Waddle Doo

Waddle Doo (, Waddle Doo) is a common enemy from the series, being a stronger variety of the Waddle Dee.

Origin
Waddle Doos debuted as enemies in Kirby's Dream Land and made several appearances in later games. They attack with an energy whip, exactly like the one they use in Smash, and give Kirby the Beam ability when swallowed.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Waddle Doos can be thrown by 's side special move attack, Waddle Dee Toss, and also appear in his Final Smash, the Waddle Dee Army.

A Waddle Doo is the second most common enemy thrown when Waddle Dee Toss is used, with the most common being a Waddle Dee and the rarest being a Gordo. The Waddle Dee:Waddle Doo:Gordo ratio is 35:10:4, meaning a Waddle Doo has a 20.4% chance of being thrown. When the Waddle Doo's body hits a target, it will deal slash damage. After being thrown, a Waddle Doo will walk forward and periodically use its beam attack, damaging any opponent caught in the beam as much as 27%. The beam's hitbox belongs to King Dedede. After it has used its beam attack three times, it will disappear.

When a Waddle Doo appears during the Waddle Dee Army, it falls and then runs across the stage in one direction, dealing electric damage (like its beam attack) to any opponent in its path for decent damage and knockback.

Unlike in the Kirby games, Kirby gains no ability when he swallows a Waddle Doo.

Beta elements
Hacking in the enemies file package of the Brawl disc has revealed data that appears to have been made for Waddle Doo, suggesting that it was planned to be included in the Subspace Emissary as an enemy.

In Smash Run
Much like Waddle Dees, Waddle Doos are no longer part of King Dedede's moveset. However, they appear in the Smash Run mode of as standard enemies, keeping their old behavior. Their beams can be nullified by reflectors, as well as Gravitational Pull, but they cannot be absorbed.

Waddle Doos appear as part of the -themed Vs. Enemy Team final battle.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Waddle Doo appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a spirit.
