|[[Kirby Comes to Cappy Town]]
|{{center|[[File:E1 King Dedede.png|100px]]}}
|Primary character
|King Dedede is introduced in the anime series as a selfish and brash tyrant who turns a blind eye to his peoples' suffering, tacitly allowing his pet monster [[Octacon]] to eat Mayor Len's sheep at night. When the people of Cappy Town turn to [[Kabu (anime character)|Kabu]] for guidance, King Dedede threatens to destroy this challenger to his authority, when he is interrupted by Kirby's crash landing in Dream Land. King Dedede reacts to this by batting the confused alien visitor into a ravine with his hammer, and has his troops confiscate Kirby's ruined starship, taking it to his castle to tinker with it and have it trapped with a bomb. Later on, King Dedede nearly makes off with Kirby's [[Warp Star]], which was kept in the starship, but drops it when his pet Octacon grows hostile and attacks the castle. After the monster is defeated by Kirby, King Dedede has the bomb planted in Kirby's Starship detonated when the pink puffball attempts to fly away in it, but all this does is cause the ship to crash into the King's [[Armored Vehicle]] and force Kirby to stay in Dream Land for a while longer.

|Primary character
|In this episode, King Dedede schemes to undermine Kirby by sabotaging all his attempts to find a role within Cappy Town, forcing Kirby out of every job he attempts to take up. When it is planned to build Kirby a house outside of town instead, King Dedede shows up again to destroy the house, and then sends the monster [[Blocky]] to finish the job by squishing Kirby into a pulp. Blocky is ultimately defeated, however, leaving the King to sulk over his expensive failure.

When it becomes clear that the masked swordsman is too "incompetent" to do this job, Dedede orders the monster [[Bugzzy]] to take care of business. Kirby defeats Bugzzy, however, and Meta Knight adds insult to injury by kicking King Dedede's vehicle down a steep slope with him and Escargoon still in it.

|{{center|[[File:E4 King Dedede.png|100px]]}}

|In this episode, King Dedede confronts Tiff about her relationship to Kirby, and threatens to sabotage his Starship again.

While Kirby is being chased by this irate cloud, King Dedede double-teams by harassing Kirby with his Armored Vehicle on two different occasions, but both times is accidentally zapped by Kracko in the process. King Dedede tries to get a refund from N.M.E. for this, but is flatly turned down.

|{{center|[[File:E5 King Dedede.png|100px]]}}
|Primary character
|In this episode, King Dedede hatches a scheme to trick [[Whispy Woods]] into apprehending Kirby and his friends, thereby leaving the tree helpless while Dedede personally uses a saw to fell him, and then proceeds to cut down the entirety of Whispy Woods Forest and build a country club in its place. This is met with unanimous disapproval from the Dream Landers, but King Dedede dismisses them and prepares to use Kirby as a golf ball. At that moment, however, Kirby coughs up one of Whispy's apples that he'd eaten earlier, allowing Whispy Woods to rapidly regrow and punish King Dedede for his actions, regrowing the entire forest in mere moments and undoing his plans. King Dedede is subsequently punished by being made lost in the regrown woods at night.

The scheme progresses when King Dedede uses his TVs to mind control the captivated Cappies into turning against Kirby by faking a monster attack on the town and blaming it on the pink puffball. This nearly works, but Tiff manages to safeguard Kirby and then foil King Dedede's plans by crashing his TV studio during a live broadcast.

|{{center|[[File:E8 King Dedede.png|100px]]}}
|Primary character
|In this episode, King Dedede becomes furious when nobody attends the anniversary of his coronation, so he hatches a scheme to gain more royal legitimacy. He does this by forging "ancient" relics of his ancestors to convince the people of Dream Land that his family line has ruled the kingdom for ages, and bribes [[Professor Curio]] to "uncover" these relics at his archaeological dig site. This appears to work at first, but Tiff later learns of Curio's deception and pressures him to come clean, which the professor does during an exhibition that everyone is attending. Enraged at this betrayal, King Dedede orders the monster [[Dedede Stone]] to attack everyone at the exhibition, prompting both Curio and Kirby to fight back. After Kirby defeats this monster, King Dedede is buried in the rubble left behind.

