Plot synopsis

Chapter 1: King Dedede's Great Fight

King Dedede is defeated by Whispy Woods.

Bandana Waddle Dee watches King Dedede lying in his bed and asks him if he still have fever. King Dedede tells him that he is hungry and sends him to serve him breakfast, which the Waddle Dees bring him. Bandana Waddle Dee is relieved that Dedede returned to himself, since he had been bitten by a poisonous insect that made him have a fever and lose his appetite. To find a cure, the Waddle Dees searched everywhere in Castle Dedede, and thanks to their help, King Dedede returned to normal. After recovering, King Dedede proclaims that he will go outside and check on the residences of Dream Land, cheered by the Waddle Dees.

King Dedede goes to Chef Kawasaki's restaurant to have another breakfast, because he wants to make up for not eating while ill. In his way, he notices Whispy Woods dozing off and plucks a fruit from him. This wakes Whispy Woods wake up and shake his branches, accidentally making a fruit fall on Dedede's head. They begin to argue and Whispy Woods shoot an air bullet at Dedede, which hit him and cause him to fall. Realizing that he cannot win the fight, King Dedede runs away while swearing that he will never eat Whispy Woods' fruits again.

In his restaurant, Chef Kawasaki finishes baking a pie and is interrupted by King Dedede. King Dedede orders a lot of food and notices the scent of the pie. Chef Kawasaki asks Dedede to taste is pie, and Dedede happily agrees. Kawasaki tells him that he made the pie from the fruits of Whispy Woods, which makes Dedede mad, and he refuses to eat the pie. When Chef Kawasaki brings Dedede his food, he wonders why Dedede was so mad about the pie.

After King Dedede leaves, Kirby comes to the restaurant and requests the morning and lunch sets. Chef Kawasaki asks him to taste the pie, and Kirby agrees. Kirby tries to suck up the pie, but Chef Kawasaki attacks so he won't swallow it so quickly. Kirby eats the pie with a knife and a fork and enjoys it, calling it the best dessert Kawasaki ever made. Chef Kawasaki tells Kirby about King Dedede refusal to eat the pie and gets the idea that his taste buds have changed due to the insect bite, making him not like Whispy Woods' fruits anymore. After Chef Kawasaki tells Kirby that he needs to stock up ingredients so everyone could try the pie, Kirby agree to help him because he wants to eat more of the pie.

Chapter 2: Kirby's Great Idea!

Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee gather fruits from Whispy Woods.

Kirby and Chef Kawasaki come to Whispy Woods, who is in a bad mood, and they tell him that they came to collect fruits for the pie. Hearing them complementing the taste of the pie and his fruits, Whispy Woods becomes more cheerful and shakes off fruits which Kirby and Chef Kawasaki gather. After they fill up their basket, they thank Whispy and leave.

Whispy Woods' pies become popular in Dream Land, bringing a lot of residents into Kawasaki's restaurant. Chef Kawasaki doesn't have time to leave the restaurant because of its popularity and tasks Kirby to collect Whispy Woods' fruits for him. While going to Whispy Woods, Kirby meets Bandana Waddle Dee, who tells him that he wanted to taste the new pie but couldn't because King Dedede doesn't allow them to eat Whispy's fruits since their fight. Waddle Dee asks Kirby to join him and help carry the heavy basket, since he is good at carrying heavy things. They both come to Whispy Woods, but Whispy Woods becomes mad seeing Bandana Waddle Dee, asking him if King Dedede sent him to steal his fruits. Kirby tells Whispy Woods that Waddle Dee only came to help, but Whispy refuses to give the fruit to anyone who works for Dedede. Kirby becomes mad and tells Whispy that if he wants to bother Waddle Dee, he will need to face him. Seeing that, Whispy Woods becomes scared and quickly apologizes. Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee gather the fruits together and take them to the restaurant, but the fruits run out quickly and they need to go back and forth to refill the stock.

