King Dedede is the selfish, self-proclaimed king of {{s|wikirby|Dream Land}}. He has appeared as [[Kirby]]'s rival and nemesis in many ''Kirby'' games since ''Kirby's Dream Land''. He is a hammer-wielding penguin-like being with fine robes and a greedy disposition. His powers are vaguely similar to [[Kirby]]'s; he is able to puff himself up and float (although he only gained this ability through rigorous training after his first defeat at Kirby's hands), and suck up enemies and spit them out as projectiles (unlike Kirby, he cannot copy a foe's ability). While his more heinous actions are influenced by being possessed by Dark Matter, he is usually considered to be the main villain of the [[Kirby (universe)|''Kirby'' series]].
Kin' Dedede is th' se'fish, se'f-proclaimed kin' of {{s|wikirby|Dream Lan'}}. He has appeared as [[Kirby]]'s rival an' nemesis in menny ''Kirby'' games on account o' ''Kirby's Dream Lan'''. He is a hammer-wieldin' penguin-like bein' wif fine robes an' a greedy disposishun. His powers is vaguely similar t'[[Kirby]]'s; he is able t'puff hisse'f up an' float (although he only gained this hyar ability through rigo'ous trainin' af'er his fust defeat at Kirby's han's), an' suck up inemies an' spit them out as projeckiles (unlike Kirby, he kinnot copy a foe's ability). While his mo'e heinous ackshuns is influenced by bein' postessed by Dark Matter, he is usually cornsidered t'be th' main villain of th' [[Kirby (unyverse)|''Kirby'' series]].


However, a common misconception about King Dedede is that he is an "evil" character. He seems to be more selfish than evil, and appears to otherwise have a good heart. King Dedede's actions range from stealing food from the Dream Land residents in ''Kirby's Dream Land'' to breaking the [[Star Rod]], source of power in the [[Fountain of Dreams]], into seven pieces in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' (although this latter was to protect Dream Land from an evil it did not know about). However, he is not above teaming up with Kirby as a friendly rival on occasion, such as in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'', or ''Kirby: Canvas Curse''. King Dedede's relationship with Kirby is more along the lines of friendly competition, begrudging admiration, and annoyance on both sides than flat-out hatred or villainy. King Dedede also appears helping Kirby as a playable character in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land.''
Howevah, a common misconcepshun about Kin' Dedede is thet he is an "evil" chareecker. He seems t'be mo'e se'fish than evil, an' appears t'otherwise haf a fine heart. Kin' Dedede's ackshuns range fum stealin' grub fum th' Dream Lan' residents in ''Kirby's Dream Lan''' t'bustin' th' [[Star Rod]], source of power in th' [[Fountain of Dreams]], into seven pieces in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' (although this hyar latter was t'proteck Dream Lan' fum an evil it did not knows about). Howevah, he is not above teamin' up wif Kirby as a friendly rival on occashun, sech as in ''Kirby 64: Th' Crystal Shards'', o' ''Kirby: Kinvas Curse''. Kin' Dedede's relashunship wif Kirby is mo'e along th' lines of friendly competishun, begrudgin' admirashun, an' annoyance on both sides than flat-out hatred o' villainy. Kin' Dedede also appears he'pin' Kirby as a playable chareecker in ''Kirby's Return t'Dream Lan'.''


In ''Smash Bros.'', he is voiced by ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Kirby'' series creator, [[Masahiro Sakurai]], who also voiced Dedede in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''.

Dedede's designs in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' are inspired by his renditions in ''Kirby'' games in which his head is smaller and his body is larger. In his most recent titles, ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' and ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe,'' Dedede's head is larger and his body is smaller, akin to his pre-''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' designs. Many of his expressions in the latter ''Smash Bros.'' game are also taken from the aforementioned games.

King Dedede is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', making him the third playable character from the ''Kirby'' series. He wields his trademark hammer, swinging it in most of his standard attacks, like the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}, and has very powerful hammer-based attacks. His special moves are [[Inhale (King Dedede)|Inhale]], [[Waddle Dee Toss]], [[Super Dedede Jump]], and [[Jet Hammer]]. Inhale is very similar to Kirby's trademark move, but King Dedede lacks the ability to copy abilities. Waddle Dee Toss lets the king throw his minions at foes, sometimes producing not only [[Waddle Dee]]s but also more deadly [[Waddle Doo]]s and [[Gordo]]s. It is also possible for Dedede to throw out capsules containing items. Super Dedede Jump is an effective recovery move, sending King Dedede high into the air, then crashing into the ground to damage foes. He can also cancel out of doing this. Finally, King Dedede mechanizes his hammer with Jet Hammer. The hammer's power is charged up by holding the special attack button, and then released for a mighty swing. King Dedede incurs damage after charging for too long, however. His dash attack, forward smash, Inhale and Super Dedede Jump all come from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''.

