'''Waddle Dees''' are a species of very peaceful creatures that are a common sight in [[Dream Land]], in the wider [[Popstar]] region, and on [[Planet|many other planets]]. Named for their waddling gait, Waddle Dees are about the same size as [[Kirby]] and have a roughly spherical brown body, fingerless flaps for arms and two feet which are typically yellow. Their faces are tan and consist of two dark brown eyes, florid cheeks, and no mouth or nose. While most Waddle Dees are red or brown, there also are [[Color Changes|green, yellow, blue or golden]] Waddle Dees to be found.

'''Waddle Dees''' are a species of very peaceful creatures that are a common sight in [[Dream Land]], in the wider [[Popstar]] region, and on [[Planet|many other planets]]. Named for their waddling gait, Waddle Dees are about the same size as [[Kirby]], and have a slightly pear-shaped body with orange-red skin, fingerless stubs for arms, and two feet which are typically yellow, but may also be tan or a light orange. Their faces are tan in color and consist of two dark brown eyes, two cheek blushes, and no mouth or nose (though Waddle Dees are known to speak and eat despite lacking mouths). While most Waddle Dees are orange or red, there also are [[Color|green, yellow, blue]], or [[Gold Waddle Dee|golden]] Waddle Dees to be found.
 
Overall, Waddle Dees are depicted as peaceful denizens of Dream Land that seldom fight actively. Instead, they usually just waddle around in stages and leap in the air occasionally, neither paying attention to, nor actively attacking Kirby. While they are generally not much of a threat, they usually [[damage]] Kirby if they run into him or if he touches them. Many, but not all Waddle Dees seem to have affiliated themselves with [[King Dedede]], and those that have usually show a great amount of respect and loyalty towards their leader, even if they sometimes acknowledge his character flaws. King Dedede often employs them as servants, soldiers, and guards, giving the latter of these [[Spear Waddle Dee|spears to use to varying degrees of effectiveness]]. Among the most loyal of these is [[Bandana Waddle Dee]], named after his blue bandana, who also happens to be friends with Kirby.


Overall, Waddle Dees are depicted as peaceful denizens of Dream Land that seldom fight actively. Their name is probably derived from their {{behavior}}, since they usually just waddle around in levels and leap in the air occasionally, neither paying attention to, nor actively attacking Kirby. While they are generally considered harmless, they usually [[damage]] Kirby if they run into him or if he touches them. Many, but not all Waddle Dees seem to have affiliated themselves with [[King Dedede]]. Those Waddle Dees show a great amount of respect and loyalty towards their leader. King Dedede often employs them as servants, soldiers, and guards. The most loyal of these is [[Bandana Waddle Dee]], named after his blue bandana, who also happens to be friends with Kirby.
Waddle Dees first appeared in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', making them one of the oldest types of enemies to be found in the whole [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. They have subsequently reappeared in one form or another in every game in the series, becoming arguably just as iconic as Kirby himself. Waddle Dees may be compared to the [[mariowiki:Goomba|Goomba]] species from the [[mariowiki:Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] as both are considered to be common, ubiquitous, basic enemies who may be found in many roles and varieties, and have individual stand-out members.

==Varieties of Waddle Dee==
==Varieties of Waddle Dee==
Being arguably the most ubiquitous creatures in the ''Kirby'' series, Waddle Dees come in many varieties, and can be seen in many different roles and contexts. Some Waddle Dees can carry on more than one of these roles at a time. These are as follows:
{{main|Waddle Dee (disambiguation)}}
*'''Waddle Dee''' - Standard variety of Waddle Dees who carry no additional equipment. They can be seen holding still, walking, jumping, chasing Kirby, sleeping, fleeing, riding a [[Nruff]], or in more specific situations. They provide no [[Copy Ability]] when swallowed.
There are many entities in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] that are either variants of Waddle Dees, distinguished Waddle Dees, or similar to Waddle Dees. Due to the sheer volume of these varieties, they have been moved to a separate page. See [[Waddle Dee (disambiguation)]] for a list of such variants.
*[[Big Waddle Dee]] - A larger than usual Waddle Dee. These can also be inhaled, but this typically takes more effort on Kirby's part, and can be spat out as a [[Star Bullet|Penetrating Bullet]].
**[[Grandy]] - Another variety of Big Waddle Dee that appears in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''.
*[[Parasol Waddle Dee]] - Waddle Dees who carry a [[Parasol (enemy)|Parasol]]. They can be seen in most of the same situations as standard Waddle Dees, but will also float gently through the air. Attacking them can cause them to drop their Parasol, which will then float away. Swallowing them with their parasol grants the [[Parasol (ability)|Parasol]] ability. This variety of Waddle Dee is playable as a [[Helper]] in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' ([[Kirby Super Star Ultra|Ultra]]) and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', and is also a playable combatant in ''[[Kirby: Battle Royale]]''.
*[[Waddle Dee Steel Fortress]] - A group of Waddle Dees in a steel fortress in [[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]. They are battled using the [[Hypernova]] ability.
*[[Spear Waddle Dee]] - Waddle Dees who carry spears. Some carry them pointed up, some carry them pointed forward, and some will try to toss them at Kirby. These provide no ability when swallowed, but this will likely change should they appear in a future game with the [[Spear]] ability.
*[[Soldier Waddle Dee]] - A Waddle Dee who, in addition to having a spear, also has a soldier's hat. These guys serve [[King Dedede]], and may partner with him in battles in ''[[Kirby: Battle Royale]]''.
*[[Lumberjack Waddle Dee]] - Waddle Dees wearing green hats and wielding axes. They linger in the background and chop down large trees which can fall on Kirby.
*[[Raft Waddle Dee]] - A Waddle Dee who rides an inflatable raft over water. These can be found only in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''.
*[[Wapod]] - A ghostly Waddle Dee in a vase appearing in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''.
*[[Fluff Waddle Dee]] - A Waddle Dee from ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'' who clings to a giant seed of cotton.
*[[Rope Waddle Dee]] - A Waddle Dee who swings from a rope. Can be found in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and subsequent main series titles.
*[[Puppet Waddle Dee]] - A large wooden suit operated by three Waddle Dees, meant to resemble a big Waddle Dee. It can be busted open to reveal the three Waddle Dees inside, or inhaled whole.
**[[Armor Dee|Armor Waddle Dee]] - A tougher variety of Puppet Waddle Dee, made of metal.
*[[Walker Waddle Dee]] - A Waddle Dee who operates a suit of mechanical legs. The legs have to be destroyed first before the Waddle Dee can be dealt with. Walkers can also be equipped with cannons and/or jets. The missiles the cannons shoot provide the [[Bomb]] ability if swallowed.
*[[Driver Waddle Dee]] - A Waddle Dee who drives a car, bus or other vehicle. These can be seen primarily in [[Resolution Road]] and [[Rhythm Route]].
*[[Gold Waddle Dee]] - A rare variety of Waddle Dee with golden fur. They can run very fast, and often carry [[Treasure|Treasure Chest]]s.
*[[Toughness Waddle Dee]] - A Waddle Dee made of shining steel. He cannot be defeated or inhaled, and is meant to serve as a dummy for Copy Ability training.
*[[Block Waddle Dee]] - A Big Waddle Dee which resides inside of a [[Star Block]]. Appears only in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]''.
*[[Waddle Dee Portrait]] - A painting of a Waddle Dee that throws bombs at the Kirbys if they go near one. Appears only in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]''.
*[[Colossal Waddle Dee]] - A very large Waddle Dee who serves as the first encounter in ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]''. He is quite tough compared to his smaller cousins, but moves very sluggishly.
*[[Rolling Waddle Dee]] - Waddle Dees rolling down slopes, often packed into tight ball formations. Appears in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.
*[[Halcandle Dee]] - A Waddle Dee from [[Halcandra]], who wears a hood. Otherwise acts the same.
*[[Sectra Dee]] - An insectoid variant of Waddle Dee who serves [[Queen Sectonia]].


