Mowlee Bros.
| ||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||
TheMowlee Bros.[1] aremid-bosses fromKirby: Triple Deluxe, who are fought using theHypernova ability. The Mowlee Bros. are large mole-like creatures who wear tinted goggles and come in various colors. Their primary strategy is to move between burrow holes, and emerge to toss boulders atKirby. These boulders can beInhaled and spat back, but Kirby will need to employ good timing in order to hit them, as they will burrow underground shortly after tossing the boulders.
The Mowlee Bros. are fought in sequence, with the first three being fought one-after-the-other at the end of Stage 1 ofFine Fields, and the fourth being fought solo in Stage 8 EX ofRoyal Road.
Mowlee Line-Up[edit]
| Image | Number | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | 1 | The first Bro will toss a dirt boulder on occasion, or will pop up and do nothing for a short while, giving an easy opportunity to hit him. |
 | 2 | The second Bro, in addition to the first, will occasionally put out a decoy, and will snicker if Kirby hits it instead of him. |
 | 3 | The third Bro, in addition to being somewhat faster than the second, will also use a second hole, on a higher cliff. Defeating him reveals the stage exit. |
 | EX | The last Bro, in addition to all previous tactics, will also throw large flaming spiked boulders that cannot be inhaled or smashed by a normal boulder, and instead must be dodged. |
Each Mowlee Bro defeated will either fly off to the background, or splat against the screen.
Trivia[edit]
- Each Mowlee Bro in succession has a more extreme hairstyle, and more dramatic goggles. The EX Bro also has gloves, presumably so he can handle the flaming boulders he tosses.
- When a Mowlee Bro is pulling out an object to throw, he becomes briefly intangible, and cannot be hit by spitting a boulder at him. It is uncertain if this is intended behavior or not.
