'''Dedede Clones & D3''' are a [[boss]] fought in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', appearing as the second boss of [[Rhythm Route]]. They are fought directly after [[Dedede Clone]] is defeated, and the split clones retreat to pilot the '''D3 Cannon''' created by the [[Haltmann Works Company]].

==Game appearances==
===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
In ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', this boss is fought directly after [[Dedede Clone]]'s initial [[health]] bar is depleted. The mech appears, and the clone, now split into three smaller ones, mans the mech and resumes battling [[Kirby]] on top of a large skyscraper.

====Boss Battle====
According to the Japanese ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' Nintendo Official Guide Book, all of the Dedede Clones & D3's attack names start with the letter '''D'''.

When knocked down to half health, the clones and mech stagger, then enter the second phase and intensify their attacks using new weapons.

The following lists all of Dedede Clones & D3's attacks in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''.

|-
! '''Attack'''
! '''Description'''
|-
| '''ディーゼルトレイン'''<br>''Diesel Train''
|The mech repositions itself, following a path traced on the ground, and occasionally leaving [[Dropped Star]]s as it does so. It can only be hit when it is on the same plane as Kirby. The mech can move along various different paths over the course of the battle, one of which includes it spinning around on the outside circle at very fast speeds.
|-
| '''デッドビームマシンガン'''<br>''Dead Beam Machine Gun''
|The mech fires a barrage of energy blasts in a stream that slowly sweeps the arena. The energy blasts only hit the ground and can be easily avoided by jumping.
|-
| '''デンジャーキャノン'''<br>''Danger Cannon''
|The mech charges up and fires a giant laser that spans the screen and leaves three stars on the ground. The mech might fire this laser from an unreachable position.
|-
| '''ディザスターフレイム'''<br>''Disaster Flame''
|The mech shoots out three lines of flame, which leave lasting conflagration on the ground.
The mech might fire up its flamethrower, then sweep the arena with it. This attack might be used in the second phase while there's already conflagrations on the ground.
The mech might do this as it moves into the middle of the arena, doing two full spins. 
|-
!colspan=2|'''Second phase only''' &nbsp;
|-
| '''ダイナミックボマー'''<br>''Dynamic Bomber''
|The mech shoots a giant bomb that Kirby must destroy before it explodes. The bomb leaves two stars when it first hits the ground. If Kirby can hit it hard enough, it will bounce back and hit the D3 cannon instead.
*In every odd number round, the mech shoots one bomb.
*In every even number round, the mech shoots three bombs.
|-
| '''デストラクション・レイ'''<br>''Destruction Ray''
|The mech springs itself up and fires an even bigger laser from its cannon, which it will adjust while firing using its spring base. Three stars are left behind after the laser subsides.

The very first time the D3 cannon is battled, it begins with a Diesel Train to get into position and then proceeds to attack in a fixed order on loop for phase 1 as follows:
#Dead Beam Machine Gun
#Diesel Train
#Diesel Train
#Danger Cannon
#Diesel Train
#Disaster Flame
#Diesel Train
#Diesel Train
#Dead Beam Machine Gun
#Diesel Train
#Diesel Train
#Diesel Train
#Danger Cannon
#Diesel Train
#Disaster Flame [flamethrower sweeping]
#Diesel Train

In phase 2, the D3 cannon attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:
#Dynamic Bomber [1 bomb]
#Diesel Train
#Disaster Flame
#Diesel Train
#Destruction Ray
#Diesel Train
#Disaster Flame
#Diesel Train
#Disaster Flame [flamethrower sweeping]
#Diesel Train
#Dynamic Bomber [3 bombs]
#Diesel Train
#Diesel Train
#Diesel Train
#Disaster Flame [spinning in center of arena]
#Diesel Train
#Destruction Ray
#Diesel Train
#Diesel Train
#Diesel Train
#Dead Beam Machine Gun
#Diesel Train

Once defeated, the D3 mech spins rapidly out of control, then stops, and bursts, sending all three Dedede Clones flying off into the background, who then explode in sequence, leaving three '''D'''-letter fireworks in the sky. From there, Kirby does his victory dance, and proceeds to the [[Access Ark|next level]].

{{quote|This {{color|orange|tridimensional cannon}} is extremely {{color|orange|expensive}}, costing a whopping {{color|orange|four times}} more than Mecha Knight.

