===''Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===

[[File:King Dedede NinDL boss fight.png|thumb|right|200px|Kirby battling [[King Dedede]] at the Fountain of Dreams (''Nightmare in Dream Land'').]]

However, unknown to Kirby, King Dedede stole the Star Rod in order to save Dream Land from the clutches of [[Nightmare]]. The misunderstanding results in Kirby defeating King Dedede at [[Rainbow Resort]] and retrieving all seven pieces of the Star Rod. As Kirby walks towards the Fountain of Dreams to return the Star Rod, King Dedede tries to hold him back and begs him to drop his ambitions. However, Kirby refuses to listen and releases Nightmare as a result. Kirby manages to defeat Nightmare with the Star Rod's help, and at the end, King Dedede's motivations of stealing it are finally revealed. He and Kirby can be seen flying next to each other during the credits.

===''Kirby's Pinball Land''===

[[File:Pinball Land Dedede.jpg|thumb|right|150px|King Dedede can conjure lightning in his boss fight in ''Kirby's Pinball Land''.]]

This fight takes place in two phases. In the first, King Dedede poses in a spotlight and tosses bombs at the flippers to temporarily disable them. After five hits, the spot light gives way to the fully-lit boxing ring. Here, King Dedede has two different methods of attack. He can either puff up and chase Kirby around, or cast lightning from his hands to disable the flippers while held. He can also use his [[Super Dedede Jump]] to re-position himself. After 18 more hits, Dedede is defeated. He lands out in a checkerboard field, and Kirby has him cornered, when a [[Kabu]] jumps from behind and flattens Kirby, allowing Dedede to escape with his entourage. From there, the game resets.

====Spring Breeze====

[[Spring Breeze]], being a reimagining of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', features King Dedede in his old role as the food-stealing villain. He engages Kirby in a boxing ring inside his castle on [[Mt. Dedede]], acting as the final boss of Spring Breeze. Much like in ''Kirby's Dream Land'', King Dedede attacks Kirby with his hammer, as well as by attempting to jump on or inhale the pink hero, requiring Kirby to inhale the stars created by some of his attacks and spit them back or make use of a Copy Ability. As Dedede gets stunned briefly and stops what he is doing whenever he takes damage, using a fast Copy Ability makes it is possible for Kirby to entirely keep him from attacking.

In [[Gourmet Race]], Kirby confronts King Dedede in three different stages, [[Pumpkin Grand]], [[Corn Hall]], and [[Onion Garden]], where the two of them then engage in a race for [[food|snacks]]. In order to emerge victorious, Kirby must collect more food than the king and beat him to the finish line.

====Revenge of the King====

Dedede himself does not feature in the game after this point, but his genetic information is stolen by Haltmann Works to create the [[Dedede Clone]]. By the end of the game, he is shown to have been knocked unconscious the entire time, and wakes up in his castle's rubble after [[Pop Star]] is returned to normal.

{{Quote|Surely King Dedede would never steal all the food in the kingdom and hoard it for himself... Why would he do such a vile deed?! Such questions will have to wait, as the king is coming for his eternal rival with all the fury of a wild beast!|Pause screen description from ''Star Allies''}}

The first phase of the battle plays out as usual, with Dedede attacking using Head Slides, Dedede Jumps, his hammer and inhale.