===Distinguished Waddle Dees===
==Game appearances==
The following Waddle Dees are noteworthy as individuals in the series, and usually have some article of clothing to distinguish themselves from others:
{|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="1" cellpadding="2"
*[[Bandana Waddle Dee]] - A Waddle Dee distinguished by his blue bandana. He is one of King Dedede's most loyal subjects, but is also good friends with Kirby, forcing him to sometimes choose between the two. He is playable in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', where he wields a [[Spear]], and serves as Kirby's ally in ''[[Kirby: Battle Royale]]'', where he uses a [[Parasol (ability)|Parasol]].
!colspan=3|Waddle Dee's video game appearances &nbsp;
*[[Sailor Waddle Dee]] - A Waddle Dee who wears a sailor's cap. He is one of the crew members of the [[Halberd]], and was the last of [[Meta Knight]]'s crew to jump ship. He was last seen in ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'', though only as a cameo.
|-
*[[Waddle Dee (Crystal Shards)]] - One of Kirby's good friends, who accompanies him in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. He is the only Waddle Dee in that game, so he has no distinguishing features.
!Game
*[[Channel PPP Crew]] - A crew of four Waddle Dees carrying film equipment. They were introduced outside of the games, on Kirby's official Twitter feed, but eventually made their way into a game in ''[[Kirby: Battle Royale]]''.

===Relatives of Waddle Dee===
===''Kirby's Dream Land''===
These creatures are not Waddle Dees (arguably), but are very similar in look and/or behavior (and may be biologically related):
[[File:KDL Waddle Dee artwork.png|thumb|right|170px|Artwork originating from ''Kirby's Dream Land''.]]
*[[Waddle Doo]] - A creature with a similar body shape and behavior to Waddle Dees, but has a face consisting only of a large singular eye and a couple eyelashes. It fires a beam whip from its eye, and provides the [[Beam]] ability when swallowed. It can also be seen with a Parasol.
[[File:KDL Waddle Dee sprite.png]] Waddle Dees make their first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. Like in most of the games to follow this installment, they are depicted as one of the weakest types of enemies, possessing no means to attack Kirby other than to accidentally bump into him, though they do move more erratically in the [[Extra Game]]. The [[Parasol (enemy)|Parasol]]-wielding variant of the Waddle Dee is also first seen in this game, using its parasol as a parachute to glide down to the ground; as the game contains no Copy Abilities, however, they do not yield the [[Parasol]] ability. Waddle Dees appear in every stage of the game.
*[[Wonkey]] - Similar in look to a Waddle Dee and is usually gold in col{{ou}}r, bearing special face markings and a monkey's tail. They are usually seen carrying something of value, whether that be a [[Key]], a [[Battery]], or another item.
*[[Batamon]] - A pink creature who behaves like a Waddle Dee, but looks more like Kirby. It is debatable whether these creatures are related to Kirby or not.
*[[N-Z]] - A dark grey creature made by [[Dark Matter]]. It looks and acts similarly to a Waddle Dee, though it has pointy ears and no arms.
*Yarn Waddle Dee - These yarn duplicates of Waddle Dee were created by [[Yin-Yarn]]. They can be defeated easily using the yarn whip.
*[[Beanbon]] - A seedling creature which acts similarly to Waddle Dees.
*[[Horror Tramp]] - A ghostly creature who behaves much like a Waddle Dee. They are sometimes invisible, being seen only by looking at them through a mirror.
*[[Cotta]] - A small clay creature created by [[Claycia]]. It can be found in a number of different roles and varieties.
*[[Haltworker]] - An employee of the [[Haltmann Works Company]] who can be seen wielding [[Spark]] pistols, and piloting [[Invader Armor]].
*[[Labotory]] - Lab tech personnel for the [[Haltmann Works Company]] who wear scuba-like suits and wield flails in combat.
*[[Jambeliever]] - Strange creatures which follow [[Jammerjab]] and serve [[Jambandra]] in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

===''Kirby's Dream Land''===
[[File:KA Waddle Dee sprite.png]] Waddle Dees make another appearance in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', as well as in the remake ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', again serving as one of the weakest foes Kirby faces during his journey. When appearing as Parasol Waddle Dees, they can be inhaled to give Kirby the Parasol ability. Parasol Waddle Dees are one of the common sources for the Parasol ability, the other ones being Parasol Waddle Doo and the parasol from a [[Shotzo|Parasol Shotzo]]. Waddle Dees can also be found in different colors in the remake.

{{Quote|A sniveling little whiner, you will find Waddle Dee to be the easiest of the bosses to defeat.|''Kirby's Avalanche'' Instruction Booklet (North American print), page 21}}
[[File:KAv Waddle Dee cutscene sprite.png]] In ''[[Kirby's Avalanche]]'', a Waddle Dee is the first opponent in Easy mode, never being fought in any other game mode. He is the easiest opponent and seems to simply place Puyos at random, never rotating them. His ''Puyo Puyo'' equivalent is [[puyo:Skeleton T|Skeleton T]].

===''Kirby's Dream Land 2''===
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', two basic types of Waddle Dees exist, both of which walk in a straight line and turn around when reaching an obstacle. The difference between them is that one type is able to jump and walk up and down slopes, while the other is unable to do either of these things.

The difference between them is that one type is able to jump and walk up and down slopes, while the other is unable to do either of these things.


A less common, very fast moving type of Waddle Dee can also be found in a few locations; this form appears behind Kirby once he reaches a certain point in a level, attempting to dash into him but stopping when he faces it. Furthermore, some Waddle Dees can be seen holding [[Floaty the Drifter]]s, ''Kirby's Dream Land 2''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s equivalent of [[Parasol (enemy)|Parasols]], enabling them to slowly glide down from above.

Waddle Dees can be defeated instantly by hitting them with any attack or colliding with them. They award Kirby with 100 points when inhaled, and 200 points when destroyed in any other way.

While they retain their usual role as a common enemy, a Parasol Waddle Dee also serves as the [[Helper]] that can be created from the Parasol ability. The Helper is much more capable during battle than his enemy counterparts, being able to use the same moveset as Parasol Kirby. A [[Sailor Waddle Dee|Waddle Dee in a sailor garb]] also gets introduced as one of [[Meta Knight]]'s henchmen during his conquest to take over Dream Land. Yet another Waddle Dee appears in [[The Arena]] as a joke opponent; this Waddle Dee has more health than regular ones but does not move, instead walking in place until defeated.
 
Aside from the introduction of spear-wielding Waddle Dees, another Waddle Dee character [[Bandana Waddle Dee|wearing a blue bandana]] appears in the [[Revenge of the King]] mode of ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''. He first is fought as a [[Mid-Boss]], and later can be spotted alone in the audience during Kirby's fight with Masked Dedede. After Kirby wins the fight, he can be seen accompanying a miserable King Dedede on his walk into the sunset, along with dozens of other Waddle Dees.
 
In ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', Waddle Dee also appears on two cards in [[Kirby Card Swipe]], one of which depicts him in a [[cart]]. He also appears as a target in [[Kirby on the Draw]] wearing a cowboy inspired outfit.

In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', Waddle Dees are once more encountered as common foes throughout the game. Here, they possess two basic types of movements: they are either found pacing back and forth in a predefined area, or moving in a straight line until they run into an obstacle, jumping occasionally. As the game does not assign health meters to enemies, they, like most other adversaries, can be defeated in a single hit from any attack or by colliding with them.

Besides walking around, Waddle Dees can occasionally be found riding on [[Nruff]]s, though they are thrown off when their steed slams into a wall. Furthermore, a few Waddle Dees can be seen rowing orange paddle boats back and forth on the water in certain areas; attacking these specimens destroys their boat, causing them to fall into the water and be defeated. ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' is notable for being one of the few games in which Waddle Dees never hold a Parasol, due to the enemy being absent from the game.

From that point on it sometimes appears in various levels and helps Kirby out, often by providing vehicles and opening paths. It can also be seen at the end of every level during the [[Picnic]].

Both variants, as well as the regular version, have the same appearance when stunned. A Waddle Dee [[Character Ball|Ball]] can be playable if the game is beaten once.

Waddle Dee re-appears in [[Patch Land]], however according to an in-game interlude, the Waddle Dees made made of yarn are not actually Waddle Dees (servants of King Dedede), but rather creations of [[Yin-Yarn]]. Unlike Waddle Dees from other games, running into yarn Waddle Dees will not hurt Kirby. However, sometimes Waddle Dees do try to attack Kirby through the use of arrows ('''Bow Waddle Dee''') and spears ('''Spear Waddle Dee'''). In some levels of the game, Waddle Dees appear riding dune buggies (in this appearance they are called '''Truck Monster''') in a race between them and Kirby in his truck form. Waddle Dees also appear in numerous levels as hapless foes and bystanders, can appear asleep, or carry Parasols ('''Parasol Waddle Dee''') and Balloons ('''Balloon Waddle Dee'''). Waddle Dees also make a small appearance in the [[Squashini]] boss fight as an audience. In addition to this, a single Waddle Dee is seen burning in the [[Hot Wings]] fight, and King Dedede's Waddle Dees can be seen in some cutscenes.

Here, they are entirely harmless but can be defeated with [[Meta Knight]]'s sword or his [[Slash & Bead#Controls|Special]] for some extra [[bead]]s.

In ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', Waddle Dees throw small bombs. Sometimes they throw nuts (and [[Fruit]]) from palm trees. They also throw bombs [[Waddle Dee Portrait|while inside paintings]], or behind fake walls. There is a single [[Gold Waddle Dee]], which runs away from the Kirbys like in ''Squeak Squad''; unlike the golden Waddle Dees in that game, however, defeating it is necessary to clear the [[Checklist (Mass Attack)|Checklist]].

Waddle Dees reappear in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|{{KRDL KAW}}]]'', exhibiting similar {{behavior}} to the Waddle Dees in other games. Waddle Dees come in different sizes, ranging from small to large ones. Larger ones need to be super inhaled in order for Kirby to inhale them, and resemble [[Big Waddle Dee]]s from previous games. Waddle Dees often come in [[PuppetDee|Puppet Waddle Dee]]s, a large Waddle-Dee shaped container with three Waddle Dees in it. Waddle Dees can also be sometimes seen riding [[Nruff]]s.

===''Kirby's Dream Collection''===
In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', Waddle Dee can be found in the following levels and stages:
Waddle Dees, along with the rare Golden Waddle Dee, appear in the [[New Challenge Stages]] Sub-Game as enemies to be plowed through.

In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', many Waddle Dees feature greatly in [[Merry Magoland]] and some of its [[Sub-Game]]s, with some bearing their various colorations from ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. Some of them also appear as Park-Staff Waddle Dees, wearing blue and yellow caps with a mini microphone. When performing an [[Emote]] near any Waddle Dees, they will also wave back at the player. Some of them also wear [[Mask#Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe|Dress-Up Mask]]s, notably the ones the player has unlocked so far throughout the game. Finally, [[Souvenir Shop Waddle Dee]] appears in various modes where appropriate, giving Kirby the option to take along a [[Souvenir Item]] or choose a Dress-Up Mask.
 
There are three Dress-Up Masks based on Waddle Dees, including Park-Staff Waddle Dee and Bandana Waddle Dee, with the regular Waddle Dee mask given upon first visit to Merry Magoland, and the last two for completing [[Stamp Rally]] cards #21 and #33, respectively.

Waddle Dee appears again as a common enemy in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''. They also appear as lumberjacks who cut down trees in the background, operate roving tanks, and there are [[Grandy|large and woolly]], [[Horror Tramp|ghostly]] and [[Sectra Dee|insectoid]] variants.

Waddle Dee appears again as a common enemy in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''. They also appear as [[Lumberjack Waddle Dee|woodcutters who cut down trees in the background]], operating [[Lollipop Tank|roving tanks]], [[Waddle Dee Steel Fortress|manning a steel fortress]], and there are [[Grandy|large and woolly]], [[Spookstep|ghostly]], and [[Sectra Dee|insectoid]] variants.
 
The developers mentioned in a [[Miiverse]] post that they believe this is the first time Waddle Dees have actively attacked Kirby in the series. However, they were designed in a way that they aren't attacking out of malicious intent, but rather, they happen to be doing things that unintentionally cause problems for Kirby. This came up during development when the designers were creating [[Fine Fields - Stage 3]]; originally, the stage featured machines that automatically sent rolling boulders toward Kirby, but the designers felt that this was too menacing for such an early-game scenario, so they decided to add Waddle Dees running the machines to make it more comical. The developers enjoyed this gag so much that they put Waddle Dees into similar situations all across the game.


Additionally, Bandana Waddle Dee appears at many points to give Kirby or King Dedede an [[Assist Star]] that they can hold onto and use when necessary.

Waddle Dees can be thrown by King Dedede on the [[Dedede Arena]] stage. Additionally, [[Waddle Dee Train]]s appear as hazards in the [[Waddle Dee Train Tracks]] stage.
===''Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe''===
Waddle Dees appear in a few levels of ''Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe'' as standard enemies. King Dedede can also wear a mask resembling a Waddle Dee, obtained if the game detects ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' StreetPass data on the system.
After clearing [[C-R-O-W-N-E-D (Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe)|C-R-O-W-N-E-D (Reprise)]], the secret staff credits show that the hand puppets seen in various parts of the game are actually being puppeteered by a Waddle Dee.


===''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse''===
===''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse''===
Waddle Dees appear in a number of different roles in this game. There are two main enemy types; the first being a ground-based Waddle Dee who wears a hard hat and holds a cannon over its head, and another who takes the shape of a submarine (but is still just called 'Waddle Dee') and chases Kirby down in underwater areas. Three different shades of [[Bandana Waddle Dee]] also appear to help Kirby out.

Aesthetically, Waddle Dees can also be seen with hard hats, or cyborg eyepieces. They can also be seen carry spiked bars and doing other things that are generally annoying to Kirby.

