Good evening everybody! This is Aifos coming to you alive from Castle Dedede! And we’re here to talk about none other than the titular monarch himself; King Dedede!
When many people think of the King of Dreamland, they imagine a selfish, clumsy, and sometimes downright evil penguin, and fair enough. Between Kirby Right Back At Ya and his various antagonistic roles, he hasn’t exactly been built as the good guy.
But, if you take a closer look, and ignore his non-canon anime incarnation, he’s actually usually a more kind-hearted, if a little misguided, ruler, trying to do the best for his kingdom.
‘Course, doesn’t mean we’re gonna stop beating the crap out of him! Whether he’s possessed, donning an alter-ego, cloned, or just otherwise getting in Kirby’s way, King Dedede is the second most recurring character in the franchise, right behind Kirby himself! Being the rivals that they are, Kirby and King Dedede often come to blows, and so King Dedede has had many boss fights over the years!
Question is simple; which is your favorite?
[b][u]Tl;dr? Here’s my point![/u][/b]
Which King Dedede boss fight is your favorite? I didn’t include spinoff battles (such as the robo-Dedede from RtD) but, of course, they’re fair game!
My answer;
[spoiler]I’m personally a fan of the Dedede Clone & D3 Cannon from Planet Robobot.
The fight starts off standard, with one King Dedede using his standard moveset, but made of goop that looks like it came straight from Super Mario Sunshine. After getting his health about 1/3 (maybe 1/2..) he breaks into 3 mini Dededes, with the same attack patterns, but really small health bars. After beating each mini-Dedede 3 times, they hop in their secret weapon; the D3 Cannon, and the fight becomes a battle against a large mobile turret on top of a tower.
But the reason this boss fight really shines, is Planet Robobot’s glorious boss defeat animations. Like most bosses, they’ll look at their vehicle, checking over it to make sure it’s okay. When they realize it’s going to explode, they look at the camera with a face best described as “Oh gods..”, before blasting out into the sky, where each of the three mini Dededes explode into a fireworks show, with each of the three fireworks reading “D”.
If you didn’t put 2 and 2, or rather D, and D, and D together, the fireworks spell “DDD”.[/spoiler]
That’s all for now, folks! Jambuhbye!

1 ReplyI'd have to go with the first encounter I experienced, in Kirby's Adventure on NES. After beating him, he still tries to stop you from returning the star rod, but oops, to late, the big baddie Nightmare is loose now. Time to team up and finish the job. Thought that was a cool moment.