Like other playable characters, King Dedede appears visually similar to his canon incarnations, but greatly enhanced graphically, most notably his usually uncovered girth (other than his patterned waistband, that is) is now covered by fine robes of a similar color, making his overall wear resemble a kimono. He also has several interesting costume colors, which not only change the color, but the design on his waistband too.

King Dedede returns as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. He has a more cartoonish look than his appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', reminiscent of his appearance in ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!''. He has gained a new Final Smash, [[Dedede Burst]].
Kin' Dedede returns as a playable chareecker in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. He has a mo'e cartoonish look than his appeareence in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', reminiscent of his appeareence in ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya! Fry mah hide!''. He has gained a noo Final Smash, [[Dedede Bust]].


King Dedede has seen a large fall from his previous [[tier list]] spot for ''Brawl'', now ranking 52nd out of 55 characters for ''SSB4''. While still maintaining his high power and [[disjointed]] reach with his hammer, he lost his effective [[chain grab]], a technique removed from ''SSB4''. This removes what made him so effective in ''Brawl''. His back aerial was also changed for the worse, no longer being as versatile as it once was. King Dedede also has a new side special: [[Gordo Throw]]. Since he now throws only Gordos, the new move has consistent power compared to the random nature of Waddle Dee Toss. However, this new attack can also be a hindrance for Dedede, as the Gordos are easily sent back to him by [[reflectors]] or any attack that does 2% or higher. His large size also makes him vulnerable to combos, as well as camping due to his slow movement. Due to the loss of his effectiveness from ''Brawl'', Dedede is regarded generally poorly in competitive play despite some notably high tournament results from players like {{Sm|Big D}}.

Official artwawk of Kin' Dedede fum Kirby: Squeak Squad. Kin' Dedede is th' se'fish, se'f-proclaimed kin' of Dream Lan'. He has appeared as Kirby's rival an' nemesis in menny Kirby games on account o' Kirby's Dream Lan'. He is a hammer-wieldin' penguin-like bein' wif fine robes an' a greedy disposishun. His powers is vaguely similar t'Kirby's; he is able t'puff hisse'f up an' float (although he only gained this hyar ability through rigo'ous trainin' af'er his fust defeat at Kirby's han's), an' suck up inemies an' spit them out as projeckiles (unlike Kirby, he kinnot copy a foe's ability). While his mo'e heinous ackshuns is influenced by bein' postessed by Dark Matter, he is usually cornsidered t'be th' main villain of th' Kirby series.

Howevah, a common misconcepshun about Kin' Dedede is thet he is an "evil" chareecker. He seems t'be mo'e se'fish than evil, an' appears t'otherwise haf a fine heart. Kin' Dedede's ackshuns range fum stealin' grub fum th' Dream Lan' residents in Kirby's Dream Lan' t'bustin' th' Star Rod, source of power in th' Fountain of Dreams, into seven pieces in Kirby's Adventure (although this hyar latter was t'proteck Dream Lan' fum an evil it did not knows about). Howevah, he is not above teamin' up wif Kirby as a friendly rival on occashun, sech as in Kirby 64: Th' Crystal Shards, o' Kirby: Kinvas Curse. Kin' Dedede's relashunship wif Kirby is mo'e along th' lines of friendly competishun, begrudgin' admirashun, an' annoyance on both sides than flat-out hatred o' villainy. Kin' Dedede also appears he'pin' Kirby as a playable chareecker in Kirby's Return t'Dream Lan'.

In Smash Bros., he is voiced by Super Smash Bros. an' Kirby series creato', Masahiro Sakurai, who also voiced Dedede in Kirby 64: Th' Crystal Shards.

Dedede's designs in Super Smash Bros. Brawl an' Super Smash Bros. 4 is inspired by his rendishuns in Kirby games in which his haid is smaller an' his hide is larger. In his most recent titles, Kirby's Return t'Dream Lan' an' Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Dedede's haid is larger an' his hide is smaller, akin t'his pre-Kirby: Squeak Squad designs. Menny of his expresshuns in th' latter Smash Bros. game is also taken fum th' afo'emenshuned games.

Howevah, acco'din' t'a page on th' Japanese Super Smash Bros. site, Kin' Dedede was planned t'be included as a playable chareecker, but was cut; Bowser an' Mewtwo is also menshuned as havin' been planned but cut, though no other info'mashun is available.

Trophy Dexcripshun

Dedede is th' se'f-proclaimed kin' of Dream Lan'. While he says he's kin', Dedede prefers no administrative funckshuns an' th' citizens of Dream Lan' corntinue t'live as they allus have. He's able t'suck in air an' fly like Kirby does, but only as a result of git-up-and-gitous trainin' he unnertook af'er bein' bested by Kirby.

