Keke makes her first game appearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. She gives the rare [[Clean]] [[Copy Ability|ability]] when [[inhale]]d, being one of two enemies to yield it, the other being [[Broom Hatter]]. She usually appears in [[Cloudy Park (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Cloudy Park]], but can also appear anywhere else. Defeating Keke causes her to roll away (like Ado and [[Adeleine]] (''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'') do upon their defeat), but she can still damage [[Kirby]] if they collide. Additionally, Keke's broom explodes, but if she is subjected to his [[inhale]], Kirby just swallows the broom.
KeKe makes her first game appearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', drifting vaguely towards Kirby when present. She gives the [[Clean]] [[Copy Ability|ability]] when she or her broom is [[inhale]]d. If inhaled normally, only KeKe's broom will be inhaled, but attacking or bumping into KeKe's broom causes it to explode, allowing KeKe herself to be inhaled. Defeating KeKe causes her to roll away (like [[Ado]] and [[Adeleine]] do upon their defeat), but she can still damage [[Kirby]] if she collides with him.
