Dupa is an enemy from Another Dimension encountered in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. It is only encountered in Another Dimension and in the new Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler extra mode in the remake, alongside its counterparts, the Darpas, Dippas, and Deppas.

Dupa is the smallest out of its four brethren, as well as the only one with feet. It is a greenish-cyan egg-shaped creature with three small feathers on its head, similar to those of the higher-ranking Sphere Doomers. It bears an angry expression from its yellow eyes, also like the Sphere Doomers.

This enemy is the most complex of its group, and the rarest as well. It has the ability to fire projectiles like the Dippa, but they only quickly travel in a straight line. These projectiles can damage Kirby and his friends if they make contact with one. These bullets can also be shot down to avoid getting hit. The Dupa is always attached to a solid surface and moves quickly back and forth within a small unseen section of the surface. It has moderate health, but is about as easy to defeat as a Darpa.