Additionally, Waddle Dees were planned to be playable at some point during the development of ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]'', but the idea was scrapped.<ref>{{Cite|今月のあいことばとハンターズプチ情報ダヨォ!<br>

===''Kirby Fighters 2''===
In ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'', two Waddle Dees appear in [[Story Mode: The Destined Rivals]] as the bosses of Chapter 2: Secret of the Substitutes. They take the appearance of [[King Dedede & Meta Knight]] and are referred to as "substitutes" of those characters, though their attack patterns are noticeably different. Additionally, [[Bandana Waddle Dee]] appears as a playable character, and the [[Dedede Arena]] and [[Waddle Dee Train Tracks]] stages return from ''Kirby Fighters Deluxe''. Waddle Dees also appear to toss food and other items at the fighters in the new [[Gourmet Go Go]] stage and signify the start of "races" where King Dedede appears as a stage hazard.
 
===''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''===
[[File:KatFL Reveal Trailer Screenshot 7.png|thumb|250px|Three Waddle Dees being freed from a cage in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''. The one in the middle is redder compared to the others.]]
In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', many Waddle Dees are taken hostage by the [[Beast Pack]], and can be found trapped in cages. In this way they function as [[item#Collectibles|collectibles]]. Kirby's primary objective is to free them. A gold cage containing three Waddle Dees marks the endpoint of each regular stage, while many other silver cages containing single Waddle Dees can be found along the way, with goals in each level rewarding more Waddle Dees. As Waddle Dees are rescued by Kirby, they populate the [[Waddle Dee Town]], and the more rescued, the bigger and more complex the town becomes. Later in the game, it is discovered that [[Leongar]] is putting them to work powering [[Lab Discovera]]. Notably, Waddle Dees in this game come in a more subtle variety of colors, with there being seven possible shades a Waddle Dee's skin can be. All Waddle Dees in the game have randomly assigned skin colors except for the ones in [[Downtown Grassland]], [[Through the Tunnel]], [[Welcome to Wondaria]], and [[In the Presence of the King]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ObscureKirby/status/1512154434394071041 Obscure Kirby Media & Facts on Twitter]</ref>

===''Kirby's Dream Buffet''===
[[File:KDB Grand Prix backstretch screenshot.png|thumb|250px|In ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'', Waddle Dee racers join the Kirbys, though they are mostly harmless.]]
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', four Waddle Dees join the Kirbys in the Race courses as [[CPU]] opponents. Their goal is to roll slowly along the course until they reach the end. Unlike Kirbys, the Waddle Dees cannot pick up [[Strawberry|strawberries]] or interact with [[Food Box]]es or [[Copy Food]] items, but they can bump into the Kirbys and they are capable of [[hover]]ing when they go off the edge of a track. They also do not appear on the results screen.
 
Each Waddle Dee opponent is given a randomized name from a short list. For that list, see the [[CPU#Waddle_Dee_names|Waddle Dee names]] section of the CPU page. Sometimes, Waddle Dees can be seen with [[Costumes]] on.
 
Waddle Dees also appears as several [[Character Treat]]s in the game, being depicted in both artwork and sprite form from ''Kirby's Dream Land'' as well as using artwork from the [[Kirby Café]]. Other more specific Waddle Dee types and characters also get their own Character Treats.

This spirit can be obtained by battling it in the [[smashwiki:Spirit Board|Spirit Board]] or in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], where it possesses four orange [[Kirby (species)|Kirbys]]. The spirit battle takes place on the [[smashwiki:Dream Land GB|Dream Land GB]] stage. It can also be obtained by purchasing it from the [[smashwiki:Shop|Shop]] or by scanning the Waddle Dee amiibo.
 
==In ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!''==
{{main|Waddle Dee (anime character)}}
[[File:KRBaY Waddle Dee artwork.png|thumb|right|125px|Artwork of a Waddle Dee from ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'']]
In the anime series, Waddle Dees are portrayed as indistinct servants of [[Castle Dedede]], and are charged with tending to any/all of the needs of the [[King Dedede (anime character)|King]] and his court. Unlike in the game series, Waddle Dees in the anime do not speak, although they do seem to communicate silently to each-other; a notion that is implied by [[Captain Waddle Doo]] in the episode [[Pink-Collar Blues]] when the Waddle Dees are forced en-mass out of the castle. It is also during this episode that Dedede and the rest of the court realize just how many Waddle Dees have taken up residence in the castle, as their procession out creates a line miles long.
 
Castle Dedede's Waddle Dee servants are presumed to have been living in the castle since long before King Dedede himself took ownership of it. They work as servants without pay in exchange for the food and lodgings which the castle provides. They are also for unstated reasons obligated to do whatever King Dedede says, even if that means being put up for sale in vending machines; as is done in the episode [[Waddle While You Work]].
 
At the end of [[Pink-Collar Blues]], when the Waddle Dees return, they perform the first instance of the [[Kirby Dance]] in the show, which is something that Kirby himself had not yet been doing. Once Kirby joins them, the implication is that the Waddle Dees had taught him this dance.

==In the ''Kirby'' novel series==
{{ImCap|image=File:Novel Waddle Dees Artwork V18.png|size=125px|align=right|caption=Artwork of the Waddle Dees from the novel ''[[Kirby: Uproar at the Kirby Café?!]]''.}}
{{main|Waddle Dees (novel characters)}}
The Waddle Dees are recurring characters in the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], first appearing in ''[[Kirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!]]''. Unlike their appearance in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], they didn't exist as a species, but instead they were created as copies of [[Waddle Dee (novel character)|Waddle Dee]] in ''Kirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!''. At the end of the novel, [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]] takes them as servants and from then on, they work for him, mostly serving him food. They also see the original Waddle Dee as their leader, and call him "Bandana-senpai".

*''Dream Land is filled with these carefree creatures, strolling from place to place. Generally peaceful, their slow pace can be a problem when Kirby's in a hurry. Waddle Dees take on all kinds of jobs around the land, from guard to lumberjack. They also sometimes use parasols to float down through the skies!''


====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''====
===[[Play Nintendo]]===
In [[Super Smash Bros. 4|''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'']], Waddle Dees no longer appear in King Dedede's moveset, but one of his new alternative costume features a Waddle Dee pattern. They still appear in his entrance animation and a victory pose.
'''''Dream Land is filled with these little fellows, strolling from place to place.'''<br>Generally peaceful, their slow pace can be a problem when Kirby’s in a hurry. Waddle Dees take on all kinds of jobs around the kingdom, from guard to lumberjack. Talk about talented!''


Waddle Dees and [[Parasol Waddle Dee]]s appear as enemies in the [[smashwiki:Smash Run|Smash Run]] mode.
===Kirby Portal===
*''Waddle Dees are the most common inhabitants of Dream Land. While mostly harmless, some Waddle Dees have been known to loyally serve King Dedede.''


Interestingly, while no standard Waddle Dee trophy appears in either game, a [[Parasol Waddle Dee]] and [[Waddle Doo]] trophy can be found.
==Trivia==
 
*In most games, Waddle Dees are the first enemies to be seen by Kirby when traversing the first stages. If this distinction belongs to another enemy, then their appearance or function is similar to a Waddle Dee.
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
*On April 1st, 2018, Kirby's Japanese official website released a special page called "[[Waddle Dee 25th Anniversary]]" as an April Fool's joke.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Waddle Dees still appear in King Dedede's entrance animation, a victory pose, and an alternative costume.
=====Spirit=====
Waddle Dee (artwork from ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'') appears as a [[smashwiki:Spirit|Primary Spirit]] (★★ Advanced, Neutral-type, 3 slots), which can be enhanced into [[Bandana Waddle Dee]]. To obtain this spirit, a spirit battle must be fought, involving four orange Kirbys on the [[smashwiki:Dream Land GB|Dream Land GB]] stage.
 
