Robo Dedede is a giant mechanical construct resembling King Dedede. It appears in Kirby's Return to Dream Land as the third boss of the Scope Shot sub-game. It would later reappear in the remake as a stand-in for the real King Dedede in the Egg Catcher subgame.

Physical Appearance[]

Robo Dedede is a robotic creation built in the likeness of King Dedede. It has pink eyes, spiked shoulders, and a jet pack.

Games[]

Kirby's Return to Dream Land[]

Robo Dedede only appears in the sub-game Scope Shot. It attacks by firing floating bombs from its hammer, which is kept on its back. The player must hit the floating bombs to blow them up before they hit Kirby. The floating bombs can be eliminated entirely by destroying the pod on Robo Dedede's back that they are launched from. Doing this heavily limits the robot's attack options, allowing players to focus on offense. Robo Dedede tosses out a large, canister-shaped Time Bomb. He then spins around rapidly, moving back and forth in the distance. The player must shoot at the bomb to knock it back at the mechanical menace, whose spinning will hit it back at the player. The player must continue to knock the bomb back until Robo Dedede stops spinning, at which point it explodes on him, dizzying him and blasting him to the front of the screen, and making it very easy for players to shoot him.

When first defeated, Robo Dedede will get back up, flailing its arms wildly as it draws its hammer. Robo Dedede hammers Kirby if he does not act quickly enough. The player must shoot Robo Dedede's hammer to make it come down hard on the robot's battered head, causing a spectacular explosion.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[]

Robo Dedede appears in the Egg Catcher sub-game, where it throws eggs and bombs at the player. Robo Dedede will wave to the crowd if no eggs are caught, deactivate if 1-29 eggs are caught, and explode if all 30 eggs are caught.

Trivia[]

  • The music that plays in Robo Dedede's first phase is King Dedede's theme from Kirby Super Star.
    • Unlike every other Scope Shot music track, this one is not reused anywhere in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, not even in the Jukebox. This makes Dedede's theme from Kirby Super Star the only music piece in Kirby's Return to Dream Land to not reappear in the remake.
    • The music that plays in Robo Dedede's second phase is a remix of Heavy Lobster's theme from Kirby Super Star Ultra. In Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, it plays in the last room of Stage 5 of Egg Engines.
