His Majehsty King Dedede (デデデ大王 Greatestest King Dedede) (also known as The King, 'cuz that's what he is) is undisputable king of the Kirbeh series. Since de-butt-in' in Kirbeh's Dream Land as the main charactah, The King has kept on keepin' on bein' the prime specimin of the whole series, and ain't no one got a bigger base o' fans than he do.
After only putterin' about in Super Smash Bros. an' Super Smash Bros. Melee, The King took his rightful throne in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a playahbul charactah, and has stayed there evah since.
Or'gin
His Majehsty King Dedede is a healthy plump specimin of King that's blue in colah, and the King of Dream Land fer a bunch o' completely valid reasons tha' don' need elaboratin'. The King wears a royahl red coat with whaiyt furry trim and the symbol of his Kingdom on the back in yeller. The King also got yeller mitt'ns, a red floppy-cap-tuke-thing with a cute lil' pom-pom, an' a designah sash of triangles.
The King's most fearsome weapon is his big ol' hammah, an' he be a fool to leave home wit'out it. Not only is it good for just straight-up clobberin', but bein' the genius he is, The King also got installed a bunch o' science gadgets fer makin' it shoot flames or missl's. 'Sides from that, The King can also puff up 'n' float just like that copycat of a fool Kirbeh, an' loves givin' 'em the ol' suck-up-'n'-spit-out routine. 'Course, The King is already perfect, so he ain't about copyin' foes' powers.
Fer some reason, it's a wide belief that The King is a bad guy. This c'ain't be more further from the truth. Fer starters, anyt'in' actually "evil" that The King does is usually 'cuz some big-headed sorry sack o' shadows decided "y'know what, ah'm jelly-ous of The King, I'll go grab his body real quick for my nefarious deeds". Bein' as incredibl' as he is, The King gets targetted fer this sort of thing quite a lot, so his reputati'n's a bit on the sandy side. But even then, that accursed Kirbeh is somehow real dang good at paintin' The King's good deeds in black light. It weren't The King's fault tha' Naightmare was doin' evil things 'round the side, but he decided it was, and made all The King's hard work go down the sewers for it.
But The King's nothin' if not compassionayt. Sure, he hates Kirbeh as much as anyone with pennies fer a thought should. But The King ain't The King if he's gonna be so dumb-as-rocks as to not let Kirbeh get away with some things now and again. Kirbeh's useful to keep around and direct towards them universe-hatin' threats, after alls. He's even a decent rival in them eatin' contests from Kirbeh Supah Stah, when he ain't cheatin'.
The King is oft'n voiced by th' one-and-only Masahiro Sakurai.
In Super Smash Bros.
In Super Smash Bros., His Majehsty King Dedede sneeks a peek in the background of Dream Land. Accordin' to the official word, The King was s'posed to be in the actual game but didn' make the cut fer some reason 'r oth'r. But the King's fans represent, and called out the feds to the tune of 46 votes.[1]
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
Jus' like the previous game, The King is jus' hangin' in the background of Dream Land for Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Trophy
The King's likeness shows up as one o' them collectabble trophies. A real beaut, it is.
Trophy description
- His Majehsty King Dedede is the not-disputable king of Dream Land. He says he's king, an' the citizens of Dream Land ain't so dumb as to quession it nosirree. The King is able to suck in air and fly jus' like his arch-enemy Kirbeh, as a result of vig'rous trainin' specifically to show up the dang puffball.
- Kirbeh's Dream Land 9/92
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
As a playahbul charactah
His Majehsty King Dedede finally steps to it in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, joinin' Kirbeh and Meta Knight as reppin' the series. The King wields his trademark hammah with extreme prejudice, can suck in foes for spittin', deploys his beloved subjects into the field for extra support, and uses his crowd-pleasin' supahjump to recover no mattah how far some oaf knocks him askew.
The King is a force t' be reckoned with on the battlefield, mostly 'cause of his signature chain grab that invalidates suckers by itself, and it's so dang tootin' difficult to remove him from the arena that tryin' to KO him just ain't feasible fer most foes.
Trophy
The raightful king of the amazingly peaceful Dream Land. He continually makes other kingdoms weep with his perfect handlin' of any an' all royal situati'ns, and even takes time out of his busy day to do good deeds fer th' downtrodden populace. The King is often at arms with Kirbeh, despite this not bein' much of a fair fight fer the pink ball.

As a playahbul charactah
- Main article: King Dedede (SSB4)
His Majehsty King Dedede is back in Super Smash Bros. 4. Some o' his tricks are a mite different, such as only t'rowin' Gordos, but overall he's the same deadly hammerin' hustle o' bustle 'round any parts. Some say he ain't no good no more, but there's the trick: some.
Trophies
- King Dedede
He calls 'imself the King of Dream Land, an' don't you be forgettin' it, or y'all in for a world o' hurt. He really loves to eat, so it ain't no surprise he's a heavyweight faighter. Despite his size and low speed, he can eas'ly recover with his four jumps. His Jet Hammer will leave a mark on ev'ryone he meets.
Being the raightful king, The King clearly doesn't care too much about all these attacks on his pehrson. In this game, his weight and hefty hammer make him real beefy, an' he can jump four times in mid-air, makin' it easy for him to get back to the stage. Fully charge his Jet Hammer for ultimate dededestruction.
- King Dedede (Alt.)
- For the Gordo Throw side special, The King sends a Gordo bouncing with a hammer strike. It bounces off walls—or sometimes gets stuck in 'em. After a while it'll disappear like a punk. If an enemy hits one, it'll bounce back toward you. Use the special again to whack it back at them!
