Fighter Summary:
King Dedede is the self-proclaimed ruler of Dream Land. While being the recurring villian of Dream Land, he is not so much an evil tyrant as he is a plain old bully. He once stole all the food from the residents of Dream Land, but Kirby fought him and saved the food. Since then, Kirby has been suspicious of King Dedede and King Dedede has been jealous of Kirby. Notably, King Dedede protects Dream Land just as much as Kirby. He once trapped Nightmare and broke the Star Rod with the help of Meta Knight. However, Kirby inadvertantly reassembled the Star Rod and released Nightmare. Thankfully, with the help of King Dedede and the Star Rod, Kirby destroyed Nightmare. Because of this heroism and the fact that he spots trouble first, King Dedede has occasionally been the target of possession by Dark Matter, who had to be chased out by Kirby. However, King Dedede above all else wants to beat Kirby at EVERYTHING! From flying to racing to eating, King Dedede will do anything Kirby does and try to do it better. When he eventually heard that Kirby was in SSS, he grabbed his huge mallet and a few Waddle Dees and headed off to join!

King Dedede's Moves:

STANDARD SPECIAL Moves

Inhale

After he got defeated by Kirby, King Dedede trained himself to fight like Kirby, and this is one of the moves he gained. Like Kirby, King Dedede can inhale his opponents, however he can't absorb the powers of them like Kirby can. Ironic, since this is the move Kirby gains if he inhales King Dedede!
UP SPECIAL Moves

Super Dedede Jump

King Dedede jumps up high into the air and his mighty Hammer into the ground hard! Very powerful yes, but also leaves Dedede wide open when he lands!
SIDE SPECIAL Moves

Waddle Dee Toss

King Dedede tosses one of his Waddle Dees at his opponent. The Waddle Dees actually waddle around as a hazard afterwards, similar to a Mr. Saturn. Sometimes, Dedede will use a spiky Gordo, or the beam-using Waddle Doo, which also will stay!
DOWN SPECIAL Moves

Jet Hammer

King Dedede's Hammer is actually mechanized, so he can charge up its power and then slam it for more damage to opponents. He can't save the charge, and he takes more damage when the hammer is charged up.
FINAL SMASH Moves

Waddle Dee Army

King Dedede whistles and a whole army of Waddle Dees charge in and attack everyone!
