You're right, Kirby. We can't give up now. We've come too far!
— Bandana Waddle Dee,Kirby Battle Royale

Bandana Waddle Dee, originally known asWaddle Dee prior toKirby: Triple Deluxe, is a recurring deuteragonist and major supporting character in theKirby series. As his name implies, he is aWaddle Dee wearing a blue bandana on his head. His weapon of choice is usually aspear, but in some games, such asKirby Battle Royale, he wields aparasol instead. Originally shown to beKing Dedede's most loyal subject, later games portray him asKirby's closest friend, and he sometimes even assists Kirby in battling the king.

Bandana Waddle Dee debuted inKirby Super Star as the first opponent inMegaton Punch. His first major role was inKirby Super Star Ultra, as the secondary antagonist ofRevenge of the King. After this, he appeared as one of the four playable protagonists ofKirby's Return to Dream Land, and has starred in nearly every game in theKirby series since.

Additionally, asimilar Waddle Dee character appeared as a supporting character inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards. While several hints have been made that might suggest the two are the same character, this has not been confirmed.

Physical appearance[edit]

Bandana Waddle Dee, just like other Waddle Dees, is a round, orange creature with a peach-colored face, where his eyes and most of the rest of his body are located, though his body is typically of a much redder shade of orange when compared to other members of his species. He has also two yellow feet and small stubby arms. His blue bandana differentiates him from others of his kind. In most of his appearances, he also wields a spear to further differentiate himself; the design of the spear is near-identical to that of theSpearCopy Ability, but starting inKirby Fighters 2, the ribbon tied around it has been orange rather than red. InKirby Battle Royale, he uses a blue parasol with a star on top of it instead of his usual spear.

Personality[edit]

Bandana Waddle Dee is most often portrayed as adventurous and energetic, contrasting with the lackadaisical nature of his kind. InKirby's Return to Dream Land andKirby Star Allies, his pause screen descriptions emphasize his courage compared to the other Waddle Dees, going as far as to call him "everyone's idol". Even when not in battle, he still does his best to support Kirby and his friends, as shown by how he providesAssist Stars in bothKirby: Triple Deluxe andKirby: Planet Robobot.

He is also shown to be very determined, but somewhat fearful, in games such asKirby Super Star and its remake. In the sub-gameRevenge of the King, he became more and more afraid every time Kirby defeated one ofKing Dedede's minions, but even after being spared from fighting Kirby by Dedede, he went into battle anyway. This shows his bravery and strong sense of loyalty to his King. InKirby Battle Royale, Bandana Waddle Dee showed an intense fear before battlingMeta Knight and King Dedede, but still defeated both, thanks to his determination and faith in Kirby.

Kirby Super Star[edit]

KSS Megaton Punch Bandana Waddle Dee sprite.png InKirby Super Star, Waddle Dee makes his debut as the first opponentKirby faces in theMegaton PunchSub-Game. He starts the battle by winking, waving if he wins, and fainting if he loses.

Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]

KSSU Bandana Waddle Dee Sprite.pngKirby Super Star Ultra was Bandana Waddle Dee's first major appearance. He appears only in three modes:The Arena,Revenge of the King, andMegaton Punch.

In The Arena, he replaces the regular Waddle Dee that appears as a jokeMid-Boss in the originalKirby Super Star. He fills a similar role as the original "mid-boss", but, unlike the latter, can move around slowly and jump. He has more HP than regular Waddle Dees, but can be inhaled. Much like most other Waddle Dees, he provides noCopy Ability upon getting swallowed.

Waddle Dee is also battled inThe Revenge stage in Revenge of the King, and also has some dialogue withthe Great King concerningKirby andMid-Bosses. After all of mid-bosses are defeated, Waddle Dee fights Kirby despite being spared by King Dedede; he fights the same as in The Arena. After his battle, he appears as the only spectator during the fight between Kirby andMasked Dedede, where he cheers to the latter occasionally when he attacks Kirby. He appears midway in the credits of Revenge of the King, where he and a large amount of Waddle Dees accompany him as he sadly walks in a desert.

Finally, he reprises his role in theMegaton Punch sub-game, which is a port of the original version fromKirby Super Star.

