 This box: view  talk  edit 
Don't worry, though! This next one should quash your rebellion. He was created from the latest in nanogenetic technology. He's ruthless. He's driven. He's...a clone of royal proportions! Heehee! And it seems he has a long-standing grudge against you! Get ready for... Model #D-0030 Dedede Clone! Here, see that little pink nuisance? Destroy it!
— Susie in Kirby: Planet Robobot

Dedede Clone is a Boss fought in Kirby: Planet Robobot, appearing as the boss of Rhythm Route and is also fought in The Arena. It was created by the Haltmann Works Company using King Dedede's DNA, and filled with an urge to destroy Kirby.

Game appearances

Kirby: Planet Robobot

Dedede Clone first appears at the end of the Rhythm Route, appearing as a small purple blob inside a test tube held by Susie. Susie introduces it to Kirby, giving it the full designation Model #D-0030 Dedede Clone. She unleashes the clone from its test tube and gets away using her helicopter drone, leaving the clone to deal with Kirby.

Boss Fight

Susie somehow managed to acquire DNA from King Dedede, one of the strongest life-forms on the planet, in order to create this clone. It has the voice and look of the original Dedede...and may be even more powerful.

When the Dedede Clone is knocked down to half health, it momentarily turns back into goo, then reforms into three smaller Dedede clones. After their Hammer Farmer attack, all three clones attack independently of each other, though only two of them at most can attack at once. These clones can be individually stunned, turning back into goo for a short time. After recovering, they Super Dedede Jump back into the foreground. Each time the Dedede Clones are knocked into blobs, they shrink in size, until they are roughly the same size as Kirby.

The three split clones begin to sweep the stage with their hammers in Phase 2 of the fight.
