Evolution of King Dedede Battles

King Dedede is Kirby's arch-enemy and the self-proclaimed king of Dream Land (he also has one of the greatest themes of all time). Join us, as we're going through all of the fights that the king pulled off in his 22 years of gaming.

[@CharlesUrban]

You know, for a casual game boss, Dedede is pretty creative. He keeps switching tactics and improving his standard moveset, even when he's not under someone else's control.

[@denpadolt9242]

But then you camp in the corner and spam Reflect Force.

+Masked DeDeDe He comes right... Back at ya, He comes right... back at ya!

[@DatJaneDoeArchive]

DDD has an high tendency of getting mind-controlled

[@blubbernibble9111]

+DaneJoe tru

[@totallynotaweeaboo9771]

And I always wondered how Kirby is NEVER possessed by Dark Matter 0_0

[@kingdedede7358]

+Bob Brown Ikr?

[@shabrangong]

+Bob Brown What if he is in a different dimension, and Meta Knight is the possessed Kirby? Loomnart conform

[@theblueraptor9268]

+Bob Brown Because Kirby has a pure heart....... that is literally a star.

[@Fuzunga]

What I learned from this video: 1. Kirby's Dreamland 3 really blows the other games away graphically. 2. You can apparently spot doge in Kirby Triple Deluxe.

[@solivagant7232]

Such Kirby. Very Fight. Much powerful. Wow.

[@bluekirby_64]

W-what? When is doge seen in Triple Deluxe?

[@diego1marcus918]

+Theblastingkirby64 Doge type Kirby was a super secret unlockable. Still cant manage to unlock it tho :(

[@bluekirby_64]

Kirby McKirby Wow, such sad. Much secret. Very Ability.

[@wheatzies]

I can't spot the doge...

[@samcolgin]

I feel violated.

[@-albert2417-]

King Dedede Your majesty sorry but we cannot control channels that aren't in dreamland

[@DededeFan217]

Course you are

[@kingdededong7407]

This video is horribly wrong. It does not include anything related to 'expand' or 'dong.'

[@gamerlunayt]

Sorry, King Dedede...

[@kingdedede8064]

This is an outrage.

[@toamatoro570]

The Epic Yarn fight seems to be a literal representation of what Dedede usually is. A puppet used by the ACTUAL villains. Seriously, I can count the amount of times Dedede was actually a bad guy on one hand.

[@manuelalejandromartinezsan2538]

in just the spinoff games jeje

[@awe9217]

Toa Matoro Don't forget triple deluxe, you can notice the strings.

[@MazeBeans]

That makes him just like George bush

[@Neccese]

Toa Matoro I mean if we're talking main series games, Kirbys Dreamland was the only one (Super Star was a remake technically)

[@avi8aviate]

Triple Deluxe is also a good example.

wait..in Kirby dreamland 3... does'nt king Dedede already have dark matter?

[@maerciodemartin4578]

I love masked dedede revenge music,that was awesome

[@tomasgarcia7499]

I agree with that sentiment!!!

[@madein_heartz3450]

Yeah super awsome and hardcore

[@MsBel26]

agreed

[@metawolf987]

It actually goes all the way back to Kirby's Dream Land, but the original song was initially extended in Kirby Super Star. And yes, the Triple Deluxe remix is awesome, and Dedede wielding a war axe makes it even more awesome.

[@overseer9360]

maercio de martin agree

[@metawolf987]

Dedede wielding a battle axe officially makes him badass.

[@a1ph4bet_s0up]

Technically it's a halberd but yes, I agree.

[@metawolf987]

Honda Kiku I'm pretty sure it's not a halberd. Halberds had small blades, that axe blade is huge, and that small steel tip on top does not count as a pike.

[@a1ph4bet_s0up]

***** Whoa there friend.

[@PsychoVdude13x]

Dedede, the king of being controlled by more powerful foes.

[@lamogendy7978]

And to this day waluigi never got in smash

[@ducksgoquack5212]

Dedede would have been very happy if he was added in melee back when kirby sucked.

[@IdntknowWhy]

@@mr.l2456 you mean me ,_,

[@forestwanderer]

Aw, he's not Kirby's arch-enemy... they're buddies now. He was only a true villain in like three games total, or something.

[@scatterbrain8764]

Even in Kirby's Pinball Land, he was just dancing around. (Or at least that's what it looks like)

[@flarrythe1st624]

no Kirby's a monster in Squeak Squad he went on a murdering spree over spilled cake

[@a1ph4bet_s0up]

Dedede is honestly adorable. Also he's hilarious in the dub of Kirby Right Back at Ya, which gives him some brownie points with me.

[@xenoalt2094]

+Honda Kiku I need to clobba dat der kirbeh

[@AutisticMagolorSmileyGuy]

Masked Dedede in the Kirby anime. Make it happen Nintendo.

[@sunshinefludd]

+Jorge Davila The anime is over, but I'd love to see him in a reboot. Along with a bunch of other characters...