==''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!''==
{{stub}}
In ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' the anime, all Waddle Dees are [[King Dedede (anime)|King Dedede]]'s servants and they are led by [[Waddle Doo (anime)|Captain Waddle Doo]]. Waddle Dees in the show cannot speak but they can eat food despite not having a visible mouth.
 
It is shown in the episode "''Waddle While you Work''" that they will work for anyone who gives them orders, but are ultimately loyal to [[Waddle Doo (anime)|Captain Waddle Doo]]. They also seem to make mistakes. Like when the Waddle Dees made King Dedede's drink too hot, and instead of getting him cold water to drink they used a hose. There are lots of them and all of them have spears, as shown in "Waddle While you Work" when Captain Waddle Doo calls them and they all get spears and try to save King Dedede.

I'm kind of shy, so I don't know why they picked me for this!
— Waddle Dee in Kirby Battle Royale

Waddle Dees are a species of very peaceful creatures that are a common sight in Dream Land, in the wider Popstar region, and on many other planets. Named for their waddling gait, Waddle Dees are about the same size as Kirby, and have a slightly pear-shaped body with orange-red skin, fingerless stubs for arms, and two feet which are typically yellow, but may also be tan or a light orange. Their faces are tan in color and consist of two dark brown eyes, two cheek blushes, and no mouth or nose (though Waddle Dees are known to speak and eat despite lacking mouths). While most Waddle Dees are orange or red, there also are green, yellow, blue, or golden Waddle Dees to be found.

Overall, Waddle Dees are depicted as peaceful denizens of Dream Land that seldom fight actively. Instead, they usually just waddle around in stages and leap in the air occasionally, neither paying attention to, nor actively attacking Kirby. While they are generally not much of a threat, they usually damage Kirby if they run into him or if he touches them. Many, but not all Waddle Dees seem to have affiliated themselves with King Dedede, and those that have usually show a great amount of respect and loyalty towards their leader, even if they sometimes acknowledge his character flaws. King Dedede often employs them as servants, soldiers, and guards, giving the latter of these spears to use to varying degrees of effectiveness. Among the most loyal of these is Bandana Waddle Dee, named after his blue bandana, who also happens to be friends with Kirby.

Waddle Dees first appeared in Kirby's Dream Land, making them one of the oldest types of enemies to be found in the whole Kirby series. They have subsequently reappeared in one form or another in every game in the series, becoming arguably just as iconic as Kirby himself. Waddle Dees may be compared to the Goomba species from the Mario franchise as both are considered to be common, ubiquitous, basic enemies who may be found in many roles and varieties, and have individual stand-out members.

Varieties of Waddle Dee[edit]

Main article: Waddle Dee (disambiguation)

There are many entities in the Kirby series that are either variants of Waddle Dees, distinguished Waddle Dees, or similar to Waddle Dees. Due to the sheer volume of these varieties, they have been moved to a separate page. See Waddle Dee (disambiguation) for a list of such variants.

Kirby's Dream Land[edit]

Artwork originating from Kirby's Dream Land.

KDL Waddle Dee sprite.png Waddle Dees make their first appearance in Kirby's Dream Land. Like in most of the games to follow this installment, they are depicted as one of the weakest types of enemies, possessing no means to attack Kirby other than to accidentally bump into him, though they do move more erratically in the Extra Game. The Parasol-wielding variant of the Waddle Dee is also first seen in this game, using its parasol as a parachute to glide down to the ground; as the game contains no Copy Abilities, however, they do not yield the Parasol ability. Waddle Dees appear in every stage of the game.

Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[edit]

KA Waddle Dee sprite.png Waddle Dees make another appearance in Kirby's Adventure, as well as in the remake Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, again serving as one of the weakest foes Kirby faces during his journey. When appearing as Parasol Waddle Dees, they can be inhaled to give Kirby the Parasol ability. Parasol Waddle Dees are one of the common sources for the Parasol ability, the other ones being Parasol Waddle Doo and the parasol from a Parasol Shotzo. Waddle Dees can also be found in different colors in the remake.

Waddle Dee is ubiquitous throughout the stages in these games, being absent from only a handful. Waddle Dee can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby's Pinball Land[edit]

Waddle Dee appears in the bonus game of Wispy-Woods Land, as the first enemy patrolling the top of the block line. When collided into, he is defeated and yields 5000 points.

Kirby's Dream Course[edit]

KDCWaddleDee.png Waddle Dees appear in Kirby's Dream Course as common enemies on the courses. They always remain stationary and yield no ability when bumped into. In this game, they function exactly the same as Kabus, Broomhatters, and Squishys.

In Kirby's Dream Course, Waddle Dee can be found in the following courses and holes:

Kirby's Avalanche[edit]

A sniveling little whiner, you will find Waddle Dee to be the easiest of the bosses to defeat.
— Kirby's Avalanche Instruction Booklet (North American print), page 21

KAv Waddle Dee cutscene sprite.png In Kirby's Avalanche, a Waddle Dee is the first opponent in Easy mode, never being fought in any other game mode. He is the easiest opponent and seems to simply place Puyos at random, never rotating them. His Puyo Puyo equivalent is Skeleton T.

Kirby's Dream Land 2[edit]

KDL2 Waddle Dee sprite.png In Kirby's Dream Land 2, two basic types of Waddle Dees exist, both of which walk in a straight line and turn around when reaching an obstacle. The difference between them is that one type is able to jump and walk up and down slopes, while the other is unable to do either of these things.

A less common, very fast-moving type of Waddle Dee can also be found in a few locations; this form appears behind Kirby once he reaches a certain point in a level, attempting to dash into him but stopping when he faces him. Furthermore, some Waddle Dees can be seen holding Floaty the Drifters, Kirby's Dream Land 2's equivalent of Parasols, enabling them to slowly glide down from above.

Waddle Dees can be defeated instantly by hitting them with any attack or colliding with them. They award Kirby with 100 points when inhaled, and 200 points when destroyed in any other way.

Waddle Dee can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby's Block Ball[edit]

KBBa Waddle Dee sprite.png Waddle Dees appear as common enemies in Kirby's Block Ball. They are worth 300 points when bumped into and defeated and will drop food.

Kirby's Toy Box[edit]

In Kirby's Toy Box, a single Waddle Dee appears in the Pinball mini-game as a static target worth 100 points. It can only be hit if Kirby rolls behind Kracko.

Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]

Artwork of Parasol Waddle Dee from Kirby Super Star

KSS Waddle Dee.png KSSU Waddle Dee Sprite.png Waddle Dees reappear in Kirby Super Star and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra. While they retain their usual role as a common enemy, a Parasol Waddle Dee also serves as the Helper that can be created from the Parasol ability. The Helper is much more capable during battle than his enemy counterparts, being able to use the same moveset as Parasol Kirby. A Waddle Dee in a sailor garb also gets introduced as one of Meta Knight's henchmen during his conquest to take over Dream Land. Yet another Waddle Dee appears in The Arena as a joke opponent; this Waddle Dee has more health than regular ones but does not move, instead walking in place until defeated.

