'''Fossil Fools - Part I''' is the 75th episode of the ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' series. In this episode, a tyrannosaurus fossil is discovered in [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]], which gets everybody in the kingdom interested in dinosaurs; particularly [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]]. After looking through several picture books of dinosaurs, King Dedede becomes obsessed with finding live ones, but is told that they had all gone extinct. Refusing to accept this, he contacts [[Night Mare Enterprises]] to give him dinosaur [[monster]]s, but instead they send him a mad scientist named [[Doctor Moro]] who tricks [[Tiff]] and her friends to help him re-create dinosaurs using genetic engineering. Once the dinosaur eggs are secured, King Dedede and [[Escargoon]] host a dinosaur theme park in [[Babagahara]] and invite many of the townsfolk on a boat ride through the jungle, where they encounter a [[Chimera Dinosaurs|giant carnivorous dinosaur]] that resembles King Dedede. The episode ends on a cliffhanger here as the dinosaur attacks, which is followed up on in the next episode: [[Fossil Fools - Part II]].

The episode begins out in the [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]] countryside, where [[Tiff]] is reading a book about dinosaurs to [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]], [[Tuff]], and the [[Cappy (anime)|Cappy children]], who have never heard of dinosaurs before. As they do this, [[Tokkori]] flies by and mocks the notion that dinosaurs once roamed in Dream Land, and carelessly crashes into a cliff face. Kirby pulls Tokkori out of the dirt, but in the process causes the cliff to collapse and reveal a fossilized foot of a giant dinosaur. Later on, many Cappies from the village gather as formal excavations begin in the area to discover more fossils, led by [[Professor Curio]]. As he and the kids dig, they uncover more pieces of the skeleton, and try to reassemble it; assuming it to be similar to a tyrannosaurus. Shortly into this process, [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]] and [[Escargoon]] arrive in the [[Royal Racecar]] to find out what the Cappies are gathered for. King Dedede then decides to join in the excavation, and - due to extraordinary luck - manages to find the remaining pieces of the skeleton after collapsing the cliff further.

Later on, King Dedede becomes more interested in dinosaurs and starts perusing his castle library for more information. After going through several books, King Dedede dreams of riding a fire-breathing tyrannosaurus and battling other dinosaurs. The next day, he insists on going on an expedition to find more dinosaurs, but Escargoon points out that they are all extinct, and has Dedede confirm this with Tiff. Still not satisfied, Dedede then runs over to Professor Curio's shop and antagonizes the poor man, but Curio also affirms that all the dinosaurs went extinct. Saddened by this news, King Dedede runs crying out of the shop, insisting that there must be some dinosaurs left. He tries to convince people by mentioning the [[wikipedia:Loch Ness Monster|Loch Ness Monster]] on [[Channel DDD]], and promoting a book called "Dinosaur is Alive" that does not end up selling any copies. Later on, he tries to fool the Cappies by using a [[Waddle Dee (anime character)|Waddle Dee]]-powered crane to pound giant "footprints" into the ground, but they catch him in the act, and Dedede finally loses his temper.

*In the Japanese version, many objects (such as the covers of books) have text on them that is not present in the international versions.

*In the Japanese version, Doctor Moro's last two test questions are different, asking "The dumbest person alive is...?" and "The second-dumbest?". King Dedede and Escargoon answer with "His Majesty Dedede" and "Escargon", respectively.

*When Doctor Moro introduces himself to Tiff and the others, he claims that his laboratory is at Castle Dedede, when it is actually deep in the [[Babagahara]] woods. This appears to be a mistake on part of the English version, as the Japanese version does not state the laboratory to be at Castle Dedede.
