The way our daring king threw me into that elevator after I tripped...and made sure to protect me... I was just in awe! He's usually so carefree, perhaps a teeny-tiny bit lazy... But when it matters most, out leader always does his royal duty. Long live King Dedede!

— Minion Waddle Dee, in Kirby and the Forgotten Land
Minion Waddle Dee is a Waddle Dee who acts as King Dedede's loyal servant in Kirby and the Forgotten Land He first appears as one of the Captured Waddle Dees at the end of In The Presence of the King, reuniting with his king after he is defeated by Kirby and no longer being controlled by Fecto Forgo. Their reunion is short, however, as the Beast Pack members ambush the five, who are forced to escape through an elevator. Minion Waddle Dee ends up tripping while running away, and King Dedede decides to turn back and help him, throwing him into the elevator and fighting off the enemies while the rest escape.
Minion Waddle Dee is later seen again in Waddle Dee Town, serving the king while he relaxes. When first talked to, he thanks Kirby for saving Dedede and gives the Masked Hammerblueprint as a gift from the king to him.