After becoming tired from working so much, Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee decide to rest in front of the restaurant. They talk about how exhausting this work is and how it is not close to being over. Waddle Dee wishes that Whispy Woods was closer to the restaurant so their walk would be shorter. From that Kirby gets the idea to move the restaurant and tells Chef Kawasaki about it. Chef Kawasaki tells Kirby that it won't be easy to move the restaurant because he spent much work perfecting the place. Instead, Kawasaki suggests that they should open a new restaurant around Whispy Woods. Kirby tells him that he will take care of the new place, but Chef Kawasaki doesn't trust him because of his terrible cooking skills. Bandana Waddle Dee offers to help too, and Chef Kawasaki becomes less worried because Waddle Dee is more reliable. Chef Kawasaki tells them that he won't be able to help them much, but Kirby tells him that it is not a problem.

Chapter 3: The Rumored Kirby Café

King Dedede is angry about the Kirby Café.

Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee are working on the new café near Whispy Woods, using blueprints that Waddle Dee have made to build the furniture. While Waddle Dee builds the chairs slowly yet pedantically, Kirby builds them quickly, but doesn't reach a good quality. Bandana Waddle Dee tells Kirby to try and sit on the chair that he built, and when he does, it collapses. Whispy Woods laughs at Kirby and tells him to work harder, which he starts doing. While they work, Bronto Burt flies above their head and asks them what they are doing. Kirby answers him that they are building a new café and tells him to go visit when it is finished. From seeing Waddle Dee, Bronto Burt questions if it was King Dedede's idea, which makes Whispy Woods furious. Whispy tells him to not mention Dedede's name and Bronto Burt flies away, saying that he will let everyone know about the new café.

A few days later, while Chef Kawasaki thinks about how to call the new café, he hears the customers of his restaurant talking about it and calling it "Kirby Café", since it has been built by Kirby and Waddle Dee. Chef Kawasaki becomes disappointed at first from the name but reconsiders it after thinking about how much Kirby has helped with its making. Ideas about Kirby themed food start flooding Kawasaki head, making him enthusiastic.

The word about the Kirby Café spread over to King Dedede, who calls Bandana Waddle Dee just before he leaves to help with the café to tell that he has been slacking off. Waddle Dee tells him that he has done everything already. Dedede tells him that cannot leave Castle Dedede without his permission and that he heard that he went to Whispy Woods every day and helped build the café. Dedede is mad that Whispy Woods doesn't allow him to enter the café and decides that he will build a better café instead. Waddle Dee tries to explain everything, but Dedede doesn't listen. He tells Waddle Dee that he will join him and not work for Whispy Woods anymore, which Waddle Dee agrees to out of fear. Dedede tells him to get Chef Kawasaki to help them, but Waddle Dee explains that the café under Whispy is for Kawasaki. Afraid of getting banned from the restaurant, Dedede gives up on him and tell Waddle Dee to gather everyone he can.

Bandana Waddle Dee tells the people at the café that he cannot help them any longer, which makes them sad. Whispy tells him that no matter how much he will try, King Dedede cannot compete with the taste of his fruits. Bandana Dee goes to Burning Leo and tell him about Dedede's Café, but he is disgusted and tell him that he would rather go to the Kirby Café. Waddle Dee tries to convince him to help with Dedede's Café, but burning Leo refuses no matter what he offers, since he doesn't want to eat food made by Dedede. Waddle Dee tells him that Dedede won't be the one cooking, but rather the Waddle Dees, who make food him for every day, which start to convince him. After hearing that they will make him his favorite desserts, Burning Leo agrees to join. Waddle Dee comes to ask Chilly to help with Dedede's Café, and he also doesn't want to join. But after telling him the same as he told to Burning Leo, he agrees to help too.

Chapter 4: A Powerful Enemy? Dedede Café

Bandana Waddle Dee is horrified by King Dedede's food ideas.

