Learn about King Dedede, the blue penguin king of Dreamland in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, who wields a large hammer.

King Dedede is the ruler of Dreamland and has a history of causing trouble for Kirby. He is described as a weak-minded soul who is jealous of Kirby, rather than truly evil. Visually, King Dedede is a blue penguin resembling Santa Claus, wearing a red royal coat with white fuzzy edges, a woollen cap with a white tuft, and yellow and orange pants. He is never seen without his signature large hammer, which he uses to clear paths of rocks and debris.

Tips
  • Kirby can jump on King Dedede's back in difficult areas to gain control of the penguin.
  • King Dedede's hammer is essential for clearing obstacles in his path.
