'''"Masked Dedede's Theme"''',<ref>[https://www.kirby.jp/music/score/eng/ ''King Dedede & Meta Knight Medley'' Sheet Music - Kirby Portal (official website)]</ref> also known as '''"The Masked King"''',<ref>''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition Compilation Soundtrack]]''</ref> is a music track commonly associated with [[King Dedede]]'s alter-ego, [[Masked Dedede]], as its name implies. It is essentially a remix of "[[King Dedede's Theme]]" played at a faster tempo. This theme is also often associated with other forms of King Dedede who wear different masks, such as [[Waning Crescent Masked Dedede & Waxing Crescent Masked Meta Knight|Waning Crescent Masked Dedede]] and [[Forgo Dedede]], as well as many alternate counterparts such as [[Shadow Dedede]], [[King D-Mind]], and [[Phantom Forgo Dedede]].

In ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', "[[King Dedede's Theme]]" is remixed to create a specific new version associated with [[Masked Dedede]] in [[Revenge of the King]]. It is arranged in a much faster tempo than the original version and appears to take influence from the remix of the theme from the SNES version of ''[[Kirby's Star Stacker (Super Famicom)|Kirby's Star Stacker]]''. The theme can be found as Track 087 in the [[Jukebox/Kirby Super Star|Sound Test]], Track 30 on the ''[[Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe Original Sound Track]]'', and Track 29 on the ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition Compilation Soundtrack]]''.

In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', during the second phases of both [[Parallel Dedede]] and [[Parallel Meta Knight]]'s battle, the music changes to a remix titled '''異空をかけた剣王との戦い''' (''Another Swordsman and King's World to Win''). It's a heavy metal version of "[[A Battle of Friends and Bonds]]", the main boss theme of ''Kirby Star Allies'', with segments of "Masked Dedede's Theme" and "My Friend and the Sunset". It can be found as Track 22 on disc 5 of the original soundtrack. In addition, when summoned by the [[Dream Palace|Dream Rod]] or when he is selected on the title screen of [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]], a quick remix of "Masked Dedede's Theme" plays as his jingle. This version is arranged by [[Hirokazu Ando]] and can be found as Track 130 in the Jukebox as of version 4.0.0. On ''[[Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack]]'', it is titled '''デデデ大王さまが、きてやったぜ！''' (King Dedede Has Arrived!).

In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', a new remix titled '''"Masked and Wild: D.D.D."''' plays during [[Forgo Dedede]]'s and [[Phantom Forgo Dedede]]'s second phases. It's arranged by [[Yuki Shimooka]] and can be found as Track 61 at the [[Jukebox/Kirby and the Forgotten Land|Waddle Live! Corner Stage]]. This version of the theme follows the original theme fairly closely, though it features a few different bridging interludes and includes King Dedede's "chanting" as an instrument.
