'''King Dedede''' (sometimes spelt ''DeDeDe'') is an oversized penguin-like creature and the self-proclaimed king of [[Dream Land]], a rival and frequent antagonist of [[Kirby]]. He is from the ''Kirby'' series, first appearing in ''Kirby Dream Land'', and appearing in every game afterward (with the exception of ''Kirby & the Amazing Mirror''). However, King Dedede is a heavy and large character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', acting like [[Bowser]] and [[Donkey Kong]].
 
King Dedede's [[Final Smash]] move is [[Waddle Dee Army]]. He can also use a [[Jet Hammer|Hammer]], even holding the Hammer around with him for the entire match. King Dedede will be able to multi-jump, like [[Kirby]], [[Jigglypuff]], [[Pit]], [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s [[Charizard]] and [[Meta Knight]].
 
Altough he did not appear as playable in ''Super Smash Bros.'' or ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' he did make an appearance as a trophy in ''Melee''. Also, in the [[Dream Land]] stage of the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' (and later ''Melee'') he could sometimes be seen flying in the background a long with some other [[enemies]] of Kirby games.
 
King Dedede is voiced by none other than the director of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', [[Masahiro Sakurai]], who is also his creator.
 
==Role in the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Story|Subspace Emissary]]==
{{spoiler}}
[[Image:DDDtrophy.jpg|thumb|King Dedede looking at his trophies.]]
In the [[Subspace Emissary]], King Dedede finds out about [[Tabuu]]'s motives, and about his Off Waves, and worries that if all the fighters of [[World of Trophies|this world]] are all turned into trophies, then there will be no one to change them back.  Therefore, he develops special brooches that are set to turn trophies back into fighters after a specific amount of time.  It is also revealed through the [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea17.html Smash Bros. DOJO!!] that King Dedede engages [[Meta Knight]] in combat as the [[Subspace Army]] takes his [[Halberd]], though this scene was cut from the final version of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
 
He is first seen attacking [[Luigi]] with his mallet and turning him into a trophy. However, [[Wario]] and his car with the Princess ([[Princess Peach]] or [[Princess Zelda]]) trophy and [[Ness]] trophy come a long. King Dedede hides and leaves the Luigi trophy out in the open. Wario takes it but King Dedede's [[Waddle Dee]]s come and attack Wario. Wario lets go of the Luigi trophy, which King Dedede takes and he steals Wario's car and drvies off with the Princess trophy and Ness trophy.  He later attempts to take either the [[Mario]] and Pit trophies or the [[Link]] and Kirby trophies, until [[Yoshi]] shows up, frees them, then all five characters give him a chase. 
 
In his castle, he puts a special badge on all the trophies he collected. However [[Bowser]] also starts attacking the others and after some fighting, Bowser escapes with the princess trophy (who dropped the badge King Dedede put on her) and Mario, Link, Pit,Yoshi and Kirby run away leaving the King Dedede, Luigi and Ness trophies behind. Later, King Dedede's castle is blown up by the [[Subspace Bomb]]. However the King Dedede, Luigi and Ness trophies manage to survive. Meanwhile, Yoshi finds the other DeDeDe badge that the princess dropped and [[swallow]]s it.
 
The brooches actually have the power to turns trophies back to life after some time. After [[Tabuu]] turns everyone into trophies, the brooches start working and they turn Luigi, Ness and Dedede back to life. King Dedede then decides to help Ness and Luigi save everyone. Meanwhile, Yoshi who swallowed the brooches is turned back to lifeas well. The four go around turning everyone back to life-when King Dedede brings [[Bowser]] back to life, Bowser attacks. However King Dedede turns him back into a trophy and then back to life again. Bowser is about to attack again but King Dedede lightly hits him in the nose, then points over toward the staircase to [[the Great Maze]].
 
Bowser then runs off to attack the [[Ganondorf]] trophy because Ganondorf was the one who had turned Bowser into a trophy in the first place. After they are all turned back, everyone, including King Dedede fights Tabuu in  [[Tabuu's Residence]]. After Tabuu is defeated, the [[Super Smash Bros. World]] returns to its normal state and Tabuu dies.

|''Dedede's the self-proclaimed king of Dream Land. While he says he's king, Dedede performs no administrative functions and the citizens of Dream Land continue to live as they always have. He's able to suck in air and fly like Kirby does, but only as a result of the vigorous training he undertook after being bested by Kirby.

|''The self-styled king of the amazingly peaceful Dream Land. He continually does things unbecoming a king, like stealing the kingdom's food supplies or all the stars from the sky. He's not all bad, though, and sometimes performs good deeds. While he and Kirby often battle, they've been known to compete good-naturedly at speed-eating contests and minigames.

|''King Dedede's Final Smash. He whistles, and an army of Gordos, Waddle Dees, and Waddle Doos rain down and rampage, pummeling all in their way. After a bit, they'll pack it in and hit the road. Any left can be forcibly removed. They are fast and numerous, which makes it difficult to get through their ranks without taking any damage.

==[[Solid Snake]] Codec Conversation==
 
*'''Snake''': Look at the size of that hammer...
*'''Colonel''': That's King Dedede you're fighting, Snake.
*'''Snake''': Dedede? You mean it's not a penguin, Colonel?
*'''Colonel''': He's the king of Dream Land. Well, so he says, anyway.
*'''Snake''': Are you sure he's not a penguin?
*'''Colonel''': One full swing from that hammer can level an entire building. It may look like just a big wooden mallet, but it's actually outfitted with special mechanical systems like turbo jets and precision bearings to boost its effectiveness.
*'''Snake''': I don't think I could even lift that thing. And he's swinging it around like it was nothing...
*'''Colonel''': But he also leaves himself wide open. Just make sure you avoid the swing, Snake.
 
==Trivia==
*King Dedede appeared in the Kirby Segment in the educational video [[Mario Kirby Masterpiece]].
*King Dedede also appears in the [[Nintendo Monopoly]].
*One of King Dedede's plots in the animated series ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'' (to be more exact, in the episode "Un-Reality TV") is remarkably similar to [[Bowser]]'s plot in the [[Super Mario World (animated series)|''Super Mario World'']] episode "[[Rock TV]]".