Kirby Mass Attack[edit]

Waddle Dee makes a cameo in theMeta Knight battle of theStrato Patrol EOS sub-game. He is seen cheering for him alongsideSailor Waddle Dee fromRevenge of Meta Knight.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land[edit]

KRtDL Bandana Waddle Dee 2.png
Artwork ofWaddle Dee fromKirby's Return to Dream Land

Waddle Dee gets an even bigger role inKirby's Return to Dream Land, this time as a main character in the story, appearing in various cutscenes, and is a playable character.

Waddle Dee can use his spear to attack, identically to the waySpear Kirby can. Unlike Kirby,Meta Knight, orKing Dedede, Waddle Dee doesn't fly, but he can useInfinity Jumps to keep up.

Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition[edit]

Waddle Dee appears during the intro cinematic forKirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, to present the title screen along withKing Dedede,Meta Knight, andKirby. He also appears in thestaff credits of theNew Challenge Stages, using his Waddle Copter overWhite Wafers.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]

Artwork of Bandana Waddle Dee inKirby: Triple Deluxe.
Bandana Waddle Dee as he appears inKirby: Triple Deluxe.

InKirby: Triple Deluxe, Bandana Waddle Dee appears in many stages to give Kirby (and King Dedede inDededetour!) healing items inAssist Stars to store on the player's touch screen, mainly before mid-boss fights. He also always appears in boss stages to give items prior to the boss fights. If the player has a StreetPass tag with someone before they meet Bandana Waddle Dee, he will give better items. These include green and redPoint Stars as well as more powerful healing items, such asEnergy Drinks orMaxim Tomatoes, and evenKeychains. If the player has StreetPass tags with the same person multiple times, the quality of the healing items get even better, the value of the Point Stars increases, and Bandana Waddle Dee may even throw a Rare Keychain to Kirby.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse[edit]

InKirby and the Rainbow Curse, Bandana Waddle Dee (here referred to asRed Waddle Dee) appears alongside two differently-colored clones,Yellow Waddle Dee andGreen Waddle Dee, both of which were painted byElline.[2] These three Waddle Dees are controlled by additional players to assist Kirby by carrying him and tossing him, as well as jabbing enemies that get in the way with their spears. They can useInfinity Jumps, but compared to other games they have slight differences such as each subsequent jump gains less height unless they touch the ground or arainbow rope again. They also have twohit points compared to Kirby. Additionally, they are the only ones that can stopGrab Hands from getting Kirby when they appear in multiplayer gameplay. They also accompany Kirby in his varioustransformations in various ways. They are controlled normally, unlike Kirby, who remains in ball form and must follow the rainbow ropes.

If Waddle Dee attacks Kirby, he drops a Point Star. This can be repeated until 50 of them are dropped per stage. Additionally, when entering the game and getting hurt as Waddle Dee, their voice clips are played through the Wii Remote's speaker.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

Bandana Waddle Dee performs the same function inKirby: Planet Robobot as inKirby: Triple Deluxe, offering Kirby food items he can store at various points in the stages. Using StreetPass causes similar effects toKirby: Triple Deluxe, just withstickers instead of keychains.

InMeta Knightmare Returns, instead of giving Meta Knight an Assist Star before bosses, he will instead give him a sphere containing 8Meta Points.

If the Waddle Deeamiibo is scanned, Kirby will gain a custom Parasol ability based on Bandana Waddle Dee. This ability gives Kirby a Waddle Dee's color scheme with a blue bandana, as well as a unique blue spotted parasol, which would later appear as Bandana Waddle Dee's weapon inKirby Battle Royale.

Bandana Waddle Dee also appears as several stickers, including a doodle.

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe /Super Kirby Clash[edit]

In bothTeam Kirby Clash Deluxe andSuper Kirby Clash, Bandana Waddle Dee can be found in the village, overseeing theGem Apple Tree. He is the first character that Kirby talks to in both games: he explains the basics of the village, as well as the situation. From that point onward, he oversees Gem Apple harvesting, giving Kirby the yield every time it's ready, as well as offering general advice and commentary.

InSuper Kirby Clash, Bandana Waddle Dee is also depicted on multiplestickers.

