HR-H is the futuristic, anthropomorphic guardian of theShiver Star, battled inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards. HR-H places a firm focus on physicality in each of its attacks, all of which attempt to either smash or blow Kirby to smithereens. Like previous bosses, however, HR-H's weak point is practically anywhere on its body that Kirby can land a shot. According to theEnemy Info Cards, HR-H changes its name toHR-E when it enters its second form.

Battle[edit]

Boss fight against HR-H

HR-H in itsHR-E form during a later part of the battle.

The main challenge of this battle is being able to avoid HR-H's rockets and wing attacks. HR-H primarily uses its wings to attack Kirby, though also possesses a sweeping laser occasionally fired from its head. Over the course of the battle, HR-H fires rockets at Kirby that can be inhaled and spat out at its wings to damage it.

At the beginning of the second phase, the boss becomesHR-E, shifting to a form similar to that ofHeavy Lobster. HR-E chases Kirby along the platform, firing rockets and snapping at Kirby with its pincers. Kirby can easily defeat this phase by repeating the pattern of inhaling missiles and spitting them back out at HR-E's black body. If after around four minutes HR-E is not defeated, it will transform back to HR-H and new platforms will stop appearing, which in consequence will make Kirby fall into abottomless pit.^[1]

The fight may go much quicker if Kirby has aCopy Ability (i.e.Burning,Cutter, etc.) or aPower Combo.

Other appearances[edit]

• InKirby's Dream Buffet, HR-H appears on aCharacter Treat, using its artwork fromKirby 64: The Crystal Shards.

Trivia[edit]

• The "HR" inHR-D3's name fromKirby's Return to Dream Land and itsremake is a reference to HR-H. In theDedede Directory post about HR-H,King Dedede mentions that there are robots in the same series that look like him.^[2]
• It has not been confirmed what "HR" stands for; HR-D3's Japanese attack names, as well as aCPU nickname inKirby's Dream Buffet that seemingly refers to HR-H ("HeavyIII"), imply that it stands for "Heavy Robot".
