Wham Bam Jewel is a boss in Kirby Super Star Ultra. He is the final boss of Helper to Hero and the eighth boss of The True Arena, as one of the Final Four.
Wham Bam Jewel is a large triclops creature, with three red eyes and sharp fangs. His hands are made up of blue crystal gems. Wham Bam Jewel wears a golden pair of earrings and a crown with shining light blue gems. His overall appearance and name is based on Wham Bam Rock's. During battle, Wham Bam Jewel has no visible body. The intro cutscene for The True Arena reveals that he has no body, and is just floating facial features with a crown and earrings.
Wham Bam Jewel attacks in much the same way as Wham Bam Rock, with a few minor alterations here-and-there. One of Wham Bam Jewel's attacks is to unlatch crystals from his hand atop of Kirby, and Kirby can inhale them to obtain the Stone Copy Ability. Instead of crystals, he can also drop Bombs, which Kirby can inhale to gain the Bomb Copy Ability. Lastly, Wham Bam Jewel can shoot several blasts from his finger.
