Gordo

Gordo (, Gordo) is a regular enemy in the series.

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. A variant known as exists, originating in .

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Gordos can be thrown by '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  series to have this characteristic. Gordos that appear in King Dedede's Final Smash go at very high speeds, similar to the Waddle Dees/Doos, but are still less common, only appearing 1/4 of the time.

In Super Smash Bros. 4
Gordos reappear in Super Smash Bros. 4 as part of 's moveset, being the only enemy thrown by his new Gordo Throw.

In Smash Run
Gordos also appear as invincible hazards. They either remain stationary or move in a set path, and can also damage enemies.

Trophy
The Gordo trophy is exclusive to.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Gordos appear once more in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in 's moveset, still thrown by his Gordo Throw. They can now also be inhaled by characters like and Dedede himself.

Spirit
Gordo also appears as an Advanced-class primary spirit.

Gordo's Spirit Battle uses an army of Clear puppet fighters and is fought on the Green Greens stage. During the battle, the invisible King Dedede fighters favor their side special, Gordo Throw, so that Gordos seem to appear from out of nowhere to attack.

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.
