Castle Dedede is located at the peak of [[Mt. Dedede]]. [[Kirby]] enters Castle Dedede in order to defeat King Dedede and take back all the food he stole. Kirby first enters a room with four doors, in which he can go through in any order. After Kirby defeats the bosses at the end of each door's path, he can enter the Castle's boxing ring and face off against King Dedede. The windows of the small fortress appear to look like scowling eyes, which turn to sad-looking eyes after Kirby defeats King Dedede and sends him flying out of the castle. Kirby then grows to an enormous size and carries the castle across Dream Land, returning the food to everyone by a hole on the bottom of the Castle.

KPR Susie artwork This article is about the fortification in the Kirby series. For the stage in Kirby Star Allies, see Clash at Castle Dedede.

Castle Dedede, sometimes referred to as Dedede's Castle, is a recurring location in the Kirby series. In all games, this castle serves as King Dedede's home and sometimes the last level. It is apparent that Dedede has multiple castles.

Games

Kirby's Dream Land

Castle Dedede is located at the peak of Mt. Dedede. Kirby enters Castle Dedede in order to defeat King Dedede and take back all the food he stole. Kirby first enters a room with four doors, in which he can go through in any order. After Kirby defeats the bosses at the end of each door's path, he can enter the Castle's boxing ring and face off against King Dedede. The windows of the small fortress appear to look like scowling eyes, which turn to sad-looking eyes after Kirby defeats King Dedede and sends him flying out of the castle. Kirby then grows to an enormous size and carries the castle across Dream Land, returning the food to everyone by a hole on the bottom of the Castle.

Kirby's Dream Land 2

While not known if it is Castle Dedede itself, Dark Castle, a large palace taking up the bulk of the last Rainbow Island, is similar in appearance to the castle on Mt. Dedede.

Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra

Castle Dedede is located on Mt. Dedede in Spring Breeze. It's exactly the same as in Kirby's Dream Land, except it only contains a room with enemies that give Copy Abilities

In Kirby Super Star Ultra, Castle Dedede appears in Revenge of the King in the level The Revenge. Kirby navigates throughout the castle and fights the king's servants. Once he has defeated all of them, Kirby enters the boxing ring and fights Masked Dedede

Kirby's Dream Land 3

Castle Dedede is located at the edge of Iceberg. It is a strange tower that shares King Dedede's color scheme, but contains the looming eye of Zero. Kirby eventually finds his way into the castle and confronts a possessed King Dedede at the top.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

Castle Dedede is located in or near a forest. Kirby navigates throughout the castle and eventually reaches the top where he fights a once again possessed King Dedede.

Kirby: Squeak Squad

Castle Dedede is located on a cliff in Prism Plains, where Kirby fights King Dedede after accusing him of stealing his cake. The castle resembles its counterpart in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. In fact, there is a device in King Dedede's room that resembles the teleporter in the anime, where King Dedede receives monsters from Nightmare Enterprises. After the initial confrontation with Dedede, if Kirby returns to Prism Plains, it can be seen that the castle's main chamber and roof had collapsed. Either the Squeaks broke it during their break-in or Dedede threw Kirby into them with such force that it caved in the roof.

Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn

Head to Castle Dedede, and overcome its formidable defenses. Jump across giant cannonballs, avoid row after row of spikes, and uncover secret passages to well-guarded rooms. Show Yin-Yarn he's not the king of this castle!
— Official guide

Castle Dedede is the 47th stage in Kirby's Epic Yarn and its remake, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. It is also the fourth level in Dream Land. It comes after Cloud Palace and precedes Yin-Yarn. There is no metamortex in the level.

In the opening and ending cutscenes of the game, Castle Dedede can be seen on a hill. The castle appears just like its counterpart in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!.

Overview

The main features of this stage are the multitude of cannons spread throughout the stage that test the player's jumping and timing skills. There are hidden Doors throughout the entire place leading to hidden rooms. These rooms are filled with Beads, treasures and other goodies. There are also enemies as well as pictures of the enemies in the room. In order to unlock these treasures, Kirby has to defeat all of the enemies in the room.

Kirby Mass Attack

Castle Dedede is located on an island in the middle of Dedede Resort. It's made up of four walls, four towers, and a giant dome in the middle. The interior is made of sweets. The Kirbys make their way into the castle and fight King Dedede.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe

In the opening of Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Castle Dedede was lifted into the sky by the Dreamstalk, ending up next to Kirby's house. It appears to be the very same castle seen in Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby Super Star. Once Kirby awakens, he sees Castle Dedede and heads towards it, only to see Taranza enter it. Taranza kidnaps Dedede and breaks through the ceiling, with the Castle's windows once again turning into sad-looking eyes.

At the end of both credits, Castle Dedede can be seen on a small hill.

Kirby: Planet Robobot

Castle Dedede is the same as in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, though this rendition is much larger and pays homage to the medieval era. In the opening cutscene, During the Haltmann Works Company's invasion, King Dedede tries to fight back by using the castle's cannons. Nevertheless, it is effortlessly destroyed by the Access Ark's defense sentries and is not seen again until the game's end as a pile of rubble.

Kirby Star Allies

Castle Dedede is the same as in Kirby: Planet Robobot. A Jamba Heart piece crashes into it in the opening cutscene, resulting in Dedede being possessed by it. Kirby visits the castle in the stage Clash at Castle Dedede.