As Slice n' Splice gives chase to finish the job, King Dedede is momentarily split in two himself, though he later becomes one again off-camera. He is not seen again after that point for the rest of the episode.

Even later on, after Chief Bookem risks his life to save Tuff from a volcano he got stuck in, King Dedede tries one more time to fire Bookem, but the town stands resolutely against this, and Dedede is later chased away by the same wasps from before.

Though coming close, Chef Kawasaki ultimately refuses to serve Kirby in this way, and later learns that the visiting Shiitake is in fact a monster sent by N.M.E., which Kirby defeats using the Cook ability.

Before he can do so, however, he is beset by a [[Ghost (monster)|real ghost]] who was sent by N.M.E. to collect payment from the King, and proceeds to make off with several coin sacks from the royal vault.

This ultimately fails when Kirby's friends counter by distributing newspapers that exonerate him, and Dedede tries to keep the pressure on when he sends out his own newspapers, which turn out to be mostly advertisements. Sick of Dedede's spam newspapers, the town turns on him and has Kirby "return" all of Dedede's papers to him, flooding the castle in the process.

|Primary character
|In this episode, King Dedede tries to get involved with his subjects' obsession with a new fantasy book, but is foiled by his inability to read. To try and cover this embarrassing fact up and to spite the townsfolk, he steals all their copies of the book and then lures the people to his castle, where he claims to have gotten the book's author to come visit and turn Castle Dedede into a magic school. This turns out to be a trap to try and dispatch Kirby, which fails when Kirby gains the [[Cleaning]] ability and uses it to defeat the [[Broom King|monster]] that was impersonating the author. When the real author shows up, Dedede tries to sweep his actions under the rug and get her autograph, but he accidentally reveals his inability to read to the whole town when he is unable to decipher the signature he receives.

|[[Prediction Predicament - Part I]]
|{{center|[[File:E41 King Dedede.png|100px]]}}
|Primary character
|In this episode, King Dedede has a nightmare about a giant demonic version of Kirby engulfing him in flames, and proceeds to develop an intense fear of the pink puffball. In desperation, he heads to Mabel's parlor to get his nightmare interpreted, but she uses the opportunity to pressure the King into building a playground for the Cappy children, as he had apparently promised to do in the past. Rejecting this, Dedede returns to the castle and endeavors to try and never fall asleep again, so he can avoid having that same nightmare a second time, but this fails. As a last resort, he calls for an ice monster from N.M.E. called [[Fridgy]] to try and counteract his fiery vision of Kirby, but seeing Fire Kirby defeat this monster only appears to confirm his nightmarish portent. Mabel snaps Dedede out of his paranoia by showing him through the royal observatory a red star that had recently appeared in the sky, which she claims is the true source of his nightmare. She warns him that the star will crash into Dream Land if he does not meet his obligations to the townsfolk, but Dedede predictably brushes her off, merely glad to know that Kirby is not the source of his nightmare, finally able to get some peaceful sleep.

|Following from the previous episode, the star that Mabel warned King Dedede about proceeds to head toward Dream Land. As this is happening, Dedede reveals a new construction in Cappy Town which the villagers had hoped would be the playground he promised, but instead turns out to be a giant golden statue of himself, which abhors the townsfolk. Mabel once again berates Dedede for his hubris, and warns him of the approaching red star. Dedede at first denies this threat, but later comes to accept it when the star outgrows the Sun in apparent size in the sky. Accepting his fate along with most of the remaining Dream Landers, he proceeds to roller skate through the castle along with an unwilling Escargoon, who the King had pressured into staying. Later on, King Dedede - after initially denying any wrongdoing he may have enacted in his life - comes to accept that the statue he built earlier was not the right thing to do, and, to clear his conscience before the end of the world, has it demolished so he can build the playground as he'd promised. Moments before the star is set to crash into Dream Land, King Dedede takes Kirby to see the playground he had built, and the two have a sentimental moment on the swings shortly before being picked up by intense winds caused by the approaching star. While being flung around in the air, Dedede tries to keep hold of Kirby, but is separated from him, and later ends up hanging by his overcoat from the tallest spire of the castle. When Kirby manages to successfully redirect the star before it crashes, it briefly flies just above the castle, coming just close enough to Dedede to singe him before departing. As the danger passes, the townsfolk are left to laugh at Dedede for his hubris, as Mabel's prediction had come true in a sense.

