Bandana Waddle Dee (otherwise known as Bandana Dee or Waddle Dee) is both an antagonist and a playable protagonist in the Kirby series. He is a Waddle Dee with a blue bandana, as well as a spear in [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Template:KRDL KAW]] and Kirby Star Allies. He is loyal to King Dedede, but also good friends with Kirby.

Game Appearances

Kirby Super Star

This Waddle Dee makes a minor appearance in Megaton Punch, as the first enemy. He starts the battle by winking, waves if he wins, and faints if he loses.

Kirby Super Star Ultra

Kirby Super Star Ultra was this Waddle Dee's first major appearance. He appears only in two modes: The Arena and Revenge of the King. In The Arena, he replaces the regular Waddle Dee that appears as a joke boss in the original Kirby Super Star. He fills a similar role as the original "boss", but, unlike the latter, can move around. Waddle Dee is battled in The Revenge in Revenge of the King, and also has dialogue with the King concerning Kirby and Mid-Bosses. He appears again in Megaton Punch. He can be inhaled, but provides no Copy Ability. He is exactly the same as regular Waddle Dee, but has more HP and has a different sprite.

Kirby Mass Attack

Bandana Waddle Dee makes a cameo in the Meta Knight battle of the Strato Patrol EOS sub-game. He is seen cheering for him alongside Sailor Dee from Revenge of Meta Knight.

Bandana Waddle Dee (here referred to as just Waddle Dee) got an even bigger role in [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Template:KRDL KAW]], this time as a playable character. He can use his spear to attack, identically to the way Spear Kirby can. Unlike Kirby, Meta Knight or King Dedede, Waddle Dee doesn't fly, but he can make Infinity Jumps to keep up. In the introduction, he is seen helping King Dedede steal some cake.

Kirby's Dream Collection

Bandana Waddle Dee appears during the intro cinematic for the game, to present the title screen along with King Dedede, Meta Knight and Kirby.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe

Bandana Waddle Dee appears in stages to give Kirby healing items to store on the unknown reader's touch screen. These items appear in Assist Stars. He usually gives them prior to boss fights or mid-boss fights. If the unknown reader has streetpassed with someone before they meet Bandanna Waddle Dee, he will give better items. These include more powerful healing items, such as Energy Drinks or Maxim Tomatoes, and even Keychains. If the unknown reader has streetpassed with that person multiple times, the quality of the healing items get even better, and Bandanna Waddle Dee may even throw a Rare Keychain to Kirby.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

Up to three differently colTemplate:Oured Bandana Waddle Dees are playable in this game, and can assist Kirby by carrying him and tossing him, as well as spearing enemies that get in the way. They are controlled normally, unlike Kirby, who remains in ball form and must follow the stylus ropes.

Kirby: Planet Robobot

Bandana Waddle Dee performs the same function here as in Triple Deluxe, offering Kirby food items he can store at various points in the stages. Using Streetpass will improve the quality of the items as it did before.

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe

Bandana Waddle Dee can be found in the village, overseeing the Gem Apple Tree. He is the first character that Kirby talks to in the game, and explains the basics of the village, and the situation. From that point onward, he oversees Gem Apple harvesting, giving Kirby the yield every time it's ready.

Kirby: Battle Royale

A still from the introduction, as Kirby bumps into Bandana Waddle Dee.

Bandana Dee serves a prominent role in the single player mode, Dedede's Cake Royale. Kirby meets up with him on the way to the arena, finding him exhausted, having 'walked all night long' to get there. As such, Kirby agrees to carry him for a while down the trail. After Kirby deals with an enemy ambush, including another blue Kirby, the Warp Star appears to take them both to the arena.

From here on, Bandana Waddle Dee serves as an ally to Kirby in team matches. Unlike in previous incarnations, Bandana Dee uses a Parasol instead of a Spear.

While the unknown reader cannot play as Bandana Waddle Dee, a hatless Waddle Dee is available who plays much the same.

Kirby Star Allies

Is this Dream Friend making a special appearance? This fella was selected to represent the Waddle Dees as they accept their perfect attendance award for the Kirby series. When asked, he said, "Oh, I couldn't!" But he was practicing his spear moves at the time...
— Kirby Star Allies Pause Description


Bandana Waddle Dee appears as a Dream Friend in this title, recruitable from a Dream Palace. His move-set appears to be largely the same as it was in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, thus being the only Spear-wielding character in the game. Bandana Waddle Dee is also playable in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! once he and the other Dream Friends are unlocked for that mode.
