Having debuted in the series' first installment, ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', King Dedede is arguably the most recognizable character from the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] | Having debuted in the series' first installment, ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', King Dedede is arguably the most recognizable character from the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] besides the pink hero himself, having appeared in one form or another nearly every game in the series (except ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' and ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]''), though not all of those appearances are major roles. He is also the series' only character besides Kirby to have starred in his own game, namely the spin-off ''[[Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe]]''. He is often portrayed as a comic foil to Kirby, especially in spin-off titles. In older games, he was seldom playable, but this changed starting with ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', with the king being playable in many of his subsequent appearances. | ||
