'''Dedede Clone''' is a [[Boss]] fought in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', appearing as the boss of [[Rhythm Route]] and is also fought in [[The Arena]]. It was created by the [[Haltmann Works Company]] using [[King Dedede]]'s DNA, and filled with an urge to destroy [[Kirby]].

==Game appearances==
===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
Dedede Clone first appears at the end of the [[Rhythm Route]], appearing as a small purple blob inside a test tube held by [[Susie]]. Susie introduces it to Kirby, giving it the full designation '''Model #D-0030 Dedede Clone'''. She unleashes the clone from its test tube and gets away using her helicopter drone, leaving the clone to deal with Kirby.

====Boss Fight====
{{quote|Susie somehow managed to acquire DNA from {{color|orange|King Dedede}}, one of the strongest life-forms on the planet, in order to create this {{UserLang|us=clone|gb=monster}}. It has the {{color|orange|voice}} and {{color|orange|look}} of the original Dedede...and may be even more {{color|orange|powerful}}.|'''{{UserLang|us=Vs.|gb=vs}} Dedede Clone''' Pause Screen description in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''}}
The following lists all of Dedede Clone's attacks in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''.

In phase 1, the clone always starts with these attacks:
#Hypernova Inhale
#Head Slide
#Head Slide
#Hammer Swing/Slam
#Super Dedede Jump x3
#Head Slide
#Hammer Swing/Slam
#Hover
#Hypernova Inhale

Afterwards, it attacks in a completely random order, comprised of the above moves.

When the Dedede Clone is knocked down to half health, it momentarily turns back into goo, then reforms into three smaller Dedede clones. After their Hammer Farmer attack, all three clones attack independently of each other, though only two of them at most can attack at once. These clones can be individually stunned, turning back into goo for a short time. After recovering, they Super Dedede Jump back into the foreground. Each time the Dedede Clones are knocked into blobs, they shrink in size, until they are roughly the same size as Kirby.

Once the clones split into three, they start with this attack:
*Hammer Farmer

After that, the three clones may perform any of these attacks at random:
*Head Slide
*Super Dedede Jump
*Hover
*Hammer Swing/Slam

Once Dedede Clone is defeated, it collapses into three individual goo puddles. As the platform they were standing on then reaches the top of the building, a large mech bearing Dedede's col{{o}}rs appears from the hatch in the cent{{er}}, and the clones hop on it, leading into the [[Dedede Clones & D3]] battle (the details of that fight are on their own separate page).

====Dedede Clone 2.0====

'''Dedede Clone 2.0''' sports a pale yellow coloration, and appears in [[Meta Knightmare Returns]], as well as [[The True Arena]]. While it possesses the same attacks of the original version, it now has the ability to fire energy blasts from its hammer.

The following lists all of Dedede Clone 2.0's attacks in [[Meta Knightmare Returns]] and [[The True Arena]].

#Hypernova Inhale 2.0
#Hover 2.0
#Head Slide 2.0

|}

Once the clones split into three, they start with these two attacks, if they aren't stunned once each before, in which case they skip these attacks completely:
#{{UserLang|us=Synchronized|gb=Synchronised}} Head Slide
#Hammer Farmer 2.0

After that, the three clones may perform any of these attacks at random:
*Head Slide 2.0
*Super Dedede Jump 2.0
*Hover 2.0
*Hammer Swing/Slam 2.0

==Trivia==
*Like [[Mecha Knight]], Dedede Clone's model number is a Japanese pun: D-0030 can be read as "King Dedede" in Japanese.
** D = Dedede
** 00 (''Ō'') + 3 (''sa'') + 0 (''ma'') = ''Ōsama'' (King)
