A boss that Kirby must fight in his game series.

Computer Virus, also known as Battle Windows It is different from most other bosses in the series, as it doesn't fight itself. Instead, it generates virtual monsters for Kirby to battle in an RPG-style format.

Contents

Appearance

Computer Virus appears in three windows. The top window is where the main text is, and states all attacks, turns, ability changes, damage, and other such messages. The large, square window underneath displays the current enemy that Kirby has to face. The small window to the left of the picture window displays the enemy's current HP.

Games

Kirby Super Star

Computer Virus' only appearance is in Kirby Super Star. It appears as the second boss of The Great Cave Offensive and the boss of Halfmoon in Milky Way Wishes. It also appears as one of the random, assorted bosses in The Arena.

While in the Great Cave Offensive, Computer Virus generates the monsters, Slime, Dancing Doll, and Witch. While on Halfmoon and in The Arena, Computer Virus generates Witch, Evil Knight, and Red Dragon.

In all forms, the Computer Virus will decide whether Kirby or his virtual opponent get the first move. After then, it gives a limited amount of time for the enemy or Kirby to attack. It also randomly generates Copy Pedestals that grant Kirby abilities on his turn. After three enemies are defeated, the Computer Virus awards Kirby with fake experience points (except in the case of The Arena, where the windows just disappear).

Slime

Slime is the most basic and weakest of Computer Virus' programs. It is an oval-shaped puddle of green slime with eyeballs. Slime can use a simple attack (one shooting star), retreat (which raises its defense), or do absolutely nothing. It has less than 50 HP, and is usually simple to defeat.

Slime only appears in The Great Cave Offensive version of Computer Virus.

Dancing Doll

Dancing Doll is the second program of Computer Virus. It looks like a puppet with a blue skirt and hat, and strings attached. Dancing Doll can attack with two shooting stars, reduce damage, do nothing, or "dance", which still does nothing. It has more than 75 HP.

Dancing Doll only appears in The Great Cave Offensive version of Computer Virus.

Witch

Witch is the most versatile of the programs of Computer Virus, appearing in both Computer Virus versions. It is a humanoid spell caster with a blue robe, blue pointed hat, and magic wand. Its attacks include breathing fire directly in front of itself, casting a magic spell that freezes, shooting three stars, and greatly increasing its defense. Witch has over 150 HP.

Evil Knight

Evil Knight is the fourth Computer Virus program. It appears to be the classic model of a Black Knight, complete with dark armor and shield with a red design. Evil Knight attacks with one sword that it throws, an ice spell, a defending spell and the ability to cause knives to rain from the sky. Evil Knight has over 230 HP.

Evil Knight is only found in the Halfmoon and Arena versions of Computer Virus.

Red Dragon

Red Dragon is the fifth and final Computer Virus program. It sounds like just what it is, a Red Dragon, complete with wings, fangs, and over sized nostrils. Red Dragon mainly attacks with its fire breath. However, it also attacks with its claws (seen flying and spinning), defending itself, and flaps its wings (causing Kirby to be sent to the left side of the screen while claws fly at him). Red Dragon has over 338 HP.

Red Dragon is only found in the Halfmoon and Arena versions of Computer Virus.
