This article is about the boss inKirby: Planet Robobot. For theBattle Stage, seeGigavolt (Battle Stage).

Gigavolt is aboss that appears inKirby: Planet Robobot. It is first seen inStage 3 ofPatched Plains and is fought exclusively with theRobobot Armor. Gigavolt also appears as a hazard inKirby Fighters 2 on theeponymous Battle Stage.

Gigavolt is notably large; given that it takes up a majority of the screen even being in the background. It's a towering green robot with a cylindrical head, long arms with rectangular hands, and apparently no legs, as its torso seems to just connect directly to the ground. Despite its intimidating size, it is not hard to defeat.

Game appearances[edit]

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

At the end of Stage 3 ofPatched Plains, Kirby rolls with his armor into a flat area, where two small green robots known asVols ambush him. These two are presumably minions of Gigavolt, and are easily defeated by unscrewing the screws on their heads. Once both are destroyed, Gigavolt itself appears, its head flying in and connecting to the rest of its body. It sits in the background, and as such, cannot be attacked directly. It instead makes itself vulnerable when it attempts to slam one of its fists on Kirby. Once it hits the ground, Kirby can destroy the protective covering, then unscrew the screw on its hand, dislodging it, and causing the arm to explode. Once both arms are destroyed in this way, Kirby then hops onto Gigavolt's head, and unscrews the screw there. He has to do this quickly though, as missiles fired from Gigavolt's back close in on him. If successful, Gigavolt explodes, and the stage exit flies out of it for Kirby to enter through.

Another variety of Gigavolt, known asGigavolt II, appears at the end ofStage 5 of the Access Ark. This variety is purple, has two layers of armor on its hands, and changes its arm slam in one of two ways: either by slamming three times in a row aiming for Kirby while doing so or by charging up a super-charged slam that creates shockwaves on either side. Other than that, the way to defeat it is identical to the first-edition model.

One ofStar Dream's attacks is to summon Gigavolts to attack the Halberd, withStar Dream Soul OS summoning Gigavolt II instead. Here it can be plainly seen that they have no legs.

Kirby Fighters 2[edit]

Gigavolt also appears inKirby Fighters 2, as a stage hazard for thebattle stage of the same name. Notably, Gigavolt's "hands" are now colored green instead of red and cannot be damaged in any way. Gigavolt also does not have a screw on its head in this game. Its battle theme, "Pink Ball Activate!", is used as the stage theme.