Kirby Battle Royale[edit]

Artwork of Bandana Waddle Dee fromKirby Battle Royale.
A still from the introduction, as Kirby bumps into Bandana Waddle Dee.

InKirby Battle Royale, Bandana Waddle Dee serves a prominent role in the single-player mode,Dedede's Cake Royale. Kirby meets up with him on the way to the arena, finding him exhausted, having 'walked all night long' to get there. As such, Kirby agrees to carry him for a while down the trail. After Kirby deals with an enemy ambush, including another blue Kirby, theWarp Star appears to take them both to the arena.

From here on, Bandana Waddle Dee serves as an ally to Kirby in team matches. Unlike in previous incarnations, Bandana Waddle Dee uses aparasol modeled after the one Kirby uses when copying the Waddle Deeamiibo inKirby: Planet Robobot instead of a spear. While the player cannot play as Bandana Waddle Dee, a hatless Waddle Dee can be unlocked for Battle Mode who plays much the same.

Kirby Star Allies[edit]

InKirby Star Allies, Bandana Waddle Dee appears as one of the first availableDream Friends alongsideRick & Kine & Coo,Marx andGooey, recruitable from aDream Palace without the need to unlock him. His moveset is largely the same as it was inKirby's Return to Dream Land, but with a few tweaks, including the ability to have hisspear receiveelemental powers from allies, and, since version 4.0.0., gains the Ground Thrust attack. Since Kirby cannot obtain theSpear ability in this title, Bandana Waddle Dee is the only user of thisCopy Ability (Zan Partizanne ofThe Three Mage-Sisters has a different style of spear combat when playable as a Dream Friend). Much like inKirby's Return to Dream Land, Bandana Waddle Dee has 40 HP in most modes, but has the same health as Kirby inThe Ultimate Choice.

Out of all the Dream Friends in this game, Bandana Waddle Dee is the only one that doesn't represent a specificKirby series game, instead representing the Waddle Dee species as a whole.

InGuest Star ???? Star Allies Go!, Bandana Waddle Dee's title screen since version 2.0.0. features hisMegaton Punch sprites fromKirby Super Star, his 3D artworks from modern titles, and his doodlesticker fromKirby: Planet Robobot. Starting with version 2.0.0., his Dream Friend jingle is based on the Wii Channel Logo music fromKirby's Return to Dream Land, which in turn is based onWelcome to Dream Land, the title theme fromKirby's Dream Land.

Cameos[edit]

Kirby Fighters 2[edit]

Bandana Waddle Dee appears as a playable character inKirby Fighters 2, using his same moveset fromKirby Star Allies and thus acting as a substitute for the Spear ability. He is the only Buddy available from the start. Starting in this game, the ribbon tied around his spear is colored orange, whereas in previous games it was red.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land[edit]

InKirby and the Forgotten Land, Bandana Waddle Dee serves as the Player 2 character. This screenshot shows him performing anemote with Kirby inWelcome to Wondaria.

Bandana Waddle Dee returns as a playable character inKirby and the Forgotten Land. Here, he takes the role of the second player character, and takes his spear into battle as usual. Among his new abilities is dropping spear-like projectiles downward on foes while using his Waddle Copter, as well as a new finisher to his Multispear Thrust where he swings his spear above himself and slams it to the ground, sending out a projectile.

When Kirby is using certainMouthful Mode forms such as Car Mouth, Bandana Waddle Dee can ride on top of him while throwing spears.

Unlike Kirby, Bandana Waddle Dee cannot receive anyevolved powers. Instead, whenever Kirby is using such an ability, Bandana Waddle Dee's attacks will be powered-up to a level appropriate to the ability Kirby is using.

Bandana Waddle Dee cannot be played as immediately when starting the game, as he doesn't catch up with Kirby until clearingPoint of Arrival, after which he tells Kirby he is there to help at any time. After this point, a second player is free to join in at any time as Bandana Waddle Dee.

When Bandana Waddle Dee is active as Player 2, he will appear in every in-game cutscene. When he is not active, he can be found in Waddle Dee Town, lounging on a reclining chair onceKirby's House is built, and slouching near theWarp Star whileElfilin is kidnapped. Regardless of whether or not Bandana Waddle Dee is active, he still makes appearances in the opening and ending pre-rendered cutscenes for the game.

