File talk:SSB4 - King Dedede Screen-2.jpg

At first I thought it was the lighting of Mario Galaxy that made him look pink but its probably a palette swap --TheLegendaryKRB (talk) 11:18, 10 January 2014 (EST)

In Brawl, wasn't the gold on Dedede's hat silver in the pink palette swap? Did Sakurai say this was a palette swap or is there a chance the lighting made him look pink? SeanWheeler (talk) 12:06, 10 January 2014 (EST)

The idea that the lighting is causing this change is nonsense. Why would only all the red on his hat and robes change color when nothing else does, not even the parts of his body or clothing (crown) close to those edges? The robes are particularly notable since they aren't in direct view of the light source. In addition, take a look at other screenshots on the Mario Galaxy stage. No other character has changed color. Look at red characters. None are pink now. In fact, take a look at Dedede on Pyrosphere; despite the lighting on that stage causing more noticable effects than Mario Galaxy, he is still very clearly red. The fact that his crown isn't silver is likely either due to the fact that this is prerelease, or that they decided to change the palette to not include the silver. Sorry to be so blunt about this; I'm not usually like this, but this notion is really completely ridiculous. Whether or not this changes by release, this beta screenshot shows what is, or was during development, an alternate palette for Dedede. ♡ FirstaLasto ♥ 13:55, 24 June 2014 (EDT)
 * I found some images to further my point;
 * Mario, a red character, on Mario Galaxy.
 * Peach, a pink character, on Mario Galaxy.
 * Dedede on Mario Galaxy with his default colors.

 * As far as I'm concered, that image of Dedede 100% no-doubt-about-it confirms that this image is his red costume, because the hat in this completely and perfectly matches the coat in your example.

 * His robes are clearly red in that image, and the small part of his hat that you can see is white because the lighting puts thin white edges around the curves of models. Notice that part of the crown is also white. This is not what is occuring in the pink clothes image (especially since the white part is also visible there). Also, please look at the other two images. Mario has no pink on him at all, and Peach pretty much the same color as the pink clothes Dedede, with her base color already being that color. ♡ FirstaLasto ♥  14:32, 24 June 2014 (EDT)
 * Did you factor in Jet Hammer? Jet Hammer produces its own intense lighting, and Dedede is clearly using it here. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 14:34, 24 June 2014 (EDT)
 * [[Media:Jet_Hammer_SSB4.jpg]] [[Media:SSB4_-_King_Dedede_Screen-6.jpg]] [[Media:SSB4_-_Lucario_Screen-7.jpg]] The lightning produced is clearly not enough to make that sort of difference. Also, why would it make his robes pink? Once again, they arent in the line of sight of the light source. ♡ FirstaLasto ♥  14:39, 24 June 2014 (EDT)

I cut out the relevant parts of the image and put them here. I'd say they're most certainly part of the same costume. Toomai Glittershine The Golden 14:44, 24 June 2014 (EDT)
 * ...ah, so it's not the lighting, its one of those "everything around it makes it seem a different color" things. Thanks for clearing that up. Don't I feel stupid now >~< ♡ FirstaLasto ♥  14:49, 24 June 2014 (EDT)
