— Trader Waddle Dee, in Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Trader Waddle Dee is a Waddle Dee who appears in Gotcha Machine Alley in Waddle Dee Town, in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. He is the last unique Waddle Dee to appear in the town, appearing after Kirby completes The Ultimate Cup Z in the Colosseum, and he is distinguished only by the blue Gotcha capsule he holds. His purpose is to help Kirby collect any remaining figures that he is missing, and he will give Kirby a randomly-obtained figure he does not already have in exchange for a Rare Stone.

If Kirby already has every randomly-obtained figure, Trader Waddle Dee will acknowledge this, but will still offer to trade with Kirby regardless, giving him figures that he hasn't obtained the maximum number possible of. Figures are marked with a crown in the figure collection when Kirby has collected the maximum number of duplicates for that figure.
