{{quote|Oh no! Oh no! What do we do?!|Sailor Waddle Dee in [[Revenge of Meta Knight - Chapter 1]], ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''}}
'''Sailor Waddle Dee''' is a minor character who first appeared in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' (and later in [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|its remake]]) in [[Revenge of Meta Knight]]. They are a [[Waddle Dee]] who wear a sailor's cap. Sailor Waddle Dee never directly interacts with [[Kirby]], and is usually only present through their dialogue in [[Revenge of Meta Knight]], or in the background in their other appearances.

==Game appearances==
===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
Sailor Waddle Dee first appears in ''Kirby Super Star'' and ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', where they are one of the characters exchanging dialogue with the others during gameplay in [[Revenge of Meta Knight]]. Their role is a more introspective, in contrast with the other characters trying to stop Kirby from boarding and destroying the Halberd. They are sometimes absent-minded, such as when they accidentally reveal the secret to destroying the [[Reactor]].

Sailor Waddle Dee is not seen in the stages proper. Additionally, they have the least amount of dialogue of the [[Halberd]] crew. However, they are the last one to stay when the other [[Meta-Knights]] abandon ship; they were the only witness to [[Meta Knight]]'s duel with Kirby. While their fate is unclear, it is presumed that they safely escaped before the Halberd sank into the ocean.

===''Kirby Mass Attack''===
Sailor Waddle Dee reappears in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', where they make a cameo in the [[Meta Knight]] battle of the [[Strato Patrol EOS]] sub-game. They are seen cheering for him alongside [[Bandana Waddle Dee]].

===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
Sailor Waddle Dee makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' as a unique [[Sticker (Kirby: Planet Robobot)|sticker]] found in [[Patched Plains - Stage 3]]. Notably, this is the first time they are properly named as such in a ''Kirby'' game.

===''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe''===
Sailor Waddle Dee reappears as a minor cameo in ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'', where they appear in the background of the village after [[Whispy Woods]] is defeated for the first time. They run about behind the [[Gem Apple]] tree, chasing butterflies.

===''Kirby Battle Royale''===
{{main|Costumes#Headgear table|Costumes}}
In ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'', a [[Costumes#Kirby Battle Royale|Headgear]] called Sailor Cap can be purchased for 1500 Battle Coins for [[Parasol Waddle Dee|Waddle Dee]]. The description states that the cap is "a favorite among those working on a certain battle ship", referencing the [[Halberd]].

=== ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' ===
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', Sailor Waddle Dee appears on one of the game's [[Character Treat]]s, using their artwork from ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''.

==Trivia==
*Sailor Waddle Dee is the only member of the [[Halberd]]'s crew that does not appear in the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]] at all. This is because [[Waddle Dee (novel character)|Waddle Dee]] is established as an individual character in the novels' universe. After the [[Kirby Printer]] makes copies of him in ''[[Kirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!]]'', Waddle Dees become a species, and other distinguished Waddle Dees appear, such as [[Soldier Waddle Dee]] and the [[Channel PPP Crew]]. Even after this, Sailor Waddle Dee is still yet to appear in a novel.
