“ | 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. It was created by the Haltmann Works Company using King Dedede's D.N.A., 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.
Dedede Clone 2.0 sports a pale yellow coloration, and appears in Meta Knightmare Returns, as well as The True Arena. It has the ability to fire energy blasts from its hammer.
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. | ” | — Vs. Dedede Clone Pause Screen description in Kirby: Planet Robobot |

Once Dedede Clone is defeated, it collapses into three individual goo puddles.

(The details of that fight are on their own separate page.)
Other Appearances
“ | It has the look and voice of King Dedede, but not his soul. Some things can't be cloned. Some of the trial models were only interested in food, some were fearful of a certain insect, and all were imperfect. | ” | — Vs. Dedede Clone 2.0 Pause Screen description in Kirby: Planet Robobot |
Dedede Clone is also fought in The Arena. Likewise, its upgraded variant, Dedede Clone 2.0 is fought in both Meta Knightmare Returns and The True Arena.
Trivia
- Each time the Dedede Clones are knocked into blobs, they shrink in size, until they are roughly the same size as Kirby.
