Iceberg is the fifth level in Kirby's Dream Land 3. It is an area dominated by ice and water, with King Dedede's castle at the far end of it. The Boss of this level is King Dedede. This level follows Cloudy Park and (granted all of the Heart Stars were collected) is followed by Hyper Zone.
Cut-scene
Kirby is building a snowman with ChuChu, Nago and Pitch. Gooey accidentally knocks it over and gets covered in snow, but the others put him back on the snowman thinking it just rolled off. Once they put the hat on, Gooey makes a face similar to a Peloo that pops out of the snowman, which surprises the group.

Boss: King Dedede
At the top of his castle, Kirby faces off against King Dedede, who once again has been possessed by Dark Matter. He attacks in two phases.
In the first phase, King Dedede is on the ground, and attacks in his usual manner, by swinging his hammer, jumping about, and trying to inhale Kirby. All but the last of these moves leave Recoil Stars on impact.
In the second phase, King Dedede starts to float about in the air, as Dark Matter gains full control. He attacks in two ways, either by having his belly open up to try and munch Kirby, or by having his belly turn into an eye that shoots dark orbs. These orbs home in on Kirby, but they can be inhaled and spat back.
Once King Dedede is down, he will lay there, motionless. If Kirby did not collect all the Heart Stars prior to this encounter, this is where the game ends. Otherwise, he can progress to the last level in the game, Hyper Zone.
