King Doo is a Mid-Boss debuting in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. 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.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe

King Doo debuted 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 mid-air. 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.

In the Sub-Game New Challenge Stages, King Doo can be found in the Smash Combat Chamber and Smash Combat Chamber EX as one of Kirby's opponents. He looks and functions exactly the same way as he did in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

Kirby: Planet Robobot

King Doo returns in Kirby: Planet Robobot. Here, he wears a metal suit. There is also an upgraded version of him known as King Doo 2.0.

His regular form attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:

  1. Beam Whip
  2. Charge
  3. Wave Beam

After losing around half of his health, he abruptly switches to a different set of attacks, beginning with these:

  • Wave Beam x3 [two shots fired between planes]
  • Beam Whip [mid-air]
  • Charge
  • Wave Beam x2

After that, he then attacks in this fixed order on loop as follows:

  1. Beam Whip
  2. Wave Beam
  3. Charge
  4. Wave Beam x3 [two shots fired between planes]

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe

He may be getting sand in his eye, but that's not going to stop him coming for you!
— Tough Quest description in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe

King Doo appears three times in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, with many new methods of firing his beam laser, but despite this, the strategy to beat him is much the same.

Super Kirby Clash

That big, round eye is here and ready to glare daggers at you! If looks could kill...
— Quest description in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash

King Doo appears three times as an enemy encounter in Super Kirby Clash, behaving like he did in the previous game. Of these encounters, he is fought solo in only one Quest, with the other two having him paired up with other enemies: he is paired up with Mr. Frosty for Team First Contact and paired up with Hornhead and Miasmoros for Team Triple Threat.

Attacks

The following are all of King Doo's attacks in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash. Note that attack names are conjectural:

King Doo's attacks in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash  
Attack Description Variants
Charge King Doo starts running very fast, and won't stop until he hits the edge of the arena.
Beam Whip King Doo conjures and releases a large beam whip from his eye that moves downward. Further into the fight, he can do this in mid-air.
Wave Beam King Doo charges up, and then releases a large circular beam blast from his eye which travels quickly across the stage. Further into the fight, he can do this multiple times in succession, or may fire them into the background for them to come back and hit somewhere on the stage.

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.
