'''''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''''' is a side-scrolling platformer in the main [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] featuring [[Kirby]] and some of his friends, produced by [[HAL Laboratory]] and initially released in 2000 and 2001 for the [[Nintendo 64]]. It is notable for being the first {{installment}} in the series to depict Kirby and his surroundings in full 3D, although only for visual effects. Like ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' before it, ''Kirby 64'' was not directed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]], but instead by [[Shinichi Shimomura]]. Unlike those titles, however, ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' does not feature [[Animal Friend]]s with which to combine with and alter Kirby's [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]]. Instead, Kirby does this himself by combining abilities together into [[Power Combo]]s. This results in 36 total unique abilities that Kirby can use in the game.
'''King Dedede''' ('''King DeDeDe''' in some older games; sometimes shortened to '''Dedede''') is a hammer-wielding portly blue creature with penguin-like qualities, who proclaims himself king of [[Dream Land]]. He is a recurring villain and/or ally, is usually confronted in a boss fight, and serves as [[Kirby]]'s "arch frenemy". Though he often engages in trouble-making, mostly involving stealing other people's food, he has also done some noble acts, such as trying to seal away [[Nightmare]], helping Kirby battle [[Queen Sectonia]], and accompanying Kirby in a few of his adventures. King Dedede lives in a [[Castle Dedede|castle atop Mt. Dedede]] with a retinue of [[Waddle Dee]]s acting as his servants.


''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' departs from earlier games in the series in other ways as well. In addition to being the first 3-D game in the series, it also is the first game to give Kirby an upper limit to how high he can [[hover]], the first game to allow him to [[inhale]] underwater, the first game to let him hold enemies and objects over his head or toss them, and the first game in the series to give him [[Kirby's voice|a voice]] courtesy of [[Makiko Ohmoto]]. ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' also features three [[Sub-Game]]s which can be played with up to four players, completely separate from the main game.
Having first debuted in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' along with [[Kirby|the game's namesake]], King Dedede is arguably the second-most well-recognized character from the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. He is often portrayed as a comic foil in addition to his role as a villain, which makes him comparable to [[mariowiki:Bowser|Bowser]] from the [[mariowiki:Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. King Dedede has appeared in one form or another in nearly every game in the series, and has even had a whole [[Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe|spin-off game]] devoted to him. In older games, he was seldom playable, but this changed in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''; with the king being playable in most of his subsequent appearances.

King Dedede (King DeDeDe in some older games; sometimes shortened to Dedede) is a hammer-wielding portly blue creature with penguin-like qualities, who proclaims himself king of Dream Land. He is a recurring villain and/or ally, is usually confronted in a boss fight, and serves as Kirby's "arch frenemy". Though he often engages in trouble-making, mostly involving stealing other people's food, he has also done some noble acts, such as trying to seal away Nightmare, helping Kirby battle Queen Sectonia, and accompanying Kirby in a few of his adventures. King Dedede lives in a castle atop Mt. Dedede with a retinue of Waddle Dees acting as his servants.

Having first debuted in Kirby's Dream Land along with the game's namesake, King Dedede is arguably the second-most well-recognized character from the Kirby series. He is often portrayed as a comic foil in addition to his role as a villain, which makes him comparable to Bowser from the Mario franchise. King Dedede has appeared in one form or another in nearly every game in the series, and has even had a whole spin-off game devoted to him. In older games, he was seldom playable, but this changed in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards; with the king being playable in most of his subsequent appearances.
