'''Shadow Dedede''' is the penultimate boss in ''[[Dededetour!]]'' of ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', and appears as the second of the '''Nightmare Four''' from [[The True Arena]] in that game. Shadow Dedede appears to be an evil doppelganger of [[King Dedede]], though his pause description describes him as a miserable automaton, lashing out in anger because he knows nothing else. Shadow Dedede looks more or less the same as King Dedede, but with an obviously darker color scheme, and a different symbol on his coat and hammer, resembling a monochrome bulls-eye.

This fight effectively serves as the DX version of the fight with [[Masked Dedede]] in the Story Mode of ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''. However, there are a couple key differences. Firstly, Shadow Dedede only has one life bar, and he switches to the axe portion after it is halfway depleted. Secondly, he possesses some oddly different attacks, including one where his belly sash opens up into a mouth, and fires out orbs of dark energy.

 This box: view  talk  edit 
In the depths of a mysterious mirror hanging in the hall of the queen waits the dark king, Shadow Dedede! He wages battle against all comers, but Shadow Dedede's true opponent is the darkness in his own heart.
— VS Shadow Dedede, Kirby: Triple Deluxe

Shadow Dedede is the penultimate boss in Dededetour! of Kirby: Triple Deluxe, and appears as the second of the Nightmare Four from The True Arena in that game. Shadow Dedede appears to be an evil doppelgänger of King Dedede, though his pause description describes him as a miserable automaton, lashing out in anger because he knows nothing else. Shadow Dedede looks more or less the same as King Dedede, but with an obviously darker color scheme, blank white eyes, and a different symbol on his coat and hammer, resembling a monochrome bulls-eye.

Shadow Dedede comes out of the Dimension Mirror after King Dedede defeats Queen Sectonia DX in Level 6 of Dededetour!.

Attacks

King Dedede facing down his dark duplicate in Dededetour!.

This fight effectively serves as the DX version of the fight with Masked Dedede in the Story Mode of Kirby: Triple Deluxe. However, there are a couple key differences. First, Shadow Dedede only has one life bar, and he switches to the axe portion after it is halfway depleted. Second, he possesses some oddly different attacks, including one where his belly sash opens up into a mouth, and fires out orbs of dark energy.

The following are all of Shadow Dedede's attacks. Attacks in italics are used in the second phase only. Note that attack names are conjectural:

Trivia

  • The English, French, German, Italian and Spanish flavor texts misinterpret the last sentence. According to the original Japanese and the localized Korean versions, it should be "King Dedede's true opponent is the darkness in his own heart."[1][2] The Japanese version also calls him ブラデ (Burade) for short, which is an abbreviation of his full Japanese name ブラックデデデ Black Dedede.
    • The Japanese abbreviation could be a parody of Dark Pit from Kid Icarus: Uprising (Black Pit in Japanese), who is nicknamed ブラピ (Burapi) in that version for short.
  • King D-Mind is named "MaskedBlackDedede" in the internal game files of Team Kirby Clash Deluxe. "Black Dedede" is the Japanese name of Shadow Dedede, and King D-Mind's moveset can be considered an even more souped-up version of Shadow Dedede despite them being two different characters.
  • When Shadow Dedede opens up his belly sash to reveal a mouth, he spurts off blood. This is one of the few Kirby bosses with on-screen depictions of blood; with the others being Zero, , Dark Meta Knight's Revenge, Star Dream Soul OS and Void Termina's First Core.
