Sphere Doomers are a collection of mid-bosses first appearing in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. They are creatures from Another Dimension that are attracted to Energy Spheres. Sphere Doomers are usually encountered at the end of interdimensional segments in many stages, which can be entered through dimensional rifts revealed using a Super Ability.

Sphere Doomers always yield two Energy Spheres to Kirby upon defeat, except for the neutral and fiery pair fought in Dangerous Dinner - Stage 3, who yield one each, and the Doomers faced in The Arena and The True Arena, who do not yield any.

Types[edit]

Regular Form[edit]

The Arena portrait of Sphere Doomers

There are four various color-types of Sphere Doomers, encountered at different points of the game:

• Neutral Sphere Doomers have no special characteristics and are relatively easy to defeat. They are officially described as blue (though their overall color is closer to purple), and have two tail feathers. They are encountered in Cookie Country and Dangerous Dinner - Stage 3.
• Fire Sphere Doomers use fiery charge attacks and shoot projectiles that leave small flames behind. They are officially described as red, and have three tail feathers. They are encountered in Raisin Ruins, Onion Ocean and Dangerous Dinner - Stage 3.
• Spark Sphere Doomers shoot projectiles that detonate into bursts of electricity. They are officially described as green (though their color also includes cyan accents), and have four tail feathers. They are encountered in White Wafers and Nutty Noon.
• Ice Sphere Doomers can shoot freezing projectiles and use a close-range ice burst attack. They are officially described as silver, and have five tail feathers. They are encountered in Egg Engines and the first two stages of Dangerous Dinner.

The following lists all of the Sphere Doomers' attacks in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Color-coded names correspond to attacks only specific Sphere Doomers can utilize. Attack names are taken from official Japanese strategy guides unless otherwise stated.

In The Arena and The True Arena, all four of them are fought in one battle, but they don't yield any Energy Spheres. They are fought in the following order:

1. Spark
2. Neutral & Fire
3. Ice

EX Form[edit]

In Extra Mode and The True Arena, Sphere Doomers appear in their EX form. Their appearances are modified slightly, as they now have one eye as opposed to two, the feathers on their head are changed to a large horn, and the edges of their wings are pointed. They also gain new attacks and can fire more projectiles at once.

Holo-Doomer[edit]

in Kirby: Planet Robobot

Two Sphere Doomers, one neutral and one fiery, appear as holograms known as Holo-Doomers in Kirby: Planet Robobot, projected by the Holo Defense API. They attack in the same way as the Dangerous Dinner - Stage 3 pair. For Holo Defense API 2.0, the Holo-Doomers take their EX form.
