[[Image:KirbySymbol.png|50px|left]]'''Gordo''' is a regular enemy in the [[Kirby (universe)|''Kirby'' series]] and is notorious for being impervious (usually) to attack. Contrary to what the Gordo trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' says, they have indeed been known to move -  either back and forth along a set line, by bouncing on the ground or by orbiting a platform.

Gordos appear in ''Super Smash Bros.

The [[Waddle Dee]]/[[Waddle Doo]]/Gordo appears when thrown at a ratio of 35:10:4 (there is an 8.2% chance of a Gordo appearing). They have very powerful vertical [[knockback]] (by far the greatest of the three), and they are capable of reliably KOing any character under 100%, even under 75% if not stale from repeated Waddle Dee Tosses. Unlike King Dedede's other minions, a thrown Gordo can be reflected back at the user. A thrown Gordo will bounce once, then disappear the next time it touches the ground. The Gordo is also unique as it behaves like an aerial attack in terms of [[priority]]. As such, a Gordo can collide with opposing hitboxes but cannot be canceled out. If it does come into contact with a hitbox that's within or above the priority range of the Gordo, the Gordo is not canceled out and it will continue along its natural trajectory while going through the opposing character without harming them. The Gordo is the only projectile in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'']] series to have this characteristic.

Gordo (ゴルドー, Gordo) is a regular enemy in the Kirby series

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Gordos can be thrown by King Dedede's side special move attack, Waddle Dee Toss, and also appear in his Final Smash, the Waddle Dee Army.

The Waddle Dee/Waddle Doo/Gordo appears when thrown at a ratio of 35:10:4, which means there is an 8.2% chance of a Gordo appearing. They have very powerful vertical knockback,by far the greatest of the three, and they are capable of reliably KOing any character under 100%, even under 75% if not stale from repeated Waddle Dee Tosses. Unlike King Dedede's other minions, a thrown Gordo can be reflected back at the user. A thrown Gordo will bounce once, then disappear the next time it touches the ground. The Gordo is also unique as it behaves like an aerial attack in terms of priority: as such, a Gordo can collide with opposing hitboxes but cannot be canceled out. If it does come into contact with a hitbox that's within or above the priority range of the Gordo, the Gordo is not canceled out and it will continue along its natural trajectory while going through the opposing character without harming them. The Gordo is the only projectile in the Super Smash Bros. series to have this characteristic.

Gordo

These little guys from the Kirby series look like metal balls with eyes and eight sharp spikes. They can't be defeated, so don't waste your time. Instead, try pushing your enemies onto them! Watch for two different kinds: one moves along a set path, and the other stubbornly sits in place.

Origin

Gordos debuted in Kirby's Dream Land, and later reappeared in several games. They are completely invincible and act as hazards: some of them remain stationary, while others move in a line or remain adjacent to walls and floors.

Trivia

  • Despite what the Brawl trophy description says, Gordos are able to move.
  • The Subspace Army enemy Jyk is very similar to Gordo, as both are obstacles that are harmful to the players when touched, are indestructible, and are either still or move along a fixed path.
