King Dedede's Army are major characters in the Kirby franchise. They are an assorted group of enemies who help King Dedede out in his schemes, usually consisting of Waddle Dees and Waddle Doos.
History[]
Kirby's Dream Land[]
King Dedede and his minions stole all of the food from the people of Dream Land and, either to simply cause strife or demoralize the people, also made off with the Sparkling Stars, which he gave to his various servants to guard. However Kirby set out to set things right, getting the Sparkling Stars back from each of Dedede's top henchmen, before engaging Dedede himself. Despite the king’s efforts, he was beaten by Kirby and knocked flying through the ceiling of his castle.
Kirby's Adventure/Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[]
After Nightmare took over the Fountain of Dreams to spread bad dreams, King Dedede took the Star Rod that powered it and gave its pieces to his most trusted friends, trapping Nightmare in the fountain unable to do anything. However, these actions also left the people of Dream Land unable to dream, giving Kirby the idea that Dedede was doing his usual mischief upon finding him swimming in the lake around the fountain. As Kirby recovered the Star Rod and replaced it (with Dedede trying to stop him), Nightmare was set free, so Dedede inhaled both Kirby and the Star Rod and spat them into space to take down Nightmare.
Kirby Super Star/Kirby Super Star Ultra[]
In "Spring Breeze", which serves as a simplified remake of the original Kirby's Dream Land, Dedede and his minions steal all the food in Dream Land, only to be defeated by Kirby and have the food returned.
The DS remake of Kirby Super Star, Kirby Super Star Ultra, adds in a game called "Revenge of the King", where King Dedede and his minions plot to destroy Kirby once and for all and again stole the Sparkling Stars in order to lure him into fights with stronger versions of enemies that he had beaten before. When Kirby managed to beat them all, Dedede, calling himself Masked Dedede, took him on, wielding an upgraded mecha hammer. However, he was once again defeated and sent flying out of his castle. During the credit sequence, Dedede was last seen walking off sadly, with his Waddle Dees following behind him. Masked Dedede later appears as the third last boss of the "True Arena".
Kirby's Battle Royale[]
King Dedede once again come up with an idea to destroy Kirby by inviting him to what he calls "The Cake Royale". Dedede and his minions build a machine that creates duplicates of Kirby and hosts a tournament, with the champion's prize being a giant cake. Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee were given an invitation to this tournament and they eagerly join, oblivious to the fact that it's another one of Dedede's traps. Dedede plans to defeat Kirby with his equally-skilled counterparts, causing him to be defeated and be humiliated in front of all of Dream Land. He eventually challenges them to a battle against himself and two of his strongest henchmen. When he loses, he tells Kirby to follow him down an elevator into his stadium's basement. Kirby gives chase and is confronted by a colossal robot called Dededestroyer Z, piloted by Dedede. Kirby destroys it and foils Dedede's scheme, causing the Kirby Printer to explode and Dedede to be launched into the distance.
Kirby's Fighters 2[]
In Kirby Fighters 2, Dedede once again hatches a new plan to defeat Kirby in the game's Story Mode "The Destined Rivals". He teams up with Meta Knight and challenges Kirby by sending him an invitation to the Buddy Fighters Tower. Before engaging in a duel against Dedede and Meta Knight themselves, Kirby and his partner are pitted against Twin Woods and then Gigant Edge and Ignite Edge, managing to defeat them both. When Kirby arrives at the tenth floor of the second chapter, Kirby and his partner battle two Waddle Dees disguised as Dedede and Meta Knight. On the fifteenth floor of the third chapter, Kirby and his partner encounter the real king and Meta Knight, once again defeating them. They escape further up the tower. On the summit at the thirtieth floor in the fourth chapter, the two once again attempt to defeat Kirby and lose. Despite continuing their battle by eating a Maxim Tomato to reenergize their strength, Kirby once again defeats them.
While taking a walk around Dream Land to wonder what next to do, Dedede notices the Buddy Fighters Tower rise higher in the sky, and demands Meta Knight fly him to the summit so they could once again battle Kirby and his partner. On the fiftieth floor, Kirby and his partner reach the summit, where Dedede and Meta Knight were waiting for them. Again, they are defeated and Meta Knight's mask breaks. Determined to defeat Kirby once and for all, Dedede and Meta Knight put on the Masks of Dark Bonds, transforming them into Waning Crescent Masked Dedede and Waxing Crescent Masked Meta Knight respectively and amplifying their power, ultimately going out of control. Despite their efforts however, the two are once again defeated and are blasted away into the distance, knocking the masks off of them. After facing another defeat at the hands of Kirby, Dedede proceeds to walk sorrowfully in the game's credits.
