Puppet Waddle Dee[Japanese title] is a large enemy that debuted in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It is a paper-like puppet resembling a large Waddle Dee, which is controlled by three regular Waddle Dees underneath. This outer shell gives the Waddle Dees more durability. It attacks by moving slowly toward Kirby and hitting him by contact, or by holding still and blocking off a walkway. When defeated normally, the costume explodes and the three Waddle Dees go flying, returning to regular enemies who will then proceed to waddle about as usual once they collect themselves, although it can be swallowed whole using Super Inhale. A robotic, more formidable (albeit slower) variation of Puppet Waddle Dee is the Armor Waddle Dee, which a variant of acts as a replacement for Puppet Waddle Dee in Halcandra. In Kirby Star Allies, Puppet Waddle Dee is weak against Fire/Sizzle-based attacks, burning up immediately and defeating the three Waddle Dees inside instantly.

The costume is quickly given away, as the craftsmanship is shoddy, with seams, stitches, and tape visible on the outside. Balls connected to sticks poke out of each side to appear as its arms, and four feet can be seen below, belonging to two out of the three Waddle Dees inside. The eyes on the puppet are holes, presumably allowing the third Waddle Dee to see out of the costume.