Aside from the introduction of spear-wielding Waddle Dees, another Waddle Dee character wearing a blue bandana appears in the Revenge of the King mode of Kirby Super Star Ultra. He first is fought as a Mid-Boss, and later can be spotted alone in the audience during Kirby's fight with Masked Dedede. After Kirby wins the fight, he can be seen accompanying a miserable King Dedede on his walk into the sunset, along with dozens of other Waddle Dees.

In Kirby Super Star Ultra, Waddle Dee also appears on two cards in Kirby Card Swipe, one of which depicts him in a cart. He also appears as a target in Kirby on the Draw wearing a cowboy inspired outfit.

Waddle Dee can be found in the following places in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra:

Kirby's Star Stacker (Game Boy)[edit]

Player 2 controls a Waddle Dee in the Vs. Mode of Kirby's Star Stacker on the Game Boy.

Kirby's Dream Land 3[edit]

Artwork from Kirby's Dream Land 3

KDL3 Waddle Dee Sprite.png In Kirby's Dream Land 3, Waddle Dees are once more encountered as common foes throughout the game. Here, they possess two basic types of movements: they are either found pacing back and forth in a predefined area or moving in a straight line until they run into an obstacle, jumping occasionally. As the game does not assign health meters to enemies, they, like most other adversaries, can be defeated in a single hit from any attack or by colliding with them.

Besides walking around, Waddle Dees can occasionally be found riding on Nruffs, though they are thrown off when their steed slams into a wall. Furthermore, a few Waddle Dees can be seen rowing orange paddle boats back and forth on the water in certain areas; attacking these specimens destroys their boat, causing them to fall into the water and be defeated. Kirby's Dream Land 3 is notable for being one of the few games in which Waddle Dees never hold a Parasol, due to the enemy being absent from the game.

Apart from regular Waddle Dees, the game also features Wapods, ghost-like enemies that strongly resemble Waddle Dees in looks, but not in behavior. Waddle Dees can also be found riding in rafts in bodies of water.

In Kirby's Dream Land 3, Waddle Dee can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby's Star Stacker (Super Famicom)[edit]

KSSS Waddle Dee sprite.png A Waddle Dee serves as the first opponent in the Story Mode in the Super Famicom version of Kirby's Star Stacker. Naturally, it is the easiest to defeat.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards[edit]

Main article: Waddle Dee (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)
Artwork of Waddle Dee from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

While Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards does not feature Waddle Dees as enemies like usual - N-Z assumes the role as the weakest type of enemy - a single Waddle Dee appears as a character in that game. After he gets possessed by Dark Matter (temporarily turning him into a Waddle Doo) and defeated and released by Kirby, he gladly joins Kirby's and Ribbon's quest and becomes their ally. From that point on he sometimes appears in various levels and helps Kirby out, often by providing vehicles and opening paths. He can also be seen at the end of every level during the Bonus Game.

Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble[edit]

This little guy will be found throughout the courses. Each time Kirby touches him, some of Kirby's vitality will be taken away.
— Description from Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble North American instruction booklet

KTnT Waddle Dee.png Waddle Dees appear as common enemies in Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, and typically only walk back and forth. Apart from getting in the way, they are not particularly threatening and can be defeated easily by popping the Game Boy Color up to turn them into star pieces. When groups of four Waddle Dees are together, they can be flipped into blue star pieces.

A Waddle Dee also appears in the Sub-Game Kirby's Hurdle Race as the flag-waver.

In Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Waddle Dee can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby Air Ride[edit]

Waddle Dees appear in Air Ride mode as enemies on the race tracks, where they can be seen either on foot or riding in mine carts. The ones on foot will attempt to run out of the way when racers approach.

In Kirby Air Ride, Waddle Dee can be found in the following places:

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror[edit]

KNiDL Waddle Dee sprite.png Waddle Dees once again take their role as enemies in the game Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. These Waddle Dees do not live in Dream Land however, but in the Mirror World, and can be commonly found in every major area of it. Aside from regular Waddle Dees, a bigger version of them known as Big Waddle Dee can also be found. Aside from their size, though, they do not possess any more strength or health than the smaller Waddle Dees and can easily be defeated in one hit.

Kirby: Canvas Curse[edit]

KCC Waddle Dee sprite.png In Kirby: Canvas Curse, regular Waddle Dees, along with two new variants appear. The first, called Fluff Waddle Dee, floats down on a fluff, similarly to Parasol Waddle Dee, with the difference being that the fluff version does not give a Copy Ability due to Parasol's absence in this game. The second variant, called Spear Waddle Dee, holds a spear, which he can throw at Kirby. Spear Waddle Dees usually appear as a type of Mid Boss. Both variants, as well as the regular version, have the same appearance when stunned.

KCC Waddle Dee Ball sprite.png A playable Waddle Dee ball is unlocked if the game is beaten once. He cannot use Copy Abilities, like every other playable character besides Kirby. Aside from always having four hit points, he has the same stats as Kirby.

In Kirby: Canvas Curse, Waddle Dee appears in the following locations (note that Fluff Waddle Dee and Spear Waddle Dee have their own tables, and will not be counted here):

Kirby: Squeak Squad[edit]

In Kirby: Squeak Squad, Waddle Dees appear as common enemies and can be controlled by using the Ghost ability. However, the only thing they can do is jump. In addition to this, a golden variant appears, giving a treasure chest if defeated.

Waddle Dee can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby's Epic Yarn / Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn[edit]

KEY Waddle Dee artwork.png
Yarn Waddle Dee artwork from Kirby's Epic Yarn.

Waddle Dee re-appears in Patch Land, however according to an in-game interlude, the Waddle Dees made of yarn are not actually Waddle Dees (servants of King Dedede), but rather creations of Yin-Yarn. Unlike Waddle Dees from other games, running into Yarn Waddle Dees will not hurt Kirby. However, sometimes Waddle Dees do try to attack Kirby through the use of arrows (Bow Waddle Dee) and spears (Spear Waddle Dee). In the Off-Roader segments of the game, Waddle Dees appear riding dune buggies (in this appearance they are called Truck Monster) in a race between them and Kirby. In the snowier stages Snowy Fields and Evergreen Lift, individual Waddle Dees roll up hazardous snowballs which can trap Kirby. Waddle Dees also appear in numerous stages as hapless foes and bystanders, can appear asleep, or carry Parasols (Parasol Waddle Dee) and Balloons (Balloon Waddle Dee). Waddle Dees also make a small appearance in the Squashini boss fight as part of an audience. In addition to this, a single Waddle Dee is seen burning in the Hot Wings fight, and King Dedede's Waddle Dees can be seen in some cutscenes. In Castle Dedede, a Big Waddle Dee can be seen guarding the throne room. This Waddle Dee is not mentioned in the Patch Plaza.

In Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, Waddle Dees make an appearance in the first, second and fourth stages of the Sub-Game Slash & Bead. Here, they are entirely harmless but can be defeated with Meta Knight's sword or his Special for some extra beads.

