| ~ Tiff and Meta Knight about Masher. |
Masher is a minor antagonist in the Kirby series and the main antagonist of the Kirby: Right Back at Ya! episodes, Monster Management and Masher 2.0.
Masher is the strongest demon beast and also one of the few that was not directly ordered by King Dedede. Instead, Knuckle Joe (as Monster Manager for Nightmare Enterprises) ordered it after ordering several mini-monsters. Kirby, now weak after fighting the mini-monsters, is forced into a fight with this hulking beast. However, Knuckle Joe double-crosses Masher, and together, he and Fighter Kirby overpower it until they finish it off with a Rising Break, destroying it. The monster later reappeared in the episode Masher 2.0 as the similarly-named Masher 2.0.
Masher was once again destroyed for good by the combined efforts of Knuckle Joe and KIrby.
Masher not only has massive physical strength and can swing around its huge flail with ease, but despite its size, it can also fly using the jets hidden at the bottom of its shoes, spinning rapidly to strike the opponent.
It was also an enemy in Kirby's Dream Land 2. Here, Masher is one of the clan with Blade and Butch, and still attacks with its mace. In this perspective, Masher could be seen as an early design of Mace Knight.
In Kirby: Planet Robobot's Sub-Game Kirby 3D Rumble and its expanded version, Kirby's Blowout Blast, Masher is a Mid-Boss. Here, it is quite larger than Kirby and sports a different appearance. There are three different varieties of Masher in this form. Each one appears at the end of a level, and has different attacks to use. Each Masher is larger than the previous one, and also varies in visual appearance, beyond just the color.
Masher is also one of the only monsters that manages to injure Meta Knight (the other being WolfWrath). As Meta Knight leaps to attack Masher, it swings around its giant flail and launches Meta Knight into the cliff.
Physical Appearance
Masher's appearance is that of a large robot that looks like a garbage disposal can and has a cross on its chest. Its helmet is cylindrical and has a rectangular visor on it. On top of its helmet is a tall, pointy, golden spike. It has a left shoulder pad and a green cape (both of which were absent in Kirby's Dream Land 2). It also wields a huge flail that it can carry and swing around with ease. Masher is very knight-like in appearance.