When the cartoon is set to air, Dedede and Escargoon initially gloat about their successful hijacking of the show's plot and proceed to voice their indulgent self-insert characters, but soon turn to despair as the cartoon's low production value starts to dog the airing, culminating with the film burning on the reel after Kirby's particularly crude contributions are shown. Dedede is left indebted to N.M.E. when they point out in the contract that the show had to be "of professional quality".

Using a form of mind control through these dolls, he compels the townsfolk to deposit money into the dolls in their sleep, and when they wake up, the townsfolk believe that money had appeared in the doll. Later on, Dedede opens up a bank and convinces the people to deposit the money from their dolls into his vaults, with the intent of simply stealing the money given to him. Due to Dedede's repeated sleepless nights in his attempts to perform the mind control, however, he grows delirious and spiteful, and takes his anger out the following night by compelling the Dedede Dolls to attack his subjects. This causes them to turn on the idea of the dolls and the bank, and they withdraw all their money before Dedede can get to it. Dedede shortly thereafter learns to his horror that any violence visited upon the Dedede Dolls will be done to him as well, and starts to feel the effect of this immediately when Kirby starts to play with his doll. Dedede tries to retaliate by having the doll attack Kirby, but this ultimately leads Kirby to inhale the doll, causing Dedede in turn to be stranded in Kirby's stomach dimension.

To celebrate the King's total change of character, the Cappies host a party for him at his castle, though they still insist on whacking the King about the head with hammers and subjecting him to Chef Kawasaki's worst meals to further test his sincerity. This eventually backfires as the monster in Dedede's head reaches its limit and explodes out of him to attack everyone. After Kirby deals with the monster, King Dedede returns to his usual self and proceeds to get revenge on Escargoon, who had in particular exploited the King's passivity to punish him.

As this continues, Tiff eventually uncovers the plot, and after Kirby defeats the monster which emerges from the teacher's cap, the school is destroyed, sending King Dedede and Escargoon flying away in the blast.

To rectify this, King Dedede hatches a scheme to start a television program where he visits the homes of various Cappies and incentivizes them to make him an exquisite meal in exchange for a potential cash prize, which he uncharacteristically actually follows through with after each visit. This causes the royal treasury to deplete rapidly, resulting in Escargoon sabotaging one of the meals in order to preserve his own salary, but King Dedede finds out what Escargoon did and punishes him by forcing him to swallow the same ultra-spicy powder that Escargoon had sabotaged the meal with. Still craving the crab dinner that was denied to him, King Dedede orders one from N.M.E., which naturally turns out to be a giant monster that wants to eat Dedede instead. Kirby steps in and uses the Cook ability to cook the monster to perfection, but at this point, Dedede has no more interest in such things, and settles back into his old eating habits, leaving Kirby the crab.

After his initial joviality at catching the cold, however, Dedede wishes for it to end, and demands N.M.E. send him a cure. Instead, they send him a shrink ray and instruct Dedede to use it on Kirby and then swallow the pink puffball so that Kirby can inhale all the bugs from within Dedede's body. He follows through with this, and the plan nearly works, but Dedede accidentally sneezes Kirby out of his body and ends up retaining the virus, having to work through his cold the hard way after everyone else had already gotten over it.

