Changes: Parasol Waddle Dee

Revision as of 23:56, 4 October 2019

“	You chose me? Great! Time to sing!”
	— Parasol Waddle Dee • Kirby Star Allies

Parasol Waddle Dees are the second most common form of Waddle Dee - a relatively harmless variant that hold a red and white Parasol. It is the only Waddle Dee that bestows an ability (Parasol) to Kirby when inhaled. Inhaling the parasol after it is let go of gives the same effect, but inhaling the Waddle Dee that has already dropped the parasol gives no ability.

Parasol Waddle Dees aren't the only enemies that can possess a parasol; Waddle Doos can also hold them, though Parasol Waddle Doos are uncommonly seen in the series. They will give Kirby Parasol ability instead of Beam ability, unless the parasol is released.

In Kirby: Canvas Curse, Fluff Waddle Dees appear instead of Parasol Waddle Dees. They are meant to act the same as their parasol-wielding cousins, but give no ability.

Physical Appearance

Parasol Waddle Dees mainly look the same like their common cousins, the regular Waddle Dees, the only difference being that Parasol Waddle Dees are carrying a parasol. These enemies also swap their color palette to the appearance of the Waddle Dees in the area.

Games

Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby's Adventure

Parasol Waddle Dees often float down slowly from the sky. Once they reach the ground, they usually let go of their parasols and stay in place or walk around, but sometimes they hold hold onto the parasol upon reaching the ground. They do not attack Kirby, regardless.

Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra

In Kirby Super Star and its remake, this particular type of Waddle Dee is the Helper for the Parasol ability. The Helper can use all the attacks that Parasol Kirby can use, whereas the plain enemy version is devoid of attacks aside from coming in contact with Kirby as it calmly floats down. The exception to this is the rare "Parasol Spear Waddle Dee", which is a relatively new variant exclusive to the Revenge of the King sub-game, which can attack Kirby with a spear upon landing.

Kirby's Dream Land 2

In Kirby's Dream Land 2, Parasol Waddle Dees carry Drifters instead of normal parasols.

Kirby's Super Star Stacker

Parasol Waddle Dee is the first boss that Kirby and Mr. Star have to fight. He uses his parasol to knock out Kirby in order to damage Kirby's combos.

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

In Kirby's Epic Yarn and its remake, these Waddle Dees can permanently float in the air and act as midair platforms for Kirby and Prince Fluff to stand on. Some walk on the ground holding the parasol sideways, and these can deflect yarn whip attacks against them.

In Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, a Mat of a Parasol Waddle Dee can be earned by getting a B rank in the first stage of Slash & Bead.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition

In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Parasol Waddle Dee is first introduced in Raisin Ruins. He appears in the New Challenge Stages in Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition as well. He appears in the Parasol Challenge.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Kirby: Planet Robobot

Parasol Waddle Dee acts the same way as he did in the previous game. However, he can now drift from the foreground to the background or vice versa. Parasol Sectra Dees later appear in Royal Road.

Kirby Battle Royale

While not technically appearing, the playable Waddle Dee and Bandana Waddle Dee both attack by using parasols, with their movesets based on Parasol Kirby.

Parasol Waddle Dee appears alongside regular Waddle Dee in all games except Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Kirby: Canvas Curse, and most spin-off games. In some rare cases, a Waddle Doo may hold a parasol as well and float down from the sky.

Kirby Star Allies

Parasol Waddle Dee reappears in Kirby Star Allies as both an enemy and friend for the Parasol ability.

Super Kirby Clash

A Parasol Waddle Dee appears as a resident of the Castle Village after Parallel Nightmare's Revenge and Aeon Hero have been defeated. It can be seen walking around in circles behind the Quest Board.

In the Super Smash Bros. series

Parasol Waddle Dee appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS’s Smash Run mode and as a collectible trophy. He floats down from the sky as he does in the Kirby series, and he'll jump back into the air shortly after landing. His parasol protects him projectiles and bounces players who try to land on him.
