Koozer is an obscure flying enemy featured in the Extra Game of Kirby's Dream Land and Revenge of the King in Kirby Super Star Ultra. When Koozer appears, it replaces Bronto Burt, and has greater offensive and defensive capability than its pink counterpart. Like Bronto Burt, Koozer does not provide any Copy Ability when swallowed.
Characteristics[edit]
Koozer has a strong resemblance to Bronto Burt, except it has a black or dark blue body with a round, yellow beak. It also has bright red cheeks.
Koozer acts much the same as Bronto Burt in the air, making large swooping motions or flying quickly in straight lines. It is however capable of reaching significantly faster speeds than Bronto Burt, making it a greater threat to Kirby.

Kirby's Dream Land[edit]

Koozer may be found in every level of the extra game except for Mt. Dedede.

Koozer appears in Revenge of the King, taking the place of Bronto Burt once again. Like before, they are capable of flying very quickly, though they do not do quite as much damage as before.
Koozer appears in Purple Plants and Crash Clouds.