[@AutisticMagolorSmileyGuy]

Yeah a reboot is what I meant. Also, Zero could finally appear. ( Don't Worry, Well make it a PG-13 rating for the Dark Matter Trilogy)

[@maskeddedede5962]

+Jorge Davila Don't forget Marx, and of course, the dude from your profile picture.

[@AutisticMagolorSmileyGuy]

+Masked DeDeDe How can we forget those guys. Also I loved your theme in Triple Deluxe.

[@maskeddedede5962]

Yeah, Sakurai should really put it in the next Smash game. And CROWNED too. My personal favorite version (Of MDDD) is GaMetal's one.

[@WaffleAfterHours]

Bet Dedede wish he kept those lightning powers from that pinball game

[@adamkampen]

ah okay. thanks for the translation

[@mehbanette9762]

14:47 I wish they remade this fight where dedede actually uses the star rod to fight, and if your gonna mention kirby fighters delexue, that fight could have been sooooo much more

[@mehbanette9762]

It just feels so heroic

[@durandlewis1382]

King Dedede needs to stop being mind controlled...

[@Kirbachu5]

(Kirby's Pinball Land) Oh, i always knew he wore that fancy robe for a reason! King Dedede is a wizard! I should've thought of it sooner! Also, you showed Meta Knight's shadow counterpart in his video, but not Dedede's in his? From the same game, not less. (Seriously, was I the only one who thought the Shadow Dedede fight was freaking epic?)

[@a1ph4bet_s0up]

I believe Shadow Dedede is from something that was not released during the time this video was being made.

[@mr.mermit6189]

Honda Kiku no, he was in Triple Deluxe.

[@kingdedede8064]

They grow up so fast.

[@wannabeneko318]

i love how the battles just get more and more epic as time goes by.

[@magi8467]

I love how Dedede always does that foot twitch after you beat him.

[@plumeless4462]

[@uberbotdonktopuspumpskel]

+Nintendofan012 Hello :D, i subscribed you and, you'll make a new Mistérios dos Jogos? | Oe :D, eu sou seu inscrito e você irá fazer um novo Mistérios dos Jogos?(Meu inglês não é bom)

[@NintendoFan]

Marcio Ruthes Vc não precisa falar em inglês comigo. Não sei quando sairá um novo MdJ.

[@syrelian]

+Audrey King Can't speak for Avalanche(though I do expect him) or Kirakira Kids, but you most definitely face him in Air Ride, its a Stadium Event for CITY TRIAL(aka the best mode), its one of the few semi-cooperative Stadiums in the game, where you are all trying to murder DEDEDE while he rekts face with his giant Wheelie Bike and Hammer, beating him unlocks a more reasonable sized Dedede for Free Run

[@Bogeynator]

I guess Shadow Dedede _technically_ isn't a King Dedede fight, but in that same sense, Dark Meta Knight (and his revenge fight) weren't Meta Knight fights, which were shown in his video. Not mention, those fights are pretty cool.

[@gavinparish8871]

Bogey nator Yer a Nerd.

[@s23charlie]

It's king of unsettling how in Dream land 2 and 3, your fighting him while his *ASLEEP*, which means he doesn't know what's happening and is also possessed at the same time.

[@nathanieltheoneandonly5933]

Is king dedede a penguin?

[@nicolefrye28]

Yep.

[@nathanieltheoneandonly5933]

***** He's the World's fattest penguin

[@kingdedede8064]

Did you just call me fat?

Did you know that King Dedede is slightly faster than Kirby? if you dont believe me, play Gourmet Race

That's mah boi!

[@armanbabic9019]

best music ever

[@SoulKing0448]

I’ve always liked how you can see Mario and the gang in some fights in the corner

[@stenredfield3045]

This is awesome; Dedede does indeed have one of the best themes ever. It's so groovy. Also, adding to the group who wants Evolution of Ganon/Ganondorf battles.

I love it when he smashes like 4 times like “JUST DIE, YOU STUPID PINK PUFF”

[@sintheemptyone8108]

He really needs to use one of the axes again someday. He looks cool & savage with it. (I really want to play newer Kirby games, but it's really hard to find them in Finland. How is that even possible?)

I feel bad for when dedede was possessed

[@lastedtsunamiyoutube2515]

TOFX The Gamer true. This is kinda sad and scary that Dedede is used as puppet for our REAL enemies. I feel bad for penguin guy...

[@Ten-ThousandBees]

LastedTsunami [KZbin] Plus most of fhe time he's trying to protect Kirby from unleashing something bad.

[@lastedtsunamiyoutube2515]

Graham :D that's true! In Kirby's Dreamland 3 King Dedede's face tells he doesn't want to fight Kirby; but he is literally forced by Dark Matter. Poor Triple De ;-;

[@larrykoopa2002]

Defeat25 THATS SO TRUE

[@nicholasali3566]

Toffy Gaming which time?

[@thekingslayer1831]

In between the events of Adventure and Pinball land, he got access to not only bombs, but Black Magic. Deep Kirby lore...

Is Dedede seriously sleep fighting in Dream Land 2? Talk about talent.

