King Dedede

Template:Newsubject Template:SSB Infobox King Dedede is the self-proclaimed king of Dream Land, a rival and frequent antagonist of Kirby. He was meant to be playable in the original Super Smash Bros., but was left due to time constraints. However, Dedede will be a new playable character in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl, acting as a large and heavy character, like Bowser and Donkey Kong. He has been confirmed to be using his Hammer, even holding the Hammer around with him for the entire match. He has also been seen riding around on a throne being moved by four Waddle Dees, which may be his battle entrance. King Dedede will be able to multi-jump, like Kirby, Jigglypuff, Pit and Meta Knight.

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.
