WiKirby:April Fools/2024/Arena Waddle Dee: Difference between revisions

I planned to do all the game appearances in order so this made it a fair bit more confusing

Arena Waddle Dee (yet again referred to as Bandana Waddle Dee for some reason) appears fully playable in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', albeit only by your younger sibling, as he is stuck as P2. This time, due to nobody in the New World knowing that rain exists (leading to parasols being redundant), Arena Waddle Dee finally gets to use his spear in more than two dimensions! Alas, HAL knew how powerful he would be with this new 3D spear, and thus they made it so that he could not do anything worth noting. He can't talk to anyone, he can't use Mouthful Mode, he doesn't even have evolutions for his spear! Well, I guess his Arena Copter can rain spears now...
Arena Waddle Dee (and definitely not "Bandana Waddle Dee") once again appears as a playable character in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', albeit only by your younger sibling, as he is stuck as player 2. This time, due to nobody in the [[new world]] knowing that rain exists (leading to [[parasol]]s being redundant), Arena Waddle Dee finally gets to use his spear in more than two dimensions! Unfortunately, [[HAL Laboratory]] knew how powerful he would be with a three-dimensional spear, so they made it very lacking. Unlike [[Kirby]] who can now [[Evolved Copy Ability|evolve his Copy Abilities]], Arena Waddle Dee's spear always stays the exact same. He may say that "When [Kirby uses] an evolved Copy Ability, I grow a bit stronger too!", but this is a complete lie.<ref>[https://twitter.com/JC_Players_/status/1704658501329404390 The Dee is a lie.]</ref>


However, on the bright side, there's an entire town dedicated to Arena Waddle Dee: [[Waddle Dee Town]]! Wait, what do you mean "it's named after Waddle Dees in general"? As stated a mere game ago, Arena Waddle Dee is the ''main representative'' of the Waddle Dees, thus, it would be improper ''not'' to name it after him! Within Waddle Dee Town's borders, one can encounter many of Arena Waddle Dee's friends and family. One particular character of note is [[Weapons-Shop Waddle Dee]], who, according to a Nintendo Dream issue that nobody could be bothered to search for, actually designed Arena Waddle Dee's spear! He must've felt really betrayed when Arena Waddle Dee used a parasol instead in the hit game [[Kirby Battle Royale]] for the Nintendo 3DS. Perhaps ''this'' is the true reason why Arena Waddle Dee has no spear evolution?
However, on the bright side, there's an entire town dedicated to Arena Waddle Dee: [[Waddle Dee Town]]! Just ignore the fact that he's far from the only [[Waddle Dee]] living in the town, and that unlike Kirby and [[Elfilin]], he doesn't even get his own golden statue, despite also helping them throughout the whole journey.

Speaking of Waddle Dee Town, the [[Colosseum]] is a literal Arena, and since you can play as Arena Waddle Dee in the Colosseum, you can finally witness what it's like for "fearsome" beasts like [[Gorimondo]] and [[Leongar]] to be on the receiving end of Arena Waddle Dee's pure Arena-ness. Unfortunately, due to HAL's meddling, Arena Waddle Dee does 0.6x damage when he is active. Though, one could say that this was done to stop players from playing as Arena Waddle Dee and using his totally-real Epic Arena Blast to cleave through the Arena.
Speaking of Waddle Dee Town, the [[Colosseum]] is a literal arena, and thus looks very similar to the one in [[The Arena]] in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', which may mean that instead of creating a golden statue of Arena Waddle Dee, they created a whole arena based on him! Even though, unlike in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', Arena Waddle Dee can't be used as player 1 in this mode, he is still very useful in [[Speedrunning|speedruns]], due to him being able to deal some finish damage after Kirby uses [[Crash]].

!Description
|-
|'''ヤリつき'''<br>''Spear Thrust''
|B/Y/E
|Arena Waddle Dee stabs people (well, animals) are usual. By tilting the L-Stick to a different direction and pressing B, he can stab even more efficiently.
|-
|'''ワド{{furi|百|ひゃく}}れつスピア〜きゅうしょつき'''<br>''Multispam Attack 3D''
|B/Y + B/Y after Spear Thrust
|Arena Waddle Dee stabs so fast it's practically invisible.
|-
|'''{{furi|回|かい}}てんなぎはらい〜いっとうりょうだん'''<br>''Turn Around Mow Down - Cut in Half''
|B/Y after Multispear Thrust or B/Y after [[dodge|slowing down time]]
|This attack has a funny name.
|-
|'''ワドコプター'''<br>''Arena Copter''
|Hold B for a NANOSCOPIC amount of time and release
|Arena Waddle Dee believes he can fly, and possibly even touch the sky.
|-
|'''コプターハードレイン'''<br>''Arena Hard Rain''
|Hold B for an INFINITE amount of time and (somehow) release
|Those new worldians wished they had a parasol now.
|-
|'''{{furi|大地|だいち}}づき'''<br>''Ground Thrust''
|[[Kirby Slide|Slide]] ([[Guard (enemy)|Guard]] + A)
|Arena Waddle Dee's best attack is now slightly worse, but still pretty good. By pressing A during Ground Thrust, he cancels the move and performs the pole vault jump, which is still unmentioned in-game, but so is every other attack so it can be forgiven.
|-
|'''{{furi|月|つき}}おとし'''<br>''Moon Drop''
|B/Y during any attack imaginable
|Arena Waddle Dee falls, but fast, but again.
|-
|'''ワドスピアスロー'''<br>''Arena Spear Throw''
|Tilt L-Stick + hold B/Y a time and release
|Arena Waddle Dee throws stuff, but in three dimensions.
*This, along with Arena Triple Throw, is the only thing he can do during certain [[Mouthful Mode]]s, which is very useless since Kirby can always defeat enemies just by running into them hard enough.
|-
|'''ワドトリプルスロー'''<br>''Arena Triple Throw''
|Tilt L-Stick + hold B/Y a more time and release
|Arena Waddle Dee throws three stuff, but still in three dimensions.
*Second verse, same as the first.