[@flameconvoy7424]

I love how they added masked dedede in triple deluxe he's one of my favourite fights back in super star ultra

[@metalinsanityx9862]

when was the last game were dedede was really evil

[@paperbird5965]

Kirby Triple Deluxe. Dedede was mind-controlled by someone else.

[@metalinsanityx9862]

With out being controlled in some way

[@toamatoro570]

Kirby Fighters Deluxe. He wasn't possessed or anything. Just classic Kirby vs Dedede action.

[@metalinsanityx9862]

***** i mean like in main series no side games or boss rushes

[@toamatoro570]

metalinsanity x In that case.....Super Star Ultra.

[@jaedonfutrell]

ok is DDD seriously a demon penguin, or was he possessed 😕

[@doodlespiral7110]

in the story line for some Kirby games, king De De De WAS being controlled by a later boss. you would need to play those games to fully understand.

[@jaedonfutrell]

Ivry T. I would but I can't because I don't have the damn consoles

[@doodlespiral7110]

Well. I can't help you with that, but I hope my explanation at least helped a bit.

[@kanlalonde1356]

For the battle where his belly opened like a mouth and shot stuff at Kirby, he was in fact possessed by Dark Matter then.

[@jaedonfutrell]

Ivry T. It did help

[@espeonplays_]

Dedede looks hilarious when he gets hit I love how when Dedede and Meta Knight are defeated in Kirby's Epic Yarn they both are a little confused onto what just happend

[@FACM.]

The King Dedede's music combat is really cool xD

[@Crystalitar]

wait.. im not a huuuge kirby fan... so.. can someone explain to me why some dedede bosses at the start has the dark eye and teeth thing from his belly? you can spoiler me

[@DestuctionProduct]

In those scenarios, he's being possessed by the main villain of those games, Dark Matter.

[@Crystalitar]

Giegue ty!

[@ryukthedarkrai4259]

Crystalitar Is creepy.

[@darkmatter200]

dark matter ^^

[@MrNem12345]

Crystalitar King dedede was possesed by someone else

[@kingdedede7082]

Why can't i win?

[@gavinparish8871]

Omg the pros make it all look SO damn easy--especially the last one lmao, I was just like "oh my god the fkin skills" lol

I just klicked on this video to listen to the amazing music :D

[@angespice]

Don't lie, you skipped to super star ultra

[@thegreatzandria]

It’s at 17:41 is SSU

[@diddledaddle5354]

Would it kill you to use abilities?

[@USSansFTW]

Well, this is the most basic way of defeating bosses. And you can keep dishing out attacks with abilities, but with none it gives the bosses more time to show off their moves.

[@undoneonion90]

And for some reason, Mario, Luigi, Toad, Peach, Bowser and Birdo are watching the fight.

[@joachojua]

I like all of your videos

[@BangBadaBing]

Not even the first minute and you see the inspiration for his Smash Bros moves. Lol that's cool as hell.

[@sonicgamer999-]

17:36 was definitely the most memorable to me

[@ElHider0s]

good video brooooo

[@DeskoDev]

DDD has some of the more lighthearted final boss battles in the series. (And the first one is surprisingly difficult compared to the game itself as he reduces the amount of star-creating attacks later on)

[@broden4838]

Dedede: I'm gonna whip your butt, zoi! (Clobbered by Kirby... again) NOT AGAIN, ZOI!!

[@AiramLP10]

1:19 That sound. x_x 1:24 "Team Rocket blasts off again!" XD

[@keylosup]

This is epic, I've started with Kirby MouseAttack.

[@janestagner8497]

the remix at the end... perfect...

[@abagel83]

Ahhh the old king dedede him self great memories LONG LIVE KING DEDEDE!

[@imactuallyquiteepic265]

Cool video

[@RuberDildo]

Damn, the fact 1992 was the first Kirby game I ever had makes me feel old XD.

[@mrroboto5785]

Great video and I love the concept behind them. But I have to ask, I know you aren't ranking these by difficulty but where is Dream Land 1's Extra mode fight with King Dedede? That was one of the hardest fights with him in the series.

[@DatJaneDoeArchive]

Anyone else think the "Kirby 64: Crystal Shards" fight with DeDeDe look extremely depressing? DDD just floats around lifelessly

[@kevp9601]

Watching Nintendo Unity KZbin Videos on KZbin is Stupendous To The Max. ;-)

[@aidenkamuti1850]

This music is awesome

[@kevp9601]

BEST VIDEOS EVER! ;-)

[@AhrinKimEevee_Keyblade]

Gods, I love Dedede's theme after Super Star- the original was very repetitive, but then it became this masterpiece- yes.

[@Matmak2]

Masked dedede's revenge attacks and song is amazing

[@Fargowilta]

you sure make these fights look easy xD

[@frankentron5178]

He sure took a long time to come out of his retro days..

[@satanmaizono790]

I love how many times he faceplants in the first one.

[@kevinfreire1]

I love how bandana dee is the last man standing supporting King dedede.

[@MarioKirbyCRUSADE]
