"For me, a sweet tooth is fiendishly uncouth!"
—Kernel Von Pop, Death Screen
Kernel Von Pop is one of the subjects summoned by the boss Baroness Von Bon Bon, and one of the minor bosses fought in the Sugarland Shimmy level from Inkwell Isle Two.
Description[]
Appearance[]
Kernel is a large anthropomorphic candy corn with glaring yellow eyes and a wide toothy mouth sporting triangular-shaped teeth.
Battle[]
He flies around the arena in a horizontal figure 8, randomly choosing to go straight ahead or travel vertically in the middle, and summons smaller and inverted candy corns that fly upwards. In Simple mode, the smaller candy corns won't be summoned. In Expert mode, they are summoned at a faster rate. Hitpoints = 10/10
When defeated, he floats up with his mouth (even the top of his head) separated akin to the same animation as the smaller candy corns. Hitpoints = 225/225/250

Trivia[]
- Kernel's name is unofficial, along with the names for Baroness' other subjects. It was revealed as merely a pet name given by Tina Nawrocki when asked by a fan.
- Sometimes, in simple mode, Kernel will play his "burping" animation but no smaller corns are spawned.
Inspirations and similarities[]
- His movements are similar to those of the Ghosts from Pac-Man.
