Waddle Dee Army (ワドルディ軍団, Waddle Dee Corps) is King Dedede's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He whistles and dances to summon a large crowd of Waddle Dees that run across the stage for 10 seconds, damaging anything in their way and moving much more quickly than the Waddle Dees that King Dedede normally throws in Waddle Dee Toss. The stage background and obstacles also move more slowly than usual. Waddle Doos are also included in the crowd, although they don't shoot out any electricity beam but instead give an electric shock upon contact. The most dangerous part of this Final Smash is the fact that Gordos are also among the crowd, as they have high damage and knockback. When a Waddle Dee/Doo appears and lands on the stage, they will lift their left leg up then will either run to the left or right. When a Gordo spawns, it will drop vertically and then bounce to the left or right twice before disappearing. When a Waddle Dee/Doo runs to edge of the stage, it will sometimes jump off or run off without jumping but if it lands on a platform, it will charge again. However, if it lands on another platform it will disappear. During the Final Smash, King Dedede is immobile as he dances, and is also invincible.
The Waddle Dee Army gets its KOs by sweeping enemy players off the screen. Each Waddle Dee/Doo does low vertical knockback and an Gordo does strong diagonal knockback (Waddle Dee does 2%, Waddle Doo does 8% and Gordo does 15%) which, in great numbers on the ground, can rack up to a high amounts of damage (if character(s) are on the ground and are getting juggled by the stampede). During the Final Smash, Waddle Dees/Doos will damage upon contact. This is contrary to the Waddle Dee Toss in that Waddle Dees spawned as a result of that move do not damage except while being thrown. The Dees/Doos can still be attacked by characters or explosions, however there are so many of them it is hard to fight them off. Most KOs dealt with this Final Smash usually results from the opponents not being able to recover very far from the stage, as the Waddle Dees and Waddle Doos are constantly attacking the enemy while he/she is off the stage, pushing him/her away from the stage while making him/her lose all jumps and their third jumps in the attempt to recover back.

The dance that occurs in this move consists of King Dedede putting his mallet away, then facing the screen and whistling. The stage music is paused for 10 seconds while different music is played in its place. He then starts waving his left hand in a 'gimmie' style twice, does the same thing with his right, then repeats the motion with both of his hands. He does this 3 times (near the end of the Final Smash, he will begin to do it a fourth time but it will be cut off) and, finally, he puts his hands on his hips, laughs with angry eyes, and gets his mallet behind him, ready to be controlled.
Origin
Like the Waddle Dee Toss, the Waddle Dee Army is an attack crafted specifically for Brawl, although King Dedede does command a large army of the creatures in the Kirby games. They feature prominently in many games, and Dedede would occasionally summon some Waddle Dees in a similar (though less profuse) manner to assist him in Kirby: Squeak Squad.
Instruction Booklet Description
Call out an army of Waddle Dees, Waddle Doos and Gordos, who scramble around the screen causing damage to opponents.
Trophy Description
King Dedede's Final Smash. He whistles, and an army of Gordos, Waddle Dees, and Waddle Doos rain down and rampage, pummeling all in their way. After a bit, they'll pack it in and hit the road. Any left can be forcibly removed. They are fast and numerous, which makes it difficult to get through their ranks without taking any damage.
Trivia
- While in general the frequency of each minion type is the same as the Waddle Dee Toss, Gordos are slightly more common (having a 11.8% chance to appear, instead of a 8.2% one).
- Five of the many army members will always spawn beneath King Dedede. Because of this, positioning King Dedede strategically above/standing on the stage/platform increases the Final Smash's effectiveness.
- If one has used Waddle Dee Toss and then use Waddle Dee Army, the army that comes from the Final Smash still hits the Waddle Dee/Doo that has been thrown by the Waddle Dee Toss.
- There is a small vacuum pull underneath Dedede when the attack is in use. Any non-moving character under him will be pulled to Dedede's center.
- On the Waddle Dee Army trophy, no Gordos are present, despite the fact they do appear in the Final Smash.
- The Waddle Dee, Waddle Doo, and Gordo in Waddle Dee Army do less damage than Waddle Dee Toss.
- The Waddle Dees and Waddle Doos cannot be Inhaled or Chomped, unlike the ones thrown with the Waddle Dee Toss.
- If one pauses the game during this Final Smash, there is barely any music. If one listens closely, it can be heard, though it is much quieter.
