'''King Dedede''' is a selectable character in the [[Air Ride]] mode of ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]''. Despite not being a "machine," King Dedede nonetheless appears on the screen while one selects a machine for [[Kirby]] to ride, and replaces Kirby if selected.

Despite not being a "machine," King Dedede nonetheless appears on the screen while one selects a machine for [[Kirby]] to ride, and replaces Kirby if selected. He shares this trait with the sole other unlockable character in the game, [[Meta Knight (Kirby Air Ride)|Meta Knight]]. Unlike Meta Knight, however, he also brings in his own unique machine to use. | ||
Aside from appearing as a playable character, a larger and more powerful version of him appears as an antagonist in [[Vs.

King Dedede, like the Wheelie Bike, has mostly average and balanced statistics. However, his HP, weight, offense, and top speed are all slightly higher than the Wheelie Bike, while his acceleration, turning, and jumping capability are all slightly lower than the Wheelie Bike. | King Dedede, like the Wheelie Bike, has mostly average and balanced statistics.

His notable characteristic as a racer is the inability to [[inhale]] or copy enemies, unlike Kirby. Despite this, he wields a [[hammer]] throughout all of races, which he seems to pull out of nowhere whenever it is used.

Despite this, he wields a [[hammer]] throughout all of races, which he seems to pull out of nowhere whenever it is used. The weapon functions in a similar way to Kirby's [[Sword#Kirby Air Ride|Sword ability]], or [[Meta Knight (Kirby Air Ride)|Meta Knight]]'s [[Galaxia]], in that it automatically activates whenever a target draws close enough. When the circumstances are right, Dedede whips out his mallet, and pummels the nearest foe with a single heavy strike. This is mainly different from executing sword strikes, in that it requires the target to be slightly closer, and has a much lower rate of fire, but dishes out much more damage with every individual hit. This weapon enables him to easily defeat common enemies to accelerate himself, as well as assault and slow his opponents, all without even needing to tap the charge button to slow him down. | ||