Kirby's Dream Buffet[edit]

InKirby's Dream Buffet, Bandana Waddle Dee is represented by acostume that Kirby can wear. Notably, theWaddle DeeCPU racers can also sometimes wear this costume, making the resemblance practically indistinguishable. Bandana Waddle Dee also appears on threeCharacter Treats; one depicts him alone using his artwork fromKirby's Return to Dream Land, another depicts art of him with Kirby, King Dedede, and Meta Knight on a Warp Star, also from that game, and the last depicts him using his art fromKirby and the Forgotten Land.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]

InKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Bandana Waddle Dee reprises his role from the originalKirby's Return to Dream Land. He is now referred to as "Bandana Waddle Dee" rather than just "Waddle Dee" like in newer games, and has the orange ribbon around his spear introduced inKirby Fighters 2. He also has the Ground Thrust move fromKirby Star Allies added to his moveset. However, the ability to instantly charge Waddle Copter by holding the attack button during Ground Thrust has been removed. Many of his other moves were also modified to function as they do in the aforementioned game. For example, when holding the opposite direction while using Waddle Spear Barrage, instead of turning around, he will drift backwards in midair. Additionally, aDress-Up Mask featuring his likeness can be unlocked by completing card #21 of theStamp Rally, and wearing it will replace the wearer's voice with Bandana Waddle Dee's.

TheDream Kingdom version of Bandana Waddle Dee makes a cameo inone of the credits pictures inMagolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler, where he is seen congregating with the others.

In theKirby novel series[edit]

Light Novel Waddle Dee Artwork.png
Waddle Dee from the novel series
Main article:Waddle Dee (novel character)

Bandana Waddle Dee is one of the main protagonists of theKirby novel series. Initially, his appearance was that of a normal Waddle Dee, since he was the only one that existed in theKirby novel series. It wasn't untilKirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!! that he starts wearing his signature bandana after theKirby Printer made thousands of clones of him, and started being called Bandana Waddle Dee (although characters often still call him simply "Waddle Dee").

His role is similar to Bandana Waddle Dee from the games, as he's shown as both a subordinate of King Dedede as well as a friend of Kirby, and the leader of the other Waddle Dees. While initially he was portrayed as completely unable to battle, over time he has started to sometimes use a spear or a parasol to fight, although he is still not fond of battling in general.