|In this episode, Tiff attempts to host an eco-tour to increase the environmental awareness of the Dream Landers, but King Dedede appropriates the tour in order to gain the cover he needs to survey the woods so he can chop them down and build his country club. As the tour progresses, King Dedede carelessly antagonizes Tiff to the point where she demands control of the tour, and, having already accomplished what he set out to do, complies and lets her lead the tour group away. King Dedede and Escargoon stay behind in order to set up their construction camp, and ensure Tiff's group doesn't catch on by having Dedede dress up as a bear and chase them away. This works, and after finalizing their preparations, King Dedede and Escargoon prepare to set off back to the castle to further their plans, but Dedede's carelessness on a rickety bridge causes the two to plummet into the river below, and they are swept deep into the woods and become lost. While trying to find their way out, Dedede and Escargoon decide to set up a smoke signal to mark their location to the others, but they add too much fuel to it and cause a massive forest fire instead, trapping everyone inside the burning woods. Dedede and Escargoon make a run for it, but are caught dead in their tracks by Whispy Woods, who intends to punish them for their carelessness by holding them fast while the flames engulf them all. Before this can happen, though, Kirby uses the Tornado ability to create a big rainstorm and put out the fires. The others decide to punish Dedede and Escargoon by forcing the two to replant all the trees that were lost.

|In this episode, King Dedede and Escargoon join in the hunt for the treasure rumored to have been buried in Dream Land by a pirate long ago whose bird is claimed to be Tokkori's ancestor. They try to gain an advantage in the hunt by bribing Tokkori and treating him like royalty, but this ends up not working out, since Tokkori has no clue where the treasure is and does not care to find out. After the Cappies learn of the treasure's true location from Kabu, Escargoon relays this information to Dedede, and they take Tokkori to the cave on the coast, beating the others to the treasure room and leaving Tokkori behind after his usefulness had come to an end. Dedede and Escargoon soon uncover the treasure, just as the others rush into the room, and Dedede makes good his escape after distracting everyone with a monster he had ordered in advance. Before they can get away with the treasure, though, they are stopped by a Joe in the water who causes them to accidentally dump most of the treasure into the sea. Dedede and Escargoon try to reclaim it, but Joe drives them away.

However, he later learns that all of the money in the machines was siphoned off directly to N.M.E. to pay down his debt, and he soon discovers that all of his Waddle Dees are now gone. With nobody to look after the castle and everyone else hiding from the King, Dedede becomes disheveled and lonely, soon becoming a wandering bum begging the people of Cappy Town to give him some food, but they all turn him away. Dedede soon grows mad with hunger and attempts to eat the Dyna Chick, which incurs the wrath of Dyna Blade. This danger gets the attention of the Waddle Dees, who rush away from their new owners in order to save him.

|In this episode, after learning about conveyor belt sushi from the N.M.E. Sales Guy, Dedede gets an idea to convert Kawasaki's restaurant into a revolving sushi bar in order to raise revenue from the townsfolk, turning Kawasaki into an indentured servant in the process. This plan ends up backfiring, however, as nobody wants to pay as much for the sushi as they did on opening day, causing Dedede to fear that he may not be able to make back his investment. He decides to issue a royal decree requiring everyone in the kingdom to eat his revolving sushi and nothing else, and sends the conveyor belt through everyone's homes in order to enforce this. Still, nobody wants to eat the sushi, particularly as it rots while it travels along the miles of conveyor belt in the hot sun, except of course for Kirby who gobbles every plate that comes through his house. Dedede takes advantage of this by placing a Sweet Potato sushi roll on the belt, which causes Kirby to have uncontrollable hiccups when he eats it, leaving him unable to inhale, and thus vulnerable to attack from the monster [[Squishy]] that is sent after him. Dedede and Escargoon drive up to watch Kirby get attacked by Squishy, but Kirby soon gets over his hiccups and defeats the beast, leaving King Dedede to bewail his expensive failure.

When [[Mosugaba]] shows up in larval form and then spins itself a giant cocoon on Castle Dedede, King Dedede tries to get rid of it by burning the cocoon, but this only ends up accelerating the metamorphosis, turning Mosugaba into its final moth form. As hoped, Kirby does indeed start to sneeze uncontrollably, but so does King Dedede, thus foiling his plans to get the upper hand on Kirby in this moment of weakness. Kirby's friends soon find out about the fairies and return them to Mosugaba so that the passive monster can return home, foiling Dedede's plans.

