Clash at Castle Dedede is the final main stage ofWorld of Peace: Dream Land inKirby Star Allies. This stage takes place insideCastle Dedede, whereKing Dedede must be fought at the end. Completing this stage unlocks the second level;World of Miracles: Planet Popstar.

Overview[edit]

The stage begins in a large hallway inside the castle. Kirby can findPlugg here as well as other foes to defeat or befriend. The hall leads up a set of stairs to reach the next area.

In the next area, Kirby will have to battle an ambush of King Dedede's minions, withBugzzy last in line to bout. Defeating them opens the way forward. After a round-trip door, another ambush must be faced. From there, a door can be reached which requires two friends to open.

The next area is a split path where Kirby and his friends will need to work together to travel through.

From there, Kirby and his allies travel down a long and ominously quiet hall. In the next room, after an opportunity to pick up more friends, Kirby battlesKing Dedede, who had been munching on a huge pile of dirty fruit. The fight plays out normally at first, until King Dedede suddenly becomes much beefier than usual. Suddenly he breaks the floor and sends the allies down to lower levels of the castle. Eventually, Dedede is defeated, and adark heart pops out of him as he reverts to normal. With the stage cleared, Kirby dances to celebrate the supposed end of his adventure, accompanied by a faux credits sequence.

Rare Picture Piece Guide[edit]

During the second ambush section, there are two large metal blocks on alcoves. These can be broken usingFriend Throw to reveal the picture piece inside the one to the right.

Hidden Area[edit]

Version 3.0.0. added a hidden area in this stage. At the beginning of the corridor that leads to the King Dedede battle, the first window is actually open and leads to the hidden area.

This hidden area has a set of puzzles that require Kirby to destroy theBomb Block and then move forward before the path is shut, very similar toWhite Wafers - Stage 5's secondEnergy Sphere puzzle fromKirby's Return to Dream Land. At the end of the area awaits a tougher version ofBonkers, and defeating him rewards Kirby manyPicture Pieces,Point Stars, aMaxim Tomato, and a1-Up. Then, Kirby has to backtrack to leave this area and fight King Dedede in the end.

Enemies, Bosses, and Abilities[edit]

In Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go![edit]

Rooms of Clash at Castle Dedede are used in level 1 of all routes ofGuest Star ???? Star Allies Go!, in particular due to all of them featuring the last room of this stage, which has the battle with King Dedede (although, inThe Three Mage-Sisters' run, he is replaced withParallel Dedede). In addition, one route has a unique room based on this stage. While the first and third rooms are present in most routes, they do not contain anyPower-Up Hearts orDream Rods to collect. Also, the hidden area of this stage is not accessible in this mode. The following is a list of Power-Up Heart locations in reused rooms, as well as the new rooms based on the stage:
