King Dedede is the tyrannical ruler of Dream Land and seems to constantly be up to some mischief. Much like Meta Knight, King Dedede seems to be a rival to Kirby and the two often fight. However, King Dedede has teamed up with Kirby and tried to help Dream Land in his own misguided way.

Background

Dedede debuted alongside Kirby and the rest of the series in Kirby's Dream Land. He had stolen the Sparkling Stars that allowed the people of Dream Land to gather food, as well as all the food they had already collected. Kirby made his way to Mt. Dedede, gathering the Sparkling Stars from four bosses along the way, and confronted the king in his castle. The two dueled in an anything goes wrestling match that ended with King Dedede sent flying.

Some time later, Dedede learned of Nightmare and his plan to attack the Dream Landers' dreams with the Star Rod. Dedede stole the Star Rod and broke it apart to prevent this, giving the pieces to his minions. Kirby confronts him at the Fountain of Dreams where the Star Rod once rested, then ran off before Dedede could explain his intentions and returned to fight the king once the scattered pieces had been collected. Dedede was unable to hold Kirby back as the latter returned the Star Rod, instantly summoning Nightmare. As Nightmare began his attack, Dedede sucked up Kirby and the Star Rod and sent them flying toward the monster. Dedede then joins Kirby on his return flight to Pop Star after Nightmare's defeat.

Other Roles

King Dedede is going to be a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Abilities

King Dedede is skilled in hammer combat. He can inhale enemies and shoot them out, much like Kirby. He can also use the inhaled air to fly the way Kirby does.