In Kirby's Epic Yarn, Waddle Dee can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby Mass Attack[edit]

KMA Waddle Dee Sprite.png In Kirby Mass Attack, Waddle Dees throw small bombs. Sometimes they throw nuts (and Fruit) from palm trees. They also throw bombs while inside paintings, or behind fake walls. There is a single Gold Waddle Dee, which runs away from the Kirbys like in Kirby: Squeak Squad; unlike the golden Waddle Dees in that game, however, defeating it is necessary to clear the Checklist.

Waddle Dee can be found in the following levels and stages in Kirby Mass Attack (note that this does not include variants such as Big Waddle Dee):

Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]

In-game appearance of a Waddle Dee in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

Waddle Dees reappear in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake, exhibiting similar behavior to the Waddle Dees in other games. Waddle Dees come in different sizes, ranging from small to large ones. Larger ones need to be super inhaled in order for Kirby to inhale them and resemble Big Waddle Dees from previous games. Waddle Dees often come in Puppet Waddle Dees, a large Waddle-Dee shaped container with three Waddle Dees in it. Waddle Dees can also be sometimes seen riding Nruffs.

There is a similar enemy in Halcandra who boasts a gray color scheme and wears a hood. These are called Halcandle Dees and can also come in large, Parasol-wielding, and armor varieties.

Bandana Waddle Dee appears as a playable character in this game.

In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Waddle Dee can be found in the following levels and stages:

In Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, many Waddle Dees feature greatly in Merry Magoland and some of its Sub-Games, with some bearing their various colorations from Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Some of them also appear as Park-Staff Waddle Dees, wearing blue and yellow caps with a mini microphone. When performing an Emote near any Waddle Dees, they will also wave back at the player. Some of them also wear Dress-Up Masks, notably the ones the player has unlocked so far throughout the game. Finally, Souvenir Shop Waddle Dee appears in various modes where appropriate, giving Kirby the option to take along a Souvenir Item or choose a Dress-Up Mask.

There are three Dress-Up Masks based on Waddle Dees, including Park-Staff Waddle Dee and Bandana Waddle Dee, with the regular Waddle Dee mask given upon first visit to Merry Magoland, and the last two for completing Stamp Rally cards #21 and #33, respectively.

Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition[edit]

Waddle Dees, along with the rare Golden Waddle Dee, appear in the New Challenge Stages as enemies to be plowed through.

Additionally, Bandana Waddle Dee, along with other normal Waddle Dees are present in the game's intro movie.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]

Waddle Dees can sometimes be found in strange formations, as seen here in Kirby: Triple Deluxe.

Waddle Dee appears again as a common enemy in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. They also appear as woodcutters who cut down trees in the background, operating roving tanks, manning a steel fortress, and there are large and woolly, ghostly, and insectoid variants.

The developers mentioned in a Miiverse post that they believe this is the first time Waddle Dees have actively attacked Kirby in the series. However, they were designed in a way that they aren't attacking out of malicious intent, but rather, they happen to be doing things that unintentionally cause problems for Kirby. This came up during development when the designers were creating Fine Fields - Stage 3; originally, the stage featured machines that automatically sent rolling boulders toward Kirby, but the designers felt that this was too menacing for such an early-game scenario, so they decided to add Waddle Dees running the machines to make it more comical. The developers enjoyed this gag so much that they put Waddle Dees into similar situations all across the game.

Additionally, Bandana Waddle Dee appears at many points to give Kirby or King Dedede an Assist Star that they can hold onto and use when necessary.

In Kirby Triple Deluxe, Waddle Dee can be found in the following levels and stages:

Kirby Fighters Deluxe[edit]

Waddle Dees can be thrown by King Dedede on the Dedede Arena stage. Additionally, Waddle Dee Trains appear as hazards in the Waddle Dee Train Tracks stage.

Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe[edit]

Waddle Dees appear in a few levels of Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe as standard enemies. King Dedede can also wear a mask resembling a Waddle Dee, obtained if the game detects Kirby: Triple Deluxe StreetPass data on the system.

After clearing C-R-O-W-N-E-D (Reprise), the secret staff credits show that the hand puppets seen in various parts of the game are actually being puppeteered by a Waddle Dee.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse[edit]

Three different shades of Bandana Waddle Dee appear in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse to help Kirby out in multiplayer. Regular Waddle Dees do not appear as enemies, instead being replaced with Cottas.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

Waddle Dees returned as per usual in Kirby: Planet Robobot. In addition to the standard ones seen thus far, the following new and notable varieties are seen:

Aesthetically, Waddle Dees can also be seen with hard hats or cyborg eyepieces. They can also be seen carrying spiked bars and doing other things that are generally annoying to Kirby.

In Kirby: Planet Robobot, Waddle Dee can be found in the following levels and stages:

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe[edit]

While no standard Waddle Dees appear in this game, Bandana Waddle Dee and Sailor Waddle Dee appear as characters. Additionally, Team Kirby has to fight a Colossal Waddle Dee on several occasions.

Kirby's Blowout Blast[edit]

Waddle Dees are among the enemies that Kirby will need to eat in this spin-off title. Some can be seen wielding spears and will try to toss them at Kirby. Others will appear, then immediately run toward Kirby. In Extra Stages, Waddle Dees take on a purple coloration while their feet are a deep orange or brown.

Kirby Battle Royale[edit]

Bandana Waddle Dee appears in this title, helping Kirby out in the story mode of the game - Dedede's Cake Royale. Other Waddle Dees can be seen at the arena, including soldiers, spectators, servants, and the Channel PPP Crew.

Outside of Story Mode and after clearing the Bronze League, the player can play as a Parasol Waddle Dee.

Kirby Star Allies[edit]

Waddle Dees return as standard enemies in this title. They can appear in various sizes, and may also be found in Puppet Dee formation, or packed up into giant boulders. Additionally, Parasol Waddle Dee and Bandana Waddle Dee also appear, and can become part of Kirby's Star Allies team.

In Kirby Star Allies, Waddle Dees can be found in every level of the game except for Fortress of Shadows - Jambastion. This is because Jambastion has Jambelievers, which are similar to Waddle Dees in that they have no attack and provide no copy ability.

In Kirby Star Allies, Waddle Dees appear in the following levels and stages:

Super Kirby Clash[edit]

Much like its predecessor, no standard Waddle Dees appear in this game, but Bandana Waddle Dee, Parasol Waddle Dee and Colossal Spear Waddle Dee make an appearance. Waddle Dee stickers are also usable.

Additionally, Waddle Dees were planned to be playable at some point during the development of Super Kirby Clash, but the idea was scrapped.[1]

Kirby Fighters 2[edit]

In Kirby Fighters 2, two Waddle Dees appear in Story Mode: The Destined Rivals as the bosses of Chapter 2: Secret of the Substitutes. They take the appearance of King Dedede & Meta Knight and are referred to as "substitutes" of those characters, though their attack patterns are noticeably different. Additionally, Bandana Waddle Dee appears as a playable character, and the Dedede Arena and Waddle Dee Train Tracks stages return from Kirby Fighters Deluxe. Waddle Dees also appear to toss food and other items at the fighters in the new Gourmet Go Go stage and signify the start of "races" where King Dedede appears as a stage hazard.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land[edit]

Three Waddle Dees being freed from a cage in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. The one in the middle is redder compared to the others.

