*Between his cameo in SSB and his appearance as a playable character in ''Brawl'', King Dedede was redesigned. In Kirby games released at the same time as SSB he looked a lot more like a penguin, his head was very large compared to the rest of his body, and his beak was a lot bigger. In more recent games, King Dedede has been anthropomorphised to look less like a penguin, his head is now more proportional to his body, and his beak is less prominent. However, in the ''Smash'' series he has always looks more similar to the old design than to the new one, with a large head and beak.

*Once fully charged, his sweetspotted [[Forward smash]] is actually a bit more powerful than a fully charged [[Jet Hammer]]. His Forward smash at full charge can KO opponents from about 45% and up, while his Jet Hammer at full charge starts to KO at about 50%. Despite this extra power, the Jet Hammer is much more quickly executed than King Dedede's Forward smash, but also has much shorter range. Even so, this speed disadvantage can be avoided. The Forward smash's [[hitbox]] actually moves with King Dedede's hammer as he brings it down in the attack's animation, making it quicker if used to hit opponents in front of and slightly above King Dedede's head.

*His name is probably based on the name of Gigigi, a four-dimensional creature, from William Sleator's 'The Boy Who Reversed Himself.'
 
King Dedede is a chubby penguin, and Gigigi was referred to as "repulsively fat."
