'''Phantom King Dedede''', titled '''His Illusory Nemesis''', is a more powerful illusory form of [[King Dedede]] which appears as the [[boss]] of [[Forgo Horns]] in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', and can also be fought in The Ultimate Cup Z in the [[Colosseum]]. Phantom King Dedede looks and fights largely the same as its real counterpart, but has a different color scheme, now sporting teal skin with a purple coat with cyan fluff and magenta feathers and belt, and eyes that match those of [[Fecto Forgo]] in its "Invasive Species" form.

Phantom King Dedede has all of the same attacks as its normal counterpart, but it attacks significantly faster and some of its attacks have new properties. It also has a few new attacks, and has more [[health]] than King Dedede, having 1,700 HP in [[Forgo Horns]] and 1,190 HP in the [[Colosseum]]. It transitions to the second phase once its HP reaches 50% of its maximum or lower, and takes 0.2X damage during phase transitions.<ref name=FL>[https://docs.google.com/file/d/1UF0W1OgjFWUjTaUEs_jakGtbVUA_vVHt/view ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' damage and health spreadsheet (Japanese)]</ref> Phantom King Dedede is accompanied by six [[Primal Awoofy|Primal Awoofies]] at the start of the battle, all of which are ordered to immediately rush Kirby as soon as the battle begins.

!colspan=5|Phantom King Dedede's attacks in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' &nbsp;

|If Gordos were batted onto the ground prior to this attack, the Gordos will produce shockwaves of their own if hit by Phantom King Dedede's own shockwaves. The shockwave from the third jump forcefully removes any Gordos on the ground out of the arena.

|-

|Phantom King Dedede leaps over to a high ledge and throws three [[Gordo Bar]]s at Kirby which roll across the arena. After throwing the Gordo Bars, the phantom grabs a pillar and then jumps back into the arena, either attacking with End of Ice Age or a Super Dedede Jump.

|

|-

|Phantom King Dedede slams the ground hard with its pillar, creating a fissure that spreads out from the impact and erupts with ice. The area of the eruption produces a slippery icy floor after the first instance of the attack.

|This attack can repeat either once or twice. After the first instance of the attack, Phantom King Dedede's swing targets Kirby's current position as it slams the pillar down.

|-

|Phantom King Dedede attacks with its pillar, slamming the ground and creating lots of Dropped Stars. This repeats five times, alternating between vertical and horizontal.

|

|-

|Phantom King Dedede attacks with its pillar, slamming the ground eight times in a row, producing Dropped Stars with each hit. After the last hit, Phantom King Dedede's pillar breaks and it jumps in the background to throw more Gordo Bars and get another pillar.
