This article is about the spear-wielding variants from Kirby Battle Royale. For Waddle Dees in general, see Waddle Dee.
Soldier Waddle Dee resembles a Spear Waddle Dee from previous titles, but is distinguished by its fancy guardsman's hat, and its seemingly eternally dour expression (though this may just be an appearance put on by the brow of his helmet). Several can be seen around the palace in the story mode, guarding entrances and guarding King Dedede.
Kirby has to face off against Soldier Waddle Dees in several instances. The first is when he and Bandana Waddle Dee are trying to gain entrance to the tournament. A soldier challenges Kirby to a game of Apple Scramble to qualify, which also serves as a tutorial round. From there, two soldiers will later need to be faced in the Bronze League Qualifiers. The last time they are faced is when they team up with King Dedede at the end of the Platinum League.
