hero, like with several other bosses. In his case, Fatty Whale appears with red skin rather than blue.
Kirby Fighters 2[edit]
InKirby Fighters 2, one of theRare Hats for theWater Copy Ability, the Whale Splasher, is based on Fatty Whale.
Kirby Air Riders[edit]
Fatty Whale appears as a route character inRoad Trip. He can be located onFoundry Thoroughfare, where choosing him causes him to flood the entire screen with water, dispelling the flow of lava and allowing the rider to go toDeep-Dive Drive.
In theKirby novel series[edit]
In theKirby novel series, Fatty Whale makes an appearance inKirby Meets the Squeak Squad!. He is a dangerous creature that lives in an underground lake, in a room beneath an ancient temple. The temple has a trap door that leads right to the lake he lives in. Fatty Whale will charge at any intruders while angrily spouting seawater. However, Fatty Whale knows his limitations, and will not chase prey on land if they escape the lake.
InKirby Meets the Squeak Squad!, whenWaddle Dee,Meta Knight, and theSqueaks end up in the underground lake, they are given a breather to explain important things to Waddle Dee. However, whenKirby andKing Dedede catch up, the water intensely shakes as Fatty Whale emerges. Kirby and Dedede want to fight him, but Meta Knight warns them about the danger, and that Fatty Whale has the advantage in water. Everyone then paddles away from Fatty Whale, except Waddle Dee, who is not a good swimmer. Kirbyhovers over to help.Daroach points out that it would be faster if Waddle Dee grabs onto the UFO thatDoc pilots instead. Kirby is reluctant about this at first, but allows it, and Doc saves Waddle Dee. Everyone quickly escapes the lake and reaches the shore. Fatty Whale gets frustrated that they are now out of his range, and gives up.
