The lower-jaw structure on the sprite bears heavy resemblance to Capsule J's green visor, and it would appear as if they simply overlapped a new head right on top of a higher-quality Capsule J sprite.Ĭapsule J2 replaces the original Capsule J. It has a lower jaw-like extension and glowing red eyes.īy examining the jaw-like structure even closer, it becomes evident that the game designers may not have started from scratch when working on Capsule J2's sprite. It has an eerie, shark-like head and a pair of high-powered rocket boosters. Rather than looking like a robotic Waddle Doo like Capsule J, J2 looks more like an actual plane. With the exception of its head and facial area, Capsule J2 also physically resembles the original Capsule J. This theory has further credence when one considers that Capsule J was missing from the Helpers drawn on the Memorial Fan Book cover. A possible explanation for this replacement is because Capsule J heavily resembles Konami's TwinBee, so the replacement was made in order to avoid copyright issues. However, Gip had previously done the same in the transition from Kirby's Adventure to Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.
J2 has all of the same abilities of its predecessor like Jet Cracker, Jet Headbutt, Jet Blow, Rocket Dive, and the ability to store power and hover.Ĭapsule J2 was not the only character to act as a replacement in Kirby Super Star Ultra, as Gip also appeared to take over Bounder's role from the original.
Like the earlier Capsule J, Capsule J2 provides the Jet ability and is a carbon clone of the original in terms of attacks and behavior. It is best known for replacing Capsule J from Kirby Super Star. 18 HP Capsule J2 is an enemy and a Helper in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby Super Star Ultra.