Refusing to believe that dinosaurs have gone "extunct", King Dedede becomes obsessed with trying to convince the people of Dream Land that there are still dinosaurs in the world, but his various schemes (including pounding giant footprints into the road to imitate those of a sauropod) are found out. Dedede then decides he will hire someone from N.M.E. who can make him dinosaurs, and receives [[Doctor Moro]], a mad scientist who sets up a genetics lab in the wilderness of Babagahara and grabs some volunteers from Dream Land to help him, hiding his true motives. Later on, Dedede sets up a dinosaur-based theme park in those same woods and invites everyone in the kingdom to participate. He grabs many of the most prominent characters, including Kirby and his friends for a boat ride down the Babagahara river, where they are all soon attacked by creatures that resemble dinosaurs but also have the appearance of some of the characters, implying some horrific genetic splicing.

Dedede and Escargoon then agree to help Moro get a sample of Kirby's DNA so they can create the ultimate hybrid, the Kirby-saurus. This succeeds, and soon the Kirby-saurus appears alongside the monster Moro and the remaining dinosaurs in order to devour the tour group, but Kirby manages to defeat all of them using the [[Crash]] ability, reducing the dinosaurs to fossils and vaporizing the doctor.

|In this episode, Dedede learns of potentially seditious activity taking place in Cappy Town, and attempts to suppress the people with fire hoses, when in reality they were just trying to make paintings and drawings. When the people accuse Dedede of being a brute who doesn't appreciate the arts, he attempts to prove them wrong by setting up an art museum, but when it's pointed out that the museum is empty, he invites the people to submit their art to be displayed in the museum. Later on, however, he decides to one-up the Cappies instead by ordering alien art from N.M.E. for exhibition. When he reveals this art in his museum, Tiff is captivated by the pieces, but Dedede finds them to be disgusting and abhorrent, instead directing the people to his own painting, which is so shoddy that they all mock him openly for it. Enraged at this, King Dedede orders the monster [[Paint Roller]] to come to the museum and vandalize all the alien art so that it resembles him and Escargoon, forgetting that he was supposed to return the art unblemished. Kirby later battles Paint Roller using the Paint Ability and defeats him, taking the art museum with it. Dedede and the others note as the resulting paint explosion turns the background of Dream Land into an impressionistic painting.

|In this episode, King Dedede abuses Escargoon to the point where the snail assistant creates a robotic duplicate of himself to take over in his stead. This robot fools Dedede for a moment, but after realizing what he is dealing with, Dedede decides to take advantage by ordering the robot to attack Kirby, which causes it to get wrecked. Escargoon repairs the robot, only for King Dedede to end up wrecking it again due to overburdening it with chores. Unable to fix the robot in time, Escargoon dons its outer casing and pretends to be the robot for a while, but King Dedede sees through this disguise and, playing along, orders his "robot" to attack Kirby again, which Escargoon complies with as not to blow his cover. After consorting with N.M.E., Escargoon is able to repair his droid and shows it again to Dedede, who stress-tests it by commanding it to make him a ten course meal in under a minute, which it succeeds at. Then, he orders it to attack Escargoon, but it refuses, as it was not programmed to fight. At this moment, the N.M.E. Sales Guy chimes in and informs Dedede about the upgrades made to the droid, along with the two buttons that he ''should not'' press. Of course, Dedede presses them, turning the droid into a flying death bot that proceeds to terrorize the countryside. Kirby eventually stops the droid and destroys it, but Dedede remains insensitive to Escargoon's hard work and dedication, and just tells him he can build a new one. Tiff scolds Dedede for this, but it hardly matters, as Escargoon is so exhausted that he just falls asleep on the spot.

Later on, though, he learns of Bonkers' intentions, and tells a lie to the ape, saying that he should attack Kirby to prove his merit as a warrior. Bonkers goes along with this for a while, and Dedede and Escargoon try to take this opportunity to crush Kirby with a big boulder, but this fails to pan out when Bonkers saves Kirby from the falling rock. Furious at this, Dedede abducts Bonkers and takes him to the monster delivery system in the castle, where N.M.E. transforms Bonkers into a monster. When Bonkers is eventually defeated, he falls off the castle roof and flattens King Dedede and Escargoon before returning to normal.

