ROAR OF DEDEDE ON DRUMS!!!

[@The8BitDrummer]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! THE KING HAS RETURNED!!!

[@biotech4846]

Nice stuff. I was wondering if you would consider playing a Dethklok song. Double bass and everything. Just for the challenge.

[@matthewLkidder]

Forgo Dedede is even better

[@Eternal7288]

You should also play Morpho Knights theme too

[@moyitotito1336]

YEAAAAAA

[@Firesonicx03]

Welcome back King dedede!

If there is one truth in life, it's that Dedede's theme gets better every game he's in. Hail to the King!

[@HittingBandy]

I genuinely believe that the difficulty of making up a new Kirby game becomes even harder not because of Nintendo trying to find new ways for a Kirby game to be unique, but because they would need to put so much effort in outdoing themselves on the new Dedede boss theme.

[@jellycore1316]

Kirby is actually made by HAL laboratory not Nintendo

There's something about slowing down the Masked Dedede song that gives it the gravitas our King needs.

[@jonathanflanagan1504]

It's not Masked Dedede though. This is technically Macho Dedede. Don't worry, there is a Masked Dedede Remix too.

[@jaeded2391]

I agree, something about adding sound effects as a percussion instrument really set songs a level above. BotW did that too, the intro to the Talus Fight song is pickaxe strikes on a rock

[@bulbasaur15]

# 001 Killer Instinct Gold Character Select theme is another good example. Even Donkey Kong does this too especially in the mine cart levels.

[@danhue2682]

factory inspection maybe?

[@SuperCatPrincess]

Super Mario RPG Weapons Factory music

[@lexsamreeth8724]

I agree. The percussion, accompanied by the warcry-like vocals, convey a sense of both majesty and brutality - perfect for a monarch who favors blunt instruments.

[@CeHee123]

Every time I hear this song I always join in on the chanting in the background. This song just radiates power.

[@frederickglass1583]

Skyscraper punching, marble pillar swinging, mountain punching power. This version of DeDeDe just SLAMS *so goddamn hard*

[@GamerScottYT]

Legit started chanting before i saw this comment😭

[@Deevster]

This theme roars, quite literally. I really need to play forgotten land now that I have beaten the main story of Star Allies!

[@lordqwertythepyromancer3458]

NEED?! I go as far as to say you already should have on day one........ This game is so good, and the music makes it so much better

[@chiefexecutivesaxophonist]

definetly worth the $60 it cost

[@arandomguy6067]

Like the other have said, you NEED to play Forgotten Land. The game is really worth its price (possibly more) and it's really fun.

[@cronoa_hourglass2184]

no, first beat the extra modes of the game and beat all the secret bosses and read their data. learning lore is also important now that hal lab seems to be giving it importance

[@logannightx8845]

Same i have beaten star allies and now i need to do forgotten land

[@MitoNova583]

to answer the chat member who asked if Dedede was a boss in every game: no, he isn't! he doesn't appear in Amazing Mirror at all, & he doesn't have a boss fight in Crystal Shards (unless you count the single time fight when he's possessed) or Return to Dream Land for the sake of actual fights I'm counting Dedede Clone from Planet Robobot as just Dedede

[@le_chef-Klown]

Don't forget rainbow curse!

[@MitoNova583]

@@le_chef-Klown I'm not counting any spin-offs, only mainline games, but yes Dedede doesn't appear at all in Rainbow Curse outside of a figurine

[@turretboi]

@@MitoNova583 and a doodle based on kirby's description in Elline's notebook

[@BalrogQuote]

Wait, how would you not count the fight where he's possessed in Crystal Shards as a boss fight? Might not be a boss stage, but Dedede sure isn't a regular enemy.

[@curlybrace4984]

He was joking, because 8bitdrummer said "Dedede is such a BOSS in this game!"

[@whambamduel]

Hell yeah. The dedede theme that rivals (and by some standards, even surpasses) masked dedede.

[@StriderZessei]

I don't know, Masked Dedede goes so hard, I would have to say that this is a super-close second.

[@whambamduel]

@@StriderZessei yeah tbh I'm also really on the fence about it. I suppose it's also for nostalgia reasons that Masked dedede eeks out the win for me.

[@themustardman219]

Masked dedede is a banger, but most versions are a bit too short. Basically the invincibility candy theme but for dedede

[@samboi123]

You say it rivals Masked like the latter can stand up to this thing

[@lordqwertythepyromancer3458]

The masked dedede theme is in this game btw. And it's amazing

[@ShinyHydrapplTheSyrpent]

'Roar of The De The' - quote by The8BitDrummer in the intro

[@misterfister5810]

You can literally see the melody course through his body as he plays the drums, that’s how powerful dedede’s music is
