He is a recurring character who serves as [[Kirby]]'s "arch frenemy" and is usually fought as a [[boss]]. Though he often engages in trouble-making, mostly involving stealing other people's food, he has performed noble deeds as well, such as trying to seal away [[Nightmare]], helping Kirby battle [[Queen Sectonia]], and accompanying Kirby in several of his adventures. Because of this, he is considered a protagonist, despite his greediness and egotism. King Dedede lives in [[Castle Dedede|a castle atop a mountain]] with a retinue of [[Waddle Dee]]s acting as his servants. | ||

He is often portrayed as a comic foil to Kirby, which makes him comparable to [[mariowiki:Bowser|Bowser]] from the [[mariowiki:Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]], though King Dedede is not nearly as villainous. He has appeared in one form or another in nearly every game in the series, and he even stars in his own side game, ''[[Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe]]''. In older games, he was seldom playable, but this changed starting with ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', with the king being playable in most of his subsequent appearances. | ||

==Physical appearance== | ==Physical appearance== | ||
King Dedede resembles a round, blue, penguin-like creature, though Nintendo Power has referred to him on at least one occasion as an eagle.<ref>'''Nintendo Power''', Vol. 134</ref> He has a large, round belly, blue eyes, a yellow beak, and yellow feet which resemble [[Kirby]]'s. He wears a kingly red coat with white trim and a red tuque with a golden crown-like ridge. The red coat itself sports a white trim and, on its back, bears his signature V-sign emblem (or in earlier appearances, a portrait of himself). In most appearances, he also wears yellow gloves on his hands, and a beige undershirt under his coat; occasionally, it is designed as an elaborate ''[[wikipedia:kimono|kimono]]'' instead. Around his belly is an ''[[wikipedia:obi (sash)|obi]]'' (patterned belt) with a tessellated red-and-yellow design on it, somewhat resembling pointed teeth. When he is possessed by [[Dark Matter]], this obi will open up like a big mouth to fire projectiles. | |||
King Dedede, like Kirby, can [[inhale]] and [[hover]] by expanding his belly. According to his trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', King Dedede could not hover initially but taught himself how after being [[Kirby's Dream Land|beaten by Kirby for the first time]]. However, King Dedede is not able to [[Copy Ability|copy abilities]] like his pink rival. To make up for this, he carries a large wooden mallet, which he uses for most of his attacks. When that is not enough, the king can use his portly size to perform [[Super Dedede Jump|great leaps]] and [[Head Slide|body slams]]. | |||

King Dedede is | King Dedede is portrayed as egocentric, stubborn, and also gluttonous. This is evidenced by his self-proclaimed status as the King of Dream Land, and how he occasionally steals food without caring for the victims. He sees Kirby as his rival, and often competes with him for food and other reasons. Despite his egotistical nature, however, King Dedede is not evil. It is increasingly common for him to be shown as a caring character who tries to save Dream Land from greater foes, such as [[Nightmare]] and [[Queen Sectonia]]. Because of this, Dedede is considered Kirby's friendly rival or "arch frenemy" rather than a true nemesis. | ||
Much of Dedede's personality in later games in the series stems from his portrayal in the anime — ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' — where his bloated ego and regal persona often mask his jealousy of Kirby's power and popularity. The plot of ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'' in particular plays out very similarly to an episode from the anime, where King Dedede hatches a ludicrously complicated (and expensive) plot to lure Kirby into a public spotlight and try to humiliate the pink puffball in a series of games, only to have it backfire in his face, resulting in Kirby coming out on top once again. Ultimately, despite his misgivings, Dedede understands that Kirby is the true savior of Dream Land, and will not hesitate to assist him during times of peril. | |||
King Dedede seems to have a passion for wrestling matches, since his battlefield of choice is a boxing ring. | |||

This fight takes place in two phases. In the first, King Dedede poses in a spotlight and tosses bombs at the flippers to temporarily disable them. After five hits, the spotlight gives way to the fully-lit boxing ring. Here, King Dedede has two different methods of attack. He can either puff up and chase Kirby around, or cast lightning from his hands to disable the flippers while held. He can also use his [[Super Dedede Jump]] to reposition himself. After eighteen more hits, Dedede is defeated. He lands out in a checkerboard field, and Kirby has him cornered, when a [[Kabu]] jumps from behind and flattens Kirby, allowing Dedede to escape with his entourage.

As such, his survivability is quite high, even if he is often unable to get a hit against speedier characters. His ability to 'chain-grab' certain opponents (by grabbing and throwing them over and over again) makes him very dangerous in certain matchups, and in many cases makes up for his otherwise lackluster move-set. King Dedede is also infamous for his forward-tilt attack, where he juts his hammer out forward in a motion that can hit much farther than any other attack of its type in the game. | ||

He rules over [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]], which includes the residents of [[Cappy Town]], though said residents do not treat him with must respect or loyalty. His [[Castle Dedede|castle]] is situated on a high cliff overlooking the town, with residents including his main lackey [[Escargoon]], [[Meta Knight (anime character)|Meta Knight]] and his apprentices [[Sword Knight (anime character)|Sword Knight]] and [[Blade Knight (anime character)|Blade Knight]], [[Sir Ebrum]], [[Lady Like]], and their children [[Tiff]] and [[Tuff]], and a retinue of [[Waddle Dee (anime character)|Waddle Dee]]s led by [[Captain Waddle Doo]]. | ||
King Dedede is characterized in the anime as a jealous, short-tempered, and foolish tyrant who tries constantly to remove [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] from Dream Land, whether that be by attempting to destroy him with a [[monster]] purchased from [[Night Mare Enterprises]] or by attempting to subvert Cappy Town's support of the pink [[Star Warrior]]. Most of his rage when these plans are foiled is directed at his assistant Escargoon, who puts up with this abuse on the regular. Despite this, Dedede himself is often saved by Kirby and eventually comes to terms with him by the end of the story arc. In the Japanese version of the show, King Dedede ends most of his sentences with "zoi". | |||

In every game in the [[Dark Matter]] trilogy and in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', he is possessed by the main villain. Additionally, King Dedede has been puppeted and controlled by both [[Yin-Yarn]] and [[Taranza]]. | ||
*In his playable appearances in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', King Dedede's hitbox is the same size as Kirby's, despite his model being much larger.