Kin' Dedede in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Kin' Dedede is a playable chareecker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, makin' him th' third playable chareecker fum th' Kirby series. He wields his trademark hammer, swin'in' it in most of his stan'ard attacks, like th' Ice Climbers, an' has mighty pow'ful hammer-based attacks. His special moves is Inhale, Waddle Dee Tost, Super Dedede Jump, an' Jet Hammer. Inhale is mighty similar t'Kirby's trademark move, but Kin' Dedede lacks th' ability t'copy abilities. Waddle Dee Tost lets th' kin' throw his minions at foes, sometimes producin' not only Waddle Dees but also mo'e daidly Waddle Doos an' Go'dos. It is also postible fo' Dedede t'throw out capsules corntainin' items. Super Dedede Jump is an effeckive recovery move, sendin' Kin' Dedede high into th' air, then crashin' into th' groun' t'damage foes. He kin also kincel outta doin' this. Finally, Kin' Dedede mechanizes his hammer wif Jet Hammer. Th' hammer's power is charged up by holdin' th' special attack button, an' then released fo' a mighty swin'. Kin' Dedede incurs damage af'er chargin' fo' too long, howevah. His dash attack, fo'ward smash, Inhale an' Super Dedede Jump all come fum Kirby's Dream Lan'.

Like other playable chareeckers, Kin' Dedede appears visually similar t'his kinon incarnashuns, but greatly inhanced graphically, most notably his usually uncovahed girth (other than his patterned waistban', thet is) is now covahed by fine robes of a similar colo', makin' his on overall wears resemble a kimono. He also has sevahal interestin' costoom colo's, which not only change th' colo', but th' design on his waistban' too.

Kin' Dedede currently ranks 12th on th' tier list in C+ tier.

Trophy

Kin' Dedede trophy in Brawl. Th' se'f-styled kin' of th' amazin'ly peaceful Dream Lan'. He corntinually does thin's unbea-comin' a kin', like stealin' th' kin'dom's grub supplies o' all th' stars fum th' sky. He's not all bad, though, an' sometimes perfo'ms fine deeds. While he an' Kirby offen battle, they've been known t'compete fine-natured at speed-eatin' corntests an' minigames.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

Main article: Kin' Dedede (SSB4)
Kin' Dedede, as he appears in Super Smash Bros. 4.

Kin' Dedede returns as a playable chareecker in Super Smash Bros. 4. He has a mo'e cartoonish look than his appeareence in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, reminiscent of his appeareence in Kirby: Right Back at Ya! Fry mah hide!. He has gained a noo Final Smash, Dedede Bust.

Kin' Dedede has see a large fall fum his previous tier list spot fo' Brawl, now rankin' 52nd outta 55 chareeckers fo' SSB4. While still maintainin' his high power an' disjointed retch wif his hammer, he lost his effeckive chain grab, a technique removed fum SSB4. This hyar removes whut made him so effeckive in Brawl. His back aerial was also changed fo' th' wo'se, no longer bein' as vahsatile as it once was. Kin' Dedede also has a noo side special: Go'do Throw. On account o' he now throws only Go'dos, th' noo move has cornsissent power compared t'th' ran'om nature of Waddle Dee Tost. Howevah, this hyar noo attack kin also be a hindrance fo' Dedede, as th' Go'dos is easily sent back t'him by reflecko's o' enny attack thet does 2% o' higher. His large size also makes him vulnerable t'combos, as fine as campin' due t'his slow movement. Due t'th' lost of his effeckiveness fum Brawl, Dedede is regarded junerally porely in competitive play despite some notably high tournament results fum players like Trimenjus D.

Kin' Dedede
No'th South Car'lina He calls hisse'f th' Kin' of Dream Lan', but he don't haf a lot of interess in rulin'. He pow'ful loves t'eat, so it's no surprise he's a heavyweight fighter. Despite his size an' low speed, he kin easily recovah wif his four jumps. His Jet Hammer will leave a mark on ev'ryone he meets.
Europe Bein' a se'f-proclaimed kin', Dedede clearly don't care too much about th' whole "politics" thin's. He's jest a bit greedy. In this hyar game, his weight an' hef'y hammer make him slow, but he kin still jump four times in mid-air ennyway, makin' it easy fo' him t'git back t'th' stage. Fully charge his Jet Hammer fo' ultimate destruckshun.
Kin' Dedede (Alt.)

Af'er a spell it'll disappear. Eff'n an inemah hits one, it'll bounce back toward yo'. Use th' special agin t'whack it back at them! Fry mah hide!