  • "OnFridays, you earn extraLight Fragments! Try and get as many as you can!"
  • "It's [day], [MM]/[DD]/[YYYY]! Wait a second..."
  • "That's odd! The village clock changed!"
  • "You might notice that the time looks a little wrong, but don't worry..."
  • "It'll be fixed after a single day passes!"
  • "Remember, if you change the time on your Nintendo 3DS, the town clock changes too."
  • "Welcome back, Kirby!"
  • "Thank you for protecting everyone in the kingdom whenLandia EX went berserk!"
  • "Things may look peaceful now, buttough times are always around the bend..."
  • "I suspect thatmore challenging battles are in your future!"
  • "The only one who can save the world...is you! I believe in you, Kirby!"
  • "Good luck!"
  • "Urgh..."
  • "H-huh?"
  • "Kirby? What are you doing here?"
  • "Never mind. Don't have time. I'm late enough as it is!"
  • "Oooh... Can't take another step. I walked all night long."
  • "But, I have to get to the cake of my dreams!"
  • "All I can THINK about is that tasty, tasty cake!"
  • "What, Kirby? Wait..."
  • "Don't tell me you're after that cake too!"
  • "Then could you do me a favor?"
  • "Could you carry me to the stadium for Dedede's Cake Royale?"
  • "Thanks, Kirby!"
  • "You'll have to pick me up. Stand next to me, and then press R!"
  • "Please, take me with you! Stand next to me, and then press R."
  • "What? A dead end?"
  • "Waaah! Surprise attack!"
  • "Watch out, Kirby!"
  • "Are you OK, Kirby?"
  • "What a relief!"
  • "Huh? What's in that bush?"
  • "He looks just as tough as you, Kirby! Be careful!"
  • "Yikes! That crazy blue guy just attacked us out of the blue!"
  • "If he was pink, he could have been your identical twin!"
  • "There's something strange about all this, don't you think?"
  • "Well, let's keep moving. We've got to get to that stadium!"
  • "Hey, what's that up there? In the sky, falling fast!"
  • "Oh! It looks like... Yes, it is!"
  • "Wow! The Warp Star got us to the stadium in no time at all!"
  • "Woo-hoo! Just got my energy back too. That feels great!"
  • "I can walk by myself now. So I'll follow you to the entrance."
  • "What? No one told us about that!"
  • "You did it, Kirby! I knew you could."
  • "But, King Dedede! Who are all these Kirby look-alikes?"
  • "We have to battle copies of Kirby?!"
  • "Kirby, you up for taking on all these other Kirbys?"
  • "I mean, there is a cake at stake. The tastiest cake ever..."
  • "Then let's do this! We'll get that cake no matter what!"
  • "I can't wait for our first battle in Dedede's Cake Royale!"
  • "That looks like the place where we need to check in."
  • "Let's head over there."
  • "You won your battle!"
  • "I won mine, too. Whew, barely!"
  • "Some of these battles have us go solo, but some are team battles!"
  • "When you do team battles, can I be your partner, Kirby?"
  • "Yay! Thanks!"
  • "OK! Let's battle our way to the top of the championship!"
  • "I'll keep doing my best in our Team Battles, no matter what!"
  • "Hey! I bet that blue Kirby in the woods came from that printer!"
  • "You've hit the maximum points for this league, Kirby!"
  • "So now we can try out for the next league with the Qualifier Battle!"
  • "Looks like all we need to do is head through those doors."
  • "It's a lot of pressure, I know..."
  • "But we'd better head in and see what we can do!"
  • "We did it! We battled our way into the Bronze League!"
  • "You're really great at this, Kirby. I'll keep doing my best too!"
  • "Hope I can keep up with you. I bet it's going to get harder though."
  • "I can't even imagine all the battles ahead of us, Kirby."
  • "But let's grab all the points we can in this Bronze League!"
  • "I can't believe we got into the Bronze League."
  • "And I bet the league above this one will be even tougher!"
  • "Whoa. The reporters are here. We need to look good!"
  • "When you get a new ability, try it out in the Training Room!"
  • "Your League Points have already hit the maximum, Kirby?"
  • "Mine too!"
  • "Then let's head through the doors for the Qualifier Battles."
  • "We did it, Kirby! We got into the Silver League!"
  • "I bet there will be even more kinds of battles here."
  • "We're a good team when we partner up, aren't we?"
  • "All these battles... I wonder who thought them all up."
  • "Hey, I bet there are new battles ready for us right now!"
  • "I'm ready to fight no matter what they throw at us!"
  • "Now, let's get out there and win that amazing cake!"
  • "Mmm... That cake..."
  • "My tummy's rumbling just thinking about it!"
  • "I'd like to be interviewed too..."
  • "I think it's fun to play in leagues we've already been in."
  • "You can earn a lot of points in League Battles..."
  • "But clearing each and every one is really a huge accomplishment!"
  • "How many League Points have you gotten, Kirby?"
  • "You hit the maximum? Hey, I just got there too."
  • "Then let's get to our Qualifier Battles. I bet we'll do great!"
  • "We made it to the Gold League, Kirby. We did it!"
  • "Meh... Meh... META KNIGHT?! You're competing too?!"
  • "A battle against Meta Knight? Sounds intense..."
  • "Don't underestimate Meta Knight, Kirby. He's one tough cookie."
  • "Once you hit the Gold League, you'll REALLY get more fans."
  • "If you’re having trouble with a battle, try using a different ability."
  • "It's hard to rack up points once you get to the Gold League, right?"
  • "But chances are we're going to have to go up against Meta Knight."
  • "We'll probably be facing him in the Qualifier Battle."
  • "I definitely wouldn't want to go up against Meta Knight alone."
  • "Luckily, I'll have you there with me."
  • "Let's do it! We'll take on the whole league, Meta Knight included!"
  • "In order to beat Meta Knight, we need to bring our A game!"
  • "We both maxed out our League Points, Kirby!"
  • "Let's head into our Qualifier Battle!"
  • "This one's in the bag, Kirby!"
  • "Meta Knight! I knew we'd face you in the Qualifier Battle!"
  • "A showdown with Meta Knight..."
  • "It's kind of weird, but..."
  • "...I'm not scared. Sure, Meta Knight is tough."
  • "But with you by my side, I'm not worried at all!"
  • "LET'S GOOOOOO!"
  • "We made it to the Platinum League, Kirby!"
  • "I can't believe it!"
  • "Even if it was a fluke... WE BEAT META KNIIIIIIIGHT!"
  • "META KNIIIIIIIIIGHT!"
  • "Meta Knight was pretty tough, huh?"
  • "I've been worried this whole time that I've held you back, Kirby."
  • "But thanks for letting me join you in battle anyway!"
  • "Because we made it to the final league!"
  • "Now, let's claim the championship and pig out on tasty cake!"
  • "I think everyone's seeing us in a different light now!"
  • "I'll need to give a speech if we beat this league and the tourney!"
  • "But I guess I'm getting a bit ahead of myself there."
  • "Battles in the final league are really different and intense!"
  • "We've gotten past the halfway point for this league."
  • "The final challenge for this league will be the Championship Battle."
  • "But I wonder who we'll be fighting in that battle..."
  • "I mean, our rival could be anyone in the Championship Battle."
  • "But I guess we have a lot of League Battles left before then!"
  • "Our Championship Battle isn't too far off now!"
  • "That super-tasty, extra-deluxe, gigantic cake is nearly ours!"
  • "Finally! The Championship Battle!"
  • "You know what happens if we win this, right?"
  • "Cake, cake, cake!"
  • "Y-Your Majesty?"
  • "Huh? He can't mean..."
  • "Ah, what's the point now? He'll never let us win the tournament."
  • "You're right, Kirby. We can't give up now. We've come too far!"
  • "Then let's head through those doors soon!"
  • "It's time for our final battle!"
  • "We did it! We really did it!"
  • "We're the champions!"
  • "Can you believe it, Kirby?"
  • "We fought side by side through all those different kinds of battles."
  • "Thank you, Kirby!"
  • "Now for our prize..that amazing extra-deluxe cake!"
  • "But we won fair and square, Your Majesty!"
  • "But that's not fair!"
  • "That was spectacular, Kirby! I knew you had it in you."
  • "Finally, victory!"
  • "Wh-what now, Your Majesty?"
  • "Kirby!"
  • "Come back! We don't have any idea what's in there!"