To this end, he recruits the effort of a traveling teacher called [[Mr. Chip]] to offer lessons, but Dedede shows himself to be uninterested in learning, instead causing trouble in class and bullying Kirby. Mr. Chip later discovers that Dedede's unwillingness to learn stems from the idea that an x-ray scan of Dedede's head shows it to be completely empty. After being thoroughly humiliated in class after failing a test, Dedede consults with the N.M.E. Sales Guy to send a replacement teacher, and learns that Mr. Chip was supposed to be the monster, but failed to attack Kirby as he was ordered to.

Along with the sunscreen, Dedede also sells special air conditioner units to help the Cappies beat the heat, but in reality, these units were deliberately designed to emit copious amounts of CFC gases which rapidly deplete Dream Land's ozone layer, forcing everyone in Dream Land to become nocturnal to avoid the UV rays. Dedede takes advantage of his subjects' change of schedule to go joyriding through the countryside in his Royal Racecar, but soon discovers a hot air balloon piloted by Meta Knight, Tiff, and Tuff, and heads back to the castle to determine how to stop them. He calls up N.M.E. again, who explain to him that an ozone hole has formed over Dream Land, and that Kirby and Meta Knight are to blame. While Kirby is fighting the monster holding the ozone hole open, King Dedede attempts to shoot him out of the sky using a bomb blasted from a cannon, but Kirby sees this coming and swallows the bomb to gain the Bomb ability, and uses that to defeat the monster.

Later on, King Dedede shows up at Doctor Yabui's clinic, where Escargoon had been taken to try and find a solution to his cracking shell, to finish the job, and successfully breaks Escargoon's shell in two, but Kirby steps in to prevent Dedede from seeing inside. After being appropriately shamed, King Dedede backs off, and plays along by saying he'll get Escargoon a new shell, but instead orders a shell from N.M.E. that will turn his snail assistant into a monster. In the mean-time, Kirby and friends find a temporary shell for Escargoon to wear, and Dedede tries to get a peek in while Escargoon is in a changing room using the [[Grasshopper Eavesdropper]], but Escargoon spots this attempt and smashes the bot. After putting on a sea snail shell that Kirby found, Escargoon heads off into the castle, but upon seeing Dedede, attempts to hide in his shell. Dedede doesn't recognize Escargoon inside the shell, and proceeds to carry him to the grill to be cooked, and Escargoon, not knowing what is going on, starts to heat up. Tiff and Kirby step in just in time to save Escargoon from being cooked, but Dedede still insists on seeing what his assistant looks like without his shell.

Even after all this, and with Escargoon putting back on his old repaired shell, Dedede still insists on seeing what he may look like without one, and chases Escargoon down the hall and out of sight of the others.

When Dedede learns that they are still not making the cartoon he wants, however, he turns to N.M.E. again and asks them to send a new animator, so they send him the famous "Dis Walney". Dis Walney sets up Dedede and Kirby in a motion capture chamber so they can make computer-generated cartoons, but this is quickly revealed to be a trap, as Dis Walney uses the capture pins on their bodies to compel Dedede to attack Kirby relentlessly, and then reveals himself to be the monster [[Anige]]. Before he can finish the job, however, Kirby's motion capture pins fall off him, allowing him to gain the upper hand using the Spark ability and defeat the monster, freeing Dedede as well. After this ordeal, Dedede decides he does not care what the cartoon is about, and agrees to broadcast the animators' work just in time for the airing, only to be horrified along with the others at the result.

Despite this, King Dedede proceeds to announce the creation of a new holiday commemorating himself over Channel DDD and demands that people give him gifts. Still, nobody shows up, and the King starts to despair over his unpopularity, drawing sympathy from Tiff, who decides to have Kirby at least show up with a present, in the hopes that it will make the King less of a villain. Kirby shows up at the castle with a watermelon for a present, but this backfires when it is revealed that Kirby had already eaten the flesh of the fruit, leaving Dedede with just the shell. Embittered, King Dedede decides to reverse the idea of an appreciation day, instead announcing that everyone is to be given a "diss day", and oddly enough, the town goes along with this when the first day is assigned to Chef Kawasaki (who is also fairly unpopular). 

