Dedede's Drum Dash is a Sub-Game in Kirby Triple Deluxe where the player controls King Dedede in a rhythm-based challenge involving bouncing along drums, collecting coins, and avoiding enemies to the beat of the music that is playing. There are a total of three normal stages and an extra stage that must be unlocked, with each stage being faster than the last. Clearing a stage gives a medal depending on how many points were earned, ranging from bronze up to platinum. Points are earned in stages by collecting coins, completing the stage quickly, and clapping at the peak of each jump (a move referred to as a Back-beat). If King Dedede takes damage, points are lost, and he can only be hit a certain number of times before being defeated and failing the stage, unless he falls into a pit in which case he is immediately defeated.
A standalone expanded version of this game for the 3DS eShop titled Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe would later be released that has more stages and other added features.
Points
At the end of each stage, there are four bonus objectives that, if met, will provide a bonus score. They are as follows:
- Time Bonus - Stage is complete with at least 30 seconds remaining.
- No Damage - Dedede reaches the end without taking a hit.
- All Coins - Dedede collects every Musical Coin in the stage.
- Backbeat Perfect - Every Backbeat is hit at the right time during the stage.
