{{About|Waddle Dees who swing on ropes|Waddle Dees in a general context|[[Waddle Dee]]}}
'''Rope Waddle Dee''' is an enemy in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''. This enemy is a [[Waddle Dee]] who is swinging from a rope in a back and forth motion, in and out of the plane which [[Kirby]] operates in. As such, Kirby will need to time his attack if he wants to dispatch this enemy.
'''Swinging Waddle Dee'''{{foreignTitle}} is an [[enemy]] that first appeared in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. This enemy is a [[Waddle Dee]] who is swinging from a rope in a back and forth motion. In ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' and ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', this motion is typically parallel to [[Kirby]]'s plane of operation, but in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' and ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'', Swinging Waddle Dees can swing in perpendicular instead, coming in and out of the background.
 
Swinging Waddle Dee's rope can be cut using any [[Copy Ability]] that can cut ropes in other contexts, like a [[Rope|String Platform]]. This will cause the swinging Waddle Dee to fall to the floor, then start walking as normal. Even without such an ability, however, Swinging Waddle Dee can still be defeated by attacking the Waddle Dee directly, and can still be inhaled. [[Swinging Waddle Doo|Waddle Doo]] can also be seen swinging from a rope occasionally.
 
Swinging Waddle Dee was originally created for ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', but goes unused in that game, even though Swinging Waddle Doo made its debut there.
 
==Game appearances==
===''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
Swinging Waddle Dee makes its first appearance in [[Revenge of the King]], appearing in [[Illusion Islands]] and [[The Revenge]]. Notably, [[Swinging Waddle Doo]] appeared in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' in [[The Great Cave Offensive]], but not Swinging Waddle Dee.


=== ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' ===
Rope Waddle Dee's rope can be cut using any [[Copy Ability]] that can cut ropes in other contexts, like a [[String Platform]]. This will cause the swinging Waddle Dee to fall to the floor, then start walking as normal. [[Waddle Doo]] can also be seen swinging from a rope occasionally.
[[File:KRtDL Dracula Waddle.png|thumb|150px|Screenshot of a Swinging Waddle Dee living up to its name in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.]]
Swinging Waddle Dee debuted in 3D in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', where it now swings from a rope made of twine rather than the old ball-composed chain. The rope can be cut using the appropriate Copy Ability, causing Swinging Waddle Dee to fall to the ground and become a normal Waddle Dee.
 
Swinging Waddle Dees appear only in two stages in the game; those being [[Onion Ocean - Stage 1]] and [[White Wafers - Stage 1]].
 
 
===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
Swinging Waddle Dee returns in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', now with the ability to swing backward and forward relative to the stage walkways. It only appears in two stages: [[Fine Fields - Stage 1]] and [[Fine Fields - Stage 6 EX]].
 
===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
Swinging Waddle Dee is not easy to find in this game; only appearing in [[Resolution Road - Stage 4]] and [[Rhythm Route - Stage 5]].
