'''King Doo''' is a [[Mid-boss]] debuting in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|{{KRDL KAW}}]]''. He is a large yellow [[Waddle Doo]] with a pronounced tuft of hair and shoes with tips that point upward.
As expected from a Waddle Doo, he can use a beam whip attack, which appears essentially identical to a regular Waddle Doo's (though obviously much larger) which he can also use in the air after a jump. King Doo also has the Wave Beam ability, firing a large blast of energy sideways across the field. He also has one non-beam attack, which involves simply charging across the screen. Once defeated, King Doo can be inhaled for the [[Beam]] ability.

King Doo debuts in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' as a [[Mid-Boss]], behaving like a normal Waddle Doo but with additional moves such as charging at [[Kirby]] and using a Beam Whip midair. In [[Extra Mode]], King Doo gains off-white skin and a deep red eye reminiscent of [[Zero]]'s. In this form he gains the ability to turn while attacking in midair, as well as the ability to fire up to three Wave Beams in succession. He also gains an attack similar to the Beam Blast, jumping and firing several medium-sized shots diagonally downwards.

[[File:SKC King Doo.jpg|thumb|right|150px|King Doo's in-game appearance in ''Super Kirby Clash''.]]
The following are all of King Doo's attacks in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''. Most attack names are from official strategy guides concerning King Doo's appearance in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', while others are conjectural:
{{Quote|That big, round eye is here and ready to glare daggers at you! If looks could kill...|flavor text from ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe''}}
King Doo appears three times as an enemy encounter in ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'', and three more times in ''Super Kirby Clash''. To make him more dangerous, he has been granted many new methods of firing his beam laser, but despite this, the strategy to beat him is much the same. In ''Super Kirby Clash'', King Doo can also be found paired up with [[Mr. Frosty]] in Team First Contact.
 
===Attacks===
The following are all of King Doo's attacks in ''Super Kirby Clash''. Note that attack names are conjectural:

*Jump Beam
*Rush
*Wave Beam x2

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' and ''Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition'', the internal filename for King Doo is called "Beholdoo", which is a play on "Beholder". In ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' onwards, the file is renamed "Kingsdoo", which is closer to the final name.
