Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weakness: Kirby's Sword ability is particularly effective against Mt. Dedede.
• Resistances: Most other abilities deal less damage.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Mt. Dedede attacks with his hammer, performing wide swings and ground pounds. He also uses his hammer to create shockwaves.
2. Phase 2: Dedede summons Waddle Dees to attack Kirby. He will also continue his hammer attacks, often with more aggressive patterns.
3. Phase 3: Dedede uses his hammer to launch projectiles and performs a powerful spinning attack. He may also jump and slam down, creating a large shockwave.

Strategy:

• When Dedede summons Waddle Dees, quickly defeat them to avoid being overwhelmed.
• Dodge Dedede's projectiles and spinning attacks. The timing for these can be tricky, so observe his patterns carefully.
• When Dedede jumps and slams down, use the invincibility frames from a dodge or a well-timed attack to avoid damage.
• The Warp Star can be used to bypass some of Dedede's attacks and deal significant damage if timed correctly.
