Ranking How USELESS Dedede is in Every Kirby Game

He does care, a lot, abou Kirby. They're not enemies, they're friendly rivals, leaning more on the ”friendly” part. More people should learn this.

You can see in crystal shards from Kirby's face that he thinks here we go again. You can expect King Dedede to be possessed in every new game, it has become something of a running joke

Peach = *The best ruler at getting kidnapped.* Dedede = *The best ruler at getting possessed*

[@GTPvZGamers]

Your ranking is spot-on, and the examples you used were perfect.

[@francjirachi]

I would give some more merit to forgotten land dedede, since he is just brainwashed and not controlled/possessed, it means that the boss fights were his own power, and he is way more dangerous than in revenge of the king where you put him in elite. Also for the second fight, dedede is already actively fighting the brainwashing, that is why he is wearing a mask, it keeps him even more brainwashed

[@icykuikinu6757]

Wanna add too, he held off all the beast pack there on his own, and made it out all intact. I think he was defo a lot stronger despite being brainwashed most of the game

[@eaglehood224]

​@@icykuikinu6757 That fits un with the fact that he's considered the most powerful lifeform of Popstar, barring Meta Knight and Kirby.

[@MalzraAirwynn]

I know it doesn't really count as a Kirby game, but in Smash Bros Brawl he'd be elite I think in Subspace Emmissary story due to his badge plan leading to the bad guy being defeated in the end. And the game sort of feels like a kirby game in a way with the way the story plays out without dialog. Probably not surprising considering Kirby's creator was in charge of the game.

[@TheGreatFidoMan1498]

Now we finally get to see how useless the giant penguin is.

[@kikkomanS]

I literally just went through the playlist of 14 and damn near had my jaw fell off when I saw this

[@ShadowdaHedgie11]

Forgot about the times when Dedede is an ally in the intro. Hell, he was at peak good guy during Brawl, but that probably doesn't count for the list since it's not a Kirby game. In any case... "This paints him as super helpless-" Kirby just soundly kicked his ass and the dude is still trying to stop Kirby from putting the Star Rod back for the good of the people of Dream Land/Popstar. Also Dedede didn't really help Kirby fight Nightmare. Just shot him off in the right direction and let Kirby do all the work, really. So I guess it balances out to still be 'sorta useful', but still. Yeah, how dare King Dedede just lie there after having the shit kicked out of him by Kirby. Not saying that he's not worthless in Dream Land 2 but seems a bit unfair to say that he's 'just lying there' when he got the shit kicked out of him due to something he hadn't even done. "Sorta cares about Kirby" Well, yeah. Deep down, aside from the first game (and Spring Breeze) Dedede does care about the people of Dream Land/Popstar. You know, as a king should be. And that includes Kirby. Also despite their differences he does know that Kirby is generally doing the right thing, or at least, does the right thing in the end, and after having spent several games being possessed, it makes sense he'd want to do something to help out. ...I'm questioning if Epic Yarn should even be on this list since it's definitely more of a spin-off than a mainline game, especially since it didn't start off life as a Kirby game at all and definitely doesn't fit the usual Kirby gameplay style. I wouldn't say that Dedede is 'just as useful' as Kirby, considering he is locked to the Hammer ability, but yeah, Epic all the same. "These guys don't get along all that well-" *clears throat and points at Crystal Shards and Return to Dreamland* Literally the only times they've fought since Dream Land is down to misunderstandings and Dedede getting possessed. ...Well that and Revenge of the King, but still. I dunno if he was full-on possessed in Forgotten Land... or at least, not in the same way as with other fights where he was possessed or directly controlled. It seems more like he was possessed by the thing he was being possessed by wasn't directly controlling him like with Dark Matter. He was still being left to fight the way he would. He does go kinda apeshit in the second phase of his second fight but he is still doing the fighting rather than someone using him as a puppet. It's more like he was driven mad than being possessed. And as we see, he's come a long way as a king from when he was stealing everyone's food for himself.

[@eliottcollier5000]

One thing that I do like in Forgotten Land is that in the snowy levels, right before the DeDeDe fight, there’s a bridge level where Meta Knight stayed to patrol (it’s an Easter egg), however it states that he could not go further because of some « great power » showing that DeDeDe became way stronger than usual even at the first fight.

[@TheZombieMack]

Okay, one thing about Forgotten Land you forgot: Dedede WON the battle against the army of the Beast Pack. He don't just hold them off, he 100% defeated an entire ARMY of Beast Pack members. Now, I dunno if that would have been a deciding factor for Kirby defeating Fecto Forgo and such, but at the very least, he ensured Kirby could take on the remaining bosses 1v1. I think that makes him more than just 'Sorta Useful.' Maybe not Elite, but definitely Pretty Capable.

[@dreamimgflowerd976]

We all know Dedede is basically a Tsundere. He's not showing it outright, but he does care for his people... in his own weird way.

[@Shadow-Joop-157]

Fun fact if you slow down the game then you can see that it is a waddle dee that steals the cake so maybe it is king dedede after all

[@ingothasnolife8040]

Its not, it could've been a rogue Waddle Dee, we don't know, not all Waddle Dee's work for King Dedede.

[@scanchannel3259]

@@ingothasnolife8040 Let em know.

[@cosmicdunsparce]

I'd argue Forgotten Land Dedede be moved up to Pretty Capable. He sacrificed his own life for one Waddle Dee, something the old Dedede would never have done. Especially since at the end of the game all that happens to the king is he gets exhausted and just lounges in front of the Arena.

Okay this is an awesome list. Damn I actually haven't played that much of Kirby and the forgotten Land. I tried live streaming it on day one when I got it but because Josh scorcher also known as fiery joker was live streaming it at the same time almost nobody watched my live stream at all and I was planning on live streaming some more at a later time but just never got around to it and for some reason haven't actually played it again since. I don't think I need the live stream it for any reason because nobody's going to watch it but perhaps I should just play through the rest of the game when I have some time off.

[@manupm9161]

Shouldn't Kirby's Dreamland 2, 3 and epic yarn be in "barely does anything"? I mean, fighting you is at least doing something, even if he's being controlled... Btw you missed canvas curse, mass attack and the rainbow curse.

Fun fact: Since Kirby Super Star/Super Star Ultra comes before rhe Amazing Mirror (chronologically speaking), and since Meta Knight defeated Galacta Knight, and then later he gets defeated by Dark Meta Knight, who later Dedede defeats in Triple Deluxe, it is implied that King dedede could also defeat Galacta Knight on his own, putting him in the top alongside Meta Knight and Kirby in power.
