Team DDD: Difference between revisions

The number of Team DDD varies on difficulty. Some elements of the stage are also changed on 'Very Hard'.

If [[Kirby]] is knocked out in this final battle and the player selects continue, Team DDD will reduce their numbers to a lower level of difficulty in subsequent rematches. The number of Dededes fought cannot be any lower than 24.

|'''Hammer'''||All difficulties||King Dedede raises his hammer and slams the ground with it, creating a Dropped Star.<br> If Kirby is airborne when King Dedede is raising his hammer, he will jump up and swing the hammer in midair. When he lands, a shock wave emanates from it, which creates a drop star when it gets to the end of the screen.<br> In the Hard and Very Hard difficulties, when he attacks on the ground, he swings his hammer twice, creating one small Small Dropped Star that disappears quickly after the first swing, and then a normal one after the second swing.

|'''Super Dedede Jump'''||All except Very Hard||King Dedede leaps into the air and then lands suddenly in another location, creating two Dropped Stars.<br> He may do this three times in succession. In the Hard and Very Hard difficulties, the screen rumbles when he lands, and if the attack hits Kirby, he is sent flying.<br>

|'''Hammer Tornado'''||All difficulties||King Dedede spins rapidly with his hammer along the ground. He then ascends in the air while spinning and throws 4 "[[Keychain]]s of Glory" onto the screen to hinder the player's sight.<br> After that, he lands on the ground and gets dizzy for some seconds. He takes little to no damage while spinning.<br> In the Very Hard difficulty, he spins in the ground a bit more than in lower difficulties before ascending.

**Team DDD24–47's references [[Soul of Sectonia]]'s special page, parodying how Sectonia forgot her true form by saying that Dedede forgot that he was a final boss.<ref>{{quote|元祖ラスボス、{{color|orange|夢の泉}}の力をかりて {{color|orange|大量チーム}}で大あばれ！いくどとなく やぶれつづけ、もはや 自分が{{color|orange|ラスボス}}で あったことも わすれていたが… 今日こそ 大王のいじ、{{color|orange|チームのきずな}}、見せてやる！<br>The original final boss is using the power of the {{color|orange|Fountain of Dreams}} to unleash a huge attack with {{color|orange|a team of massive numbers!}} I've failed countless times, and I'd forgotten I was the final boss...

**Team DDD64's has several specific references to Dedede's dialogue in [[The Revenge]] from [[Revenge of the King]], as well as certain lines from [[Revenge of Meta Knight]] and ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''.<ref>{{quote|元祖ラスボス、{{color|orange|大王}}さまの {{color|orange|大逆襲。}}…さあ、次はお前たちの番だ！と、言っても 仲間は{{color|orange|全員ミニサイズ。}}不覚だが やむをえない。やい、しにぞこないの{{color|orange|ピンクだま！}} {{color|orange|チーム決戦}}の機は熟したぞ！ いざ…{{color|orange|やらいでか！}}<br>The original final boss, his majesty, the {{color|orange|Great King}}'s {{color|orange|big revenge.}}¹ "...So, it's your turn next!"² ...he says, but his friends are {{color|orange|all miniature.}} It's a blunder, but he has no choice.³ Hey, you're about to perish,⁴ {{color|orange|you pink lump!}}⁵ The time has come for a {{color|orange|team showdown!}}⁶ Now... {{color|orange|here we go!}}⁷|'''VS Team DDD64''' Special Page (Japanese version)}}<br>

<small>¹ "His majesty, the Great King's big revenge" (大王さまの大逆襲) references both what Bandana Waddle Dee calls him in Revenge of the King (大王さま ''his majesty, the Great King'') as well the Japanese name of Revenge of the King (大王の逆襲 ''The Great King's Revenge'').<br>