As this is happening, King Dedede decides to get revenge on Kirby for "snubbing" him, and tricks Kirby into eating a cart full of watermelons with bombs placed inside them. After Kirby rockets away from the explosions, Tiff retaliates by telling King Dedede that his stunt actually killed Kirby (when really it did not). The town proceeds to hold a fake funeral for Kirby in order to fool the King, which succeeds, drawing sympathy from him. Dedede is genuinely broken up about having killed Kirby, despite that having been his goal for the whole show up to this point, but Kirby later reveals himself not to be dead after all when he pops out of his coffin to eat the watermelon that Dedede had brought. Against everyone's expectations, Dedede is relieved that Kirby is not in fact dead, and embraces the puffball, saying he "needed an enemy". Dedede then presents another gift for Kirby which he had ordered from N.M.E., which of course turns out to be a monster that Kirby swiftly defeats. Despite everything, Dedede is still left back where he started, when the people of Cappy Town celebrate Kirby instead of him.

|Primary character
|In this episode, King Dedede has a nightmare about a clown-like monster attacking him, and wakes up in the night only to find that the monster delivery system has activated on its own to send an elephant-like creature wearing a clown mask into the kingdom. Dedede later learns that this monster is an unintentional escapee from N.M.E.'s monster training program, and goes out to try and apprehend it. He is stopped however, when Kirby shows up and realizes the monster [[Phan Phan]] means no harm, defending it from Dedede by spitting the King's hammer back at him. Later on, King Dedede reports to N.M.E. that he found their escaped monster, so they send the clown monster [[Whippy (monster)|Whippy]] in order to regain control over Phan Phan. Dedede and Escargoon then deliver Whippy to Phan Phan, where Kirby has to subsequently deal with his friend-turned-enemy by the clown. After Whippy is defeated and Phan Phan freed, the elephant retaliates against Dedede by tossing a spiky metal ball at his car to wreck it.

|In this episode, King Dedede steps into Cappy Town while Kirby is wrecking the place, possessed by the [[Demon Frog]]. Not knowing why Kirby is behaving in this way, Dedede tries to intervene, but Kirby gives him a fright and chases him and Escargoon off after hijacking the Royal Racecar. Dedede retreats to the castle and contacts the N.M.E. Sales Guy to explain the situation, and he reveals what has happened to Kirby along with offering sending in the monster [[Heavy Anaconda]] to finish Kirby off. Before he can get much further though, King Dedede is attacked by Kirby, the attack only relenting when Tiff manages to snap Kirby out of his possession. The Demon Frog then transfers from Kirby to King Dedede, turning the King into a monster who proceeds to attack Kirby in turn. At that moment, however, the Heavy Anaconda arrives and swallows King Dedede, since he is the one under now under the influence of the frog. After some hesitation due to Dedede's actions, Tiff calls for the Warp Star so that Kirby can defeat Heavy Anaconda and set Dedede free. After emerging from the snake's body, King Dedede is thoroughly traumatized by the situation, and runs in fear when Tiff suggests that Kirby take his revenge on the King for his actions, but Kirby refuses, letting Dedede get away.

|Primary character
|In this episode, King Dedede gets the idea from the N.M.E. Sales Guy that he should stop Kirby from being able to use the Warp Star in order to defeat him. To do this, King Dedede and Escargoon head out and abduct Tiff, taking her back to the dungeon in order to force her to tell them where the Warp Star is kept. She tells them nothing, but Tuff accidentally spills the beans when trying to rescue her. King Dedede and Escargoon then head immediately to Kabu Canyon where they threaten to lock up Kabu if he does not cough up the Warp Star, to little effect. At that moment, King Dedede is forced to return to the castle when a [[Destroya]] sent by N.M.E. emerges and starts to bombard the kingdom. They watch from the throne room as the Destroya manages to damage Kirby's Warp Star, forcing him to retreat to Kabu Canyon, where the Destroya can follow and finish him off. Dedede and Escargoon are summarily introduced to the [[Air Riders]] who will be sent to attack Kirby in this moment of weakness.

