|theme title=[[Masked Dedede's Theme]]

'''Masked Dedede''' is a frequently-recurring "alter-ego" of [[King Dedede]] who first appeared as a [[boss]] in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', in [[Revenge of the King]]. This version of King Dedede comes equipped with a power-amplifying mask with a design similar to [[Dark Mind]]'s<ref name="miiverse">{{cite|Incidentally, the mask's design is a heavily altered version of Dark Mind's mask from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror.

Rather than his usual wooden hammer, he's equipped with a mechanical New Dedede Hammer.|''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''|Tips}}</ref> or the "Masked Dedede Hammer 2.0".<ref>Name retrieved from the purchasable hammer in ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]''</ref> With this equipment, Masked Dedede has greater [[health]] than he does normally, and is capable of performing a variety of new attacks, including firing missiles, laser beams, and a flamethrower from his hammer, and initiating a super-speedy hammer spin attack, though becoming rather dizzy afterward. Masked Dedede also comes with [[Masked Dedede's Theme|his own special version]] of [[King Dedede's Theme]], based off the one that plays in the SNES remake of [[Kirby's Star Stacker (Super Famicom)|''Kirby's Star Stacker'']], which has a much faster tempo.

| Masked Dedede's mask is an unlockable [[Alternate costumes|piece of headgear]] for King Dedede to wear.

| One of King Dedede's alternate costumes makes him resemble Masked Dedede.

| His likeness appears as a [[Dress-Up Mask]].

|Masked Dedede approaches Kirby and then attempts to strike with his hammer in an overhead swing. This leaves a [[Drop Star]] on impact.

|Masked Dedede opens a hatch on his hammer and launches three missiles out of it, which can be inhaled by Kirby.

|Masked Dedede raises his hammer and slams the ground with it. If Kirby is airborne, then Masked Dedede will jump up and swing the hammer in mid-air. When he lands, a shockwave emanates from it. In the second phase, he does this attack with his axe instead, with each swing on ground level causing shockwaves.

|Masked Dedede preps his hammer, which opens up and shoots out three missiles.

|Taranza produces an even bigger energy orb and sends it to Dedede. After hitting it with his axe, the orb bounces along the arena for a bit before getting launched to Dedede in the background, who hits it with his axe one more time, sending it back to the foreground and causing it to explode, producing multiple Drop Stars in the process.

At the end of the Secret Path in ''[[Kirby's Blowout Blast]]'', Kirby faces off against King Dedede's Revenge, similarly to how he was in Stage 5-EX. However, when he's knocked away, and the [[Sparkling Stars]] come to grow him giant, this time he gets his mask and jet hammer, becoming '''Giant Masked Dedede'''. His attack patterns are similar to the regular Giant King Dedede fight, but the mask protects him from singular [[Star Bullet]]s. He can also shoot a giant laser and missiles from his Jet Hammer. The mask breaks when he is defeated. His theme in this game was remixed in ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]''.

|Giant Masked Dedede raises his hammer above the playing field, homes in on Kirby's positioning and then slams it down on the ground. Multiple stars are left behind each time the hammer hits the ground. If the hammer is charging before the swing, then the slam leaves behind shockwaves. If the hammer does not charge, then Dedede will swing the hammer three times in a row, moving the hammer to a different location on the stage each time before swining.