In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, many Waddle Dees are taken hostage by the Beast Pack, and can be found trapped in cages. In this way they function as collectibles. Kirby's primary objective is to free them. A gold cage containing three Waddle Dees marks the endpoint of each regular stage, while many other silver cages containing single Waddle Dees can be found along the way, with goals in each level rewarding more Waddle Dees. As Waddle Dees are rescued by Kirby, they populate the Waddle Dee Town, and the more rescued, the bigger and more complex the town becomes. Later in the game, it is discovered that Leongar is putting them to work powering Lab Discovera. Notably, Waddle Dees in this game come in a more subtle variety of colors, with there being seven possible shades a Waddle Dee's skin can be. All Waddle Dees in the game have randomly assigned skin colors except for the ones in Downtown Grassland, Through the Tunnel, Welcome to Wondaria, and In the Presence of the King.[2]

For more information on Waddle Dees as collectibles and the objectives Kirby must do in order to free them in this game, see this page.

There are multiple distinguished Waddle Dees to note. These are as follows:

Kirby's Dream Buffet[edit]

In Kirby's Dream Buffet, Waddle Dee racers join the Kirbys, though they are mostly harmless.

In Kirby's Dream Buffet, four Waddle Dees join the Kirbys in the Race courses as CPU opponents. Their goal is to roll slowly along the course until they reach the end. Unlike Kirbys, the Waddle Dees cannot pick up strawberries or interact with Food Boxes or Copy Food items, but they can bump into the Kirbys and they are capable of hovering when they go off the edge of a track. They also do not appear on the results screen.

Each Waddle Dee opponent is given a randomized name from a short list. For that list, see the Waddle Dee names section of the CPU page. Sometimes, Waddle Dees can be seen with Costumes on.

Waddle Dees also appears as several Character Treats in the game, being depicted in both artwork and sprite form from Kirby's Dream Land as well as using artwork from the Kirby Café. Other more specific Waddle Dee types and characters also get their own Character Treats.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

SmashWiki has more information about this subject here.

Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, a Waddle Dee only appears as a collectible trophy.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, King Dedede enters the stage on a palanquin carried by four Waddle Dees, and he is accompanied by a Waddle Dee in one of his victory poses. He can toss Waddle Dees at opponents as his side special move (Waddle Dee Toss), as well as summon them as part of his Final Smash (Waddle Dee Army).

In the Subspace Emissary, a lone Waddle Dee acting as King Dedede's bait can be seen in a cutscene with Luigi who cowers in fear of him, and several Dedede's Waddle Dees ambush Wario later in the cutscene.

There are two stickers featuring Waddle Dee. The first is the Waddle Dee from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, who grants 32 bonus damage for head-based attacks for any fighter. The other is the playable Waddle Dee Ball from Kirby: Canvas Curse, who grants 5 bonus damage for arm attacks for any fighter.

Waddle Dee also has a trophy in the game.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Waddle Dees no longer appear in King Dedede's moveset, but one of his color changes features a Waddle Dee pattern. They still appear in his entrance animation and a victory pose.

Waddle Dees and Parasol Waddle Dees appear as enemies in the Smash Run mode.

Interestingly, while no standard Waddle Dee trophy appears in either game, a Parasol Waddle Dee and Waddle Doo trophy can be found.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Waddle Dees still appear in King Dedede's entrance animation, a victory pose, and as part of a color change.

Spirit[edit]

Waddle Dee (artwork from Kirby Super Star Ultra) appears as a Primary Spirit (★★ Advanced, Neutral-type, 3 support slots, level one stats: 922 attack, 507 defense, level 99 stats: 3,691 attack, 2,031 defense), which can be enhanced into Bandana Waddle Dee (★★★ Advanced, Neutral-type, 3 slots, trait: Battering Items ↑, level 1 stats: 1,808 attack, 1,230 defense, level 99 stats: 5,424 attack, 3,692 defense). This spirit can be obtained by battling it in the Spirit Board or in World of Light, where it possesses four orange Kirbys. The spirit battle takes place on the Dream Land GB stage. It can also be obtained by purchasing it from the Shop or by scanning the Waddle Dee amiibo.

In Kirby: Right Back at Ya![edit]

Main article: Waddle Dee (anime character)
Artwork of a Waddle Dee from Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

In the anime series, Waddle Dees are portrayed as indistinct servants of Castle Dedede, and are charged with tending to any/all of the needs of the King and his court. Unlike in the game series, Waddle Dees in the anime do not speak, although they do seem to communicate silently to each-other; a notion that is implied by Captain Waddle Doo in the episode Pink-Collar Blues when the Waddle Dees are forced en-mass out of the castle. It is also during this episode that Dedede and the rest of the court realize just how many Waddle Dees have taken up residence in the castle, as their procession out creates a line miles long.

Castle Dedede's Waddle Dee servants are presumed to have been living in the castle since long before King Dedede himself took ownership of it. They work as servants without pay in exchange for the food and lodgings which the castle provides. They are also for unstated reasons obligated to do whatever King Dedede says, even if that means being put up for sale in vending machines; as is done in the episode Waddle While You Work.

At the end of Pink-Collar Blues, when the Waddle Dees return, they perform the first instance of the Kirby Dance in the show, which is something that Kirby himself had not yet been doing. Once Kirby joins them, the implication is that the Waddle Dees had taught him this dance.

In the Kirby novel series[edit]

Novel Waddle Dees Artwork V18.png

Main article: Waddle Dees (novel characters)

The Waddle Dees are recurring characters in the Kirby novel series, first appearing in Kirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!. Unlike their appearance in the Kirby series, they didn't exist as a species, but instead they were created as copies of Waddle Dee in Kirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!. At the end of the novel, King Dedede takes them as servants and from then on, they work for him, mostly serving him food. They also see the original Waddle Dee as their leader, and call him "Bandana-senpai".

Waddle Dee Trophy Melee.png Many delicate creatures like this one inhabit Dream Land. They generally live carefree lives and have never considered themselves to be followers of King Dedede. Waddle Dees are innocent and generally harmless to man and beast. While they have virtually no offensive or defensive power, they'll sometimes try to wield a parasol. Kirby's Dream Land - 8/92

Super Smash Bros. Brawl trophy[edit]

Waddle Dee - Brawl Trophy.png A carefree creature that wanders the hills and dales of Dream Land. Basically harmless to creatures great and small, Waddle Dees sometimes use parasols to float down through the skies. If Kirby swallows a parasol, he'll get one he can use to float or ward off enemy attacks. On the other hand, Kirby can't copy anything by swallowing Waddle Dees themselves. Kirby's Dream Land

amiibo[edit]

  • Dream Land is filled with these carefree creatures, strolling from place to place. Generally peaceful, their slow pace can be a problem when Kirby's in a hurry. Waddle Dees take on all kinds of jobs around the land, from guard to lumberjack. They also sometimes use parasols to float down through the skies!

Generally peaceful, their slow pace can be a problem when Kirby’s in a hurry. Waddle Dees take on all kinds of jobs around the kingdom, from guard to lumberjack. Talk about talented!

Kirby Portal[edit]

  • Waddle Dees are the most common inhabitants of Dream Land. While mostly harmless, some Waddle Dees have been known to loyally serve King Dedede.

Trivia[edit]

  • In most games, Waddle Dees are the first enemies to be seen by Kirby when traversing the first stages. If this distinction belongs to another enemy, then their appearance or function is similar to a Waddle Dee.
  • On April 1st, 2018, Kirby's Japanese official website released a special page called "Waddle Dee 25th Anniversary" as an April Fool's joke.
