- This article is about the Big Waddle Dees from various sprite-based Kirby games starting with Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. For the large Waddle Dee in Kirby: Triple Deluxe & Kirby: Planet Robobot, see Grandy. This should also not be confused with the Colossal Waddle Dee from Team Kirby Clash Deluxe. For information about Waddle Dees in a general context, see Waddle Dee.
Big Waddle Dee is an extra large Waddle Dee. How much larger it is depends on the game it appears in, but it is at least large enough to be noticeable when compared to its average Waddle Dee counterparts. Apart from the size, there are typically no visual distinctions between this Waddle Dee and the normal ones. However, its increased size usually means that it has more health and/or it takes longer for Kirby to Inhale. It may also become a Blaster Bullet on its own when spat out. Despite its size, Big Waddle Dee is usually no more a threat to Kirby than the normal ones.
Game appearances
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
Big Waddle Dees first appeared in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, and this game was additionally the first game to showcase any Waddle Dees of differing size, for that matter.

Kirby's Epic Yarn / Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn
In Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, while not explicitly referenced in Patch Plaza, a Big Waddle Dee appears at the end of the Castle Dedede stage. In this stage, it is guarding the throne room, presumably under orders from Yin-Yarn to do so. Big Waddle Dee cannot be unraveled using the Yarn Whip, but it can be defeated using the Weight or by tossing a yarn ball at it.
Yin-Yarn himself can conjure Big Waddle Dees during his boss fight. They will fall down from above and hurt Kirby or Prince Fluff should they land on them. Once these Big Waddle Dees land, they fall off the stage.
Kirby Mass Attack
Big Waddle Dees make an occasional appearance in Kirby Mass Attack, appearing in Dedede Resort along with their smaller cousins. Like other Waddle Dees in this game, Big Waddle Dees attack by throwing bombs, though theirs are naturally larger and more dangerous. Defeating a Big Waddle Dee confers 500 points onto the player.
Locations
In Kirby Mass Attack, Big Waddle Dee can be found in the following levels and stages:

Other appearances and similar
Later games in the series will often feature Waddle Dees of varying sizes. However, these appearances seldom change the actual characteristics of the Waddle Dee aside from how much physical space it takes up. There are a number of distinguished Waddle Dee entities that are larger than their standard counterparts, however:
- Block Waddle Dee - A large Waddle Dee who wears a Star Block for armor which is fought as a Mid-Boss in Kirby Mass Attack.
- Grandy - A woolly Waddle Dee who can be found in Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Kirby: Planet Robobot.
- Colossal Waddle Dee - The first enemy encounter in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe.
Formations such as Puppet Waddle Dee and Armor Dee also resemble larger Waddle Dees, but are naturally distinct from the actual large Waddle Dees.