Bandana Waddle Dee gathers Sir Kibble, Broom Hatter and Knuckle Joe in Castle Dedede. King Dedede thanks them all for coming, not hearing Burning Leo complains about him. He tells them that the Café would be called “Dedede Café” and be in the garden of Castle Dedede. Everyone goes to the garden to start working on the café according to Waddle Dee's blueprints. After showing King Dedede the sign that he designed for the café, Dedede tells him that the sign is too plain and decides to add light bulbs to it, wanting to use Sparky as an energy source. He also decides to change the design of the furniture to make them flashier by making them jump up and down using Bouncy, not caring that the food on them would be destroyed. When thing about the menu, King Dedede thinks about making everything out of meat, even if they would taste the same as the main course. Bandana Waddle Dee is concerned about all those decisions but is afraid to disobey.

Chef Kawasaki takes a break from working and visits Whispy Woods, where he sees Kirby struggling to make chairs without Bandana Waddle Dee. Chef Kawasaki brings Kirby a new pizza with fruit toppings as thanks for helping him. As Kirby prepares to inhale the pizza whole, Kawasaki tells him once again to take his time. Chef Kawasaki tells him that he wants to make the pizza the center piece of the café. Kirby greatly enjoys its taste and wants more. As Chef Kawasaki is about to leave, Bronto Burt comes and tells them the news that most of the residents were turned into staff of the Dedede Café and about Dedede's terrible restaurant planning. Chef Kawasaki is horrified by the thought of the meat food items, but Kirby thinks that it sounds tasty. Kirby starts to think that their menu is not good enough and wants to come up with a new menu. Chef Kawasaki tells him that he will handle that, but Kirby is confident in his cooking skills, even if in reality they are terrible. Kirby starts to suggest terrible food idea, and when Bronto Burt asks for Whispy Woods' opinion, he doesn't reply. They ask him what is wrong and see that he looks ill. Whispy tells that he is just sleepy.

Chapter 5: Cooking Showdown and Big Trouble

The sick Whispy Wood thanks Kirby and Chef Kawasaki.

The two cafés become the talk of the town, which makes King Dedede feel nervous. He calls Bandana Waddle Dee and tells him that he cannot let Kirby Café be more successful than Dedede Café. He gets the idea to hold a cooking competition to see which of them has the best café. Waddle Dee thinks he doesn't have a chance to win Chef Kawasaki, so he tries to get Dedede to reconsider, but he doesn't. Waddle Dee asks who will be the judge, and King Dedede suggests Meta Knight, because he is honest. Waddle Dee worries because Meta Knight is a harsh judge, but Dedede sticks to his opinion. He tells Waddle Dee to call Kirby while he contacts Meta Knight.

After hearing King Dedede's story, Meta Knight sighs and tells him that he has no time to play part in those petty games and that he doesn't care which café will win. When Dedede is about to end their conversation, Captain Vul interrupts to tell Meta Knight that Kawasaki will put his all into the competition to make the best dessert. He tells him that being able to differentiate the quality of the dessert demands concentration, which makes it good for his training. Meta Knight changes his mind and decides to be the judge. After ending the conversation, the Meta-Knights are excited by the thought of having desserts. Meta tells them that he will let them taste the desserts too, but that they should see it as part of their training.

Chef Kawasaki visits Whispy Wood and finds Kirby looking at him with a serious expression. When Kawasaki offers Kirby to try a new pizza, he doesn't get excited. Kirby tells him that Whispy Wood feels ill. When Chef Kawasaki eats Whispy's fruits, they are sour. Bandana Waddle Dee comes too to tell them about the cooking competition that King Dedede decided to have between them. Kirby becomes excited and except the challenge and Chef Kawasaki agrees too. Waddle Dee tells them that the competition will be in a week, and in it the two cafés will make three dishes: a main course, a drink, and a dessert. After Waddle Dee leaves, Chef Kawasaki tells Kirby that if Whispy Woods won't heal and his fruits will remain sour, they won't be able to make a good dessert with them and will need to use a different fruit. Kirby refuses to let this happen. Whispy Woods thanks Kirby and tells them that he will shake off the illness in no time. Kirby and Chef Kawasaki tell him that they will find medicine for him.
