King Dedede is a character from the Kirby franchise. He has been a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. series since Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Biography[]

King Dedede is Kirby's archenemy, the greedy self-proclaimed king of Dream Land on the Planet Popstar. He is angry at Kirby because all the residents of Cappy Town, the area that he's in charge of, prefer him over Dedede. He takes his anger out on the townspeople. Despite having a mean disposition, he is a nice guy and has reluctantly accepted Kirby as the real hero of Dream Land as he would help him against a mutual enemy that threatens Dream Land.
