Changes: Big Waddle Dee

Revision as of 21:32, 3 March 2017

Big Waddle Dee is a large enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. It is one of the many variants of the Waddle Dees. It yields no Copy Ability when Super Inhaled.

Physical Appearance

Big Waddle Dee, as its name indicates, is an over-sized Waddle Dee. It has no defining traits, attacks, or characteristics to set it apart from other Waddle Dees other than its massive size. Its body is in complete proportion and has the regular design of regular Waddle Dees: red skin, a peachy face, and orange feet.

In Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Big Waddle Dee received a redesign. It now has a much more mammalian look, having a furry brown body with darker brown hands and an orange spot on its forehead.

Games

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror and Kirby: Squeak Squad

Being only a large Waddle Dee, it meanders about aimlessly, but can hurt Kirby if the two collide. Despite their larger size, Big Waddle Dee does not have significantly more health than a regular Waddle Dee does, making it about as simple to defeat. Big Waddle Dee is incapable of jumping but can fall from ledges.

Kirby's Epic Yarn

Big Waddle Dees are orange, three times bigger, and are also immune to Kirby's yarn whip (but not his Weight form). A harmless sleeping one appears in Castle Dedede and there is no way to wake it up, hinting at their laziness. Yin-Yarn drops two from the sky as an attack.

Kirby Mass Attack

Big Waddle Dee appears exclusively in Dedede Resort, most notably in Stages 6 and 10. It carries a giant bomb and lobs it at the Kirbys when it sees them. Its size makes it stronger than many smaller enemies, requiring a mob of Kirbys or several small attacks to be defeated. A Big Waddle Dee wearing a colossal Star Block as armor serves as a mid-boss in Stage 7.

Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition

Big Waddle Dee appears in the New Challenge Stages. It appears in the Wing Challenge, and its Halcandran counterpart appears in the Normal Challenge.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Kirby: Planet Robobot

Despite the character's redesign, Big Waddle Dee's behavior has not changed. Some Big Waddle Dees can be found skiing with regular Waddle Dees throughout the icy stages of Old Odyssey in Kirby: Triple Deluxe.

-'''Big Waddle Dee''' is an [[enemy]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], first appearing in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''. It is one of the many variants of the [[Waddle Dee]]s. It is a super-sized Waddle Dee that has made several reappearances since its debut. [[Kirby]] has to do a super inhale to [[inhale]] one. Being only large Waddle Dees, they meander about aimlessly, but can hurt Kirby if they happen to bump into him. An episode of ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' called [[Hunger Struck]] featured obese Waddle Dees, and was perhaps the inspiration behind these docile creatures.

-Despite their larger size, Big Waddle Dees don't have an amount of health that much higher than a regular Waddle Dee does, making them almost as easy to take down. They are also incapable of jumping, but can fall.

Because they are relatives of Waddle Dees, they give no ability when inhaled. However, they must be super-inhaled, and are a bother due to their size.