|Primary character
|In this episode, King Dedede is tasked to keep an eye on Kirby and Meta Knight by N.M.E., and is sent a cell phone with a live camera in it to maintain contact and film any secret plots. Shortly thereafter, King Dedede is informed that Meta Knight has taken the Cappies through a hidden entryway in the courtyard deep under the castle, so Dedede and Escargoon take their chairlift down into the deep depths and discover that Meta Knight was hiding the giant battleship [[Halberd]] down there. Using the phone, Dedede relays this information back to N.M.E., who prepares an armada of Destroyas to decimate the entire kingdom of Dream Land in response. From here, Dedede reveals himself to Meta Knight's group and demands to see the inside of the ship, which Meta Knight agrees to. Shortly thereafter, the bombardment of Dream Land begins, and the majority of the group return to the surface in a panic. King Dedede is particularly upset because his castle is among the things being attacked, and complains to N.M.E. when his monster delivery system is destroyed in the bombing. The Sales Guy then tells Dedede that he'll get a free replacement teleporter and a free monster if he destroys the Halberd, which Dedede agrees to. He and Escargoon sneak back down to the ship, intent on planting a bomb inside, but end up trapped inside the ship as it takes off, dealing with the Destroyas over Dream Land and then heading to eNeMeE's Fortress.

|Primary character
|In this episode, King Dedede and Escargoon attempt to sneak around the Halberd as it travels through space. They avoid detection for a while, but Dedede blows their cover when he wanders into the mess hall looking for something to eat, drawn in by the pre-made rations that Kawasaki was cooking up. Shortly thereafter, Dedede and Escargoon are tossed into the brig as stowaways for sneaking on board. While in the cell, King Dedede dials up the N.M.E. Sales Guy, and in the process, reveals the ship's location in space. The Sales Guy thanks him for doing this, and kindly tells Dedede that he will be destroyed along with the ship before signing off. A short while later, the [[Heavy Lobster]] sent by N.M.E. to destroy the Halberd busts into the brig and inadvertently sets King Dedede and Escargoon free by destroying the walls of their cell. After Heavy Lobster is defeated, King Dedede and Escargoon join the others on deck against their wishes, now looking to get revenge on N.M.E. for trying to get their "loyal customers" killed. Dedede pulls out his phone again and complains to him, inadvertently giving away the Halberd's position again as they are about to assault the fortress. Despite losing the initiative, the Halberd manages to make its way into the fortress interior, where it attempts to confront eNeMeE directly.

|Primary character
|In this episode, after the Halberd is forced to dock, King Dedede and Escargoon goad Kirby into attacking the Air Riders assaulting the ship, which he agrees to against Tiff's wishes. Later on, Dedede gets a call from the N.M.E. Sales Guy, and through the phone, eNeMeE himself appears and mind controls both Dedede and Escargoon, compelling them to kidnap Tiff and take her to the command center of the fortress. Once they reach it, eNeMeE grabs Tiff and flies away to lure Kirby toward him, leaving Dedede and Escargoon to parlay with the N.M.E. Sales Guy, who they are seeing now in person for the first time. Later on, King Dedede gets hungry and orders a liver dish from Chef Kawasaki using the command center's intercom, and Kawasaki inexplicably arrives in a flash to deliver it to him. After having some, Dedede then forces some of the dish into the N.M.E. Sales Guy's mouth, mocking him in the process. After Kirby defeats eNeMeE and the bombs are planted, the remaining crew of the Halberd arrives at the command center in order to take the monster delivery system back to Dream Land before the fortress explodes. Once there, Dedede is relieved to be back home, but is sullen to still see his castle so heavily damaged. As a final note, Meta Knight hands Dedede the phone that N.M.E. gave to him and which he'd dropped earlier, but opens it to see only static on the screen, disappointed that he can no longer order any monsters.