  • "We don't know what to do!"
  • "Can you stop the attack and save our kingdom?"

  • "Now get on your way...and be careful!"
  • "Get started by tilting ↑ in front of theQuest Board!"
  • "Welcome back!"

  • "Welcome back, Kirby! Good job clearing thatordeal!"
  • "I'm impressed you were able to defeat an enemy like that. I'd've been shaking too much to hold a weapon!"
  • "I guess that's why you're the adventurer. Speaking of which..."
  • "Have you rung theAdventurer Bell here in the village to call otheradventurers yet?"
  • "I hear they'll fight alongside you in quests, and even bring you gifts, so you should definitely give it a try!"
  • "Welcome back, Kirby! Good job clearing thatordeal!"

  • "Be sure to prep your gear, then take him on!"
  • "Welcome back, Kirby! Good job clearing thatordeal!"
  • "It looks like there arenew quests...but you might want to raise your level before trying them out!"
  • "Welcome back, Kirby! Good job clearing thatordeal!"
  • "Looks like the time has finally come toface Parallel Nightmare, the villain behind all this!"
  • "I've...got abad feeling about it, Kirby."

  • "Please be careful out there."
  • "I'll be waiting with everyone else here in the village for your return!"

  • "If you want a second player to join you, just call me anytime through the + pause menu. I'll rush over!"
  • "That weird vortex pulled me into the sky... I had no idea what was happening. I still don't!"
  • "At least I found the other Waddle Dees. It looks like they arrived in this new world just before me."
  • "I was searching high and low for our friends...and then I saw an odd, pink car dash by."
  • "I'm guessing that was you, huh, Kirby?"
  • "That looked like quite a mouthful. Everything OK in there? Don't bite off more than you can chew!"
  • "This place has gotten much livelier now that the townsfolk are finding their way back."