Dedede Clones & D3 are also fought in [[The Arena]]. Likewise, the upgraded variant, '''Dedede Clones & D3 2.0'''  ('''Dedede Cl. & D3 2.0''' in short), is fought in both [[Meta Knightmare Returns]] and [[The True Arena]].

The following lists all of the Dedede Clones & D3 2.0's attacks in Meta Knightmare Returns and The True Arena.

! '''Description'''
|-
| '''デンジャーキャノン'''<br>''Danger Cannon''
|The mech charges up and fires a giant laser that spans the screen and leaves three stars on the ground. The mech might fire this laser from an unreachable position. It is able to aim that laser up and down.
|-
| '''ディーゼルトレイン'''<br>''Diesel Train''
|The mech repositions itself, following a path traced on the ground, and occasionally leaving [[Dropped Star]]s as it does so. It can only be hit when it is on the same plane as Kirby or Meta Knight. The mech can move along various different paths over the course of the battle.
|-
| '''デッドビームマシンガン'''<br>''Dead Beam Machine Gun''
|The mech fires two barrages of energy blasts in a stream that slowly sweeps the arena. The energy blasts only hit the ground and can be easily avoided by jumping. The mech may combine this move with '''Diesel Train''', shooting the energy blasts while rotating on the tracks in a full circle.
|-
| '''ディザスターフレイム'''<br>''Disaster Flame''
|The mech shoots out four lines of flame, which leave lasting conflagration on the ground. The conflagration lasts on the ground for a longer time than in the regular battle.
The mech might fire up its flamethrower, then sweep the arena with it. This attack might be used in the second phase while there's already conflagrations on the ground.
The mech might do this as it moves into the middle of the arena, doing two full spins. The flamethrower sweep during this attack can be crouched under.

| '''デストラクション・レイ'''<br>''Destruction Ray''
|The mech springs itself up and fires an even bigger laser from its cannon, which it will adjust while firing using its spring base. Three stars are left behind after the laser subsides. It may repeat this move before the Disaster Flame conflagration disappears.

==Music==
{{main|King Dedede's Theme}}
{{main|My Friend and the Sunset}}
Dedede Clones & D3's boss battle theme is titled '''"Dedede's Tridimensional Cannon"'''.<ref name="robobot">[https://www.hallab.co.jp/eng/works/detail/003201/ ''Kirby: Planet Robobot Original Soundtrack'']</ref> It's an orchestral mashup of [[King Dedede's Theme]] and "[[My Friend and the Sunset]]" (ending theme of [[Revenge of Meta Knight]]).

Dedede Clones & D3's Theme can be found as Track 51 in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''{{'}}s [[Jukebox]].

Unlike King Dedede's Theme in 4/4 time signature, Dedede Clones & D3's Theme is composed in 3/4 time instead, which resembles "My Friend and the Sunset" in 6/8.

==Trivia==
*The D3 Cannon costs 9.3 billion Haltmanns, which is four times as many as [[Clanky Woods]] and [[Mecha Knight]]<ref name="JP">{{cite|この立体砲台は とてつもなく高がくで、<br>ウィスピーウッズや メタナイトの サイボーグ化の<br>なんと4倍。あの ギガヴォルトより 50億ハルトマニー<br>も 高い。それでも、ハルトマンの乗る、純金の<br>「プレジデンバー」の 4分の1ほど ではある。|VS Dedede Clones & D3 2.0|''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' (Japanese version)}}</ref> (2.325 billion Haltmanns), and 5 billion more than [[Gigavolt]]<ref name="JP"/> (4.3 billion Haltmanns).
**Dedede Clones & D3's defeat soundtrack is called "9.3 Billion in Anguish"<ref name="robobot"/> which actually refers to the D3 Cannon's cost.
**The Japanese pause flavor text also mentions that the D3 Cannon's cost is only one fourth of [[President Haltmann]]'s Executive Suit (37.2 billion Haltmanns).<ref name="JP"/>
*The D3 Cannon's design seems to be based on the lower half of the [[Halberd]]'s [[Combo Cannon]], which may be why "Dedede's Tridimensional Cannon" remixes "My Friend and the Sunset".
*Despite the D3 Cannon's high technology, pedals are required for maneuver.
*The two side cannons for D3 2.0 vaguely resemble [[bulbapedia:Poké Ball|Poké Balls]]. This may merely be a coincidence.
