Poppy Bros. Jr. first appeared in the first installment of the Kirby series, Kirby's Dream Land, where he can be seen riding apples or Grizzos. However, the first instance where he uses his signature bomb-throwing move is Kirby's Super Star, where he grants Kirby the Bomb ability upon being swallowed. He is also seen throwing boomerangs at Kirby; with this version of Poppy Bros. Jr. giving Kirby the Cutter ability instead. Poppy Bros. Jr. also has an elder counterpart named Poppy Bros. Sr., who will try to impede Kirby's progress.
While most Poppy Bros. Jrs. are enemies to Kirby, some will assist him in his adventures. In Kirby's Super Star and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Poppy Bros. Jr. is a helper Kirby can summon whenever he obtained the Bomb ability. He is also a playable character in the sub mode, Helper to Hero. In Kirby Star Allies, Poppy Bros. Jr. is the first enemy Kirby will recruit to become a Friend.
