BucketHeads

BucketHeads are an aggressive enemy found in Cozy Canyon and Lava Land. They have a silve bucket covering their body, but a slit is cut out showing their yellow eyes. They also have small blue legs. Once in the Explorer's range, the buckethead will screech and run at the player. Jumping on the buckethead will stun it for a couple of seconds, but then will continue attacking the player. The player must jump on it a second time to defeat it.

There is a golden variation of the buckethead that requires three jumps on top of it to defeat it.

While they are found in many areas, they are primarily in Lava Land. A large boss version reins in the volcano. In one of the levels, the hold the Aruu-Dragons hostage in cages.
