— VS Fiery Puffer Special Page fromKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe

Fiery Puffer is the boss of thePyred Dimension in theMagolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler mode inKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. This fire-breathing beast is the fire-themed counterpart toFatty Puffer. While his appearance is similar to Fatty Puffer, Fiery Puffer has a brown body with two large goat horns and many rocks and lava spots on the top of his body and back. The reward for defeating him is aFruit Fragment and the power to use the Dimensional Vanish and Deadly Needles abilities.

Attacks[edit]

Fiery Puffer has many modified attacks from Fatty Puffer in addition to some new ones. Most of the attacks include use of fire, including the ones where Fiery Puffer rolls around the arena, as they leave fire on the battlefield. The following is a full list of the attacks Fiery Puffer uses.

Fiery Puffer's attacks inKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe  
AttackDescription
ジャンププレス
Stomp Jump
Fiery Puffer charges a moment before launching himself into the air. From there he moves forward a little before quickly stomping into the ground, leaving a fire trail on the stomp spot. Fiery Puffer will always do this attack twice in a row. During the second phase of the battle, the fire trail will last much longer, the attack gains slight homing properties and the attack and fire trails will be much larger because of Fiery Puffer's increased size.
ヴォルガタックル・メビウス
Fiery TackleMöbius
Fiery Puffer expands into a ball and starts rolling to charge up. Once charged, Fiery Puffer will roll into the direction he is facing, and up the wall around into the middle before dropping, turning around, and doing it once more in a manner like that of a figure-8 shape, as the attack name would imply. This attack leaves a fire trail behind on the spot the Puffer rolls, and Fiery Puffer is invincible for the entire attack. In the second phase of the battle, Fiery Puffer will expand much more, covering nearly the entire arena from top to bottom, while also moving a bit slower. This makes dodging the attack much more difficult, and nearly impossible without proper upgrades.
Fish Spit*Fiery Puffer spits out two sets of two Fiery Puffer Jr.s that flop around. In the second phase, Fiery Puffer can spit them out on the ceiling. The Fiery Puffer Jr.s that appear can be attacked and defeated to increaseMagolor's combo and for a fewMagic Points. They also tend to target Magolor and flop near him. If left unattended, the Fiery Puffer Jr.s will jump off the battlefield. They still grant Magolor Magic Points for this though.
ヴォルガタックル
Fiery Tackle
Fiery Puffer expands into a ball and starts rolling to charge up. Once charged, Fiery Puffer will roll into the direction he is facing a few times before slamming into the wall, ending the attack. This attack leaves a fire trail behind on the spot the Puffer rolls, and Fiery Puffer is invincible for the entire attack. In the second phase of the battle, Fiery Puffer will expand much more, covering nearly the entire arena from top to bottom. This makes dodging the attack much more difficult, and nearly impossible without proper upgrades.
Lava Bullet*Fiery Puffer spits three globs of lava across the battlefield at various distances, which can be inhaled and swallowed to get theFire ability. He usually spits one close to him, one far from him, and one in-between the two. These lava globs explode after a moment and emit small pillars of flame.
Second phase only  
ヴォルガタックル・ヘブン&アース
Fiery Tackle Heaven & Earth
Fiery Puffer expands into a ball and starts rolling to charge up. Once charged, Fiery Puffer will roll into the direction he is facing and, once off-screen, might change positions at the top or bottom of the arena via the background before rolling back into the foreground. This repeats three more times before Fiery Puffer smashes into the wall, ending the attack. The attack leaves a fire trail behind on the spot the Puffer rolls, and Fiery Puffer is invincible for the entire attack.
ボイスヴォルカノン
Vocal Volcannon
Fiery Puffer charges for a bit before firing a massive blast of fire in the direction he is facing. This attack can becrouched under or dodged by hovering above the flames.
フレイム鍾乳石
Flame Stalactite
Fiery Puffer spawns six stalactites on the ceiling. These fall down and summon fire pillars when they hit the ground. These can be inhaled and swallowed to get theFire ability.
ヴォルガバルーンアタック
Fiery Balloon Attack
Fiery Puffer bounces back and forth from the floor to the ceiling across the room. These bounces leave fire trails, but they don't last very long.
Attack names listed are primarily taken from official Japanese strategy guides, while others are conjectural and are marked with an *.
