Character Description
King Dedede is the main antagonist of the Kirby series and the self-proclaimed ruler of Dreamland. He also has his servants, the Waddle Dees and the Waddle Doos. King Dedede resembles a large penguin-like creature dressed in red royal finery. He is always seen with his round red cap, which has a yellow or golden rim and a white ball at the top. He is able to suck in objects and spit them out in a manner similar to Kirby. Although Dedede is a villain, he is not necessarily evil. Nevertheless, he causes many problems for the inhabitants of Dream Land through selfish mischief. Despite this, he and Kirby have teamed up on occasions with the purpose of taking down common foes.

Attributes
King Dedede has the typical attributes of heavyweight characters: high KOing power, slow mobility and attacks, high range, fast falling speed and large size. His tilts and smash attacks, combine with one of the most versatile projectiles in the game, Waddle Dees, for devastating effect. Dedede's recovery puts together four mid-air jumps Up Special with great vertical distance, though he is quite predictable. Dedede's speed in his attacks is mixed between slow and fast, whereas his Smash Attacks are slow and his tilts are fast. Dedede has an infinite chain grabb, which is very benefitial for his size. He is also a very good defensive player, in spite of his large size. Dedede's attacks have very good range so he doesn't have to get close to his opponents to attack.
