Battle Windows (referred to as "Computer Virus" in the English version) is a boss fight in Kirby Super Star that appears in [[KSS:GCO|Great Cave Offensive]], [[KSS:MWW|Milky Way Wishes]], and [[KSS:The Arena|The Arena]]. Battle Windows is known for being an RNG-heavy segment in speedruns. It is a turn-based fight, similar to an RPG. Battle Windows enemies will only be vulnerable while they are not attacking Kirby, and Kirby has a limited amount of time to defeat it during his turn.

During the first turn of each Battle Windows enemy, there is a 25% chance for Battle Windows to attack first. This is a notorious point of chance in the run where time can be lost if Battle Windows gets the first attack.
During the first turn of each Battle Windows enemy, there is a 25% chance that Battle Windows will attack first. This is a notorious point of chance in the run where time can be lost if Battle Windows gets the first attack.


When Battle Windows attacks first, time loss can vary depending on the attack that is done. The worst possible luck is having an enemy shield on their first turn, which requires a whole additional turn to defeat it.

In specific circumstances, it is actually beneficial to have Battle Windows to attack first, but this is typically only done in TAS. An example of this is using Suplex while fighting Red Dragon. By having Red Dragon attack first, Kirby can grab its scratch attack and defeat it in one turn.
